I love this game! Play as Ash on the origional quest to become Pokemon Master. If you plan on getting Yellow, DON'T DO IT! IT WILL BE A BIG WASTE OF MONEY! Instead, get this game, you'll be glad you did.

The Definitive Handheld Experience

This game came out some time ago, but this is my review. I have played many handheld games since this treasure. I have realized none have been as much fun as this game. It is truly the best portable game ever.

The story, now mediocre at best, was incredible for a little kid. Not to say an adult would not enjoy it. A boy or girl sets off on an adventure to capture and train 151 creatures called Pokemon. The Pokemon are all great and varied up enough to keep them interesting. There are all different skills and abilities they could learn throughout. Your ultimate goal is to become experienced enough to beat the Elite Four. The Elite Four is the best of the best in the world of Pokemon.

The graphics were nice, but nothing was really outstanding on the Game Boy Color. I only played around twenty GBC games so my knowledge is limited. Animations are not amazing. They get the job done. The Blue version had a slightly greenish-blue tint to everything. While the Red version had a red tint. This makes a very big difference depending on which one you started playing. I started on Blue and attempted to play the Red version, which was nearly impossible. My eyes could not adjust. It is the only graphical difference between the two.

Not all Pokemon were available in this one. You had to get both versions if you wanted all the Pokemon.

The music is annoying I usually played it with the sound off. I did that with all GBC games, though.

The best part about this game is the glitches. Normally these things would not be in a game. They add so much. You can duplicate items, get a Pokemon that was only available in the Japanese version, and create the ultimate Pokemon team. The glitches add so much value and most importantly fun to the game once beaten.

This is the game I compare all portable games against. This game was followed by the Yellow version. Which was basically the same with minor changes and no glitches. The reason for this review is simple. I want people to enjoy this classic game. You don't have to get a PSP or DS, if you want to experience a great game.

Funny and nice until you finish it.

I own the Spanish version of this. It's just the same, but with booklet and texts in spanish, this is a very nice game and the first that I've got.(April '99) This game is funny and good, until you finish it, because when you finish it you just get the Pokemons that are not available and you finish it. Later? Restart it.

When i was lets say 6 i started playing the game.

I beat the game.

I made a new file and beat the game again (not to mention i didnt need any help and i couldnt read).

Then i bought blue and beat it.

Then when yellow came out i beat it about 10 times....at least 1k hours of use

if ur wondering what 1k means it means 1000.

more repetitive and boring than the ave RPG

I like Pokemon stuff like the movie,and card game(which by the way is excellant).But the game itself is not that great.The battles get very repetitive compared to other RPGs and the different Pokemon don't really have any unique abilities(unlike the FF series),For instance all the electric ones have basically the exact moves so even though theres 151 pokemon,the only significant differance is the appearance.I'd rather have 10 unique characters than 151 that are essentially the same.After I got about55 pokemon I lost interest in the game because there is not enough variety in the characters or game play.Also its anoying how nintendo made all the differant versions and the link cable nessisary to catch em all.I've completed at least 15 RPGs and I must say this is the most monotenous one.The battles are not challenging and require minimal strategy.The game does have some charm however(Pikachu is so cute!(spare me!))and the idea for the game is very sound but the sub-par execution and overall bland gameplay turned me off. Anyway,its an ok game by gameboy standards but if you're looking for RPGs look to other games and other systems like Playstation and PC.

It is a good game for long road trips, but it takes FOREVER to finish a game, you have to be very smart to figure half the stuff out! I recomend this game for teens and adults, not young children!

Fun

Even though i havn't played with this game very much because its my sisters i love it. I love the battles and getting experiance. If you are new to a game boy i suggest getting this one because the controls are very easy to use.

The Bomb! (::)

The game is the bomb! It is a lot of fun and you feel a sense of accopmlishment when you get a pokemon to a really high level and it's final form, or when you get a secret and beat the game. It is time consuming, but worth it. Especially when you fight another person through the cable link and you practically murder him/her! It is a fun game and if on a scale, 1-10, 10 being the best, I'd give it 11!

I think pokemon blue is cool.like in the red vertion you get to choose between three starting pokemon: bulbasaur, squirtle, and charmander[I usally pick charmander].I think pokemon blue is better then pokemon red because you can get all my favorite pokemon [pikachu, meowth, psyduck, charizard, ratata, butterfree, and mewtwo]. its really cool try it.

Pokemon Blue... the start of the craze. But really, blue can be better than Gold sometimes, but much better than silver!
