| Pokemon Red / Blue is
a Gameboy game that came out in 1995 in Japan and is still
rocking the world today as it is introduced into America. It's
a role playing game with a new twist, you don't fight
yourself, you fight using trained beasts called Pokemon.
Pokemon is also one of the few Gameboy games that uses the
link cable to not only challenge other player but to trade
Pokemon with other players. Professor Oak, a leading authority
in all things Pokémon, gets you started by giving you one of
three Pokémon; Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle. He also
gives you a Pokémon encyclopedia called a Pokédex that he
wants you to fill up with Pokémon information for him. You
mission is to battle your way through the long and winding
travels of the world of Pokémon. As you travel, you will have
to catch as many Pokémon as possible. This is not an easy
task, as you have other Pokémon trainers out there to stop
you, including Team Rocket and your long time rival Gary.
Remember, Pokémon are not
ordinary creatures. To collect all 150, you'll need to train
captured Pokémon so they evolve. For instance, a captured
Caterpie will evolve into a Metapod, which will then turn into
a Butterfree. Each transformation adds more power to the Pokémon
— giving you more power to defeat and capture other Pokémon.
Also keep in mind that some Pokémon
are rare and won't be found in your game. The Red and Blue
versions of the game each carry their own variety of Pokémon
to defeat, collect, and train. To get all 150, trade Pokémon
with your friends using the Game Boy Link Cable, which allows
the transfer of Pokémon between Game Paks.
There are some interesting facts
about this game that are often "telephoned" around
the net as incorrect information; this is the correct
information. In Japan Red and Green were the first to be
released, then they released Blue. But in America it was Red
and Blue which got released. What people don't know is that
the American Blue is in fact the Japanese Green. The Japanese
Blue version was not brought to America because it was known
as the "boring" version. Many people say that the
Japanese Green was not brought to America because it had
advanced features included with it in the game, this is not
true; because Green was brought to America as Blue. And Yellow
is Yellow, it is the game based on the Television series that
has struck the world. In the game you fight Jessie and James
and your first Pokemon is Pikachu. There are new graphics and
Pokemon statistics are different for this game.
