The biggest issue with Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen is that many Pokemon are impossible to obtain within the game, even though they’re included in the full Pokedex. While Nintendo once indicated these games would connect to Pokemon Home, that information was later removed, leaving its future uncertain. Because these games lack online trading and rely only on local co-op, Pokemon Home compatibility is crucial for completing the Pokedex. Unfortunately, doing so requires playing some of the least popular entries in the Pokemon series.
