SUMMARY:
[ Introduction ]


Pokemon Blue Version is one of two Pokemon-themed Game Boy Colour games released in the Fall season of 1998, with a Special Edition version released over a year later(as turns out to be the tradition for developers in the coming years of this series's everlasting life). It's labeled under the Fantasy genre due to the fact that it's set in a world that is almost parallel to ours, except that it's completely inhabited by animal-like creatures with extraordinary powers known as...

THE BAD:
- You're not exactly going to get a good reputation if you pull it out on the bus if you're over 7.

SUMMARY:
Pokemon Blue for the GameBoy. This humble game was one of the first three of all the Pokemon series.
This excellent, fun, and most of all memory-bringing game is one of the best for the Gameboy.

You start out with no Pokemon, and you can explore the first town, Pallet Town. Unless you walk in the grass, it's not very exciting.
You have to walk into the grass, and get yourself a Pokemon. From there, things get going. And things get amazing.

In the game, you're basically your own character, and you'll come across Pokemon in places. You need to catch the Pokemon to complete the Pokedex.
You'll face all kinds of challenges, from average Pokemon trainers, to wild...

    THE BAD:

  • Not really that much left to do after you beat the Pokemon League.
  • Too many glitches and the game can freeze easily.
  • PC storage system is annoying to use.

    SUMMARY:

    SUMMARY:
    Pokemon Blue was released in North America on September 30, 1998. It was one of the very first Pokemon game in it's series and the first for me to ever play. I was only around the age of six or seven when I first started playing but it was so user friendly that I was able to understand the game. As I explored throughout Pokemon Blue I started off with my very first pokemon that was given to me from Professor Oak. I was so surprised to see that besides this pokemon there were so many other unique types out there.

    Professor Oak acts as one...

    THE GOOD:
    Though the gameboy holds low graphics, I didn't mind what so ever, as I enjoy 2D game play. ^^ For this one you are able to gain pokemon that you can't acquire on Pokemon Red.

    Being able to battle and trade when connected has always been a great quality to these games giving you fun times battling against friends and gaining more information on your pokedex when trading some pokemon for better pokemon. This game gives you hours of fun when fighting wild pokemon, pokemon trainers and pokemon gym leaders. As you go around the land, they all are challenging in their own way.

    I think a wonderful thing about this game is the many different pokemon there is...all having their advantages and disadvantages against other types of pokemon. With the many elemental pokemon out there you can have 6 of them in your team. They will learn new skills and techniques that can come in quite useful in battle.

    THE BAD:
    the music was so incredibly...

    THE GOOD:
    The Good: It ca keep you busy for quite a while, and the gameplay does keep you wanting more in this ever growing pokemon Range.

    THE BAD:
    The graphics do have some flaw's in it and as soon as you complete the game their is nothing else you can do, just fill the Pokedex.

    But the thing that I don't like is the fact that most pokemon have to be traded, and that can take time because the graphics are slower than usual.

    SUMMARY:
    The graphics do have some flaw's in it and as soon as you complete the game their is nothing else you can do, just fill the Pokedex.

    Also, the gym leaders have an army of pokemon that can keep you in suspence, and that's really good.

    But the thing that I don't like is the fact that most pokemon have to be traded, and that can take time because the graphics are slower than usual.

    THE BAD:
    graphics
    sound quality

    SUMMARY:
    great game, for little kiddies. plot a bit short though. battle and trade with your friends. battle trainers to be the top trainer in the world. catch all the pokemon to be the pokemon master. you can print your pokemon off with a pokemon printer. dodgy graphics, sound quality very poor. but great game, a but old now. i suggest to but the leaf green and fire red the improved game and with added features.

    THE GOOD:
    One of the greatest gameboy games ever created. Argue if you want, but this game sold like hotcakes and it is a genious creation by Nintendo. It can be played by any age group and that is what I found interesting about this game. Personally, I don't play Pokemon anymore, but I did when it was popular just like basically everyone else did.

    The game had many great attributes about it. They include:

    Sound
    Graphics
    Gameplay
    Difficulty

    Sound- it was very good. The music was good and the sound was very clear and you could easily hear everything.

    Graphics- it was a gameboy colour game for crying out loud, but the graphics were very good. They were clear and new. I just thought that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the graphics, even if it was a gameboy game.

    Gameplay- the gameplay was the best attribute of this game. Catching pokemon and raising them was really addictive. 150 pokemon in total and I just thought that...

    THE GOOD:
    151 Pokemon, each with their own unique stats and abilities
    Catchy Music
    10 types of Pokemon

    THE BAD:
    Pokemon battle cries

    SUMMARY:
    This game is one of three videogames that started the global Pokemon craze. The three versions, Red, Blue, and Yellow, all have similar storylines (Red and Blue are identical, Yellow follows the TV show), but each one has different Pokemon to catch. The basic Pokemon types are all the same in these versions, and they are as follows:

    Normal
    Fighting
    Water
    Fire
    Ice
    Ground
    Rock
    Psychic
    Flying
    Bug
    Poison
    Grass
    Dragon

    You start out the game as Ash Ketchum, a young boy from Pallet Town. As you try to leave town, Professor Oak stops you and takes you to his lab where you can choose one of three Pokemon to take with you and keep. The battle cries of the Pokemon get very annoying, but some of the music is good. From the time you start playing this game,...
