Pokemon – Red Version

The game is awesome. You get Charmander, Bulbasaur, Pikachu or Squirtle, sometimes Proffeser Roble, one of whom may choose as the first Pokémon. Now you can begin to develop and others. In this version and blue version you can connect two Game Boys together for head to head competition. Not in the Yellow version, but!

The year was 1998. I was twelve years in middle school, and Pokemon games debuted in the U.S. for the first time. A game so simple and yet at the same time: As complex. Nothing was addicted, there was nothing more fun than Pokemon. If the excitement (the real excitement today is not as strong as it was then), then you remember how to go to school in those days. Suddenly everyone had a Game Boy. Suddenly, even those who normally do not play not even know what the hell was a Game Boy, I had it. And I like going to his friends, and I would like to trade Pokemon, they laugh among themselves about who is better when he fought the World Champion. You have to talk about who was the better starter. Then, have learned to get the interference to all your Pokemon to 100 rare candies by duplicating the layer. You caught Missingno and M block and began Safari Zone Pokémon through the use of what are in fact one of the margins most popular video game in history. And of course we went to see them all, and had probably get a friend to its competitors and had to grab them all before him. If you remember all that you are a real fan of Pokemon. This is not a myth, made his debut in this game, sold zillions of copies and started a trend that – while not as strong there – today. This was one of the heights of playing time.

Red and Blue versions, in the United States release in 1998 have seen, but the game became a reality in 1995. Before the TV show to come. When the television series took off in America, the Games came in the next, and as I said, it sold more copies in the latest edition of Harry Potter. I’m not kidding.

Red and Blue began almost everything you see today in today’s program. The game begins with you naming your character (you could not distinguish between a boy or a girl in the select it) and then your opponent. Even if the Pokemon fever, probably had its main character named Ash and his rival Gary was named (although the strategy guide refers to them as such). It began with Professor Oak, you have a Pokemon of your choice (between 3 innings) and then eventually going to send in a trip with a Pokemon Pokedex and you have the document you find. On the way you would with Team Rocket, the bad guys are always causing trouble and steal all the Pokémon, and many collect eight badges, so the challenge for the Elite Four, and could become a Champion Pokémon League. The formula started here, and all what he has done in every game of the main Pokemon series listed below.

What was perhaps most notable is that the Pokemon game was a surprisingly deep in terms of control a. It was the traditional turn-based combat. Simple, but it was so complex. First, the game has a Rock / Paper / Scissors method. Each Pokémon has a type, and each type has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, the water is strong against fire, but is weak against grass. Grass is weak against fire, etc etc Pokemon is not invincible. Everyone has a weakness for any kind While definitely on the psyche of these versions have an unfair advantage, such as the type who are against (the light of errors) is almost absent and there is hardly an attack error.

The battle menu gives a list of commands. Combat Pokémon point or Run. You can easily change have captured Pokémon in and out of the battle on the fly, but usually cost a turn. It is fighting the strategic part of the Pokémon that is fun and addictive. If instructors in the game will challenge you and you never know what they throw at you! It is totally unpredictable, and some of them are difficult. It is also interesting because, with 150 different Pokémon, the amount of equipment that can be endless, and it really makes you think about the types you want on your computer. Like most of the species are weak against Pokemon more than just one type. It is also important to have written a variety of movements, the movements are. On paper, it does not seem much, but when in reality the game, there is a blockage in the drain did not even know I had, because he thought his team was perfect. . . but then, one comes and makes your Pokemon fatal error.

Pokemon was not a short game. It was full of all sorts of side missions. From the Safari Zone to catch the legendary bird, the Unknown Dungeon. There was much to do, and even after the game was over, there was more to achieve. Of course, his greatest achievement was to reach everybody. Pokemon could easily take a lot to catch more than 60 hours. In 1998, this is an amazing feat, since, like most RPGs do not happen to keep you busy for a long time. The main search took as little as 15 hours or so, but all the additional content to keep on your toes.

was still one of the few Pokemon games, Game Boy made excellent use of the cable link. From Red and Blue do not have the same versions of Pokemon, some published only in some versions. They could, for example, capture version Magma Red, but in Blue. So how was Red player to catch all 150? Through trade. Up Pokemon came to my cable connection was collecting dust. Trading was generally a slow process of demoralizing, but. Traded Pokemon need to enhance an experience, so they were easier to train.

Even more exciting than the trade, however, was what really made to play an explosion of Pokemon: Battle. You and your friends can come together and fight together! Test your Pokemon team with your friends. They were often no more, much better than the battle against the master of games. It is always interesting to see that your opponent is the Heavy Hitter. “With his friends, it was always interesting. Imagine how embarrassing it sucked to say a certain Pokemon, only to discover that the coach actually have a good education? />
As for the game looks and sounds, it does not look really great when it was published in 1998 (after all it was a game made in 1995). The original Game Boy was quite grainy (but much of the Game Boy pocket) and, of course, was black or white (if played on a Super Game Boy or Game Boy Color). For a Game Boy game, but not so bad. It was annoying to have only one Pokémon to attack falter, and some of the animations were not as great, but it is expected that due to restrictions on the Game Boy. The music was fantastic. The catchy melodies – were a leader, above all the trainer and gym battles battles . The only thing was really annoying sound effects. They were not so great, and really a shame that Nintendo continue to use sound effects in exactly the same Pokemon games today. Still want it worthwhile, this was the game on the Game Boy.

Pokemon is a classic. There is always a classic. No matter who you are, if you’ve played Pokemon before ten years, the enthusiasm was totally undeniable . If you are addicted like I did, chances are, you’re playing today. Because at its core the game was much deeper than we thought it was, and continues the series that used the same basic formula today.
