## Description

Product description You've finally been granted your Pokemon trainer's license. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokemon trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect 150 Pokemon in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute Pikachu. Face off against Blastoise's torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing Pidgeot's stormy Gust. Trade with friends and watch your Pokemon evolve. Important - no single Pokemon can win it all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokemon strategy to defeat the 8 GYM Leaders and become the greatest Pokemon Master of all time? desertcart.com Welcome to the world of Pokémon, one filled with wild Pokémon and the people who attempt to tame them. You are Ash Ketchum, a boy on a quest to become the best Pokémon trainer in the world. Professor Oak, the leading authority on Pokémon, has given you your choice of three tame Pokémon in exchange for your helping him catalog and document every Pokémon in the world. But to catalog a Pokémon, you have to capture it, by first beating it up with one of your trained Pokémon, and then hitting it with an empty Poké Ball. As your tame Pokémon gain experience in battle, their abilities improve and they earn access to new attacks. Sometimes they even evolve into more advanced Pokémon. Aside from capturing wild Pokémon and evolving your own, you can catalog new Pokémon--the only way to gather some Pokémon--by trading with another Pokémon player using either a link cable or the Game Boy Color's infrared system. Pokémon gained through trades learn and evolve faster, and trading is the only way to capture all 151 Pokémon, since each Pokémon game (Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, andPokémon Yellow) has certain Pokémon missing. So if you own Red and want to have a complete set of Pokémon, you must find a friendly Blue or Yellow owner and arrange a trade.Pokémon Red is packed with interesting characters, an ingenious story hook, intriguing strategy, and of course plenty of cute Pokemon, and it's easy to see how it started the Pokémania that is sweeping the world. --Michael FehlauerPros:Gameplay and strategy that are fun for all agesFantastic replay valueBrilliant game design encourages players to meet and tradeCons:Hours of looking at the Game Boy's little screen may hurt neckOnly 1 saved game per cartridge--2 people can't share a single gameNo difference between Red and Blue except for distribution of Pokémon

Review: Be gentle to your old school Pokemon cartridges! - I could go on and on about how I consider this to be one of the holy grails of video game history, but instead I’ll share with you that the stripe on the top means a previous owner played the game with an overheated Gameboy. I keep it simple: play for nothing more than an hour, then let the old beast rest. Back to the product: lame emulators and remakes are nothing like having the real deal and playing it as it was released (bugs and all). It’s my favorite Pokémon game and I played every one until Let’s Go Pikachu! for the Nintendo Switch. Making glossy games that are overproduced miss the entire point of playing OG Pokémon games: you need to use your imagination a bit. And explore and experiment. I recommend not going by annoying articles by people holding your hand into building G-dlike Pokemon. Just play it as you want to as you are maintaining the actual fun that so many later gen games miss entirely.
Review: No comment - Very good and useful to help me for Pokémon Stadium.
