Missing Pokémon:
* Gen 2 and Beyond: FireRed is a Gen 3 game, meaning it doesn't have access to Pokemon introduced in later generations. So, you won't find any of the Gen 2 Pokemon (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, etc.) or any from later gens.
* Region Exclusives: Some Pokemon are exclusive to specific regions, like Kanto or Johto. FireRed only features Kanto, so you'll miss out on those Johto exclusives.
Finding Rare Pokémon in FireRed:
1. Trade Evolution: Some Pokemon evolve through trading, like Graveler into Golem. You'll need to find someone willing to trade with you or use a trading tool.
2. Breedables: Many rare Pokemon are obtainable through breeding. You can find the breeding items you need in the game or acquire them via trade.
3. Game Shark/Action Replay: These devices can allow you to cheat and spawn rare Pokemon. However, it's important to note that using these tools can potentially damage your save file or make the game less fun.
4. Random Encounters: While rare, some Pokémon like Lapras, Snorlax, and Chansey can be found in the wild through random encounters. This requires patience and some luck.
5. Trading: The most reliable way to acquire most rare Pokemon is through trading with other players.
