One, Two, Pikachu
Three, Four, Bulbasaur
Five, Six, Vulpix
Seven, Eight, Raticate
Nine, Ten start again.

He loves playing on Pokemon Stadium and has defeated a lot of the GYM trainers. The game is obviously aimed at the 6-12 age group and I think it is a perfect game for them, as they can become their favourite Pokemon and battle against their friends.

First there was the TV series, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. Then out came the pokemon trading cards and then the cuddly toys, etc. etc.
Then out came Pokemon stadium and then Pokemon yellow exactly the same as Pokemon red and blue, but you control Picachu. Now Pokemon Gold and Silver are set for release - exactly the same gameplay yet again with the same Pokemon 5 or 6 extra new ones!! What is the point in realeasing it. This pokemon craze thing is bringing in so much money and is mostly aimed at the children who are venrable and therefore are easily persuaded to buy these Pokemon products. This Pokemon thing is now going a little too far, the market is flooded with it and not only the real thing, but also many fakes. Prices of the so called 'RARE' cards are soaring through the roofs - i saw one selling in a shop for Ł115 the other day (i am not kidding) and some kids actually pay this price for a little piece of car with a picture on it. What is the point?

The sims is a new genre to the games industry. I have not been a fan of all the previous 'sim' games as they are basically all the same. I preferred the 'Theme' games as in Theme Park and Theme Hospital but with this new sim game it changed my views of these series of games completely.
The ability to create a family and a house and then run the lives of the family is amazing, with so many different combinations to try and test it is a game that will keep you occupied for ages, all your spare time will be spent running or ruining these little sims lives, and its challenge is sometimes so hard that you will find yourself caught playing it at 1:00) in the morning!
After playing this game for a couple of hours I realised how easy it was to get addicted to these sim games and am defiantly not going to miss out on buying simsville which is meant to be the next sim game in which you control a town.
Also the range of the furniture to put in your house is massive, from Bins to snooker table and from barbeques to jacuzzis and to top it all of the easy to use features just make this game a must buy!!!
This is certainly one game you will not want to miss.

Pokémon Yellow is basically the same as Blue and Red accept you have to have Pikachu at the start and he walks around with you......
Don't get me wrong all of them and excellent games probely the best Game Boy games since Zelda, However who would buy the Yellow version 8 months after the other two versions came out for the gameboy.....Its stupid!
But it works! So many people have bought the Yellow version of this game even know they all owned one of the previous two. All Three games have the same story, the same gameplay and the same Pokémon!!
Yellow has the special abillity to actually talk to the little electric mouse pikachu and also features the Duo of Jesse and James of Team Rocket but still that isn't anything special!!
Basically the team of Nintendo our cleaver people as they see the popularity of the revelotion of pokémon and they can release just about anything and it'll be brought by the "poké puplic"!
That is why Yellow was brought out 8 months later so when the craze calmed down a bit the Yellow version can put the mon's back on top again. Pokémaniacs will then purchase this game because of the fact you can have the most popular pokémon pikachu at your side!!
However the game is know different and people will get coned, with out even knowing it!!

When I first heard about Pokemon Stadium I couldn't wait until it came out because it looked excellent! How dissapointed I was. Sure the mini games are allright.......and they tried to jazz it up by including a transfer pak and telling you all the neat stuff about. The only I've got to say is that if you're gunna buy Snap then look at it very closely first or else you might be dissapointed too.
