IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUYING THIS, YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE

STOP NOW BEFORE IT's TOO LATE! IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUYING POKéMON, YOU ARE MAKING A HORRIBLE MISTAKE! I'll now examine some hypothtecal people who might buy this. If you are an avid Pokémon fan, especially a fan of the TV show, you would hate Pokémon Blue, because it does a horrible job of simulating and portraying the show. The battles have practically no stategy, and even the Pokémon's cries sound like distorted musical notes. Pokémon red and yellow are very similar. Now if you are specifically looking for Japanese RPGs, look elsewhere! In fact, go out and buy a Playststation right now, if you don't already own one. There are many great Playstation RPGs out there, including Final Fantasy 7 and Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. This is not only the worst Japaneese RPG ever, it is the worst RPG ever! It's probably not the worst game of all time, but it's one of them. So whoever you are, you definately won't enjoy this game. If this WOULD be your first RPG, take note that there are so many GREAT RPGs out there, especially on Playstation. Oh, and don't belive that games like final Fantasy 7 are too mature- I'm 11 and I loved them.

The saddest excuse for an RPG I've ever played

When you think of RPG, what do you think of? Knights, swords, magic, sorcery, and, ya know, a reasonable plot! Pokèmon has none of the above. The game puts you, the player, as a 10-year-old dropout who goes out into the world where "monsters" reign. And they don't even attempt to attack YOU, only your monsters, called Pokèmon, a lame American way to make it seem Japanese. Moreover, you have to be the best pokemon trainer in the world, which consists entirely of 8 cities. (like I counted!). And why can't the monsters learn more than 4 moves? Talk about short-term memory! No one pays attention to the RPG elements in the game, such as hit points and power points, their substitution for magic points. And their stats! Sorry I got a little off subject. Back to the game. Two versions was a very good way to steal unsuspecting people's money. Oops this is only Blue version review right? Ok. Anyways, this game needed an in-depth plot that develops with more twists as you go along and it needed to be about 5 times as long like any good RPG. And wheres the evil 10-ton villain taking over the world! Overall, I suggest this game not be bought, lest you fall into the hypnotic spell this game has given young people everywhere that would otherwise be innocent!

Tomboys will love this

Obviously I don't like this game.But Pokemon Yellow is cool.The dull color and horrible music make this game worse.Pokemon Red is a little better.It was cool in the begining, but now I realize it's plain old BORING.

So Bad that I have to write another review on it

How can anyone wanna buy these mindless games. Pokemon is the worst thing ever. Waste time and money on stupid games and ugly toys. Brainwashed hello??. Stay away from Pokemon and don't ever talk about it again. Pokemon makes you stupid and people who don't understand that should be locked away, far away from anything human wise. Down with pokemon for me anyway.

This game is awesome when you choose your Pokemon at the beginning but it gets boring later. It's cool fighting the trainers, but you can only fight them once (except for the Elite Four.) This game starts off as a best-seller, and drops down to an instant 0 in seconds!

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.

The Most Boring and Over-Hyped game of our time

Many people say that Pokemon is the "Best Game Ever." Well, sadly, it isn't. The basic game is to easy, and is sometimes boring, with pokemon constantly jumping out at you. Also the main point of the game is dumb, the only point is to 'Catch and Battle Pokemon.' If your a skiled gamer, the game is short, but if you are inexperienced, the game is long. Overall, if you are the kind of person that can get caught up in a stupid, dumb game like this, go ahead and buy it. But if you have any sence at all, you should steer clear of this game
