The favorite game series in the house!
My 8-year-old's favorite game series. And if you're worried about video game time taking away from reading time, make sure you get your kid(s) into roleplaying games. That way, they get both... and though Pokemon won't solve it all... you'll never have to nag them to go play Pokemon!

Gotta catch this game!!!
In Pokemon Red, you play as a young boy trainer, and you have to help him be the greatest Pokemon Trainer among time! You must capture, battle and trade 150 Pokemon in the Kanto region, where your home-town Pallet is in. You capture Pokemon by throwing a Pokeball at them, and you even get to trade Pokemon with your friend with a Link Cable and two Game-Boy systems! You also must face many other trainers who are willing to be the Pokemon Masters too, and you must even defeat your rival! There's also Team Rocket, a trio of skilled thieves who steal things from many places to get money. You can also go to a Pokemart to buy many things for your Pokemon, and even heal it in a Pokemon Center! You must win badges from many gym leaders who practice battling over there!
I loved this game! If you liked the TV shows, I reccomend this game!

Not fun anymore...
I'd have to agree with another reviwer here that a couple years ago, Poke'mon was one of the BIGGEST games/toys of all time to ever hit the market. Sadly, alot of people just aren't into it anymore. It's all just the same really. "OH LOOK, I CAUGHT A PIKACHU!" Well whoopty-doo! Back in the day I was a hardcore fan of the Poke craze myself, but it just started getting old and the first Poke'mon movie made REALLY killed the franchise. Final Fantasy will ALWAYS be #1!!!!

Great game needs and has improved
This game is great! The problem is it needs more adventure. Sure it has the intese moments when you first start. I have had it not even a year and have beaten it 16 times! I am so glad that Nintendo has come out with new versions. If you are first starting this is good to start out with then get into gold, silver, crystal, ruby, and saphire versions. Those are not in order. Please do not rely me me only even though you probably wouldn't dream of it. I myself have the red version and that only.

I like this one more than Blue or Yellow
I have no idea why I still play Pokemon from time to time. I was into it before it became popular, and I still enjoy the games (not the cards... ...) more than 2 years after the fad breathed it's last. Yes, new titles have been coming out, but no one seems to like them very much and they are not changing the game enough to make them worth buying.
Anyway, about the game. You start out as a young boy living with your mother, and set out to become the world's greatest Pokemon trainer. When you try to leave town, Professer Oak will give you a starter Pokemon (the only real difference between this one and Yellow is that in Yellow, you MUST start with Pikachu). Once you have picked one, you must battle your rival, and then you can leave. The rest is obvious...
The main reason I still like this game is that it has amazing, Zelda-esque depth to it. Many puzzles, and 15 element types of Pokemon. Certain types are stronger against others, while each type has its weaknesses, too. There are a total of 150 Pokemon to be caught. However, some only appear in the Red version and some only in Blue. You must link to the Blue version to catch all 150! (To make this easier, some people buy a Red AND Blue AND a Game Link Cable so they could complete the game on their own).
Overall, this game is surprisingly fun and amusing, and has a great depth to it which will please many RPG (role-playing game) lovers. Great game, so if you like RPGs or adventure games, get this one, if you don't already have it.
