Timeless Game That Is Becoming Harder To Find
5 of 5 found this helpful A very kid-friendly game that not only will keep them occupied for hours on end, but will also keep most adults entertained as well. The objective is to collect eight gym badges, crush the bad guys (team Rocket), and to raise your pokemon. Even after you accomplish these things (honestly, you can always continue to raise pokemon) you can still battle the Elite Four and go to the battle zone. The possibilities are endless.
My favorite aspect to the game has to be the way it all ties together so well, Pokemon are strategically placed and tend to become available when you may really need them (an example being that a fire-type is available before the grass-type gym). Though I do prefer the new Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, this game has a great deal to offer on its own. The starter pokemon are without a doubt my favorite; charmander, bulbasaur, and squirtle. This is the only game (other than Leaf Green) that you can obtain any of these pokemon.
My least favorite aspect to the game is that you cannot evolve pokemon based on the "time of day" idea (you cannot obtain Espeon or Umbreon). Overall, this is one of the best Game Boy games that they've ever released. If anything, I would recommend buying it only because that you can obtain certain pokemon when this game is inserted into the GBA splot in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. These pokemon include Caterpie, Metapod, Ekans, Arbok, and Growlithe. Alternatively, if you purchase Leaf Green the following are available; Weedle, Kakuna, Sandshrew, Sandslash, and Vulpix. Of all of these pokemon, the only that are of much value (in my opinion) is Sandshew/Sandslash, Vulpix and Growlithe. In Platinum if you have any GBA game inserted you can find Gengar (which can only be obtained through trade otherwise).
If you decide to buy this game you should do it soon, because the game simply gets harder to find as time passes. There are no stores that sell this; you can't buy it at wal-mart and you'll be *lucky* to find it at Game Stop or any other game store.
