This game is OK!
Why does everyone think this game is so great?? I find it to be just an average game. You start out with three monsters and you must battle people to get more cards. There are only about 20-30 monsters in this game. They each have attack cards and defense cards. If you want to get more cards, you must battle people in these boring looking dungeons. The people follow you and if they catch you, then you have to battle them. Each dungeon has 6 floors, so by the time you are done, you have battled about 30 people!! The battles so get old, that this game will be left on your shelf in no time! Bottom Line.... Don't buy this game unless you are a really big Monster Rancher fan. Even if you are a Monster Rancher fan, I suggest you buy it for Play Station. I these games you get to battle with REAL monsters, not monster cards. If you aren't a fan and you just want a game that involves cards, try Yu-Gi-Oh. Yu-Gi-Oh ROCKS!

This Game Rocks!!!!!
I think everyone should get this,because it's a great game(especially with gamesharck).There are many things to do and you dont get bored! super fun !
I think its very fun getting discs and getting monsters and rising them . And one of the best things is you get to ballte them and train them . you can get 100 cards to ballte . each monster has a certain lifetime . ... Read more

YAYYYYYY
ok this is one great pokemon game pokemon is the only thing that me and my friends have ever gotten into not this yugioh or digimon pokemon is the best because it has the easiest concept to level up beat the game and catch'em all nbow the pikachu feature i like becasue pikachu is soooooooooo cute but i wish you could play as abecause you couldnt do that until crystal and about the mini game its great but very hard to get to play but when you can its totally worth it plus all the pokemon look like they shoud in the show so thats a plus no more missingno. but that was stupid because i never used it anyway and its a cheap way to beat the game but i did use missingno. and pokemon stadium to transfer rare candies from red and blue to yellow so i could win at prime cup and actually get the mini game so yeah its a good game

Fun but some bad points
Yes i'm 12 and am loyal to pokemon to matter what (i've played it for 8 years)i guess yellow is fine but i had a bad impressen on it when was 6. i bought it and found out that your rival hitts you out of the way and steals your eevee!!!!!!!!! That was my favorite pokemon too! =( but they make up for it with another one, too bad i didn't know that when i was 6 years old because i threw it away. p.s. i can breed eevee whenever iwant to on my emerald now so i'd buy yellow or mabe crystal.

I Choose You! Pikachu! :3
Pokemon Yellow is an "upgraded" version of Pokemon Red and Blue, and it's really good, being a Pokemon game.Unfortunately, it is somewhat underappreciated, like most Game Boy Color games.And the graphics are somewhat crude, but it doesn't detract from the game at all.

This game sucks
I'm bored so i'm writing a review for this horrible game. The tv series is bad enough so why the hell would they make a game just as bad? the graphics really sucks and so does the sound... DEATH TO ALL POKEMON!!!!

A classic, after all
This game is exactly the same than the Blue Version (I reviewed it some time ago) the only thing that changes it's the Pokemon frequency and there's also exclusive pokemon at this one. It's also funny and nice until you finish all. It ain't hard, but either easy, you need a complete strategy and good techniques to do it. I really enjoyed this game in its both versionbs and still do.

A true Oldie but Goodie-- Worth Sharing with your Kids
On 02/14/1998, I recieved a game that ultimately became an obsession for me. I played this game whereever and whenever possible. I have caught all 151 of the original characters and kept on playing anyway. The game, it seems, never ends. I have about 215 hours on my file, and not once did it get boring. The Pokemon Era may have died down, but Red is still a great game. As the 10th anniversary of its American release rolls around, I can see the revival of a classic on the horizon. ... Read more

BEST.GAME.YET!
This is my alltime favorite pokemon game; you can play as a girl for once. The music isnt overwhelming like in the newer ones (fire red/leaf green) ,there are 16 badges (double the adventure ;D)I've always enjoyed this one out of them all.

Olala this game is the best GBC pokemon game
I love this game because I can play as a girl. I caught Lugia defeated Ash and it is a great game. Some people think it sux 'cause it is a GBC. i detest when you go on the boat to go to Johto and it it take a long time. I have beaten the elite four 2 time. Easy Pezey game. Here is some advice. Never lose confidence. Always keep it up. When I was fighting I almost lost. I had a grass pokemon he had fire (you know what that means)! I didn't have any potions. I just had confidence and didn't lose! And never ever ever ever ever EVER use a rare candy on pokemon. It rises it's level but spoiles the pokemon. Trust me i know.

