Graphics: Well the graphics have decent color although very old school, none of that 3rd dimensional gibberish. But that doesn't really change anything inside the game, I mean it would be nice to see some great artwork and details but it's still pretty legit. Unless you really care about seeing details then it really doesn't matter.
Sound: The sound is not worst yet again it is not the best either. The little music that comes out every time you're walking around got me pretty annoyed. Well that's because It's like the same little beats throughout the whole story. There is supposedly a radio in the game in which you could change the tune but the tune changes every time you walk in a different place, which is constantly. It doesn't help much but for one part of whole game. I would just hear something else while playing the game to distract me from it. Many others might not really be bothered by it though.
Addictiveness: I actually played this game a lot when I was a little kid! I recently found this great website and found that I could play all the old games I used to play and this happened to be one of them! So yes! I would definitely play this game again but if you replay it you will already know the whole story line and know what you have to next do with such an ease, so I would recommend taking a break.
Story: Well the story is that the protagonist (you) has a dream to become a great Pokémon trainer, maybe even become the best one out there! First, you are out to complete a little mission, after you find out some thief is out there stealing Pokémon and treating them with no love you go out there and become a loving trainer yourself. With hours of hard work and training you go out there and collect various gym badges and beat the most powerful trainer out there. The end! ... NOT until you complete the pokedex!
Depth: The game goes really into depth with the Pokémon! Not only do you have that long storyline where you have to get all eight gym badges in the Johto region but there is MORE! After you collect all eight Johto region badges there is an other region called Kanto that you discover and there happens to be another eight Pokémon gyms with badges! Making it sixteen gym leaders you have to beat. Not only that, but there is a night and day system. Some certain Pokémon can only be caught during the day and others can only be caught during night. Also, some Pokémon can only be caught on certain days. The time could be changed to make day last longer. (daylight savings time) There where new Pokémon added to this generation of Pokémon as compared to the first generation. That means more Pokémon to complete the pokedex, which means breeding Pokémon to make babies!
Difficulty: This game is really not THAT difficult, well when it comes to talking about the story line. The answer and solutions are practically given away to you if you read everything the other characters say. All you have to do is keep your Pokémon well trained. I recommend taking some time and dedicate it to simply raising the Pokémons level by a lot. The more powerful the Pokémon the better! Also, it's good to know the Pokémons weaknesses, some rivals might be easier to defeat if you know their Pokémons weakness. The leaders are not that hard either if you keep your Pokémon well trained and have potions and berries. The most difficult thing overall is beating the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the game, but by then hopefully you have all your Pokémon to a really high level and have TONS of potions! When it comes to completing the WHOLE game, it's a big hassle. In order to complete the Pokedex you need to trade Pokémon with other players, which might be a problem.
Overall: This is a great game that will get you entertained for hours! At the beginning it might be a little frustrating having to get around because it is slow or it might be frustrating to have wild Pokémon pop out so much but hey, that is how you train Pokémon!
