Pokémon

Pokémon retain their Generation II and III evolutionary lines (e.g. Golbat can evolve into Crobat), but cannot evolve into these new stages until after the player has obtained the National Pokédex. Eevee is the only exception to this...

In the Japanese versions, male NPCs are given a computer-style font while female NPCs show a font that resembles handwritten text. Text from other sources uses the same font as male NPCs. 1.2.

Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version Six years after the original Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, this pair of titles for the Game Boy Advance system introduced Pokémon to a new group of gamers.
Pokémon FireRed Version (Japanese: ポケットモンスターファイアレッド, Hepburn: Pocket Monsters FireRed) and Pokémon LeafGreen Version (Japanese: ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン, Hepburn: Pocket Monsters LeafGreen) are remakes of Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version for the Game Boy Advance.
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are the second Generation III Pokémon games, and the first pair of remakes, starting a trend for the series. They get their names from Pokémon Red and Green, the classic games which are known in the West as Pokémon Red and Blue.
Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen (JP. ) are the enhanced remakes to the original Japanese Pokémon games (Pokémon Red and Green). Because of this, the game features the same Pokémon and storyline as the original games, giving them a nostalgic touch.
