Hello there, fellow trainers! Professor Oak here, your friendly neighborhood Pokémon expert. I heard you're curious about completing the
National Pokédex in
Pokémon Fire Red. That's a tall order, but with my guidance, you'll be well on your way to becoming a true Pokémon Master!
Now, let's address a common misconception. You
cannot obtain the National Pokédex within Pokémon Fire Red itself. The game is limited to the first 151 Pokémon of the Kanto region. However, that doesn't mean you can't
catch 'em all! You see, Fire Red allows trading with other Game Boy Advance games:
*
Pokémon Leaf Green: Your journey begins with trading Pokémon exclusive to Leaf Green to complete your Kanto Pokédex.
*
Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald: These games introduce Pokémon from the Hoenn region. Trading with these games is crucial for expanding your collection.
* **Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness:** These GameCube titles offer unique Pokémon and the ability to transfer them to your GBA games.
Here's a breakdown of how to get started:
1. Complete the Kanto Pokédex: Capture as many of the 151 Kanto Pokémon as possible. Trade with friends or use two Game Boy Advance systems and copies of Fire Red and Leaf Green to obtain version exclusives.
2. Obtain a Link Cable: To trade with other GBA games, you'll need a Game Boy Advance Link Cable. This cable allows two GBA systems to connect and initiate trades.
3. Trade, Trade, Trade: Connect with friends who own the other Pokémon games mentioned earlier. Trade your Kanto Pokémon for Pokémon from other regions. Remember, some Pokémon may require evolution or special conditions to be traded.
4. Don't Forget In-Game Events: Participate in in-game events or use cheat codes (at your own risk) to encounter rare Pokémon like Mew and Deoxys. These events can vary depending on your game version and region.
Remember, completing the National Pokédex is a challenging but rewarding endeavor. It requires patience, dedication, and a passion for the world of Pokémon. Now go out there and catch 'em all!
