BIRC has bought his first set of Game Boy and Pokemon Blue , for several reasons: the first and principal, it was one of the few games he found in good condition with box and manual, and secondly, so the game means to his experience as a gamer with over the years, like for me. It was in 2000, 2001, ten years ago, we discovered these games, and really gave us hours of fun that we will never forget. Pokemon is a franchise that I really like it, but simply classic because in the past editions, but also are of quality, have innovated in little or nothing.
I invite you to do a general check of the game, an analysis of it, and also an analysis of the tangible (the new section in BIRC BIRCland ), anything that can be touched and admired his art, his charm, and why it is interesting to have it and admire aesthetically. This is a joint analysis, I'll do my usual reviews, as you can see here the Green version and TCG2 , and BIRC discuss his cartridge box, excellent manual, it is undoubtedly a game that, aesthetically, was worked hard.
Introduction
We are getting first in the world of Pokémon. I guess the players of the time did not understand anything, they opened up a whole range, a full set of different things to discover. With BIRC have some common respect for the views of this saga, and the main thing is that we agreed to the Games thanks to the popularity he had won the TV series, anime thank for that, but at the same time I hate to us painted a very childish Pokémon world, more children than they actually intended to be. A game full of codes and statistics, and use of strategy that no child would know to make the most. We understand that Japan has a culture quite different from ours, and children age 20 and women walk down the street with a backpack Pikachu. That does not happen in this part of the world, painted it as children. No prejudice would have to respect things that belong to other cultures, but Pokémon was inserted into ours, and if it is mentioned, and we teased and uncomfortable laughter. But the saga, the first seven games of it (talking to Ruby and Sapphire ) marked much of the end of our childhood and early adolescence. So, like it or not, this is a saga with many others it seems interesting and important in the industry that interests us and we both like. I am going to instruct me to do the review as usual, and BIRC will make an analysis of "hardware" of the game.
Tab
These games came to the U.S. market on 29 September 1998, expecting a year later, the first of November to come out in Europe. Do not talk about the Japanese versions of the game because we know that the game has changed considerably from one market to another, as you will read on the analysis of Pokémon Green in PokéXtraS .
is an RPG for one or two players (connected via Link Cable) published by Nintendo and developed by Game Freak.
Information
These versions are developed in a region called Kanto , which years later would become a cult region for fans of the series. His arsenal of monsters has a new number of 150, plus one hidden secret that Nintendo was to exit the event. These 151 monsters belong to what later became known as the "first generation", and we agree that along with the second, is the best of all (perhaps the nostalgia factor is tricked us here).
History The history of these games, in our opinion, is something like casual. The facts are given, not explained anything. Suddenly we ran into some individuals dressed in black, we realize that the Team Rocket, and we have to fight against them in more than one occasion for no apparent reason ... well, actually, the motives are to find certain objects that allow us to continue the adventure, but in this game is not that explained everything, and has worked as a story line like that could be found in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum .
The story is very simple, we are a child of 10, 11 who leaves home to become the most powerful Pokemon trainer in the universe. But it is not the only one who longs for the position, as the neighbor of the protagonist also walk behind him. Red and Blue , as they call these characters, as the region is transformed over time never forgotten characters of the series (unlike the poor Crystal ).
difference with other versions
The main difference between fraternal twins, version red and blue , focuses on the monsters that you can catch one, who will be absent in the other. These monsters are not many, each version can catch 139, 150 (151 actually) available in the game. At that time it was not like today's games, each version has several notable differences such as certain events and changes in certain places, so having version Blue or Red was practically the same, and as players, we settle for just one. Even his "improvement" in Pokémon Yellow makes it worth the repurchase of the game, as it adds new features and differences are relatively few (although curious).
In later versions, we can say that we are facing some games so primitive that the fact that he played the new does rule out any novice gamer to try these classic versions, either by the lack of comfort things like a backpack, or Bill's PC.
