I call it Pocket Monsters (since it was exclusively released in Japan) but for the sake of most United state users I'll call it Pokémon. In Pokémon Green the graphics are plain and not very descriptive at all. There is no battle area background during Pokémon battle's . The Pokémon sprites are very detailed when the games camera is facing the opposite Pokémon towards your own in a battle but when your the trainer who is battling then the pixels on the Pokémon is a little distorted (and you really can't make it if its a Pokémon or a deformed blob). Also the Pokémon have this thin black almost pencil like outline to them, which is great to me because it makes the Pokémon look hand drawn(me loving anime) but this not anime this is a game which means the pencil like outline is unwanted and doesn't add to the games graphics making it graphic wise a "poor"experience.There is virtually no color in the game, which makes the game dull at times and kind of bland. The only bit of color you gaze your eyes on in the game are the towns but there's a catch, the towns in the game are different colors but what ever color the town is, everything in that town is that color which really isn't creative or makes for a nice fantasy experience.
The sound in the game is alright, fairly decent although it could have used more sound tracks, but hey at least we have Pokémon cries that are individualized and don't play the same sound for each Pokémon or sound tracks (that play one song)in an ever going loop.
There really is only one reason why I played this mostly all day,because it is the first Pokémon game ever to be published,released etc. (really whatever you want to call it). This reason alone is the only reason I pushed myself in playing it for half the day.
The story really didn't surprise me (because If you played Firered or Leafgreen you already know how the story of the Kanto region goes) but for arguments sake lets say you the reader doesn't know. The story roughly begins like ,your a 12 year old male(you can only be male, sorry ladies) starting off his journey. You're in a town called Pallet town and you get your first Pokémon today from Professor Oak after you walk into a field of grass without a Pokémon. After you head into the next town and get the parcel from the market for the Professor he gives you your Pokedex and you set of on your journey to become a Pokémon trainer...(well master). The purpose of the game evolve and raise your Pokémon so that way you can take on gym leaders as well as the Elite four.
If your looking for a lengthy game you have (somewhat) stumbled into the right place. Map wise the game is somewhat large with plenty to do. You could play slots for coins in the game corner(not sure why Gamefreak would put gambling in a kids game), or you could go to the safari zone and capture Pokémon you can't find in other areas or you just take an easy day and live the life of a fisherman and go fishing in basically any of the bodies of water you come across like a lake or ocean or pound.
Sad to say for you newer generation Pokémon fans, the games not really difficult "hard". Raising Pokémon is a lot easier with your handy space bar (or whatever you made your speed button be, so power raising (level raising) is easier. And honesty it's the classic Pokémon games like this one that reminds you just how easy Pokémon used to be. In the never generations the elite four has like level 61+ in this you could really blow through the elite four like any other common trainer with lower to mid level 50's if you have a well balanced team or your Pokémon has the type advantage over your opponent.
Pokémon Green overall takes Pokémon fans back to a simpler time in the Pokémon franchise where battles were easier, and raising your Pokémon was less of a challenge. The game really reflects on the development in the franchise since this games release. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys and is looking for a(n) easier pace Pokémon game and for the Pokémon fans who just want to peak at how the franchise started.
