And, if you're still coming to grips with the often puzzling world of Pokemon, there's a useful help function, just a button press away. When loading a saved game, a short recap scene reminds players where they were up to when they last played. The game's presentation has been lifted a few notches. Pokemon Masters, young and old, can take on other trainers, or swap Pokemon, without needing a link cable. Of course, players will need to trade between Fire Red and Leaf Green to "catch'em all" but now trading (and battling) is made easier, thanks to the new wireless adaptor that comes bundled free with each game.
These two new versions, with Ruby, Sapphire (plus Pokemon Colosseum on the Cube) take the number of catchable Pokemon over the 350 mark. All the towns from Red and Blue are untouched, and there are nine new Mystery Islands with extra areas to explore and new Pokemon to capture. If you're still hunting for the elusive Pokemon, they're all back in Leaf Green and Fire Red, along with a handful of new creatures. These two new releases, Pokemon Leaf Green and Pokemon Fire Red, are reworked versions of last year's Pokemon Blue and Red, updated with enhanced graphics, improved sound, and other new additions from series developments. Before that, Pokemon titles had existed only on the older 8-bit Game Boy. Last year's Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ruby were both big sellers, debuting the series on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance platform.
