Pokémon LeafGreen Version is a role-playing video game for the Game Boy Advance, released alongside Pokémon FireRed Version. Both titles serve as remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Green games, featuring the Kanto region's gameplay with enhanced graphics and updated mechanics. Released in various regions between January and October 2004, the games improved player connectivity using the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter. They became highly successful, ranking among the best-selling titles for the system.
Pokémon LeafGreen Version and Pokémon FireRed Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.
As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.
The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately.
FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.
