This encourages players with different games to link up and trade Pokemon in order to complete their Pokedexes. The only difference is that some Pokemon are more rare in one game than the other, while others are only obtainable in one game over the other. Pokemon Red and Blue play the exact same way with the exact same story. A lot of the strategy in Pokemon is teaching your Pokemon moves of a variety of types to be able to handle different situations or defend itself. Others are completely ineffective, such as a normal-type move not even touching a ghost-type Pokemon. Some moves are very effective against certain types of Pokemon, such as a fire-type move being super effective against a water-type Pokemon. After leveling up a Pokemon may learn a new move (and if it already has four moves, you can choose to forget a move to learn the new one). There is some strategy to battling as each Pokemon will have at least one type, if not two, and each move a Pokemon can learn is a specific type as well. Some Pokemon can even evolve, some by leveling up to a certain level, others via other means…though in the first generation it was either by leveling or using an elemental stone. After so much experience the Pokemon will level up. Defeating a Pokemon in battle will give experience to any Pokemon who participated in battle (the experience is split evenly amongst them). Each turn you can choose to attack, use an item, attempt to escape from the battle, or switch out to another Pokemon. The battles are menu driven and turn based. Wandering around in grass or in caves and some buildings will net you the occasional random battle against a wild Pokemon, while you’ll also come across many other trainers to do battle with. When it comes to how the game plays, it’s very much like a traditional JRPG. This isn’t just some randomly thrown in subplot either as players will see much later in the game. This actually serves as a subplot in the game as typically when you come across a member of Team Rocket you’ll have interrupted whatever they’re doing to further their plans and once you defeat them in battle they’ll run off. Throughout the game you’ll occasionally run into members of Team Rocket and battle them, and their boss Giovonni also shows up a few times to battle you. All of this is done along with a secondary goal of filling your Pokedex with as many entries as possible.Īlong your journey you’ll occasionally run into the crime syndicate Team Rocket whose goal is to steal Pokemon to further their goal of world domination. Once you gain all eight gym badges you’ll make your way to the Indigo Plateau to battle the Elite Four for a chance to become the Pokemon League Champion. Most of the towns you come across will have a Pokemon gym that’s ran by a Gym Leader that usually focuses on a specific type of Pokemon such as rock, water, and psychic.
To do this you must capture and train many different types of Pokemon by battling other wild Pokemon and trainers. The goal of Pokemon is simple: travel throughout the Kanto region and gain enough gym badges to enter the Pokemon League.
Today I’m heading back to Pallet Town where it all began to check out Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Pokemon Red was one of my favorite games on the original Game Boy and now all these years later, today’s generation of Pokemon trainers can check out where it all started via the 3DS Virtual Console. Little did we know that two decades later we’d have explored six regions and found, captured, and battled with over seven-hundred twenty Pokemon. We then set out on our Pokemon journey in which our goal was to capture all one-hundred fifty Pokemon (before we found out about Mew). We met with Professor Oak and received our first Pokemon. “Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokemon.” Twenty years ago in Japan and eighteen years ago in the US, players were greeted with that statement for the very first time.
