Very addictive but with certain flaws in the series I just cannot forgive.
User Rating: 8.6 | Pokemon Blue Version GB
Pokémon was first introduced to me by a friend- a game of unprecedented popularity in which a boy sets out on a journey to capture creatures called Pokémon, raise them as his own, and challenge other people with Pokémon, called trainers, challenge the gyms which give badges for beating them and, ultimately, to use the very common cliché “Catch ‘em all” and beat the Pokémon League. For the first two games, Pokémon Red and Blue, there were only 151 Pokémon to capture/collect, even though you could only get 150 as Nintendo left the one-hundred-fifty-first, Mew, out of the United States version (part of the reason I stopped playing Pokémon games). Instead of giving the one-hundred-fifty-first Pokémon after you capture the last one they give you a lousy certificate. The blue version was the only version in which I caught all 150 possible Pokémon. The another problem I have with Pokémon is that in order to capture all 150 you have to trade between the different versions and so, even though they supposedly intended to have friends trade with each other, people just ended up buying all the versions to "Catch 'em all." It was fun while it lasted with typical Game Boy graphics, but not-so-typical Game Boy game play. Extremely addictive.
