a little over 15 years ago pokemon red and green were released in Japan the original Nintendo Gameboy something to keep in mind is that in 1996 the game we were getting old fast indeed it had been available for nearly seven years at that point however no one especially the developer game freaking Nintendo themselves could have imagined the impact that these deceptively simple games would have Pokemon Red and Blue took the world by storm in late 90s and it's not hard to see why while certainly not the best looking games ever even by gameboy standards the gameplay with so rock-solid that it didn't even matter in true RPG fashion you start out on a long quest to be the best the Pokemon master to do so you must catch your team of Pokemon train them up by fighting other Pokemon trainers take on the eight gem leaders of the region of Kanto and finally take on the Elite Four to become the best trainer in the world the real strength of these games with the sheer amount of play and replayability there are 151 Pokemon available spread across the two games for you to catch a fairly deep and engaging story the ability to battle as well as trade your Pokemon with friends internet areas to explore an opportunities to level your Pokemon up that will allow you to sync hundreds of hours into the games while graphically the game certainly isn't anything impressive for something released in the late 90s what was remains to be a high point of the games is the excellent music the four channels of sound available on the game would kick into overdrive while playing red and blue a true testament to the excellent job they did who can forget the music that played when you finally reach the end of your journey only to be beaten to the punch by a certain rival something that really gave the games added life was the addition of the trading and battle functionalities while the link cable port on the Gameboy had been used in the past red and blue really stepped it up a notch by allowing you to not only battle your friends and cheat I mean fight fairly with your hacks from YouTube but also trade this was very unique for the time and it allowed you to swap Pokemon with a friend allowing you to not only bolster your team but also complete your pokedex in a tradition that started with red and blue and continues to this very day erry generation of Pokemon games consists of not one but two games that are identical in most ways except for the variety of Pokemon available in each that way you had incentive to buy what basically amounted to the same game twice to be able to get all the Pokemon you could or at least find a friend who had the other version of the game to trade with the battle system in red and blue is easy to grasp the basics of yet very deep and fulfilling if you really want to get into it when you encounter a wild pokemon or another trainer the game launches into a turn-based battle mode your pokemon is able to use one of the four available moves that it can learn as you level up allowing you to entirely customize what it knows for offensive defensive or support roles all Pokemon have weaknesses as well I mean it's probably not a good idea to take on that fire type Charizard with your grass type Venusaur however that's certainly not the whole story as you're probably not going to have much look against that Charizard with a water type Magikarp either no matter the type Vantage as a phase generation of games pokemon black and white Early's today I found it fitting to take a look back at the games that started it all red and blue launched off a massive franchise of games movies a TV show toys probably one of the largest collection of merchandise I've ever seen if you've never played the original you definitely owe it to yourself to take a look at some of the best games of all time you
