Pokémon LeafGreen is not WaterBlue... yet... and I personally doubt that the name will change at all. So please, no one change the information until it become official!

[edit] Early Tries!

In my local Wal-Mart Supercenter's Home Entertainment Department, one day I saw a kid who was using Pokémon FireRed in it's full version! (And it's only late August!) WikiPediaAid

Possibly the kid pre-ordered and got it delivered before September, or went to the NY Pokémon Center "party" and was in line for hours and hours to buy it before the offical release date, as quite a few people managed to do.

[edit] Pokemon Players Guide

I put in some important information that I found in the offical Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen Players Guide from Nintendo. Feel free to anyone to update or modify any additional Information.

[edit] Trading Pokemon

How do you trade between pokemon sapphire and pokemon fire red? I've tried to do this and it never lets me ive even used 3 diffrenet link cables and did everything the booklet told me to do. It always stops when it says please wait and after that nothing happenns and i would like to know why. Please help! If you can explain why this happens please post it up.

You need to collect the Red and Blue jems from on of the Islands, and you need to get the National Dex. Sapphire Plate- Rainbow Island 5 Rocket HQ Ruby Plate- Rainbow Island 1 cave. To get the National Dex beat the Elite Four and have at least 6o pokemon.

You must defeat the Elite four. You must then speak to Professor Oak in his laboratory. He will award you with the National Pokedex. A man Called Celio will tell you that he will bring you compatibility between the Hoenn region(Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald) if you can find the Ruby and Sapphire gems. The Ruby will be found in One Island and the Sapphire 5 Island after using cut in the Dotted Hole and retreiving it and having it stole from a Team Rocket scientist. You then have full linkage with Ruby and Sapphire. --XenoNeon 13:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jynx

Why is Jynx's skin purple?? Is it a glich....

Black Jynx is apparently racist, so since the third generation it has had purple skin. Sonic Mew | talk to me 15:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speculation about third game

Some people note that a "WaterBlue" or "ThunderYellow" third game are not necessary. All 150 Pokemon can be found between the two versions, and the Hoenn games (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald) allow all 386 Pokemon to be collected.

This was also true of Pokémon Red and Blue if I recall correctly. However they released Yellow, making Pikachu the selling point of the game. Can this counter argument be added in? I am unfamiliar with policy here... since I thought that up myself does it count as original research? Deskana 23:03, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't see any problem with that statement. Yeah you could include that in the article. And, since Yellow was similar to the anime, you could go to Orange Islands instead of the Sevii Islands.--XenoNeon 13:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] In Addition to the Clock

I'm unsure so I'm not puttin it down, but wouldn't disabling the clock make the Pokérus entirely impossible to get in the game? I can testify that after 165 hours in LeafGreen, I haven't seen it-- though I haven't seen a shiny either, but they're there. --ArrEmmDee 14:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Correct. You cannot catch the Pokérus. You can trade over a Pokémon with it, but I forget what happens... I think it stays infected, but doesn’t spread it. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 20:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mewtwo

I have a question about the game... can mewtwo be caught just like in Red/Blue/Yellow?--Ac1983fan (talk • contribs) 22:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC) Yes in Cerulean Cave--Alquri 22:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, just the same. Enjoy!-EEVEE103 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.138.230.108 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Minor Changes Section

I'm thinking of making a section that shows slight changes between FireRed/Leaf Green and Red/Blue/Yellow (such as Columbia, references to white magic removed, etc.). Do you think this is acceptable or unnecessary? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brown Bomber (talk • contribs) at 17:40 (UTC) on May 7, 2006.

Never mind, it'll go in the "other changes" section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brown Bomber (talk • contribs) at 17:40 (UTC) on May 7, 2006.</.

[edit] Trivia

I removed the section that says Wynaut and Azurill can be acquired without trading. This is because they can't. To breed Wynaut requires a Lax Incense, and Azurill requires a Sea Incense, both of which must be traded from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Stifle (talk) 12:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually...not true. I thought i had acquried a Lax and Sea Incense while playing FR/LG. I just checked a FAQ - on Island Five you can acquire both items, thus, you can breed them without having to trade. Hbdragon88 05:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teddiursa's Sprite

I noticed that the article needs a citation for Teddiursa's sprite being changed. Would Serebii.net's Pokedex entry for Teddiursa showing its RuSa sprite and its FRLG sprite be sufficent? XXDucky21Xx 22:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC

Yeah, http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/216.shtml seems citationey enough, seeing is believing! --Phred Levi 09:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why does Pokemon Brown redirect to this article?

Any explanation? --Ķĩřβȳ♥ŤįɱéØ 08:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Pokemon Brown doesn't even exist.--Suit-n-tie^{What Have I Done?!} 21:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's funny. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.5.121.190 (talk • contribs) .

Pokemon Brown is an old and well-known fan hack. I have no idea why it redirects here. 67.54.145.54 14:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Well known by... whom? -Amarkov ^babble 14:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overemphasis on features

The articles on games are meant to cover a general audience, but this article fails at that due to excessive lists on features. Hence, the tag has been added and should remain until this issue is fixed. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 02:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, I've taken to removing anything that references that things like glitches were "removed" from FireRed and LeafGreen - this implies that the code when the remake was being done actually contained the glitches, which is false. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 02:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Version-exclusive Pokemon

Should there be a section that shows all the Pokémon that are exclusive to one version? For instance, Meowth and Persian used to be available in Pokémon Blue only, and Mankey and Primape in the Red version, but Mankey and Primape are available in LeafGreen and Meowth and Persian in FireRed. It's just an idea.

No. Wikipedia is not a game guide, and that is very game guidey. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 01:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graphic comparison

I'd like to request adding a picture from the original Red and Blue games in order to compare graphic increases.

Specifically, I'd like to place this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PokemonRed.JPG somewhere near this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FR%26LG.GIF in order to compare the two. Does anybody disagree? JiangWei23 05:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