Not bad.
OK, I used to think Pokemon was the dumbest thing ever. I admit it. But, one Christmas, after asking for a GameBoy and ending up getting it, I found out that Pokemon Crystal Version came with it. I'd have been pretty stupid to just ignore it, so, one day, I decided to play it. I spent HOURS on it! It is quite addictive. If you don't like Pokemon, it's pretty good. If you DO like Pokemon, this is the game for you! ... Read more

The Beginning Of The Classic Series
We probably all know about the hype that Pokemon (Pocket Monsters) has received about 7 years ago. It started off as a game that originated in Japan around 1995-1996, and it was introduced to the United States in 1998. A TV show and a trading card series followed. Plush Pikachu dolls were everywhere. I was a big fan of this fad, and I was only in the 5th grade (late 1999) when I purchased this game and strapped in for the time of my life.
A Classic
Pokemon blue is hands down the best pokemon game along with red and yellow chiefly because they are the origanals, they do not mess around with all the technical crap of colour graphics etc etc they concentrate on the game playability and fun. it is great to pay over and over you can loose yourself in the game. i would 100% recommend this game to anybody who likes pokemon or just anyone who loves gaming!!

I've had my pokemon red and blue since 1998 and I still think they're better than the newer ones
I bought my pokemon red and blue when I was 8 years old in 1998, and I still play them every now and again. The original pokemon red and blue games are by far my favourite ones. I love the idea when I'm playing a game that came out like 8 years ago and I know that it was once the only one of its kind that people ever knew. They were certainly very popular in back in the 90's. Yeah, the newer ones have better graphics, more pokemon, etc. but does that make them the most enjoyable? I also own pokemon yellow, green (a japanese one), gold, silver, crystal, ruby, sapphire, emerald, fire red, and leaf green, and I still think the original red and blue are, and always will be, the best. No matter how hard people try to re-make them to improve their graphics, the original version will still be better.

A Zelda All Star
I love this game. It has the best story line. Not only that Zelda games should be made on Nintendo systems. I think they should be made on PS2 also.

Best game ever
This game is awesome beyond all of the zelda series.It has a excellent story line and is perfect,.

Legend of Zelda:Oracle of Ages.......
One thing I absolutely despise about alot of Gameboy games, anymore, is how you have to buy them in twos just to be able to finish them. Such is the case with Legend of Zelda:Oracle of Ages & Oracle Seasons.Originally planned as a trilogy, this two-part adventure is exceptionally good which is why I highly recommend that you add them to your collection.Read more

Best Ever Zelda Game for Gameboy
This was my first Zelda game and my favorite. This game seems to have everything. Basically, Link is sailing in the ocean and finds himself caught in a storm, knocked unconscious, and awakes on the shore of Koholint Island, having been cared for by Marin, a girl who lives in a hut with her father Tarin in Mabe Village. After wandering around for a while you meet an extremely irritating owl who tells you have to wake the Wind Fish if you ever want to leave Koholint and return home. Really Terrific Beautifull Video Game!!!
This is My Best Game. You must play this.
Best Game Boy game ever; second best Zelda game ever
With The Minish Cap coming out soon, and looking to be another disappointment (I will reserve final judgment until I actually play it, but it has a definite Wind Waker vibe), the handheld gamer would do well to revisit this classic. The gameplay is incredible and compelling and the story is perhaps the best in the series; the only two faults with this game are minor for any true gamer. The graphics aren't very good; the sprites are simply poorer-quality A Link to the Past sprites oftentimes, but the game is so good one will hardly notice. The sound effects are pretty poor, but, thankfully, there's always the music to compensate for that...and what good music.

It's time to duel!

Not half as good as some of the newer games
As much as I'm a fan of Yugioh, I'm sad to say that lately my oppinion of the game has gone down the toilet. Games like Nightmare troubadour are better.
Wicked!
This Game is pretty much an awsome game. There is one problem: Strings is not in this game. That is what makes Stairway to the Destined duel better. This game has the following duelists: Tristan, Yugi, Mako, Mai, Joey, Esp. Roba, Weevil, Rex, Seeker, Pandora, Kaiba, P. Seto, Ishizu, Slythereen, Yami Yugi, Nightmare, Bakura, Shadi, and Malik. ...

Opinions, Opinions.
This game is a pretty good one for those who are into the whole monsters collecting, training, and battling scenario. Highly recommended. Also, check out this title: Revelations:The Demon Slayer for the same reasons as of the above.