But Red and Blue have a classic charm, a retro flavor that is also enjoyable with Game Boy Color versions, but that over time has been lost and will no longer be what it was. Original Artwork
The original artwork is quite interesting. We realize that the transfer of paper pokes the game has not been as faithful, and although some think the artwork looks "painted by children," I think that watercolor technique gives a very good craftsman's touch to the drawings, a manual tap, and not just computer-painted designs. Here I put some examples of Professor Oak, Red and Blue.
Conclusions In conclusion, it would make a summary of what I said, but simply comment that Pokémon Red / Blue are two versions wasted memories, childhood moments, charm and quality in 8 bits of cute. They are a classic pair began an incredibly vivid saga continues as usual, has declined a bit, but still is of unquestionable quality.
Well cartridge, cartridge really not much to discuss. Has the same art as the box, but what is striking is its color, and he got used to using cartridges usually gray, the different editions Pokémon color cartridges counted according to their name. Blue edition has a nice blue color, obviously, not doing anything wrong.
Box The box is formidable, with a predominance of that color. The red is the Pokémon Charizar, blue and Blastoise. As for the rest of the apparitions, the box (and the manual also) has illustrations of the various monsters in the game, seemingly at random, which I think is very good, not abuse of the usual image of Pikachu.
The front of the box has the same design as the cartridge and the typical data sets, classification, etc.. I called attention to the sides in the title game and more illustrations.
The rear is more striking still, in addition to never missing game description, this part of the box has a very good illustration of Red (original Ash), accompanied by a couple of photos of the game both monochrome as seen from the Super Game Boy.
The description tells us that we can play fights with friends via link cable, save our progress thanks to the battery cartridge (which I hope it works!) And we can collect, in this edition, 139 different creatures that can be redeemed with the remaining issue get the 150 (and thanks to the trick provided in PokeXtraS, 151)
l E manual
Well, we come to the most interesting part of the article, the extensive manual of 60 Pages that bring this great game. A cute little book that pretends to be a book called "Trainer's Guide" starts telling the story of the game adorned with beautiful artwork original characters Blue and Red, to continue with a simple and handy map of Kanto, which has the names of all in English cities, less Saffron, which mysteriously has his name in English.
After the dense description of commands and menu options of the game, the manual begins to tell a guide, yes, a guide to what to do in the game. What I liked about this guide more than anything are the photos that decorate it, complete maps of the different cities and routes the game (with several errors and an indication of Route 2 south of Pallet Town.)
is not really a complete game guide, but extends to Silver City, and its true function is to discuss all things that happen to be common in the game: wild pokes appearances, pokecenters, markets, fights with coaches, visits to special places ending the fight with the first gym leader, Brock. After a frustrating (for bad gamers) "The adventure continues, the manual provides some extra information, such as fishing, safari zone, a page dedicated to the leaders. Then come tips, explanations of different ways to catch pokes, a more than useful table with the types, their advantages and disadvantages, to complete data on the battles, trade, a summary list of the most important or common objects in the game , and a list of Pokémon ... Incomplete.
As you saw with the description and some of the photos showed, the manual is very complete, very nice decorated, and I admit that is one of the best manuals I've seen so far. Best of all is that I have it in English XD
Here I leave a link for download in English, but at least you can appreciate the hard work above it.

The set
The set is very interesting. It is worth mentioning that caught my attention is how the cartridge in the box, in a sort of cubicle for the same (at time of purchase cost me quite out XD until I realized).
I noticed several differences with the presentation of the game in its European version in English. Beyond that this brings the cartridge in a transparent medium, unlike the "little pocket" that I mentioned recently, I think the American English version has its charm, nothing more nothing less for being one of the few Nintendo games America took the market by thinking about your English-speaking Latino consumers. So I think this version is more "special" English.
Pokémon will no longer be what it was in the late 90's, early 2000. Inspires no longer stay for hours investigating caves and places. Although my favorite version is the crystal, all the classics are unbeatable, victims of countless myths and rumors, since the existence of Neon and Pikablue City, Mew truck to the port of Ciudad Carmin, obviously ... "False?
(clarify, just in case ... this video is fake;))
