April 01, 2004 - Nintendo has announced that the company will release Pokemon: Leaf Green and Pokemon: Fire Red in the US this September. These two games are remakes of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue released on the original black-and-white Game Boy system nearly a half decade ago.

More than 2 million copies of Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green have been sold in Japan since their launch in January. Like the Japanese version, the US edition will come packaged with a Wireless Adapter, giving players the ability to trade and battle Pokemon as well as chat with other local trainers without the need for a link cable.

This announcement also confirms that Pokemon: Leaf Green will not have a name change to match the release of Pokemon Blue in the states. Clever Pokemaniacs will recall that Nintendo released the Japanese version of Green as Blue in the US.

The games, as well as the Wireless Adapter, will be on demonstration at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in May.

Awesome, wireless adapter! Trade and chat with local Pokémon trainers!
