Now everyone pretty much knows what Pokémon are, even if they do not know of the games they have seen an episode of the TV show, played with the cards or at least seen some merchandise. What is now a huge cash cow was once something new and interesting. Originally getting sent the game around the time it was released in the states by a friend I ...  Read the complete review

These games were the start of something amazing. Pokemon Red and Blue revolusionized the Game Boy. Pokemon Red and Blue were released in the US in 1998 and a year later in Europe. This was some time after Pokemon Red and Green were released in Japan in 1996. Designed by Satoshi Tajiri and develped by Game Freak, the game would go on to ...  Read the complete review

Two of the first pokemon games ever and in my view two of the greatest. In the pokemon world you have to be prepared to fight catch and train your pokemon to get them to the top of the pokemon world. You start with just one pokemon at level 5 you can either have a bulbasuar a charmander or a squirtle its up to you. The pokemon are different ...  Read the complete review

This was the game that started it all. Pokemon Blue along with it's partner in crime Pokemon Red tore apart all other fads when it was released. Quite frankly, after the release of the game and television series the world went "Pokemon Crazy", and that is a mental illness so many people are only now recovering from. The game ...  Read the complete review

Here is the first ever Pokemon game I ever got and hearing that name will either make do two things: jump for joy or vomit in disgust. Before you dismiss this freaky Pokemon franchise as some kiddy fad though, this game is a great new spin on the standard Role Playing Game out there and even experienced gamers like me can have fun here. If you you ...  Read the complete review

Review on Pokemon red on the Gameboy colour I first play Pokemon on the Gameboy back in 1999, this game became a big success as soon as it hit the shops, and this was bought by mainly kids or for kids all around the country. There now have been many Pokemon films out and a cartoon that is shown on sky one every morning as well as trading ...  Read the complete review

The Game Boy has outlived many consoles and hand-held computer systems in its time, and one of the reasons for its long lifespan has to be down to its original and highly addictive games. Pokemon for the Game Boy is one such awe-inspiring game, and explains why the hand-held is still successful and around today. Pokemon, originating from ...  Read the complete review

Why do Dooyoo put a limit on the amount of words you're allowed to write? Yes I know it stops one sentence reviews but the minimum is so SMALL. Its not like many people will read your 75 word Op and give it a very useful. To get a VU you have to put loads of blood sweat and tears into it. Why the sudden out burst? Why under the ...  Read the complete review

To be perfectly honest, the plot of the game is such a simple idea, but the way the clever people have created it is outstanding. The plot - A young boy attemping to be the champion Pokemon trainer. This involves walking around the Pokemon 'world' throwing Poke Balls at starange creatures to catch them. Once caught and trained you can ...  Read the complete review

I hate this type of game. I can't stand RPG's (role-playing games). There's only a few colours, pretty much just different shades of red/blue depending on your version. It's not a looker. There's almost no animation. The gameboy is Old. The music is of "beep-beep-beep" quality. Pokémon is the best game I have ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that when I heard about the pokemon phase that was sweeping across Japan and American, I thought that it would not catch on over here. Everyone, no matter of age had seen or played the game or the programme. I thought to myself NO I will not get caught up in such a stupid phase. And obviously I did! I could not get enough of ...  Read the complete review

I think that Pokemon is a very good game, although it is getting a bit old now. I have got all 151 pokemon, the last 5 were very hard to get. I think that it is averagely good, despite the fact that this game is STILL umong the top 5 charts, for 1, 2, 3.... etc. years. It's a fact that there's never not been a pokemon game in the ...  Read the complete review
