 - uniquely surprisedI was warry about buying this version of pokemon. I had, by this point, already played and beaten the original Blue and Red versions and was immensly dissapointed that there was no way to link up those old pokemon with the new Spahire and Ruby. When I heard that Blue&Red were being remade as Red&Green I jumped at the chance to get it. However a few comments from people made me worried yet again... they said that MewTwo and Mew weren't in this version. not true. Hidden deep within this game is EVERY single pokemon. All 380+ pokemon created from Blue, Red, Silver, Gold, Yellow, Ruby, Saphire, etc... You CAN catch them all... but it's a bit tricky. You can catch the original 151 by playing between Red and Green and trading. Once you've beaten the game you can get the "national dex" which allows you to trade and catch pokemon from Ruby and Saphire. If you link up with the new GameCube games you can send the more obscure pokemon to your pack. Finally if you go to every pokemon event Nintendo holds you can eventually get all the EXTRA pokemon like Deoxy and Celebi. As for the game itself it is top notch. It really was a treat to go back and re-live what I had forgotten from the old games. While you CAN learn all the moves from Ruby and Spahire, you can't put some of them to use... like dive. Also: the add-ons of the Sevi-Islands is a nice treat as it gives you more places to explore since the original Kanto regon was rather small compared to Ruby and Spahire. The VS's Seeker is a handy device to re-fight all the other trainers, something the original game lacked and is helpfull in collecting money. The graphics are much better too and I like the old-school-ish feel to them when compared to Ruby and Saphire. All in all i'm really happy with this version of the game. It's nice that they have gone to such lengths to keep this game alive and well to a new generation of pokemon fans. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the amount of difficulty it is to catch all 380+ pokemon. ^_^ Rating: - New and Really Improved!Pokemon Leaf Green, one of the newest Gameboy Pokemon titles, is, in short, a new-and-improved version of the classic game Pokemon Blue. When I first heard about Pokemon Leaf Green and its partner, Fire Red, I was very excited to discover Nintendo was remaking the old Pokemon games Red and Blue. Having played Pokemon Red for the first time after Pokemon Silver was released, I was quite dissapointed with the graphics. Not to mention the Missingno and other viruses the testing staff left in the game, which inspire players to perform illegal cheats and don't do the game justice. However, in Leaf Green there's none of that. The graphics are so beautiful; I was spellbound as soon as I watched the intro! The game has even better graphics than Ruby and Sapphire; the buildings in cities and towns are very nicely designed. The music is wonderful too. It's the same basic songs from the old versions, remixed in the Gameboy Advance style to make them sound better. On some songs, such as the Pokemon Tower and Champion battle music, this is a huge improvement. As for the storyline, it is the same as in Red and Blue, but with small changes that keep it from growing old. For example, some of the more confusing comments the trainers made were revised. The Pokemon can learn many new moves; some even differ from their movesets in Gold and Silver. And at the end of the story, you get to explore a new mini-region called the Sevvi Islands and catch Pokemon you couldn't find in the rest of the game! One interesting difference is some trainers make references to places in Johto. Since the Johto region is only featured in Pokemon Gold and Silver, which aren't compatible with Leaf Green, this may be a hint that Nintendo is redoing those games too! Pokemon Leaf Green is a fantastic game, possibly the best Gameboy Pokemon title on the market, and would be a worthwhile play for new and old fans alike. Rating: - I can give respect back to a franchise I thought was dead for years!I thought Pokemon started to die when they came out with so many new Pokemon for some odd reason, and it just made me lose interest completely after Crystal was released. But now, I'm happy to say that this game brings back the feel of the classic Red and Blue versions, the ones that started it all, and puts them to a whole new level, better than ever before. The Pokemon and their attacks look superb on the GBA, and the sounds are much more realistic. So many features from the classic original pair are there, like the old man who teaches you to catch Pokemon, the original gym leaders (and their old Pokemon teams), the classic music, all restored to 32-bit glory! True, they did put in some Pokemon from Gold and Silver, but as long as it isn't like Ruby/Sapphire, I'm GLAD! This may actually be one of the reasons the franchise is being saved from utter extinction. Rating:  - Better than Ruby or Sapphire!!This is a superb pokeon game for GameboyAdvance. It's very entertaining and has excellent graphics. The Pokemon are so cute. The game is kinda pricy though, because it comes with a wireless adapter. It is definetely one of my faveorite games for GameboyAdvance along with Pokemon Ruby and Sonic Battle! Rating: - This is great!To tell you the thruth i have not played this game myself but i was watching my friend play it and it looked great! The graphics are alot better and you run instead of walking or riding a bike. So i think you should get this game right now i am trying to save up for it so i hope you get it!
