  Even though it's been left in the dust by its successors (even as early as Silver and Gold, which knocked it out of the park), there's no denying that the original series, including Pokémon Red, the objective best first generation game, has its charms. As long as you're able to deal with some antiquated mechanics and a ton of random battles (you are not prepared, even with repels), it's worth booting up all over again.

  The highly successful signature grind of Pokémon has proven to be both fun and challenging enough to remain unchanged for twenty years. Pokémon Blue, Red and Yellow have definitely stood the test of time - whether you're a veteran player looking for a pleasant trip down memory lane or an entirely new (aspiring) Pokémon Master, these games will provide you with hours of fun. Although some people might think the price of £8.99 is too much (via Nintendo's Eshop), there are still plenty of reasons to (re)visit the Kanto region!

  Pokémon Red & Blue are a superb addition to the 3DS Virtual Console, and whilst these are both twenty year old games with the occasional wrinkle, they're still extremely engaging and involving titles in which to drown your free time. The gameplay is simpler by modern standards, but there's still a wealth of intricacies and complexity to be explored if you want to train a team to pixel-powered perfection. If you were to drag everything about the game and dump it in a nice, shiny, new 3D engine like X & Y you'd be forgiven for thinking these were brand new games, and you can't say that about many twenty year old titles.

  One of the best JRPGs of all time and just as good as ever, this release cements its place in the pantheon of video game history.

  Estamos, por tanto, ante la oportunidad de revivir lo que sentimos hace tres lustros, y entender por qué un juego que, en muchos aspectos, ya era obsoleto en su lanzamiento, y por qué es capaz de cautivarnos aún ahora. Muy probablemente volvamos a engancharnos de nuevo.

  Mesmo depois de tantos anos é um prazer jogar Pokémon Red & Blue. É verdade que os originais estão totalmente deprecados em quase todos os aspectos quando comparados com as entregas mais recentes mas o núcleo de coleccionismo e combates continua tão forte como nunca. A primeira geração também conta com o conjunto mais reconhecível de criaturas e voltar a seguir uma aventura em Kanto vai colocar um sorriso a quem já o fez no passado.

  Första generationens Pokémon är fortfarande ett underhållande spel som en kan förlora sig åtskilliga timmar i. Dock tror jag det rosa skimret retroglasögonen genererar kan spela en lite av ett spratt. Minnet av hur det var att spela det då korrelerar inte med hur det är att spela det idag. Men att det är bra, det råder det inga tvivel om.
