I got this game not to long ago and have already played 6 hours on it. It's so much fun! My two favorite parts are when the Pokemon evolve and when I catch them. Especially rare ones. That's cool. I also have the Blue Version and I have at least 24 hours on it. I love these games.

If you like pokemon this is for you!

This game is great if you like pokemon but if you don't I think you shouldn't get it. The game has tons of battles,Capturing pokemon,and badges.It gets pretty boring if you don't really enjoy it! In the game you have along journey like the show. IF you hate the show than don't get it. If your getting it good luck on your journey!

Pokemon Red was a great game. You are Ash trying to become the worlds greatest trainer. Traveling to many towns and cities you will fight gym leaders to collect badges. After collecting all 8 badges you can fight the elite 4 and become a pokemon master. I never was interested in any of the other pokemon things but i played the game once and i was hooked. Mike Breman also has a good review of PKMN silver. I any one knows his email email me at evets31@hotmail.com

I loved this game!!! Well, maybe in third grade.

This game is a classic, and really good considering it was released in 1995. I think this game revolutinized RPGs for Gameboy, but it's not very interisting after the first time you beat it. You start as Ash in a race to defeat your rival and become the greatest Pokemon master of all time. All in all,I think this game is great, espically for kids still in grade-school.

A good game for younger kids

What the gamez about: You are Ash Ketchum and you are training to become a pokemon master. Luckily, you can change your name at the beginning. You also choose your Rival's Name, which in the show is Gary. When you start out, you have a choice of 3 pokemon. One is fire type, one is water and one is grass. After you choose your pokemon, your rival will choose a pokemon that is strong against your element. Right after you choose you will have to battle your rival. He doesn't have an elemental advantage yet, because his pokemon know no elemental attacks. Through the game you will encounter your rival and have battles. Each time you meet him, he will have more and better pokemon.
But the game isn't only about your rivalry. In fact, this is only a little thing to make the game more exciting.
After you choose your pokemon, you will travel through towns, caves, dungeons, fields, forests, capturing pokemon and battling trainers. The more battles you have the stronger your pokemon will become.
At most major towns, there will be a pokemon gym. There will be a gym leader that you have to battle. If you defeat the gym leader, you will get a pokemon badge and a strong TM. TM's are attacks that you can teach your pokemon.
Also, there are pokemon center's and Markets. You can heal your pokemon in pokemon centers, and you can buy item's that you will need on your adventure at Markets.
When you have defeated all the gym leaders and you feel that you are strong enough, you can battle the Elite Four. If you defeat them, you will battle the current Champion. Finally, if you beat him, the credits will role and you'll think you beat the game. Wait for the credits to finish, turn of the gameboy. When you turn it back on, you'll be back at Pallet Town. If you have never seen the show or heard anything about this game, you may be stuck. Go to Cerulean City, and find your way to the Unknown Dungeons. Hint (you will have to surf to get to them). If you have defeated the Elite Four, the man standing there should be gone. You'll find yourself in a Dungeon that holds very high level pokemon. If you search through the dungeon long enough, you'll find something very important. I don't want to give anything away though :).
Over all, this game will keep a younger kid playing it for a long time, especially with the goal to catch all 151 pokemon. You can't catch them all in just Pokemon Red or Blue, you'll have to trade pokemon with a friend to do it.
The graphics are pretty good for gameboy, although the battle scenes are terribly pixelated.
The music is pretty good, some tunes will stick in your head for a long time.
So now it's up to you... are ya gonna buy it?

Pokemon games are good, don't judge on TV series, that came after!

People seem to say that, after watching the TV series, they deem the games bad also. Give the games a chance! If you really want to know, the TV series came way after the games did (1999), and it never turned out right. This game is great for everybody to play, except, if you own a GBA, you should buy one of the GBA remakes (which I own), Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen. FireRed and LeafGreen contain everything Red and Blue had, with several extras. For example, FireRed and LeafGreen has GBA-quality sprites and graphics, as well as something called the Sevii Islands for when you finish the game. You get a GBA Wireless Adapter with FireRed or LeafGreen, so you can play or chat with other people who have a Wireless Adapter and FireRed or LeafGreen. You can also trade with people who have Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald after you've beaten the game and received your National PokéDex. So, bottom line, this game is excellent, but it's better and much improved on one of it's GBA counterparts (which are remakes e.x. sames roads and same region), FireRed or LeafGreen.

Really cool game!

Pokemon Red kept me busy. I'm the kind of person who likes to figure out things things so I think this is a great game. You get to figure out where you leave a town, what happened to pokemon or people and where the one very rare pokemon is. You get to go over water, fly to previous cities, use a bike or just plain walk. When your pokemon change, it's so exiting because you never know what they'll be able to do next. This game deserves 5 stars!

This is an excellent game!

Several months ago I thought that the Pokemon game and telivision series was a complete waste of time. Then, my five year old brother bought the Pokemon Red Gameboy Game. I picked the game up and immediately started to enjoy myself. You will have great fun experimenting with different types of Pokemon. I thought it was very interesting working with Pokemon of different types, such as fire, water, etc. I disagree with a previous review stating that the game will get boring. The game will only get boring if you experiment with the "Gameshark" features of the game, it will lose its fun. The game is not about having these electronic creatures as your friends, it is about showing them off to your friends, impressing them with your training ability using the link cable. In this sense you can continually replay the game using different types of Pokemon, finding out which you like best. In this sense the game never gets boring and old. It is a fabulous game.

Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow are the best Pokemon games.

Pokemon RED, BLUE, and YELLOW versions are definately better than all of the newer versions. Red is my favorite. It's really not any different than Blue and Yellow. Except on Yellow you start out with PIKACHU. This game is all about catching and fighting using your little monsters. Proffessor Oak gives you the choice between Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. Charmander is my favorite. He is also the strongest. Especially after he evolves into Charizard( who is so powerful that even water type Pokemon can barely stop him). Squirtle is probably the weakest of the three. It's final form Blastoise is pretty strong for a water type however. Bulbasaur is the most popular.
Most people pick him because of his final form Venasaur( who could get knocked out with one attack of Charizard's Fire Spin attack). I picked Charmander and he is level one hundred. Of course he is Charizard now. I have all three legendary birds. Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno. The best team is Charizard, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, Mewtwo, and Gyarados. I have all of thes Pokemon level one hundred. Here's a little secret to get unlimited Rare candy and Master Balls. Put the item you want to copy in the sixth item spot then talk to the guy in Viridian city who says Ah I had my coffee and I feel great then watch him catch Weedle or whatever else it is then fly to Fushia city surf down to the Seafoam islands and surf up and down the side where the land touches the water. When MISSINGNO appears run away and you will have unlimited Rare candies or Master balls. Well I hope my review was helpful.
