Overview of Pokemon Red


Something I'd like to do here is tell about a specific game in the Pokemon Series. Today I'm focusing on Pokemon Red Version.

Stats:
This was one of the two games that debuted in the US in 1996. Ever since then it has made an imprint in peoples' hearts both young and old. In its first month since it's release it sold 265,000 copies with Pokemon Blue Version. It also featured the original 151 pokemon.

Version Exclusives:
Ekans, Arbok, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Mankey, Primeape, Growlithe, Arcanine, Scyther and Electabuzz. Ones could only find these in Pokemon Red and had to be traded over to Pokemon Blue.

Storyline:
You start out as a ten-year-old kid going on a Pokemon Journey. On your way to start out, Professor Oak stops you and takes you to his Laboratory to get you started. You're able to choose from Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur as your starter Pokemon. Your rival also chooses one of these three and a battle ensues.

After a short while you are delivering a parcel from a local Poke Mart to Professor Oak. Once you give the parcel over to him he asks you and your rival to achieve his dream for him: to complete the pokedex, an electronic encyclopedia on Pokemon.

Not too long after you start out, you come across Team Rocket, and have to stop them from accomplishing their evil schemes! There are plenty of their Team Members around, trying to stop you from stopping them.

From there on out you are on your own, catching and training Pokemon, battling gym leaders to eventually get the chance to fight, and hopefully deafeat the Elite Four, the toughtest trainers around
.

That's it for our Pokemon Red coverage!
