Pokémon Blue Version is a Pokémon game only released in Japan for the Game Boy. It was originally only available to subscribers of CoroCoro Magazine in 1996, and was later released for retail sale in 1999. It contained many graphical and coding updates over its predecessor, Pokémon Red and Green. All of these improvements were then used in the international releases of Red and Green, known as Pokémon Red and Blue.

Blurb

You've finally been granted your Pokémon trainer's license. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect 150 Pokémon in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute Pikachu. Face off against Blastoise's torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing Pidgeot's stormy Gust. Trade with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important--no single Pokémon can win it all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight GYM Leaders and become the greatest Pokémon Master of all time?

Story

Like all main series Pokemon games, Blue features a young boy on his journey to defeat the eight gym leaders and the Elite Four in order to become a master. You start in Pallet Town where you will meet Professor Oak, and choose from one of three starter Pokemon. Later Pokemon will be available for capture later on the journey.

Gameplay

The Pokemon games are different from most RPGs by the fact that you must catch your "party" to battle other Pokemon. You may run into other trainers who will demand to fight. Winning fights against other trainers will give you money. In a couple of towns, there are gyms where you must defeat the gym leaders. Defeating a gym leader will earn you a badge. There are eight badges in all. Earning all eight will unlock the Elite Four. Defeating the Elite Four and the Champion will have you become the Champion and win the game.

You can also trade Pokemon with your friends using a link cable. Each version has version exclusive Pokemon that is only in that version, and must be traded to get in the other game.
