Pokemon - Blue Version

Very good and useful to help me for Pokémon Stadium.

Great item that works perfectly! The seller was very responsive to my questions. I will definitely buy from them again!

I could go on and on about how I consider this to be one of the holy grails of video game history, but instead I’ll share with you that the stripe on the top means a previous owner played the game with an overheated Gameboy. I keep it simple: play for nothing more than an hour, then let the old beast rest. Back to the product: lame emulators and remakes are nothing like having the real deal and playing it as it was released (bugs and all). It’s my favorite Pokémon game and I played every one until Let’s Go Pikachu! for the Nintendo Switch. Making glossy games that are overproduced miss the entire point of playing OG Pokémon games: you need to use your imagination a bit. And explore and experiment. I recommend not going by annoying articles by people holding your hand into building G-dlike Pokemon. Just play it as you want to as you are maintaining the actual fun that so many later gen games miss entirely.

I havent played pokemon in years, but when a couple of my good friends found their copies of red and blue i knew id have to get one shortly. Pokemon was a huge phenomenon back when i was a kid(yes im now an adult)and recapturing all 151 pokemon is a real nostalgic treat. The gameplay is great, im not a fan of turn base strategy but pokemon makes it interesting by giving you multiple choices on not just how to raise your pokemon, but how to strategize against other players both on the game and in real life. The best thing about this game was fighting a human player. This seems like a mandatory concept nowadays but back in 1998 it was one of the coolest things to battle your friends with your own pokemon which leads me to my next point. The replay value is near endless due to the fact you can raise the same type of pokemon in different ways to have a more preferred attack scheme, not to mention theres 151 pokemon out there to find and use in battle against your friends to see who is the best pokemon master. The only downside I could really say about this game is the fact you need someone with a copy of blue to actually catch all 151 and since most people have went towards the newer releases of the franchise its gonna be hard to find someone who doesnt just have blue, but is willing to trade their pokemon theyve probably been training for years. Aside from that though, this game is a real treat for kids and adults. If your looking for a pokemon game thats overall simplistic yet incredibly entertaining, or you just want to see what the hype was about when it was first released, then by all means buy this game.

"Squirtle, I choose you!" These are the somewhat cheesy yet classic words of Ash Ketchum, a hyper young lad from Pallet Town whom you get to play in this game, only you can name him whatever you want. You'll travel the region of Kanto, the first of now 5 regions in the world of Pokemon, where you'll catch and train Pokemon, battle other trainers, stop a villianous terrorist organization called Team Rocket from using Pokemon in harmful ways, and take on a quest to become the world's greatest pokemon master. If you're a Pokemon nerd to this day, despite being old enough to play these original games when they first came out (like me), your memory will kick in when you start this game and you'll say "I remember playing this when I was _______! <- [insert age]", and you'll have the time of your life playing through this thing. However, if you're a new young lad or lady who is used to playing Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, Soulsilver, Battle Revolution, and XD: Gale of Darkness, then this game will likely bore you out of your skull. Why? The graphics, compared to the new games mentioned previously, are a complete, well, katasztrófa - a word that means "disaster" in Hungarian. The Pokemon games have a special effect on people. With most games, you can start a new game every time you beat it without thought. But with these games, you literally become attached to your Pokemon and would feel bad if you started a new game and made your original Pokemon cease to exist. I, personally, feel like a fool for feeling that way, but its true. If you can put up with the graphics (or lack there of) and love Pokemon, then this game will entertain you for years to come.

While it came in good condition, the game won't save. After doing some investigation on the internet I found out that there's a little battery inside these old games that needs to be replaced after awhile that allows them to save. I realize the risk I run buying a used game but I feel like this is the most basic oversight. If you are going to sell a game in "Good" condition it should be listed that the internal battery needs replacing and should state that the game currently won't save. I will be attempting to fix this myself by replacing said internal battery but again, your product description should not say it's in complete working order when it indeed was not.

Intro: I had Pokemon Blue ever since it was released but lost my copy ever since. I had the other two US Pokemon releases (Red and Yellow) and wanted to complete the trilogy again so I searched and found one adequately priced and bought it. (Luckily no problems with it.) Plot: Anyone who's played knows it, but for those of you who don't. The plot is simple, you, the protagonist embark on a quest to get all 8 gym badges, challenge the elite four, and become a Pokemon Master. Standard vague RPG story-line. I was able to grasp it when I was 7, so I assume it shouldn't be too hard to follow. If you manage to get lost you can find an online guide pretty easy now. Game-play: Game-play is simple turn based fighting. One person goes at a time. Pretty normal for an RPG. Players could do team fighters where a max of 6 Pokemon can be used a match, the first to K.O. all of their opponents Pokemon wins. During battle you can attack, switch Pokemon, or use items. (Run is a forth option if you're grinding away and training.) Graphics: Very out dated now, but was good when the game came out. Sound: Like the graphics out dated, but good for when the game came out. Overall: If you're a Pokemon collector or re-buying a copy like I did to replace a lost one you can't go wrong with it.

