3 stars (So So Remake) - I've been playing Pokemon since the beginning, and I love the recent innovations to the game, however Leaf Green does not bring much to the table. It is a complete repeat of the Red/blue/yellow games, with better graphics and sound. I did like Kanto and was glad they brought it back, but I thought some of the game would be updated. All of the story lines are exactly the same as well, word for word. I actually used my Pokemon Yellow book to help me. One of the only new features to the game is the running shoes, which add much more to the sometimes staggering slow pace of the storyline in Kanto. There is also the addition of the VS Seeker to replay trainers, but it takes awhile to recharge it and you can only battle trainers right near you when you turn it on.
I also found that some of the Pokemon seemed much weaker in this remake, and harder to level. I picked Bulbasaur as my starter, and it took me several tries (at about a level 65 or so) to beat the elite four. I don't remember having that many problems beating them with Venusaur before.
In general, it's not a great game storyline wise, but it's a great addition to anyone who really wants to "catch em all", and the wireless adapter is very important for this whole series of games, as well as to recieve special nintendo events onto your games such as the mystic ticket to get Lugia and Ho-oh.
5 stars (Pokemon at it's best) - It's truly a great pokemon title. It has ALL of the features from the classic pokemon red/blue and many more.
Gameplay:You start as a newb pokemon trainer that gets his first pokemon from a professer that lives in your town. Choose from the original 3 starters (bulbasuar,Charmander and squirtle). All of them have there pro's and con's but truly bulbasuar just bl0ws. Then u venture to different towns fighting your rival, Somehow he always gets the pokemon that beats yours.... =(. After u beat all 8 gym leaders you fight the elite four. The rest i leave it for you to figure out.
Pro's:
It will keep u entertained anywhere from 20-1000 hours.
You can catch 386 pokemon, but only a few ones from gold and silver are found in this so down worry bout having to worry bout trainers using gold and silver and ruby and saphire pokemon.
Cons:
Too much like the original.
Parts get tedious because of all the trainers thus making you skip them and rendering your pokemon to become ill powered.
Sometimes you need to spend hours training on wild monsters.
Overal:9.3 of 10 good job nintendo =)
5 stars (Dream has come true) - My son Danyal was telling the other day, his dream has come true after receiving the wonderful pokemon games from Amazon. Thanks |
