The Pokémon game that  already had a huge success/ fan base in Japan,
then brought  Pokémon franchise to America, here it is the first ever
Pokémon game to ever be released in America, Pokémon Red Version! This
is the game that started the huge multimillion dollar Pokémon franchise
and kicked off/started many great epic years of the Pokémon
franchise/series games in America( as well as Japan). This is truly a
classic Pokémon game/adventure that no fan of the series can resist to
play, between the games latest and greatest
 this game is highly favorable as
you can tell by it's later and highly popular remake Pokémon FireRed
for the Game Boy Advanced, I literally played it straight until I beat
it thoroughly, so I would reply this again any-day just for a good trip
down memory lane  for the remembrance of the game that started the whole
franchise for/in America.  The story is basically this, your a young boy around the age of 10-12
who's just got his first Pokémon today and his taking his first steps of
becoming a Pokémon trainer/master. On your journey you will face many
tough challenges like the crippling strong gym leaders, and the nearly
invincible group of elite trainers called the Elite 4, and not to
mention, you take down a huge international major crime syndicate along
the way in your journey.You will face many hardships and great
challenges ahead put push on through them and train hard with your
Pokémon partners! Well the game itself isn't very lengthy, but with the extra events like
finding and capturing the legendary birds and capturing the legendary
mewtwo, which by the way unlike its later remake FireRed, you don't have
to wait en-till after you get the national pokedex to open mewtwo's
cave, in this, the original it's open right after you conquer/beat  the
Pokémon Elite 4. And also you can do the mew glitch in this game! I
estimate play time for this game at about 8-9 hours if you use the speed
button.To
be honest the game isn't that difficult if you raise a well balanced
team of Pokémon with a lot of diversity. The trainers you face should be
pretty fairly easy to beat if you have the Pokémon type advantage over
there's . The game is a good investment time and Viz wise,it offers a good quality
story with some good interesting plot/story events. It has a fair
amount of things to do in it between raising your Pokémon, battling gyms
and the elite four and as well as normal trainers, catching legendary
Pokémon and obtaining the national pokedex and playing slots in the
game corner for cool prizes you will be occupied for a while.
