Summary: The idea of Pokemon was a good one. An unprecedented mix of role-playing and adventure. You could capture up to 151 pokemon, each with its own fighting capabilities. As the game progressed you would fight against better opponents, who would test your skill. Another unique idea was thrown into the mix. You could't capture all the pokemon with just one version. You had to trade via a link-cable. Thus Nintendo launched the most popular series ever. A very intriguing game indeed.
Summary: Have you ever endured one of those days where rain would just pour and you’re forced to stay indoors? Then there’s that “I’m bored” phase where you run around antsy-like looking for a solution to your dilemma. Well, Pokemon Red is the game to own when trying to cope with these types of endless days. And believe me, it helped me out and soon enough the sun was bursting through the clouds before I can say, “I choose you Pikachu!”
I knew that Pokemon Blue existed but didn’t realize a red version also came about. In actuality, my first experience with Pokemon derived from the blue version and after finishing that game, I played Pokemon Red hoping that it would somehow deliver a whole new experience. After hours of playing, Red was nothing more than a clone only with a few minor exceptions; I should’ve seen that coming. Much like its counterpart, Pokemon Red is simple to play yet difficult to master. The graphics are acceptable deriving from the type of quality that only Game Boy exhibits so don’t expect anything beyond sublime. The music is not that bad either and it’s actually quite catchy. Regardless of what version you pick, the experience is the same.
Pokemon Red for Game Boy is an experience like no other. Forget petty insults from bias individuals and try this game out before judging it. It’s not entirely RPG based, but a mix of adventure, puzzles, and a bit of action. So score one for diversity, and if you enjoy the concepts of catching and training critters and having them battle against other creatures then this game will satisfy your need for that. I personally enjoyed this game and fully took advantage of the extra options and secret inserts available. Great job Nintendo.
Summary: Pokemon Red and Blue versions are truly the games that have revived the spirit of the popular and portable Game Boy System. Released on September 28th, 1998, in North America, the unique game took the continent by surprise with its well-developed storyline and fun-filled adventures in the RPG.
If you've watched the Pokemon television show, you would recognize that the RPG follows the show's general storyline. To make this short, the goal of Pokemon (storyline and game) is to catch all known 150 Pokemon, train them, and battle them to become a Pokemon Master. Starting off in Pallet Town (your home town), you receive your very own starting Pokemon, which you are to raise with love and to train with determination. Using your trained Pokemon, you catch more wild Pokemon with Pokeballs, so that you may use them as well. The RPG progresses as you venture through cities, towns, caves, islands, etc.., where you will meet new faces and trainers to battle in each area. 8 of these cities have gyms; you can only participate in the well-known Pokemon League if you have won all 8 badges from these gyms. After collecting these 8 badges, you may participate in the famous Pokemon League, where you may hopefully receive the title of a skilled and talented Pokemon Master.
The storyline and gameplay are excellent but it lacks in the graphics and sound ONLY because it is limited to producing great graphics and sound since the game is played on a very old videogame console.
Summary: This is a sweet game! You walk around catching Poke'mon and battling rivals and random trainers. Although I am getting a little too old to be playing poke'mon, I still play it around in my house. It's a real cool game as there is lots of cheats and hidde places. To beat the game you have to:
#1-Beat The Elite Four #2-Catch Mewtwo #3-Catch all 151 Poke'mon
All that would take about 300 hours seriously. It's a long game!!
Summary: This is just one horrible game for gameboy. No. 1, it is Pokemon, and Pokemon has taken over the world by storm, effecting little kids. I hardly enjoyed this game and I forced myself to return this game to the place were I purchased it. Warning, do not get this game. It is boring, and it sucks totally. All you do is capture stupid little non-character animals and raise them, battle other guys and thats it? Boring!
