Pocket Monsters : Red Version Game

Ah, Pocket Monsters: Red Version—the game that started it all and had us glued to our Game Boys like trainers to their Poké Balls! This 1996 classic isn’t just a game; it’s a nostalgia bomb that introduced the world to Pikachu, Charizard, and the thrill of catching ’em all. As a budding Pokémon Trainer, you’ll explore the pixelated wonders of Kanto, battle Gym Leaders, and take on Team Rocket’s shenanigans—all with your trusty starter (Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle—no wrong choices, just childhood memories).

What makes Red Version special? It’s the simplicity and charm that hooked millions. No fancy 3D graphics here—just addictive turn-based battles, a killer soundtrack, and that agonizing decision of which version-exclusive Pokémon to beg your friend to trade (looking at you, Scyther). Compared to today’s entries, it’s barebones, but that’s the magic: it’s the raw, unfiltered start of a global phenomenon. Still a blast to revisit—just mind the MissingNo. glitch unless you like chaos.
