I finally let myself get pulled into the Pokemon world. Being an Anime fan, I decided to give Pokemon a go. After speaking with a few friends that have all three versions, they recommended I get the Yellow version first. Having a GameBoy Color already, made the purchase of the Yellow version a good buy since it supports colors. Gameplay in general is fun and it kept me glued to the Gameboy for hours on end. There is a lot to do in the game which means it won't be like other games that you buy and beat the game in a few days. This is a good buy... my 2 cents.

fine game, despite general pokemon fatigue

If you can stand pokemon, then play and enjoy. Exellent replaying value, addictive. Too many repetative battles with the same type of creatures, but you can always walk away, if not in a mood to fight.

Fun even after the end...

This is a great game! As a pokefan for years, I have fallen in love with this game. Even after almost 100 hours of play and defeating the Elite Four (which actually wasn't as hard as I expected it to be) there is still plenty to do. IYou can continue fighting with new pokemon and try to collect all 151(Yes, Mew's available if you are lucky) I am VERY excited to see if anything happens when you do collect all of them! GREAT BUY!

pokemon yellow is a great game for every one. you start out in pallet town, recieve your first pokemon, pikachu, meet and battle your rival, gary, then set off. your first goal is to catch and raise pokemon so you can defeat the eight gym trainers and their pokemon. your second is to defeat the elite four, the most powerful pokemon trainers in the world!

Surprisingly fun!

I finally let my curiosity take over and ordered a copy of "Pokemon Yellow", my first ever console game. With all the marketing hype, I didn't expect too much, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! The goal of the game is to capture all Pokemon. To do this, you travel through a (huge) gameworld, exploring, collecting goodies, and catching wild Pokemon. As your Pokemon gain strength, you can fight other trainers. Your creatures gain experience with every fight. This way, they grow in level, becoming stronger and learning new moves. Some of them evolve into new creatures. There are several types of Pokemon, turning this into a very complicated version of the rock-scissors-paper game. Fire Pokemon are good against Grass Pokemon but not against Water Pokemon, etc. This is a very addictive game! It's fun to see your Pokemon grow and explore the game-world. Conclusion: great fun! Ignore the marketing machine and just enjoy it!

the same as blue or yellow

When I first played this game I was excited with pokemon fever and started playing,but as the game dragged on I started to notice its similarities to blue and yellow.First there might a few more pokemon and pikachu follows you around.After realizing that fact the game got more and more boring.I realized such a bad investmrnt I made and stopped playing it.So in short I would not reccemend this game for anyone

Unusually True Craze

Pokemon is a very popular TV series, video game, trading card game, and about everything else! I didn't expect much more than total boredom, but this game is a lot more than it looks. More than 20 different locations to explore, 50 technical machines (TMs), 5 hidden machines (HMs), and more than 150 Pokemon. You can dig, swim, fly, and even cut through trees! More than 100 people to battle, talk to, get gifts or trade with, and get hints. You can buy, recieve, and find more than 75 items, even invisible ones! You can catch over 25 wild Pokemon, but you have to trade, recieve, buy, and metamorph (evolve) some. You start out with a Pikachu that you can talk to. It can get from REALLY mad to having hearts all around its head! The fighting is really ungorey, and you can turn the animation to the battles off so you just hear 'BUMP!' There are tons of secrets in the game. You can even nickname or rename Pokemon and go to a hospital for Pokemon for free. You should buy this game, unless you want to wait until Gold and Silver come out. They have the new Pokemon up to 250. I still think that's too many.

Thoroughly enjoyable video game!

I am a middle-aged mother who bought this game for my 5 year old son for Christmas. However, upon plugging it in, I found that unless a child is a pretty good reader already, this game would be difficult for them to play. I was going to put it aside for him, but thought I'd give it a whirl myself first. It hooked me completely! I love it. It's given me a great education into the Pokemon phenomenum, which is good since my son likes Pokemon. It's non-violent. And, although challenging, not too difficult or frustrating - a plus for both kids and adults alike. This is the first video game that I have played to the end. I highly recommend it for anyone with children who are already competent readers. For those with younger children, buy it but wait until they can read to let them play it. I'll be waiting impatiently for Nintendo to release the Gold and Silver gameboy cartridges here in the states.

PokéMon Yellow-

What an interesting variation! In PokéMon yellow you have the option of starting the game with the lovable Pikachu. Also, there are many small variations in the game which make it easier for the younger player. As well as that, you will face Jessie and James at regular intervals in the game. Besides these variations PokéMon yellow is the exact same game as PokéMon red or blue. Don't buy this game if you already have either and don't buy it if you enjoy a challenge.
