I really like this game. Everything about it is really awesome, and I really hope that there will be a sequel released in the United States soon. This is what I think of the game.
Graphics: I give the graphics an 8/10. The Pokémon cards themselves look exactly like they do in real life. The attack animations are pretty good, but not perfect and the character models look good for a Game Boy Color game.
Sound: I give the sound a 9/10. The music in this game is fantastic. It's catchy and really fits the mood of the game, especially when you fight the Grandmasters at the end of the game. It makes playing the game even more fun.
Addictiveness: I give the addictiveness a 10/10. The game has so much variety and so much customization. Despite only having the first few sets of Pokémon cards to choose from, you still have hundreds of ways of building your 60 card deck. You could make so many different decks that you never would get bored. And when you beat the game, you would want to play it again, but do it differently. Everything about Pokémon itself is just simply addictive. The only thing that would make this game even better would be adding in the ability to battle and trade with your friends without a link cable.
Story: I give the story a 5/10. The story is definitely the worst part of the game, but it isn't that bad for a Pokémon game. So your character wants these rare Pokémon cards called the Legendary Birds, which are the 3 legendary bird Pokémon, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos from Generation 1. In order to get them, you have to go to the 8 clubs and beat the club masters in a game of Pokémon to get the 8 medals. After you beat the 8 clubs, you have to fight the 4 Grandmasters of Pokémon. After you beat them, you get the Legendary Bird cards and win the game.
Depth: I give the depth a 10/10. There is so much to do in this game. You can make countless different decks with the hundreds of different Pokémon cards you get to choose from. You get different cards from different trainers so the game forces you to keep battling trainers to get more booster packs. Every time that you get a new booster pack, it has more and more different cards in it. You use these cards to upgrade your deck so the game is easier. If you really wanted to 100% complete this game, you would have to keep battling to get more booster packs so eventually, you would have every card in the game, but that would take a very long time. Depth and addictiveness are what Pokémon was designed for. And this game shows that to no end.
Difficulty: I give the difficulty a 5/10. Most of the time, you have no control of the difficulty because, since it's a card game, it's based more on luck instead of skill. However, if you battle enough trainers and get enough booster packs, you will have enough good cards to win in any situation. This game is really easy compared to other Nintendo games but it has challenging moments, like fighting the Grandmasters and some of the Club Masters.
Overall: I give the game as a whole a 9.5/10. It isn't perfect, but it is really close to being perfect for it's era. Even today, it is a ton of fun to play and has extremely high depth, addictiveness, and sound. It isn't that hard and the story is just ok, but I really recommend it to anyone who knows at least a little about Pokémon. The only thing I really hate about this game is the fact that the sequel was never released in the United States or translated completely into English. 

BattleDomeGuy : Wow and this is you're first review.. I have to say i am Impressed, You did rather a good job with describing everything as far as I can see. the only thing I Would work on is the spacing. other besides that this review is fine

This is a great first review! You really had a lot of detail in your review and it was a great read! The only thing I would suggest is that you organize your review a little more by putting your greatly worded facts into categories. But other than that, it was great! Keep up the good work dude!

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that.
