Pokémon Fire Red

In Pokémon Fire Red for Android smartphones and tablets, you'll have to fight and develop your skills to defeat the best Pokémon battle masters from Kanto.

The popular game from the Pokémon saga for the Game Boy Advanced

The Pokémon saga has always been as popular as Mario Bros. or Zelda on Nintendo's video game consoles, although obviously not as cool as the Italian Plumber. There have been dozens of versions for different consoles, which are real hits among fans of these games, such as Pokémon Red, which was released in 1996. Well, Pokémon Fire Red, the remake of the latter released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 is now available for Android.

The game, set in the universe of these creatures, introduces us to the classic RPG format of the old NES, controlled from the top down. Our main character will have to explore the Kanto region to master all the Pokémon battles. Our goal is to become champion and for this purpose we must defeat the best trainers without forgetting to complete our Pokédex, the encyclopedia of the game with all 151 species available (Pikachu, Snorlax, Charmander...).
