This is a GREAT game! It is easy enough for a 5 year-old but challenging enough for a 20-year old. The only bad thing about this game is that is not in color. And if you like this game, you'll proabably like pokemon silver and gold also.
This is a verry addictive & challenging game!

I think that this game is very challenging. There are times when you get stuck and have no clue what to do. This game is also verry addictive, and parents, if you get this game for your children, you are probably going to end up seeing Pokemon cards and toys all over the place(if you don't already). So, if you are looking for a challenging, addictive and fun game, this is the one. I wouldn't put anything in front of it.
This game is awesome

Yep, the game that started it all. You've probably played it before. It's great fun if you don't care about graphics, but I am docking one star off because of the MissingNO glitch. You can learn about it at www.dazzled.com/trsrockin
Glitches are lots of fun

I've had this game for years, and it's still fun even after playing the Advanced games. Sure, the graphics are prehistoric, but the heart of the game is fun. On the suface, it doesn't look like there's much to do; after you beat the Pokemon league there really aren't any more goals besides getting all 150.
But there are all kinds of really cool glitches, like the Missingno. glitch and Glitch City. That, in my opinion, is the funnest part of the game. There's also a glitch that lets you get Mew!
That's really all there is to it. Fun game, crazy glitches, and tons of Pokemon!
This is fun,this is really fun

I think the most fun part of this game is the challenge. The object is to collect all 152 Pokemon and defeat all the gym trainers, the elite four and Gary, your rival. The most fun part of the game is the knowing YOU did something.
Pokemon is a great game for EVERYONE

If you are considering any purchase from the pokemon gameboy series, I say go for it. Many people claim that it is a kids game. But it is not at all. In fact it is one of the most complex games I have ever played (the only game I have EVER had to buy a strategy guide for). Also, for all the "pokemon is a kids game" sayers I will comment that it's not the game thats for kids. It's the merchandising (breakfast cereal, various toys, etc) The game itself is a very challenging Role Playing game in which your goal is to capture all 150+ pokemon and battle various trainers who are also trying to capture all 150 types. To capture all the pokemon you will have to journy to certain areas of the game and use various strategies to capture them. If you want that type of game--go for it. Don't let the neo-geeks out there sway your opinion (they are just those types of people who hate things because they are popular)
The changes from blue & Gold & Sliver

This game is great!!! You would think if red and blue were the same you would think gold & sliver would be the same? Blue in some places you catch other pokemon that you don't have? I know that the first version you get you don't expect what's coming toward you. You should buy this game because it's A first start and A heads up on what's coming. Some people who just started should be proud of winning their first badge because they know how the gym leaders train their pokemon now. Some pepole are even prouder to win their second badge against Misty. Misty will use a staryu at L18 and A starmie at L20. If you watch Pokemon then it will be a good heads up.
Started the craze. 4 stars.

The graphics are piss-poor but the game play and music rarely get better.
Bulbasaur is better than any other starter ever and always will be. Charmander was cute but not as cool. And Squirtle as adorable as he was was way too slow.
The madness never stopped in my house once me and my bro (22 and 16 now) got these into our grubby paws. We did next to no trading, but tons of gaming.
20 Pokemon that are in this title are:
Bulbasaur, Starmie, Vulpix, Vileplume, Articuno, Electabuzz, Ponyta, Gloom, Tangela, Lickitung, Mewtwo, Chansey, Taurus, Jynx, Oddish, Golbat, Horsea, Dragonite and Magmar.

This is one of the first two US releases of the series of games all known as Pokemon. Before release, the name was "Pocket Monsters", but the name was shortened for reasons I do not know. Two of the rarest Pokemon in existence can only be found on the original Blue and Red versions, one being Mew, whom rumors have circulated about for ages with definitive proof only surfacing in recent years. The other one, Missingno, is avoided at all costs, as it only exists because of insufficient debugging and playtesting. This pokemon, when caught, will irrepairably corrupt your cartridge, and those your gameboy interacts with as well. To risk unpopularity with blunt honesty, I wish to strongly advise against getting a used copy for this reason. These two, the rarest and the deadliest, may be playable in the potentially inevitable expansion/sequel to Smash Brothers Brawl. Missigno's visuals will almost certainly be inspired by fan input.
