RetroReview - Pokémon Gotta catch em' all!

If you ever dreamed of a new world full of new creatures within your pocket sure you are a fan of Pokémon. In this review we help you to better understand where they came from these friends that today you adore and with whom, surely, have shared several adventures, we invite you to catch all the hidden secrets behind this great saga!

These formidable creatures took the world by storm on February 27, 1996 the company developed by Game Freak, adapting to the popular Nintendo console, the GameBoy. Put on sale to the public in Japan, this game reached a great popularity quickly, its early versions Aka & Midori Pocket Monster (Pokemon Red and Green in English) offered to players long hours of entertainment with the news that had this product. Then I will make known some of the same mode of explaining the game and as it was at the time game

The game starts in Pallet Town, specifically in the Kanto area (this is not specified in the game itself, only in later versions). In the small town lives the player and his opponent, apparently this rivalry held since childhood, the latter was the grandson of the world renowned Pokémon researcher, Professor Oak, who want both start in the world of pocket monsters therefore donates his three precious rare Pokemon, Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. Oak gives one to each. Appearing friendly, the teacher gives us the first choice but then we realize that it is part of the difficulty of the game because our opponent will choose the type of Pokemon that is strong against ours.

Pokémon is a RPG game whose main objective is to reach the Pokémon league and take on the High Command, for this the player must collect eight medals to get the respective defeating gym leaders scattered throughout the Kanto area. Meeting these goals requires the player on a journey in which you must complete missions and defeat the various types of obstacles in the way, most of them caused by a group of villains known as Team Rocket led by Giovanni who will do what is to fulfill its ambitions even if it represents a threat to the Pokémon and the world itself.

Differences between Aka (Red) and Midori (Green)

The real challenge of this game lies in the famous Pokédex, it is a portable electronic encyclopedia that records and describes all the pokemon you find in travel, which is given you by Professor Oak to choose your first Pokemon. To complete the Pokédex must obtain a total of 150 Pokémon caught which is impossible because of the differences between the two games is that there are Pokemon exclusive to each version.

Exclusive version Aka (Red)

Ekans, Oddish, Growlithe, Mankey, Electabuzz, Scyther and hence their evolutions.

Midori unique to version (Green)

Sandshrew, Meowth, Vulpix, Bellsprout, Magmar, Pinsir and developments.

To complete the Pokédex Pokemon needed to change to another player via link cable, it should be noted that some pokemon evolve only when they are exchanged, could also initiate battles between other players in this way.

Fun Fact

Pokémon Red and Green came while sales in Japan, but what many do not know is that the original version was never translated to Green America or Europe for reasons somewhat fuzzy at first, but was arguably because Pokémon Blue version, if you came out of Japan, would be an improved version of the Green since in the latter had many bugs that were upgraded to the version that he presided.
