Game Review : Pokèmon Series

Game Reviews : Pokèmon series!

So ill be doing many game reviews and since i'm going to start playing the Pokemon series i thought id give a full review of the series. Yes i have beaten all of the games from Red-Platinum. I will be streaming and making a few walkthroughs when i can get my camera so lets just start with a review.

Rating Scale 1-10 : Zeran's Rating 10
You can't go wrong with this series.
Though in the earlier games the graphics are lacking, the year of the game release is clearly the reason for that. The Pokemon games are all great RPG's for the Gameboy series. Starting from Red which takes place in the Kanto region the game is perfect [besides graphics] the gameplay is solid and besides a few glitches such as Missingno, the whole game is solid. The concept of Pokemon is to get 8 Gym Badges then go and defeat The Elite Four thus becoming the pokemon league champion. Though if you have some gaming experience this is relatively "easy".
Red and Blue
You may have some trouble but if you start with Red all there is to worry about is glitches such as "Slash always getting a critical hit". Red has been remade into FireRed with enhanced graphics and same story line. The first game is a MUST no matter what you say it sets you up for the rest and is amazing.
Gold, Silver, Crystal
This series was another continuation with still somewhat bad graphics not much changed except.. the story. This story takes place in the Johto region, but you may also return to the Kanto after defeating the Johto Elite Four. I struggled with this game because i have played it recently only to get annoyed of not running.. Besides that the game is excellent and has a remake coming out in September i believe for Japan. The remake is named HeartGold and SoulSilver. The games are super anticipated and will most likely be excellent. I recommend this game only because of the cool returning to Kanto feature.
Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald
Do not get me started on this series o wait i am :]. BY FAR my favorite of the pokemon series, though is not the most popular. Ruby was my favorite game before i heard of the Emerald version. Again same gameplay just a new story and new Pocket Monsters (Pokèmon). My favorite Pokèmon is in this series and it is an amazing game. Though i think the Elite Four is kinda weird on this game still very solid and a graphics update that revolutionises the game. I recommend Emerald the most as it remains my favorite game.
[I reference FireRed and LeafGreen in the above Red and Blue]
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum
The newest release of the pokemon series Diamond, Pearl, Platinum. These games are very good just like the rest, i would consider these my least favorite because i played diamond over and over till i just cant stand it unlike the other. Not to say that this is a bad game it is a very excellent game and pokemon creators really came strong with the graphics in this one. The story is in my top favorites though. What i don't like about this and I'm betting a lot of people disagree, is the Pokèmon. I just do not find them as great as the older series ones. In my opinion the hardest Elite Four but the Gym Leaders are not very challenging.
Overview
The Pokèmon games are easily my Second favorite game. You'll have to wait to hear my favorite series of games, but anyways. For an RPG i would say Pokèmon easily wins. So as i will say again 10/10 5 starts 2 thumbs and the works. Pick yourself up any of the pokemon games. I did skip collaseum and others but those will be covered in other reviews.

I'll list some of my favorites and my team at the moment.
Favorite Pokèmon - Zangoose
Least Favorite Pokèmon - Starly and Evolutions of it.
Favorite Legendary Pokèmon - Zapdos
Favorite Type - Electric
Favorite Gym Leader - Wattson
Favorite Elite Four/Champion - Steven
Team - Zangoose, Jolteon, Lapras, Blaziken, Gallade, Venasaur

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed!
