Which Pokemon game for Gameboy is the best? What’s the difference between all the colors?
Okay, first of all – I realize that this is an absurd question for an 18 year old to be asking, but I had the weirdest craving to play Pokemon the other day. I did once a long time ago for about three weeks straight, and I rather enjoyed collecting all the little animals and naming them. If there’s another game with a similar premise you think is better, please suggest that to me rather than telling me how ridiculously stupid I am for wanting to play Pokemon. I already know that.
Anyway, as we all know, there are about a million different “colors” of Pokemon games ranging from red to ruby. So, my question is: Which one should I get? Is one better than another? What’s the difference? Or should I get two or three? They’re probably pretty cheap now that no one likes them anymore.
Well with that game you have to pretty much realize each game has pretty much the same story line. The new games have tons more features though. Although you cant deny the classic old version, you would probably prefer a newer one.
The best one is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
I only have red and blue. They are almost the same except for that some Pokemon you can only find in red, and some you can only find in blue. In order to catch them all you need at least 2 games. I hope that I helped.
i think the news one is the best or ruby versing
I’m 31…Don’t feel bad I have every pokemon game ever made even the japanese import green….. I really can’t say which one is the best because I like them all…. You encounter different pokemon in the different colors.. Alot are the same but the legendary ones are different…..
The only game that comes to mind that can b realitivly close to Pokemon is either Digimon, or Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing sounds like it is more something your looking for. You may want to research yourself on those things aswell. I haven’t played Animal Crossing, but from what I’ve heard, it is respectable.
As for the color of games, each “generation” of games has a counterpart. Such as Red version, there was blue version.
Gold- Silver
Leaf green- fire red.
Saphire- Ruby.
and there are a few more. The counterparts are exactly the same, only with a extremly slight difference in something you may do in the game in one color, there are some pokemon that you cannot catch in one vesion that you can in the other.
I would go with the more updated ones. SInce they are cheap you can play them all if you want (or one from each “generation”). All the stories from basic premaces from the games are the same, so don’t worry about that.
There will be more games coming out (such as for the DS) so keep an eye out on that and if you like it, go and buy it.
i would suggest emerald for gameboy,and u could wait one more year if u want to get the best game==diamond==pearl==for nintendo ds idk when it is comin but sometime around 2007! and every single pokemon game is listed on http://www.seribii.net scroll a ltl dwn when u get there and u will see video games-thats where every single pkm game is+the info.!!!!
It’s just depends on which pokemon and which region you want to catch all the pokemon in. Firered/Leafgreen – Kanto, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald – Hoenn.
I had pokemon yellow and then silver. I played the hell out of both of them. By the time i was done, i knew every pokemons’ name, type, evolution stages and weaknesses. Yellow is better than red and blue because you get to start out with pikachu, instead of one of the three.
i’m 25. 18? pshaaaw! heh
red, blue, and yellow, the oldest games were fun… at their time. after playing updated versions, it was… difficult to stay in those games.
gold, silver, and crystal were quite fun – you can’t trade from this version into later games because there are tons of messups in these games, but since they involve EV charts that you never have access to, go for them if you want – they are quite decent
fire and leaf are remakes of red and blue, and they are updated to include the new types of gold’s era. also, they are compatible with other modern pokemon games. definately a plus
ruby, sapphire, and emerald are the games i would recommend. just pick any of the three, it really doesn’t matter. although emerald is a little more updated. these three games have a storyline through the entire game to follow, which is why i would have you choose one of these.
there are spinoffs as well. including mystery dungeon, which takes an old game by some company that makes random dungeon games, and puts a nice storyline to it, and uses the moves of the pokemon quite well. this is definately a good game, if you have a nintendo DS. also, pokemon ranger just came out on halloween
animal crossing is not a pokemon game, but there is an element of collecting things in it that you might find addictive. it’s a good game – better if you can get your DS online (it’s also on the gamecube, but no online play) where you are new to a town, and you collect things like bugs, fish, decor for your house, etc..
