The Pokemon Game Boy games are well-suited for people that enjoy playing role playing games. Nintendo is the manufacturer of the game and they first released it in Japan and then worldwide.
In these games, the player gets to go on adventures. The character that is playable is a young boy and the player can view the character from an overhead perspective. In the game, there are three basic screens players will see. One is a field map. This screen is for navigation purposes for the character. The second screen is the battle screen. This one is for viewing the Pokemon battles that players will engage in. The third is a menu where players can configure game play settings.
When the game begins, a player starts out with one Pokemon. Over the course of the game, they will be able to collect more along the way. They are able to do this by encountering them, battling them, and then throwing a Pokeball at them. If they stay inside the Pokeball after it is used, the player has successfully captured and added it to their team of Pokemon and it can be used for battles.
When a player battles another character, they must choose a Pokemon to use in the battle. They must weaken the other Pokemon by reducing their hit points to zero. When a player wins a battle, the Pokemon they used will gain experience points. Experience points make Pokemon stronger and able to make their hits more effective. Pokemon that win more battles can level up and evolve because of their raised experienced points. If a player encounters a character that wants to battle, but they do not, they have the option to flee. During battles, items can also be used.
If a player engages in a battle and loses, meaning their Pokemon had their hit points reduced to zero, that Pokemon has to be revived. The only way to revive one so it can battle again in the future is to take it to a Pokemon Center, which is like a hospital for Pokemon. There, they will be revived instantly. Some items can also revive a Pokemon, but only during a battle and not after a loss.
A new feature added to these games is that not only the character can be viewed, but also their first Pokemon, which will follow them. Also, the character can converse with the Pokemon. The Pokemon can also pick up items.
Some of these games come equipped with accessories. Some contain a a wi-fi connector so players can download extra content. Some come with a Pokewalker for increased portability.
All in all, the Pokemon Game Boy games are, in my opinion, the best you can get for Game Boy. Do yourself a favor and give the series a try if you haven’t tried it yet.