It's been a little bit over a decade since the Pokémon craze ran wild all over Britain, but I still remember it like it was only yesterday. The endless number of trading cards (my younger brother use to buy them almost every day!), the movies, the cartoon series which SM:TV Live showed every Saturday morning, the commercials ...heck, virtually every single piece of merchandise in the shops had a happy looking Pikachu on the front of it. For a while Ash Ketchum was the Don of cartoon characters, and made kids like Bart Simpson and Eric Cartman look small and pathetic. Also embedded amongst the craze was, of course the video games. Two of the earliest games were Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue for the Game Boy. Many more games have been released over the years which have gotten better in the graphics department and higher in the features count. Because of this Red and Blue seem completely irrelevant; but to me, even after all these years, they still provide plenty of depth, challenge and entertainment. First of all, for anybody who doesn't know the differences between Red and Blue, I tell you. Red comes on a red cartridge and Blue comes on blue. Also, certain Pokémon appear in Red but not Blue, and vice-versa. Now onto the plot. You play the role of a ten year old boy who you need to provide a name for. You can call him Red or Ash or anything that comes to your mind. You also need to provide a name for your rival. You can call him Blue or Gary, or again anything that comes to your mind. The game starts off in the small and very peaceful Pallet Town. You're about to leave town and see the world when Professor Oak stops you. Apparently it's too dangerous to venture out alone and you need a companion. So the Professor invites you back to his lab and allows you to pick from one of three Pokémon: the fire type, Charmander; the water type, Squirtle; or the grass type, Bulbasaur. Afterwards your rival, who has a bit of a competitive streak, challenges you to a match. After that you have two main objectives to complete. The first is to gain access to the Pokémon League. You do this by travelling around the region (identified as Kanto in the Gold and Silver games) to different towns and cities, visit the Gyms, defeat the Gym leaders and win their badges. Then when you've won all eight badges you make your way to the league, where you have to defeat the Elite Four and then the Pokémon champion himself to become Pokémon champion. But in order to do all this you'll need Pokémon, and this is where the game's impressive depth comes into play. The two versions combined have 150 different Pokémon, each one having their own strengths and weaknesses. For example: fire types are strong against grass types but weak against water types; and electric types will make fried chicken out of flying types but are absolutely useless against rock types. These different types mean that the games give you a chance to try out different Pokémon in your line up to see what suits your battling style the best. Oh, the second objective? Catch all 150 Pokémon. You can pick up Pokéballs from shops in the towns and cities. Then when you see a Pokémon in the wild that you like, you weaken it by fighting it and then throw a Pokéball to capture it. But as mentioned earlier some Pokémon only appear in one version of the game and not the other. To "catch 'em all," sometimes you'll need to trade. If you have the Red version you'll need to link up with somebody who has the Blue version by using a link cable to connect two Game Boys, and then go to trading areas of a Pokémon Centre. Some Pokémon are hard to capture and will provide a satisfying challenge to gaming veterans. Meanwhile the trading, although in an out-of-practice method given today's internet capabilities, is ideal for making friends and improves your ability to socialize, so more positive points there. Pokemon Red/Blue is supposed to be one great big adventure. But in a way it actually feels like several small adventures combined to make one epic game. Your first Pokemon battle; delivering a package to Professor Oak; catching your first Pokémon in the wild; wondering through Viridian Forest...It sounds (and is!) very appetizing, and this is all before you begin your pursuit of the first Gym badge. For those who have never played a Pokémon game before there is a lot of stuff to pick up on, with many different items to use, Pokémon strengths and weaknesses, and where to actually go next among other things. But if you're willing to put in the time you'll find that it's an amazing experience that'll make you wish it would last forever. The most enjoyable aspect of the games is the pleasure you get in spending time with your caught Pokémon, travelling with them, raising them, watching them battle and win and gain EXP. points, and sometimes seeing them evolve into stronger Pokémon. It's pretty much like Final Fantasy, except you're not training humans you're training "Pocket Monsters." Yes the graphics are old and look worse than an Etch-A-Sketch drawing by Michael J. Fox, but Pokémon Red/Blue is still an outstanding piece of gaming artwork, and if you still own a Game Boy you must get a hold of either copy. Even if you're a younger gamer enjoying the 3D-ish graphics and numerous other features in the Black and White versions on the Nintendo DS, if you have even the SLIGHTEST hint of curiosity as to how the Pokémon gaming series began, get a Game Boy on the cheap and pick up a copy of Red or Blue ASAP. If you don't you'll make Pikachu very angry, and you won't like him when he's angry.

Perfettamente funzionante

Schnelle Versendung und guter Zustand

I wrote a similar thing for Yellow version but the same applies here so: My childhood in a cartridge (or at least part of my childhood) I don't even need to review the game itself - you all know it's a classic. Be aware that these old Gameboy cartridges rely on a battery to maintain a save file. No battery, no save. And the ones installed at manufacture are now well over 10 years old and many are now failing. Here are 2 solutions: Replace the battery. You will need a new cr1616 battery (worth about £2) and a special screwdriver for Gameboy games (about £5 or ask nicely at any decent 2nd hand game shop if you can use one) Slide apart the cartridge, carefully remove the old battery (might need fine cutters) from the metal contacts, slide in the new battery, secure with a few layers of insulating tape and put it all back together. Mine has been working for a few months no issues. Just make sure you get a decent brand of battery and no knock offs. Get Pokémon Stadium 2 for Nintendo 64 and the Gameboy adapter pack. You can store your items and pokemon on there with no fear of batteries running out. If I'm not playing for a while, I move everything on there in case of battery failure. Enjoy!

Works great! Game saves and came in great condition!
