I Think this gamboy game is definetly worth your money because of the interaction between two gamboys.

Wonderful!

For the person who said, "Whoever still likes Pokemon is living in the past", get a life. Seriously, just because Pokemon has died down does not mean that you should stop liking it just because it's unpopular. It's perfectly ok to like Pokemon and if you think anyone who likes it is stupid then you ARE stupid. Don't judge people based on what they like; that's what they like and it's none of your business.

Uhh . . . yeah. Well, anyway, this game is a classic. I still like it even after palying Ruby and Sapphire. Sometimes it's good to get back to the originals. Red and Blue are both pretty much the same but I personally like Red just because it has better Pokemon IMO (Growlithe yeeaaaahhhhh!) But I like Blue too. They're both fun and have their share of glitches (yay Missingno.! If for some reason you don't know what Missingno. is then check out "Pokemon glitches" and you'll get a website that talks about pretty much any Pokemon glitch you can imagine), and even though the graphics are bad the heart of the game is there. There is one major fault, though: there isn't much to do after you catch Mewtwo. The later games hav improved this greatly, so if you're one of those people who likes to keep a game forever I would suggest Pokemon Emeral.

This game's replay value is great as well; you can play three different games and get three diferent starters and three different Eevee evolutions. Well there is another major flaw and that is that you can only have one game going at the same time. This is not improved even in the later games and I do not know why.

It's okay to like or dislike this game. It's just not ok to bash on people who feel differently than you do. We're all different and some people just have to learn to accept that.

Best of Gameboy

It has always been a habit for children to exhibit and swap their card/sticker/toy collections with their friends in school. The premise of Pokemon -to collect and train pokemon - was the perfect fertile growing field to exploit this fascination children had with collecting things. The first exploit was the TV show, where the characters in the videogame were rendered onto the TV screen. When that became popular enough, the creators rendered the full 150 Pokemon into thousands of different incarnations. Pokemon T-shirts, teddybears, actionfigures, trading cards, stickers, watches etc were all created under the slogan: 'you've gotta catch 'em all'... Parents had a rotten time, that's for sure. And it was this capitalistic, persistent, and continuous explotation of the pokemon name which made the name synonymous with childrens toys. The pokemon legacy was ruined by this exploitation, and the videgame was largely discredited as a childrens fad. But before the TV show, the toys, the trading cards, etc..the game stood pure and unspoilt by the impending pokemon-craze which was about to accompany it. Everybody loved the game. Pokemon was revered.

In the game you play as Ash, whose one single ambition is to become the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world. To do so you must collect pokemon and train them in battle. To catch Pokemon you need to engage in combat with wild Pokemon (wild animals). You choose which of your Pokemon is suitable for the fight and deminish the wild pokemon's strengh little by little untill it becomes weak enough to be captured. Once caught, the wild pokemon will become loyal and obedient. There's no 'set in stone' rule when it comes to catching Pokemon, if you fancy the look of a Pokemon, then you capture it. Wild Pokemon are scattered throughout the game and you can catch them at any time.

To complete the game, you must collect all eight gym badges. Gym badges are given to those who defeat gym owners. Gym owners are professional Pokemon trainers who are hardened by battle experience, and thus, much harder to defeat than normal Pokemon trainers. It takes a long time to collect the badges, because the gyms are sporodically spread throughout the game. Between collecting badges and training Pokemon, you will encounter many RPG elements in the game, puzzles, dungeons, items, etc... The game is huge and difficult and can take over 25 hours to complete. It certainly exceeds the expectations of a game merely designed to kill time on a long coach trip, which was what the GB was created for in the first place. Taking into account that the GB is a very primitive console, the kind of experience Pokemon offers exceeds all prior benchmarks in handheld gaming. It's an edifying experience.

Not only is it the best GB game, it is one of the best overall games ever.

The Classics will always be the best

This was my first EVER gameboy game. I turned it on on one day and couldn't put it down for hours and hours. Some people think that it is childish and "dumb," but I can assure you that it is a great game that is fun to play. I don't have e-mail, which is why I am using the kid review form, but I am really 17. I can reccomend this game to anyone. Even my 81-year-old grandmother loved it. If you don't think that you can play games like this, you are wrong. This is one of the best games that I have ever played. I have tried the gold version and the Ruby and all of those other games, but I always go back to the original. The first 150 pokemon are the absolute best.

A game that doesn`t have all the Pokemon...

This game really has a whole lot of Pokemon, but the Crystal version I have has more Pokemon. Compared to the Red, Blue and Yellow Versions to the Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions, Red, Blue and Yellow versions, it has 150 pokemon while the Gold, Silver, and Crystal version has 250 pokemon. The Ruby and Sapphire Versions have 200 pokemon. So the Gold, Silver, and Crystal has more than Red, Blue, Yellow, Ruby, and Sapphire, even though Ruby and Sapphire replaced old pokemon and removed them for new pokemon.

Best Gameboy Game ever!

Pokemon Red: A Must-Have for Pokemon Stadium and Your GB(A)

Pokemon Stadium is the most addictive Game Boy game I've ever seen. You can catch Pokemon, care for them by taking them to the Pokemon Center, Explore the wild and catch pokemon, participate in Gym matches to get badges, and LOTS more!

Pros:
- Compatible with the Nintendo 64 game, Pokemon Stadium (Nintendo 64 TRANSFER PAK REQUIRED (sold seperately)! )
- Explore the world of Pokemon
- Participate in Battles to strenghten your Pokemon
- VERY addictive
- GREAT graphics (for its time, of course)

Cons:
- If you HATE Pokemon, I don't recommend this game to you
- Doesn't contain ALL 151 Pokemon (You need Pokemon Blue (SOLD SEPERATELY!)+ this game to get all 151 Pokemon)

Overall:

If you like pokemon, want an addictive video game for your Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and/or Game Boy Advance SP, or just looking for an adventure game GET THIS GAME TODAY!

Fun for a while

I have to be honest and say that I am beginning to loathe the pokemon fad emensely. Nothing will make me happier than when that little yellow rat goes the way of pogs. However my hate of all things pokemon was not always so. I actually bought this game around a month before the huge pokemon phenomena really picked up, so at that time i was not sick of it (I actually hadn't really heard that much about it).When i first played the game it was fun, the idea of inslaving little cute beasties, and then making them pit-fight was very appealing. I played pokemon a lot for the next few weeks and developed quite a neck strain in doing so. However as I began to get further into the "plot" and discovered that there was none. Basicly the plot revolves around going from town to town earning badges and getting items, and fighting the absurd antagonists known as team rocket. Also to cramp the game was the huge repetiveness. I really disliked that there were very few enemy trainer sprites and it seemed like you were always fighting the same type of stuff. So as soon as I got to the sixth badge my intrest just petered out and I stopped playing. By that time i ahd begun to turn sour to the whole pokemon thing anyway. I suppose that the reason this is so popular among newbie RPGers is that it requirers little skill, and falls back on repetiveness.

Wicked!

It's really cool, to see how the Pokemons get stronger, but it can be tough! The red edition is 1/400 better than the blue one :-). But they just are cool. I didn't think that you could do something so good with a little GamBoy!

Great Game

I believe that Pokemon Red is an extremely interesting stragedy game that requires alot of thought to play as well as a fertile imagination. Complex stragedies are the key to gain all eight badges and beating the powerful Elite Four.
