As the first [[remake]]s in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red and Green Versions}}, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.

** In the original games, while battling the [[Elite Four]], only the battle with [[Lance]] used the Gym Leader background music; the standard Trainer background music was used for the other three Elite Four members. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Gym Leader background music is used for all four Elite Four members.

** In the original games, when Professor Oak congratulates the player after becoming the Pokémon League Champion, a slower version of the Viridian/Pewter/Saffron City background music plays. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, a happier-toned version of the Pallet Town background music plays when Professor Oak appears to congratulate the player.

[[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], CEO of [[The Pokémon Company]], when questioned about the reason behind the remakes of Red and Green in an interview with IGN at E3 2004, declared that they did not see FireRed and LeafGreen as remakes but rather as new games sporting wireless functionality.<ref name="IGN">[http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/05/13/e3-2004-the-pokemon-creators-speak E3 2004: The Pokemon Creators Speak - IGN]</ref>

<blockquote>We don't feel that this a remake at all. We feel that this is a new game, with wireless technology. The reason why they are Red and Green is that they were the most popular games in the Pokemon series, and we wanted to introduce the concept again for the GBA. And it's been eight years since Red and Blue, so our target audience changes in that time, and the new audience will see {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}} as new characters.</blockquote>

==Trivia==
[[Game Freak]] also left a nod to players of the original [[Game Boy]] games. In the [[credits]], the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red}} ({{p|Charizard}}), {{game|Red and Green|s|Green}} ({{p|Venusaur}}), {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Blue}} ({{p|Blastoise}}), and {{v2|Yellow}} ({{p|Pikachu}}), appear with special three-frame sprites, transforming from their in-game sprites to the artwork on the Japanese box art of their respective games, including the background circle. The Japanese versions keep the circle's text, which reads "THE POCKET MONSTER TRAINER".

* The LeafGreen [[Pokédex]] entries are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}} as well as the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This makes it the first time the original Red and Green entries have been translated into English.
* {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|The truck}}, long rumored to have a [[Poké Ball]] containing {{p|Mew}} under it, appears again as scenery near the [[S.S. Anne]]. This time around however, as an easter egg, there is a {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} hidden on the dock, which normally cannot be obtained until much later in the game.
* FireRed and LeafGreen are the only pair of remakes that uses the same Pokédex listing as the original games for the regional Pokédex.
* Along with the original [[Generation I]] games, these are the only core series games that do not involve a [[legendary Pokémon]] in their main plot. Incidentally, they are also the last [[core series]] Pokémon games to feature a non-legendary Pokémon on the cover.
* If a FireRed or LeafGreen cart is present in Slot 2 of the [[Nintendo DS]], the migration option in the [[main menu]] of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version names. This typo was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] by removing the space.
* In the end credits, the [[game mascot]]s of the four [[Generation I]] games, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}}, appear with special 3-frame sprites, transforming from their in-game sprites to the pose they took on the Japanese boxart of their respective games. In the Japanese versions, they are inside a circle with the text ''THE POCKET MONSTER TRAINER'', which is colored to match the Pokémon's type. In international versions this is replaced by a Poké Ball symbol, also colored based on the Pokémon's type.

* Any {{pkmn|category}} names with more than one word are [[List of glitches in Generation III#Pokédex category oversight|cut off]] in early English releases of the games, causing for example Pokémon like {{p|Pidgey}} to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon." [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the categories the same as they appear in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a mistake in the Pokédex where a blank space is misread for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in the later Player's Choice releases of the game. Alongside the missing word "Presents" in the game's opening, this is the easiest way to tell whether a particular game is a v1.0 or v1.1 release.
