Pokemon Green

Game Details:

As one of the two original versions of the first generation, "Pokémon Green" shares most of the plot and system with the Red Version. Players start from Pallet Town, choose Bulbasaur as their initial Pokémon, and engage in a lifelong competition with their rival. The game uses a turn-based battle system, where players capture wild Pokémon, train their team's levels and skills, and gradually defeat the eight Gym Leaders across Kanto, ultimately challenging the Elite Four and Champion. The Green Version has some Pokémon that cannot be captured in the Red Version, such as the complete evolution line of Venusaur, while the Red Version has monsters missing from the Green Version. This version difference promotes the use of the trading function. Although the game is simple in terms of pixel graphics, music, and system, it laid the core framework of the Pokémon series.

Editor's Recommendation:

If you're a fan of the Pokémon series, the Green Version is an excellent entry point for understanding the origins of the series. It not only showcases the original gameplay and design philosophy of the series, but also has unique Pokémon distribution, making the collection process more challenging. Although it is relatively simple in terms of graphics and operation, its pure sense of adventure, strategic team composition, and the social fun of "trading with friends to collect" are still memorable today. For nostalgic players, it is the best choice to relive childhood memories; for new players, it is an important work for understanding the roots of Pokémon culture.

Game Walkthrough:

To complete the full Pokédex in "Pokémon Green Version," players need to take full advantage of version differences and the trading function. First, in this version, give priority to capturing Pokémon exclusive to the Green Version, such as the Bulbasaur series, the female Nidoran series, etc.; while the Red Version exclusives, such as the Charmander and Mankey series, need to be traded with Red Version players. Secondly, using control skills such as "Sleep Powder" and "Paralyze Powder" in battle can greatly improve the capture success rate. For Pokémon with special evolution conditions (such as the trade-evolved Alakazam and Machamp), plan ahead for trading partners. Finally, in the early stages of the game, you can focus on training a multi-functional team to ensure that you can deal with enemies of different attributes when battling Gyms and exploring. Mastering these skills will allow you to complete the Pokédex more efficiently.
