A Great Game

When I first picked up my Pokemon Red and started playing, I did not understand much about what I was doing. That quickly changed. Soon, I was addicted to the game and couldn't stop playing! The Pokemon Packs(Red and Blue)gave me the most fun on my GameBoy ever!

Heartening

Beyond and above all the hype surrounding the 'Pokemon' phenomenon, the fact remains that the game at the centre of it all is extremely good fun. Think of the 'Final Fantasy' games, but without the boring plot bits, and you have 'Pokemon' - an approachable RPG that seems superficially simple, but has a surprising depth of strategy behind it. From the perspective of a hard-core, long-time gamer it's heartening to know that something as popular as this does not require a monster PC with a Voodoo5 (indeed, it could easily be converted for the Commodore 64), and the never-ending, open-ended gameplay is a nice homage to 'Elite'. The necessity to buy two copies of the game to 'complete' it, and the massive marketing blitz surrounding the core product is somewhat jading, but don't let that detract from the essential purity of the original.

my kids like it !

I have no idea why I still play Pokemon from time to time. I was into it before it became popular, and I still enjoy the games (not the cards... ...) more than 2 years after the fad breathed it's last. Yes, new titles have been coming out, but no one seems to like them very much and they are not changing the game enough to make them worth buying.
Anyway, about the game. You start out as a young boy living with your mother, and set out to become the world's greatest Pokemon trainer. When you try to leave town, Professer Oak will give you a starter Pokemon (the only real difference between this one and Yellow is that in Yellow, you MUST start with Pikachu). Once you have picked one, you must battle your rival, and then you can leave. The rest is obvious...
The main reason I still like this game is that it has amazing, Zelda-esque depth to it. Many puzzles, and 15 element types of Pokemon. Certain types are stronger against others, while each type has its weaknesses, too. There are a total of 150 Pokemon to be caught. However, some only appear in the Red version and some only in Blue. You must link to the Blue version to catch all 150! (To make this easier, some people buy a Red AND Blue AND a Game Link Cable so they could complete the game on their own).
Overall, this game is surprisingly fun and amusing, and has a great depth to it which will please many RPG (role-playing game) lovers. Great game, so if you like RPGs or adventure games, get this one, if you don't already have it.

Great concept, but............

Pokemon was a great concept game that should've appealed to all ages, but really, the Pokemon culture and TV show and all that B/S completely wrecked it. Just look at some of the reviews here. Some of them include cliche stuff from the show such as the Rocket Team horse and "Go Pokemon." It's really sad to see a great concept game like this go down the tubes now with the new releases that tie into the crap pop culture stuff.

Anyway, it's a great game, but don't play it in public, hide in your room and never tell anyone.

Get It!

This game may be old but it's a pretty good game. I don't know all the new pokemon (or hardly any)so this game is great for me. The animation is not to great but hey-it's a gameboy game! It has very intresting music that gets annoying when you turn it on but i just turn it off. I say the music and the looks of people are the only bad things.

I have poke'mania

This game is the original Red version NOT the super hyped up FireRed version for the gameboy advance. Basicly your a boy named Ash Ketchem (you can give him any name you like) trying to become the world's greatest pokemon master!! In the begining you and your rival(Gary or anyname you want to give him) get to pick a pokemon for your adventure. I recommned charmander because he's a big challange compared to picking Bulbasaur or Squirtal. Once you catch all 150 pokemon you get a diploma for compleating it. I would get this game if you can find it. It may be dated and disigned for the GameBoy Pocket black and white system insted of color plus the sound and grapics are only 8 bits but that makes the game more fun in my opinion. Poke'mon Red version IS and ALWAYS will be better than the new Fire verison.

I HAVE MEW!!!!

PokeMon Red is an okay game and it is fun the first couple times you play it. After that it becomes boring and repetitive. I recommend borrowing it from a friend.
