Retro game review

Game Title:Pokemon: Red Version
Publisher:  Nintendo
Year:1995
ESRB Rating:E
Platform:Game Boy Color
Genre: Adventure/Turn-based RPG


  • Fun Factor: It starts out slow but that's normal for Pokemon games after around 10- 20 minutes of play it starts getting more and more fun.


  • Learning Curve:  It was designed so that that as you and your Pokemon progressively get stronger so do the enemies and their Pokemon. I think the learning curve is a straight diagonal line.
  • Graphics:  I'd say they are OK considering it doesn't have color(despite the name of the system).
  • Audio:  The music is very catchy and the sounds are very 8-bit sounding. The music fits each location in the game very very well.
`
  • Controls:  the controls are so simple a 5 year old could play it with ease, however, this could possibly be a turn-off for some older gamers. it has a D-pad and 4 buttons: Start, Select, A, and B.


  • Story: The story was interesting to say the least, it did have a couple of well thought out twists and it was pretty good at keeping me intrested.
  • Characters:  the characters are designed pretty simply from what I could see; they didn't grow much or change at all.


  • Level Design:  The locations had a few places you could not reach until you progressed further into the story, which I actually liked because it made it so that you have a few reasons to revisit them. They were actually designed pretty well.


  • Changes:  ADD COLOR and make the moves prettier, also I would have made team rocket a little more menacing.
  • Recommendation:  Honestly I would recommend this game to people who would like to see how far the Pokemon games have progressed. I probably would not recommend this game to anyone else unless its to take a walk down "memory lane".and relive their childhood.
