Pocket Monsters Red Version is a role-playing game (RPG) released in 1996 for the Game Boy. Players embark on a journey to become the ultimate Pokémon Trainer by capturing and training various creatures known as Pocket Monsters. The main objective is to collect and evolve these creatures, battle other trainers, and ultimately defeat the Elite Four to become the Pokémon Champion.
The game's pace balances exploration, strategic battles, and collection mechanics, encouraging careful planning and resource management. A unique mechanic in Pocket Monsters Red Version is the turn-based combat system, where players select moves for their Pokémon to outsmart opponents. Additionally, the concept of trading Pokémon with other players using a link cable adds a social and cooperative element, allowing players to complete their Pokédex by exchanging creatures unavailable in their version.
Distinctive for its time, the game introduced the idea of capturing creatures in the wild and training them to grow stronger, blending adventure with collection. This mechanic has influenced many subsequent games within and beyond the RPG genre.
