I remember when Pokemon first came out in America, there were two versions, Red and Blue and was originally from Japan but was called Pocket Monsters over there. (Japan got a Green version but released a special version of Blue and Nintendo combined the monsters from Green and Blue into our version of Blue). I had gotten the Red version and was glued and addicted to the Game Boy screen for hours and hours. Being a kid and playing this for the first time was pure magic, the graphics on the Game Boy were really well done and the music is catchy and cute to listen to. The Pokemon Red Blue and Green games were extremely successful and helped pave way for RPGs in the USA and Japan. This is a true classic you have to play for yourself. It's amazing for its time and is fantastic.
9/10 stars.
