Here is the number one sleeping pill in the world. If you have trouble sleeping play this game (not that it should be considered a game, games are supposed to be fun). It was boring boring boring. The graphics were horrible the plot was stupid. You can't catch them all unless you waste money on buying blue, yellow, and red. They have now come out with gold, silver, and cyrstal so you can try to catch more creatures. The game was so easy that I was able to beat it even though I am a novice. The piont is to beat the tar out of stupid nonexistent monsters to train and battle them so you can become number one so other trainers can try and beat up your pokemon. I think this game is a waste and anyone who buys it is going to ultimatly come to the same conclusion as I have. Don't waste your money as the craze will die down soon.
NOT WORTH IT!

My 8-year-old's favorite game series. And if you're worried about video game time taking away from reading time, make sure you get your kid(s) into roleplaying games. That way, they get both... and though Pokemon won't solve it all... you'll never have to nag them to go play Pokemon!
Good, but not the best games out with which to start.

Describing Pokémon's been done to death. I'll compare the different Pokémon games and series.
Having only owned Red and not Blue, I can't fairly compare them. However, the only difference is the Pokémon you can obtain, and in that both seem equal. Comparing Red/Blue is different. Yellow tries so hard to match up with the anime, yet comes up sickeningly short. It adds a poor plot where there should be no plot, at the expense of gameplay. Red/Blue are superior.
The puzzles and dungeons of the chromatics (Red/Blue/Yellow) are difficult, far more so than those of the metallics (Gold/Silver/Crystal) and the gems (Ruby/Sapphire). However, the final bosses are lacking compared to the Gems'. The Gems also have some decent plot. I would say that the gems and chromatics are equal, and the metallics are lacking. However, only buy the chromatics (which are incompatible with the gems) if you've exhausted the gems. Still, it's a better choice than the metallics.

I like the game because the Pokemon characters are cute looking. I like to see the name I have chosen for the cartoon to appear on the small screen. It gives me a sense of power.
Boring:(

This game was made to put insomniacs to sleep.The graphics are horrible, you can't "catch 'em all" unless you want to spend lots of $$ getting the blue and yellow, as well as red. And now that they've come out with gold, silver, and crystal, you have at least a hundred more to catch. This game is too easy, even for a beginner like me, unless you count catching the "rare" pokemon. Basically, all you are doing the whole game is beating the brains out of nonexistant creatures for the purpose of training and battling them against other trainers. Then, once you have beaten those trainers, you must battle the "elite four" for the sole purpose of being #1.
Its all hype

Its not nearly as good as I thought it would be. It is an easy game with tons of tedious repitition. It was fun for the first hour, you spend most of your time in tedious battles. It has a crumby storyline, and isnt nearly as good as Zelda 64. This game shouldnt be considered an RPG, because its the worst one I've played.

I got this gme for Christmas, and after awhile, I couldn't put it down! After about 56 hours, I had beaten Mewtwo. I am trying to get a cheap Gameshark so I can train and "catch 'em all!"
this is too addictive!

when i first got this game, i was addicted to it. but that was about a year ago. after playing with it for about a year i started to realize what a bad game it was. it is slow, and there is no excitement.
