this game is awesome! buy it if you want to have hours of fun. also you can play it over and over again and it doesent get old just choose a different starter pokemon and different pokemon along the way. here is the synopsis of the game!
Become the greatest Pokémon trainer in the world! Start your Pokémon Game Boy adventure by choosing a tame Pokémon at the home of the great Pokémon master Professor Oak. Then start your journey.
Your mission: Collect all 150 Pokémon, just like Ash, using your own Pokémon to capture others. Along the way, several skilled trainers, such as Gary, and many minor trainers will challenge you to Pokémon duels. You can't back down, so be ready for anything!
Remember, Pokémon are not ordinary creatures. To collect all 150, you'll need to train captured Pokémon so they evolve. For instance, a captured Caterpie will evolve into a Metapod, which will then turn into a Butterfree. Each transformation adds more power to the Pokémon-giving you more power to defeat and capture other Pokémon.
The Red & Blue versions of the game each carry their own variety of Pokémon to defeat, collect, and train. To get all 150, trade Pokémon with your friends using the Game Link Cable, which allows the transfer of Pokémon between Game Paks.

Pokemon is the best the best Game Boy game ever! When I heard about Pokemon I thougth it was going to be another cheap thing from Nintendo,but I started to see the animated cartoon Pokemon on UPN (Now WB) and I loved it I think it is one of best games ever.It was hard,you had to think, exiting and most it was fun capturing all the Pokemon,but some cases you had get the Pokemon from a different color version only has 11 different Pokemon.It took about three times to start all over because I had messtup buy fainting a pokemon that only comes out onece in the whole game.Another time I messtup by geeting a tought Pokemon to raise at the begining of the game(Charmander).This is one Nintendos best next to Zelda and Mario.
pokemon is a pretty fun game to play

pokemon is fun when you begin but soon it gets to easy and it's not that fun. But I have to admit pokemon is a good game.
The game that started it all!

Many consider this series to be nothing but kiddy games, and at first glance they'd be right. However, once you start playing this game you will start to realize that it will soon be your secret alternative life. I'm serious, once you start this game, you can't stop until you've beaten it at least four times over. Ya its got bad graphics but its a Gameboy game, who cares? This has to be the most addicting game I've ever played and is surprisingly deep at times, although never as deep as Final Fantasy or anything. Definitely pick this game up if you already haven't.
Another Pokemon Review by me..

This game was a good start for the Pokemon franchise but to strictly say. Very straight forward game and not very difficult. In my opinon this is the kinda game you would play in your free time or for old times sake. The controls are identical to Blue and Yellow and gameplay is simple.
Can't beat the original

For us old pokemon fans, we fell in love with red and blue. I personally was a charzard fan in third grade, and this happened to be my first rpg. Everyone seemed to have some version of pokemon. You could even trade them with other people, providing you had the correct linking device. After pokemon fell out of fashion, no one seemed to want those really new games (except for the new third graders of course). The original set of pokemon were the greatest, even the strange ones like jynx. I hated the pokemon show after about a year of watching it everyday and owning all the pokemon merchandise. But I still buy the games and play them, because you can't beat the game play. It's quite simply amazing.
I'm sad to say my red version was stolen from me a few years ago, but I hope to purchase it once again at a used video game store.
Don't be expecting good graphics. This game has terrible graphics but it's still a wonderful game. Many old rpgs are :]
Nostalgia overload!

Man, this brings back memories! Even though the remakes, Fire Red and Leaf Green are better graphically speaking, you still can't go past where it all began. The red-tinted monochrome screen, the brief flashes of green, the fact that it took me over an hour to find a Pikachu!!! If your a fan, you should own this. If not, try it. Join us!
