>>51343421Actually playing FireRed right now. It's pretty bland in some areas, but most of the time I'm enjoying myself. It's not awesome, but it's not really bad, either. Perfectly average and serviceable Pokémon game, in my opinion. If you decide you wanna play it, don't expect a beta version of HGSS and you'll probably like it.
I also found a shiny Spearow while looking for a Drowzee to add to my team. Good times.
Jolteon pic for lulz. I'm using it, too.
