Another true masterpiece from Nintendo! LeafGreen Version for Game Boy Advance comes with a wireless adapter and a Pocket Trainer's Guide! Talk about more bang for your buck!

This game takes you all the way back to Kanto, the very first place that was accessible from the start of the whole Pokémon history. You get to replay through the Kanto side of the game, but you get to use all the technology from Gold, Silver, Ruby and Sapphire versions as well! Which means the Pokémon look different, you get to find and use berries, you get a whole new variety of TM’s *Technical Machines that teach moves to Pokémon* and lots others!

I really enjoy the fact that we get to go back to the very first Pokémon game and replay it with all the current goodies! I fondly remembered my old Blue version, and when I compared that with this new version, I was amazed at how much better the new generation Pokémon game is with enhanced graphics, and text print, and so many things have been modified or replaced, and its ALL good!

The other side of the game, FireRed Version, also has a similar plotline of “Get all the badges and defeat the final four to become the champion!” The only noticeable difference, is that LeafGreen and FireRed have their own version exclusive Pokemon. Like LeafGreen gets Sandshrew, and FireRed gets Growlithe, etc.

Also, once you have beaten the game and collected the Ruby and Sapphire, you can trade with Ruby, Sapphire, and Pokémon Coliseum. I really think it is worth buying them both, especially with the new Wireless mode. With the Wireless Adapter that comes with the game, you can enter a union room that can hold up to 60 people! And now there's a new chat feature, that lets you directly talk to people. You can also trade, and battle to your hearts content.The wireless adapter is good for about 100 feet but obstructions may get in the way of gameplay.

I really love the new game, and you should try it; im sure you will enjoy it too! If you have a birthday coming up, why not talk Mom and Dad (you know, the parentals) into having a massive Pokémon gaming party for you!.They can buy a few copies of both versions, LeafGreen and FireRed, and kids can play /battle against each other! Then, at the end of the party, you can raffle off the extra copies as party prizes (you know, instead of goodie bags). You can even give out the Pocket Trainer's Guide separately from the game...how cool would that be?! You know it! Remember, this is not your little brother's Pokémon game! This is the best it gets! Wireless is here to stay!
