Pokemon FireRed is the enhanced remake of the original Pokemon Red video game. You control the player character from an overhead perspective, and participate in turn-based combat encounters. A new region the player may access have also been added. Throughout the games, the player captures and raises Pokemon for use in battle.

When the player encounters a wild Pokemon or is challenged by a trainer, the screen switches to a turn-based battle screen that displays the player's Pokemon and the engaged Pokemon. During battle, the player may select a move for his or her Pokemon to perform, use an item, switch his or her active Pokemon, or to flee. All Pokemon have hit points (HP) when a Pokemon's HP is reduced to zero, it faints and can no longer battle until it is revived. Once an enemy Pokemon faints, all of the player's Pokemon involved in the battle receive a certain amount of experience points (EXP). After getting enough EXP, a Pokemon may level up.

During battle with a wild Pokemon, the player may throw a PokeBall at it. If the Pokemon is successfully caught, it will obey you. Factors in the success rate of a capture includes the HP of the target Pokemon and the type of PokeBall used: the lower the target's HP and the stronger the PokeBall, the higher the success rate of capture.

Personally, I play Pokemon FireRed on the PC. There is even cheat codes for it. You can get some from here: http://www.neoseeker.com/Games/cheats/GBA/pokemon_firered.html