Two very different game for one price
Any game that involves collecting monsters is going to draw comparisons to the all-holy Pokemon. It's unavoidable. So let's dismiss the assumption that Enix's Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is a Pokemon clone. It is not. If anything, it's a merging of Pokemon and Monster Rancher. If you want to collect every monster imaginable, you're gonna need to put some of your fave beasts out to stud and breed whole new species. Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is actually two games in one. The first half of the game is a very classical Japanese RPG. The kingdom's in trouble and it's up to you, the unsuspecting hero, to save the day. The second half is all about finding new monsters, building them up, breeding them, and repeating the process to infinity with the hopes of finding every last species. There are two separate games you can buy, Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey or Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure. Both titles are nearly identical. The same quest, the same results. But each title has unique monsters and magic keys. To reach all of the many lands of Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, you'll have to breed monsters and swap keys with a buddy playing the other game. Cobi and Tara are friendly siblings whose family has just opened a monster ranch on the tiny island of GreatLog. Their peaceful lives are soon disrupted when the irresponsible Prince Kameha and his monster sidekick, Warubou, accidentally destroy the GreatLog's navel plug (yes, you read that right). As often happens when an island's navel plug is destroyed, GreatLog begins to sink. Warubou acts as a temporary plug, but it is up to you as either Cobi or Tara to journey to five different worlds in search of a replacement plug. From here the RPG is pretty standard. Travel around fighting random monsters and talking to various people in the town. All this leads you to a Boss encounter where you finally retrieve the potential plug replacement. You can only take three monsters with you on each journey, the rest are left at your father's ranch. Choose wisely. Enix has done a nice job balancing this game. Monsters become increasingly difficult to defeat as you progress through the game, but never so much that it gets frustrating. Random monster encounters are never so common that they become annoying. On average, you'll hit one encounter on each screen. Battles aren't yours to fight, but are left for your monsters. The wilder a monster is, the less likely they are to follow orders in combat. Give them love (and boatloads of food) and they will become more obedient. Each monster is capable of learning skills that are of great help come combat time. All of the bosses are tough, but none are impossible to beat. The bulk of the game comes after the RPG is finished. Once the credits roll, you're free to search for magic keys that will unlock a myriad of worlds to explore, monsters to nab, and items to find. Breeding is the key to finishing both the RPG and finding all of the available monsters. Each monster will be either male or female. Choose a mom and a dad who are both 10th level or above and take them to Professor Monster at the Starry Shrine. Now it's time to dim the lights, put on some soothing Barry White, and let nature take its course. Apparently, Enix isn't too hot on parental values because before your newborn can hatch, mom and dad split, never to be seen again. And I mean never. Left behind is their powerful and unique offspring. With the link cable you can hook up with friends and battle your monsters, swap keys and monsters, or even breed two monsters together. The monsters that come from breeding with your buddy's crew are some of the best you can get. Breeding new creatures, exploring the many new worlds of Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, and dealing some smack-down to your friends adds a lot of depth to an already solid RPG. Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is a step up from the original thanks to more monsters and the need to link up with a friend in order to truly finish the game. The RPG takes anywhere from 8-12 hours, but it's the monster ranching that makes the game a winner. It would have been nice if Cobi and Tara had two separate RPG's, but like the Stones said, you can't always get what you want. If you like Monster Rancher, this is the game for you. No, it's not as good or as addictive as Pokemon, but it is a great game nonetheless.

Completely old school.
If you're old enough to remember playing this game on the original NES and getting issues if Nintendo Power in the mail just for the maps, congratulations. This game mostly just follows the monotmous cycle of go to town, kill monsters to get gold to buy better weapon, go to next town, get more gold to buy next better weapon.
Two classics return!
When it comes to role playing games from the old days, there are two major series of them that stand out in gamers' minds - Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series and Enix's Dragon Warrior series. Although the former is obviously the more popular series in the modern age, the latter was once an equally respected and loved series - just ask anyone who played video games in the early nineties. In recent years, Enix did gamers a huge favor - they rereleased the first two games in the series on the Game Boy Color! Read on for my review of this, a single cartridge containing both Dragon Warrior I and II. The return of two amazin classics!!
I would like to fix my previous review and write a more clearer one. So bare with me. Up until last Fall, i've never heard about Dragon Warrior. I know you all think that i'm stupid for missing out on a great RPG like Dragon Warrior, so let me explain. I've been into the video game market for 13 years, since the age of 3. It's been difficult for me to know what games were coming out, when they were coming out and what they were. It wasn't until i got the internet and when i searched on this website did i realize that i missed out on alot of really great games, Dragon Warrior being one of them. Dragon Warrior was the first RPG game ever released in the United States. These two games were released in 1989 back on the Nintendo Entertainment System. They were the first games to pioneer the idea of land roaming, monster battling and building character experience. Enough said. Now to the games.

the most addicting game on the planet!
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 series is by far the best RPG available.The play value alone makes up for the "primitive" graphics and sound. It never gets boring, it is far more satisfying than any of them "Blackjack" or "Tetris" cheapies played by old ladies on the bus to the nearest casino!
