The FireRed & LeafGreen Pokedex covers every Pokemon available in these Gen 1 Kanto remakes. The regional dex has 151 Pokemon, the original Kanto lineup. After beating the Elite Four and logging 60+ species, you unlock the National Dex and gain access to Gen 2 and Gen 3 Pokemon through trading and post-game areas like the Sevii Islands. Cards with a red or green version badge are exclusive to one version. You'll need to trade to catch them all. Use the sidebar filters to sort by type, base stats, or competitive tier. Click any card to see the full stat spread, evolution chain, and move data for that Pokemon in FRLG.

The Kanto regional Pokedex has 151 Pokemon, the original lineup from Red and Blue. Beat the Elite Four and own at least 60 species to unlock the National Pokedex, which expands the count to 386 across Generations 1 through 3. You won't find all 386 in one cartridge though. Some require trading with Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, or Colosseum.
FireRed gets Oddish, Growlithe, Scyther, and Electabuzz lines. LeafGreen gets Bellsprout, Vulpix, Pinsir, and Magmar lines. There are about 22 exclusives per version. Cards on this page show a red or green badge if the Pokemon is locked to one version, so you can spot them at a glance.
Two requirements: beat the Pokemon League at least once, and have 60+ Pokemon registered as owned in your Pokedex. After that, visit Professor Oak in Pallet Town. He'll upgrade your Pokedex to the National version, which adds entries for all 386 Pokemon. The Sevii Islands and trading become your main source for the expanded roster.
Bulbasaur has the easiest early game. It's super effective or tanks hits against 6 of the 8 gyms. Charmander struggles early (Brock and Misty are rough) but Charizard dominates late. Squirtle sits in the middle. For a smooth playthrough, Bulbasaur. For a challenge that pays off, Charmander.
Yes. Both games launch on Nintendo Switch on February 27, 2026 as standalone digital purchases at $19.99 each. They're not part of Nintendo Switch Online — you buy them separately from the eShop. Local wireless trading and battling work, but there's no online play.
They're Generation 3 games released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. They're remakes of the original Gen 1 Pokemon Red and Blue from 1996. The mechanics run on the Gen 3 engine (abilities, natures, EVs/IVs, double battles) even though the story and region are Kanto from Gen 1.
Depends on your Pokemon preferences. LeafGreen has a slight edge for in-game playthroughs since it gets Vulpix and Starmie is easy to access, but FireRed's Growlithe line and Scyther are fan favorites. The version exclusives are the only real difference. Same story, same map, same post-game. Pick whichever has the Pokemon you want.
