I've been playing for seven hours, twenty-nine minutes, i have one badge, and here's my team for Fire Red.
level 22 male Charmeleon "Kameik" (i always name my starting charmander after my late pet companion)
level 18 male Pidgeotto "Ms Poppo" (this will be explained in due time)
level 15 female Butterfree "Ex-Dee" (out of name ideas)
level 16 male Nidorino "Gerako" (a name i plan on giving my next pet companion)
level 17 female oddish "Naval" (because bellsprouts are unavailible here)
level 15 male meowth "Kamek" (because it had to be this way)
Overall, the game is rather nice with its oldskool storyline touched up with ruby/sapphire shindigs. I've always loved the first 150 pokemon more than any in the other games ever. The graphics are also nice, as is the music, but i was kind of dissappointed how the some of the songs didnt sound as nostalgic and great as the original, now sounding like some super mario allstars crap or a midi some fan pulled out of his arse and slapped on

Furthermore, Klobber and I started are games together, which made it truly nostalgic. instead of going around "WTF" at each ugly new pokemon the newer adventures have to offer, we were looking for our longtime favorites and it's like, "omigosh! a Paras!" or "Why don't we start looking for meowths now?" And just reliving those early poketraining moments with friends is great! I won't tell you what his pokemon are, except i'll refer to his wortortle as "Seymore" >XD
oh yes, and Charmander learns "Metal*Claw!"
if you train it enough before the pewter gym, it'll learn that attack and it's super effective on rock types. wheeeee!
And then some of the trainer quotes will always be the best!
"I like Shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!" *BATTLE*
pi!
