Second Entry
Alright, well as I promised I am back from the pokemon tower with a review! One thing that I though was fairly repetitive but actually became kinda cool was the fact that in the Pokemon tower you had to fight trainers who had all ghosts as pokemon. In the beginning it seemed stupid and tedious. Then after a while I just used a psychic pokemon and I was doing 1 hit kills left and right. The repetitiveness kind of emphasised the fact that we were surrounded by the dead. It was kind of a cool plot device in a lot of ways. The only real variance in enemies came at the end when I had to fight Marow Wack (sp) who apparently was killed by Team Rocket and was a vengeful spirit.
Anyway I remembered the Pokemon tower being boring in the original game but I actually appreciated it in the new one. I'm in Saffron City now and I tried to fight the gym leader early and apparently I can't. I did however fight in the dojo and won a fighting pokemon (as if I didn't already have one), Hitmon Lee. I need to go inside the Silph Co. Building now and clear out Team Rocket members it seems. Then I think the Gym leader will challenge me.

Pokemon Fire Red is a remake of the original 1995 Pokemon Red game for the Gameboy. The game contains a small amount of elements thrown in from the modern games for good measure as well. While playing the game I've been trying to point out differences between the original and the new version, the most striking is the graphics.
Currently I am at Celadon City and I am about to head to the Pokemon tower. I beat the Gym Leader Erika, which proved to be easier than I expected the second time around. She actually kicked my but the first attempt I made, but the second time around I just put all of her plant pokemon to sleep and kept using Butterfree's confusion attack. The battling is pretty bland as far as gameplay goes, more of a rock paper scissors type of battle engine, but it works.
One of the great things about this game is its sense of exploration and the comical dialogue at certain points. The game does a good job of making the player feel interested in the game world. The updated graphics help Pokemon Fire Red achieve that to a slightly higher degree than it's predicessor.
Since I have the Silph Scope I'm going to Pokemon Tower to do another dungeon style busy work type of gameplay segment in order to advance the story. I'll make another log with some highlights.
