SUMMARY:
I bought my GBA just so I could play this game. And I wasn't disappointed. This remake of the original R/B/Y is great in nearly every way. You travel through the familiar Kanto region battling gym leaders and trying to become a pokemon master. And it's not an easy task. As you battle your way through the gym leaders, you will be challenged by a variety of other trainers. Once you beat the Gym Leaders, you challenge the Elite Four, then the champion. If you manage to survive, you will be crowned the new Pokemon League Champion and you'll be entered into the Hall of Fame. After your Hall of Fame debut, you can access the Sevii Islands, where you can catch some Johto pokemon. The islands hold a variety of minigames, including the Dodrio Berry-Picking game, and the Pokemon Jump game. Many more trainers with very strong pokemon await your challenge throughout the islands. There is also a daycare on one of the islands that enables you to breed pokemon. Breeding is the only way to gain access to some pokemon and moves in the game. The whole point of the islands though, is to recover the Ruby and the Sapphire, the keys to trading between LeafGreen and Ru/Sa. After recovering the ruby and sapphire, you can battle the Elite Four again, only they have become stronger and picked up some new pokemon. This also gives you access to Cerulean Cave (Unknown Dungeon) to catch Mewtwo, who sits deep inside the Cave at lv. 70. Throughout the game you will be challenged in all aspects of your knowledge of pokemon. There are many legendaries to catch such as Mewtwo, Zapdos, Ho-oh, and Deoxys, as well as many more. There is also a pokemon casino for all those pokemon fans who like gambling, with prizes that you can't get anywhere else. The safari zone offers access to many rare pokemon and items. Even after you finish the game, you must still train your pokemon to lv. 100 and battle with you friends. Pretty much the only problems I ran into with this game is that there aren't any pokemon contests like there were in pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Without contests, you really don't have a use for berries, even though there is a berry forest. Another one of the few problems I encountered was that there's no Dive HM. It was pretty fun to go underwater, in search of pokemon and treasure. There really is no water though, so I don't see how they could've fit it into the game. Overall, the goods by far outweigh the bads. If you like pokemon, even a little bit, you should head over to your nearest game store to pick up this masterpiece as soon as possible.
