Product Description
In Pokemon Blue, your mission is to collect all 150 Pokemon. To collect all 150, you'll need to train each captured Pokemon. Once they evolve, each Pokemon gains power, which can be used to defeat and capture other Pokemon. Along the way, several skilled trainers will challenge you to Pokemon duels. To win the game, you must defeat them all.
Keep in mind that some Pokemon are rare and won't be found in your game. To get all 150, trade Pokemon with your friends using the Game Boy Link Cable, which allows the transfer of Pokemon between Game Paks.
Review
Welcome to the world of Pokemon, one filled with wild Pokemon and the people who attempt to tame them. You are Ash Ketchum, a boy on a quest to become the best Pokemon trainer in the world. Professor Oak, the leading authority on Pokemon, has given you your choice of three tame Pokemon in exchange for your helping him catalogue and document every Pokemon in the world.
But to catalogue a Pokemon, you have to capture it by first beating it up with one of your trained Pokemon, and then hitting it with an empty Pokemon Ball. As your tame Pokemon gain experience in battle, their abilities improve and they earn access to new attacks. Sometimes they even evolve into more advanced Pokemon.
Aside from capturing wild Pokemon and evolving your own, you can catalogue new Pokemon by trading with another player using either a link cable or the Game Boy Colour's infrared system. Pokemon gained through trades learn and evolve faster, and trading is the only way to capture all 151 since each game (Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, and Pokemon Yellow) has certain Pokemon missing. Of course, as a Pokemon trainer, you've gotta catch 'em all!--150 to be exact. So if you own Blue and want to have a complete set, you must find a friendly Red or Yellow owner and arrange a trade.
Pokemon Blue is packed with interesting characters, an ingenious story hook, intriguing strategy, and and it's easy to see how it started the Pokemania that is sweeping the world. --Michael Fehlauer

Cons: - Hours of looking at the Game Boy's little screen may hurt your neck
- Only one saved game per cartridge--two people can't share a single game
