In Pokémon Fire Red and Water Blue, trainers
will once again explore Kanto. As in Pokémon Crystal, Ruby, and
Sapphire, the trainer can be either a boy or a girl. |

The
Oaks
| Professor Oak is still the Pokémon Professor of Pallet Town who
gives new trainers their pokémon. Fortunately, that aspect hasn't
changed. It is a mystery what has changed, though (because something
must've changed. The Lavander Town ghost tower was turned into a radio
tower in only one year, for instance) |

The new pokédex has been powered up. It will now not only
inform what that pokémon's habitat is, but also if the pokémon must be evolved
or hatched to be captured. |
_
| Professor Oak's grandson will rival the new trainer. It is unknown
whether this is Gary
starting his adventure over by taking on a new rival, or if it's
another one of Oak's grandchildren who is becoming a pokémon trainer. |

New
Items
_
| The item that the trainers
carry on the straps of their bags is a Battle Searcher.
This device is obtained in Vermilion
City and it lets its owner see which trainers can battle
him/her again. It's usually used by standing near a group of
people already battled and pressing the button. The trainers that
can battle again will signal to the owner of the Battle Searcher
that they are ready to battle immediately. It is highly useful
when a trainer's Pokémon need training. |

The Voice Checker to the left is a special item that records
some of the things that some of the most important characters in
Kanto say. It also stores what some of the road signs say as soon
as the trainer reads them, of course. |
Another
POV
| In the game, entering a new area will actually display a picture of
it from the point of view of a trainer in that area. |
|
Islands
|
Maps
of all Islands
|
In Pokémon Fire Red and Water Blue, several new islands to the South
of Kanto are accessible
by sailing where there will be many characters (among which Bill
is prominent) and many pokémon to meet. |
 |
Mini-games
|
|
In the new islands it will be possible for trainers to play
mini-games with their pokémon with other trainers through their
gameboys without needing to connect them thanks to the wireless
function.
