Your pokemon can only learn four moves, however, so thinking ahead is important when it comes to selecting what attacks you will allow them to keep having four moves that hit for masses of damage but can only be used five times won’t stand you in good stead in longer battles. Repeated battling will level up your pokemon this raises their stats, and also gives them a chance to learn new moves and possibly evolve to a new, more powerful form. Battles may be encountered both by “making eye contact with”, or talking to, various NPCs, or by connecting your gameboy to a friends and battling their team alternatively, various dungeons in the game and areas with long grass or waterways will incur random battles. In the case of wild pokemon, throwing a patented Pokeball when their health is low may capture it, adding it to your intrepid bunch of heroes.
Pokemon may be made to battle against wild pokemon, or other trainer’s beasts when a pokemon’s health is depleted, it “faints” and loses the battle. All of this gels together to make an involving RPG experience that pans out completely differently for each individual depending on which pokemon they choose to raise and how. Every town is well-populated with NPCs to converse with, shops to investigate and houses to nose around, not to mention key locations like the Pokemon Museum and PokeLabs. Your character (male or female this time) starts their adventure in Pallet Town, a sleepy and uneventful village yet, over the course of the game, you will visit far-flung destinations in a variety of places, from woodlands to the ocean. The aim of the game is, as always, to become the best pokemon trainer in the world while collecting various fuzzy charges on your way. Is this enough to convince you to play what’s essentially a very old game again? You decide. As well as this, there are some slight tweaks the berry system from the newer titles has now been implemented, although there’s far less emphasis on it than in Ruby and Sapphire, and new moves and types have been carried across. Luckily, the addition of a complex of islands known as One Island, Two Island and Three Island respectively, offer the only real new experience to this game in the form of new pokemon locations and a short scenario to solve. Everything from Pokemon locations to the dialogue of the carious NPCs you meet on your journey are carbon copies of the 90s hit GB games. If you’ve played either Red or Blue, then you have played 95% of this game already. The move effects are starting to look a little tired now for the large part. Once again, there is no visible push to the appearance of the game like Ruby and Sapphire, everything is more colourful and detailed than before, and yet a far cry from visual treats such as Golden Sun.
