Changes

Red and Leaf

The following are the new changes and upgrades made to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen from the original games.

• The player can choose to play as a male or female character. Red, the male player and Leaf, the female character.
• Pokémon from the Generation II and Generation III games can be obtained. Only a few Generation II Pokémon that aren't part of the Hoenn Pokédex entries can be found in these versions without having to trade from Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (the others can be found on Pokémon Emerald after defeating the Elite Four).
• A new area, the Sevii Islands, can be accessed.
• Pokémon now have genders, natures, and abilities.
• Pokémon can hold items.
• Pokémon are able to breed, once reaching Four Island on the Sevii Islands during the post-game quest.
• Pokémon can evolve into forms available in other generations, with the exception of Pokémon such as Umbreon and Espeon. While these Pokémon can still reach maximum happiness, as there is no internal clock in FR/LG, the game is unable to determine what time it is, and as such is unable to evolve Eevee based on the time of day.
• Moves from Generation II and III are now available.
• TM's from Generation III are now used.
• The Elite Four can be rechallenged, with new Pokémon teams consisting of adding at least one Generation II Pokémon.
• Ponyta, Magmar (LeafGreen), and Moltres have been moved from their original location to One Island's Kindle Road and Mt. Ember.

Trivia

• The famous truck near the SS Anne makes another appearance in the FireRed and LeafGreen games. This time around Strength can actually be used on it and a player will receive a Lava Cookie.
• In the Pewter Science Museum, the model space shuttle has been renamed from Space Shuttle Columbia to just Space Shuttle. The Columbia was destroyed in a tragic explosion before the game's release. In newer versions of the game, it has been renamed to "Space Shuttle Discovery" but in the original FireRed and LeafGreen versions, it is left as "Space Shuttle".
• It is by far the only Pokémon game that they showed commecials for 1 year after it was made.
• The battle between Nidorino and Gengar in the opening movie is similar to the fight shown on Ash's TV in the first episode of Pokémon.
• Although it wasn't released in the United States or United Kingdom, LeafGreen still was remade, making U.S. Pokemon players confused, since Pokemon Red and Blue released in the U.S.
