The Original Pokemon Red/Blue

06-24-2005, 04:54 PM

DISCLAIMER: When I talk about Pokemon here, I mean the game, not the show. Also, all Ominloathers of Pokemon should hit the back button immediately.

As Pokemon still goes downhill, I still say that Pokemon Red/Blue was one of the best game ever. Unfortunately, it has taken too many wrong turns. However, I still love Red/Blue and it would be cool if they re-released it. Yes, like an anniversary addition. They would have to fix the bugs though.

If I were in charge of this anniversary addition, I would also change it so that instead of getting a gay diploma at the end you receive the 151 ST Pokemon Mew (which is not included in the American versions).

So, if they did make an anniverary addition what would you like changed? Would you rather see a new addition if it was done right and had a differant story line?

No flames please; I have already put up the disclaimer.

Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green (Green replaced blue).

For the record, in Japan there was a Pokemon Green at one time. But people didn't like it so they changed it to Blue.

Geuss they changed it to Green again.

Never played FR or LG, in comparison to the other Pokemon games, what are they like?

They are pretty close to the original except for the improved graphic, harder bosses (especially the Elite 4, a few have some pokemon in the 80s if I remember correctly), and the extremely-rare double battle. That, and there is one major change that greatly disrupts the storyline (in a good way) which gives you a chance to get some new and rare Pokemon (like Ho-oh). A few good changes, but nothing truely innovative or original. It follows the exact same battle system and basically the same plot, so if you're looking for a new challenge, don't look here. However, it is fun if you want to relive the originals without deleting your original save file.

The Bear pretty much summed it all up there.

Also: Mew does exist in the original. There's a bug that screws with the actual code and lets you fight any pokemon (including mew) out of the original 151. Check over on game faqs. It only took them a few years to find one that actually works.

And yah, I enjoyed red and blue too. I have a group of 5 level 80 or so mewtwos from back when I played a lot. I had both games so I'd start a new game on one, transfer my pokemon from after beating the other game to the new one, play through again, etc. etc.

It's mildly amusing using a level 80 mewtwo that you can't control on the earlier Gyms. You almost get worried when your mewtwo decides to nap, then you remember you have about 70 levels on the opposition.

Anytime I got both SURF and FLY, I would always head over to Cinnabar Island and use that glitch to get over 100 of an item. Rare Candies and Master Balls were my favorite. Didn't even need to fight to capture stuff with the Master Ball.

Yeah, i must admit it was a good game at the time. I still have them both i think, except i have red (<3) and my brother has blue. I personnally liked red better, blue is sorta depressing :/
i also played the pikachu version, and after that gave up on the series.
P.S. YEAH RAIDEN! I loved that glitch. Except i was told you;re not supposed to catch the missingno... that almost broke my game...

*Shudder* Missingno...

Anyways, one of my favorite times was defeating the Elite Four with a group of low-40s leveled pokemon:

Puff the Dragonair. I think. He may have still been a dratini at that point.
Rocky the Golem.
Big Boo the Gengar.
Merlin the Alakazam.
Spike the Jolteon.
Bubbles the Blastoise. Come on, the name fit when he was level 5...

They went in there, kicked ass, and took names. Not nearly as awe-inspiring as the tale of Tombstoner the Golem. My brother caught a Geodude in Mt. Moon, deposited all his pokemon, and went through the rest of the game just using Tombstoner.

Good times, good times.

Psrdirector · 06-25-2005, 06:48 PM

Yeah the new ones are remakes.

I actually like the games after red and blue, and have at least one of every set, I got red, silver, my crystal was stolen, then on the gba ruby, emerald, and green. Havnt beaten the last two yet.

My brother owns blue, yellow, gold, crystal, and on the gba fire. so the only one we dont own is saphire, he is thinking of getting it.

I think they are good, the biggest problom i had with any of them is that the first ones on the gba, ruby saphire, are way to short.
