: i thought the combat would be real-time. If it's only turn based, then the graphics are the only real reason to buy it.
You are a bit of a moron really thinking that it would be in real-time, how would that work and you would lose that pokemon magic by making it real-time. The whole intention of buying the game is for the graphics.
Thank you, TheBest
The Red and Blue titles both resembled Red and Blue colour Pokemon. With the fire breathing dragon on the Red box and the cannon shooting Blastoise on the Blue. So now with Pokemon Yellow they have Pikachu who is Yellow and is the most famous of the pokemon.
This may be colour confusing but my point is that Nintendo are using the Pokemon. E.g. Pikachu, to sell a game where almost everything is the same as the two original games.
I can see it, little children shall run into a shop seeing Pokemon Yellow with the cute little Pikachu on the front and will bug their mums to get it for them even though they have the original Red or Blue game with the massive scary monster on the front. But once they get home they will be amazed by how little difference there is between their new game and their old, even though it comes out months afterwards and there is already two that are the same anyway.
So what is the difference, well to say the truth not much at all! Once you put in the game you can see it is aimed at Pikachu as he surfs up and down a wave. And the game is subtitled ‘Special Pikachu Edition’. The world is exactly the same with almost all the same people and buildings and all the same monster in all the same places. New things include some monsters posing in a different position when you battle them, people giving you original starting pokemon to make it easier and Pikachu follows you around when you are carrying him. Now wait a minute what was that last bit! Pikachu follows you around and you can turn around to see if he is in a good mood.
Q. How many of you who have Pokemon still have Pikachu in your six pokemon you can carry.
A. Well not me and no one else seems to. Although I did but took him out, as he was rubbish against Brock on the first city. And I later got Raichu instead.
And so after one city the main feature in Pokemon Yellow is disabled as he is not a good enough Pokemon to survive the journey or you evolve him. That’s it! no Mewtwo following you or any other monster but Pikachu.
So guys and girls do not be fooled for the cute Pikachu or the ‘New Release’ sign in your local store as it is not new or different in any way, its just easier with a few little useless extras. If you have not got Pokemon yet then get it but if you have wait for Gold and Silver versions at Christmas as they are totally different with 250 monsters and a new world. Or wait for new releases in the future because as the way things are going Nintendo won’t run out of colours for pokemon games.
And remember don’t be fooled this game isn’t any cuter, you will save 25 pounds!
That's enough of that!
Another mystery is why on Earth do we all like this game so much? Who knows! Alright, I admit it, I worship this game, but I haven't a clue why! Surely it's just not me. But come to think of it, all that I have got out of this game, is many severe headaches and sprained eyes.
So in conclusion, I think that this game is without a doubt, very, very, EVIL!!
I've got to go, my eyes are starting to hurt again, chau!
