Hello. I am here to review Pokémon Fire Red for the Game Boy Advance. This game has some neat graphics that really impress me. Charizard doesn't look like a donkey, the colors are vibrant, and, to top it all of, you have some of the most amazing trainer graphics in a Pokémon game! The music is mediocre, as it is for all GBA games. It has good music, but some of the cries are bit-crushed(!) a moderate amount, so they sound...weird. The Addictiveness is really high, whereas it is a game where there is a 1 to 50 chance to put it down, unless you need to sleep. You'll be determined to play this game till the very end where you encounter your rival in the final battle. I know I was. Then I put it down and never played it again, but that was because I was beaten up by the difficulty, but more on the difficulty later in this review. The story is a feat to be seen(No wonder there was Pokémon Origins!). Like the original, you must go and be the very best, like no one ever was! On the way, you destroy the evil Pokémon organization known as Team Rocket. You defeat their leader, Giovanni, and his cronies, like the basic grunt, the admins, and the Silph Co. Scientists. It's a very in-depth story. Speaking of "depth", it is a very extensive game with much to do and takes quite a time to beat! You have to beat the 8 Gym Leaders, the grunts, admins and scientists of Team Rocket, as well as Giovanni himself in a tense Gym Leader Battle, the Elite Four, and your Rival as the champion. Ooh, and those battles are very, berry amazing(By the way joke on how I'm a part-time inflationist on deviantART. )! I literally felt like I was ACTUALLY there! But, anyway...the difficulty is what really makes this game fun. Oh my goodness, the difficulty was what made me quit the game, because I was getting my butt handed to me. The later Gym Battles, especially the Gym Leaders, get progressively more difficult in a staggering way as you progress. Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader, has levels in the lower 20s, but Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader, has Pokémon 8 levels higher than Misty's Pokémon! Jeez, talk about a difficulty spike, and that's just the middle of the game! My final rating is a 9 8/10, or a 10 - It could be the best GBA game in the library overall! It has some of the best Pokémon and Trainer sprites in the whole entirety of 2D Pokémon games, the sound could be improved, you'll probably never put this game down unless you needed to, so basically, an addictiveness level of most Pokémon games, the story is like an epic graphic book unraveling before your retinas, the depth is at a 9 on the Patent-Pending Depth-o-Meter, and it's hard as all get out.
