The game is highly repetitive and is an imitation of Gameboy Zelda. It is not worth the time to play and the money wasted on batteries.
A world captivated by pokemon

Our world is full of people who are thouroghly convinced that by chucking little plastic balls at mutated animals you can gain a new friend. Have mercy on my innocent soul. Save your money, you could use it if you've blown it all on the other products. No one's really going to care in ten years if become a pokemon master or not. Save your money and your time. Not that you're actually regarding this review. Sigh.
The Biggest Market Scam EVER!!!

This game will destroy your life! When I first got it I'd play it hours straight and accomplish absolutly NOTHING! I played it forever until I suddenly realized "This game is horrible".
Don't waste your life, DON'T BUY POKEMON!!!!!

Here is the number one sleeping pill in the world. If you have trouble sleeping play this game (not that it should be considered a game, games are supposed to be fun). It was boring boring boring. The graphics were horrible the plot was stupid. You can't catch them all unless you waste money on buying blue, yellow, and red. They have now come out with gold, silver, and cyrstal so you can try to catch more creatures. The game was so easy that I was able to beat it even though I am a novice. The piont is to beat the tar out of stupid nonexistent monsters to train and battle them so you can become number one so other trainers can try and beat up your pokemon. I think this game is a waste and anyone who buys it is going to ultimatly come to the same conclusion as I have. Don't waste your money as the craze will die down soon.
A good game- if you still like pokemon.

I'll admit, probobly 2 years ago I'd be giving this game 5 stars because it was fun. It was the first gameboy game I got, it was challenging(at first), and I always had fun. I used to be a hordcore fan of Poke'mon. But lets face the facts, THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO. People who like Poke'mon today are living in the past. I do not like Poke'mon anymore. As a matter of fact I recently sold this game and all the other Poke'mon stuff I had like cards and other games. Poke'mon was once the hottest thing around. But after they made that movie, Poke'mon went down. This game is challenging, it took me two and a half months to beat it then slowly it started to get boring. So if you like Poke'mon get it but if you want to live in today's world don't buy it.
Not fun anymore...

I'd have to agree with another reviwer here that a couple years ago, Poke'mon was one of the BIGGEST games/toys of all time to ever hit the market. Sadly, alot of people just aren't into it anymore. It's all just the same really. "OH LOOK, I CAUGHT A PIKACHU!" Well whoopty-doo! Back in the day I was a hardcore fan of the Poke craze myself, but it just started getting old and the first Poke'mon movie made REALLY killed the franchise. Final Fantasy will ALWAYS be #1!!!!
NOT WORTH IT!

This game was made to put insomniacs to sleep.The graphics are horrible, you can't "catch 'em all" unless you want to spend lots of $$ getting the blue and yellow, as well as red. And now that they've come out with gold, silver, and crystal, you have at least a hundred more to catch. This game is too easy, even for a beginner like me, unless you count catching the "rare" pokemon. Basically, all you are doing the whole game is beating the brains out of nonexistant creatures for the purpose of training and battling them against other trainers. Then, once you have beaten those trainers, you must battle the "elite four" for the sole purpose of being #1.
Boring
