Pokémon Fire Red 3 in 1 is basically the classic Fire Red experience but with a twist—you get three different game modes packed into one cartridge. It’s still the same Kanto adventure you remember, but now with some extra challenges or variations depending on which mode you pick. I started with the default and immediately got that nostalgic hit of Pallet Town, choosing between the usual starters (Bulbasaur forever, fight me).

The other modes mix things up—maybe different Pokémon spawns, tweaked difficulty, or altered story bits. Nothing crazy, but enough to make a replay feel a little fresher. The graphics and music are pure GBA-era charm, and yeah, it’s still weirdly satisfying to grind levels in Viridian Forest while avoiding those Zubats. If you’ve played Fire Red before, this version gives you a reason to dive back in without feeling like a total repeat.
