I am the sister of a boy who has caught the severe illness of Pokemon fever.Pokemon are not even on my list of things to check out.Surprisingly enough the 2 Pokemon games are great.It has enough action to keep you interested, but at the same time a lot of thinking involved to do battels, capture pokemon, earn badges, and even make some poke money.As I said before I am not very fond of pokemon, but this game is worth checking out.

Pokemon Red is cool!

I think Pokemon Red is awsome! I love how big the gameplay is! It is also cool that you can trade pokemon via cable and get with a friend and fight pokemon! It never gets boring because it's impossible to play the same way twice!

Quite addictive even if its not completely worth the hype

I bought this game primarily to find out what all the hype was about. I must admit its a pretty good game. But when it comes down to it its really nothing more than an RPG game aimed at smaller children. Instead of having your party of 4 or 5 adventurers going off to save the world you play Ash a Pokemon Trainer who uses up to 6 different Pokemon at any one point in order to save the world. In this way its just like any RPG I've ever played. The only problem I have with it as an RPG is that it seems awfully one dimensional. Maybe I haven't gotten far enough but as of right now it forces me to go each way. Maybe that makes it easier for children though since they aren't presented with as many choices. However I still found it quite addictive. I think the collecting part of it makes it interesting even though I know I will never collect all of the Pokemon. What I really want to do right now is just beat it once through, and so I've given up on collecting for now. Overall this is an excellent game and definitely worth some of the hype if for no other reason than its the first RPG successfully targeted at younger children.

A 13 year old female's thoughts on this game.

I bought my Pokèmon Red version 2 years ago when they first came out, (before all the Pokè-hype), I fell in love with the cute(and some of the not so cute) characters of Pokèmon as soon as I started to play. It really is a great game, it does teach kids little lessons, and they must have the abillity to read to play, so it's not just some un-educational fighting game like you may think. It uses some rather large words in fact. They do fight in the game, and they do battle it out to the end, but not to the point of bloody-ness and death. But over all, it is one of the better video games out there, with lesson teaching, a must of reading skills, and EXTREMILY little violence. Pokèmon Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Silver all have the same good quallities.

Red and Blue are easy to master, but it contains errors.

This type of RPG was easy to master, because at the start of the game, I chose Bulbasaur for this type of match. I used him in the first 2 stages of the game, but sometimes the rest of the game. Whenever you use a fire-type attack on an ice/water type, it will either say "It's super effective" or "It's not very effective" Otherwise, this game's a blast to play, with 150 different pokemon characters to choose from. Go buy them both. You'll need them to link up to Gold/Silver.

Great game needs and has improved

This game is great! The problem is it needs more adventure. Sure it has the intese moments when you first start. I have had it not even a year and have beaten it 16 times! I am so glad that Nintendo has come out with new versions. If you are first starting this is good to start out with then get into gold, silver, crystal, ruby, and saphire versions. Those are not in order. Please do not rely me me only even though you probably wouldn't dream of it. I myself have the red version and that only.

One of the better roleplaying games for Game Boy. Great for long car rides or plane rides.

Buy this game! I repeat; BUY THIS GAME! It is sooooo much fun! Your Ash Ketchum, a 10 year old boy who dreams of becomming the greatest Pokemon Master of all time! And to do this, you have to collect pocket monsters, or, Pokemon! Then you battle them with gym leaders to get badges! This game, unlike others, has some educational value...you have to know how to read to understand the plot. So this isn't a game for anyone under 5 or 6. This game is a lot of fun and I strongly sugest you buy it!

The single most addictive game for any age since Tetris

I used to put Pokemon in the same catagory as other virtual pets. Ten I played it for the first time and haven't put it down since. The game is addictive. No matter what your age, it's thrilling when you catch your first pokemon. I found myself beaming all day when I got some of the tougher ones. Whether you're ten or thirty this game is great.

I'ts great!!!!
