Few series have remakes that hold as much significance as the Pokémon series, they always bring innovations despite being remakes and they are eagerly anticipated by fans for years, sometimes even more so than new games, despite being released only every six years. And all of this was initiated by Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, born out of a very specific need from Game Freak. The announcement and quick release surprised everyone, with only a few weeks between the reveal and launch of the games. Despite a discreet promotion, the games had a lightning-fast start, but sales quickly slowed, which may indicate a mixed reception, moreover, they faced strong criticism from journalists, some saw it as a game with no reason to exist, offering nothing substantially new, while others considered it an excellent title that enhanced the first generation so much that it became outstanding. As is often the case with Pokémon games, opinions vary widely. But surprisingly, despite being controversial, this game had a significant impact on the Pokémon franchise and even on Nintendo as a whole.
So, how did the idea of a Pokémon remake on the Game Boy Advance arise, especially when the console is compatible with Game Boy games? How did Game Freak develop a remake of an iconic first generation? Why did it cause such a division among journalists upon release, and why is it one of the lowest-rated Pokémon games? Moreover, how did it influence not only the Pokémon franchise but also the Nintendo consoles of that era? This is the story and the analysis of Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, the strange remake of the first generation.
