Description of Pokemon - Red Version

But to catalog a Pok?mon, you have to capture it, by first beating it up with one of your trained Pok?mon, and then hitting it with an empty Pok? Ball. As your tame Pok?mon gain experience in battle, their abilities improve and they earn access to new attacks. Sometimes they even evolve into more advanced Pok?mon.

Aside from capturing wild Pok?mon and evolving your own, you can catalog new Pok?mon--the only way to gather some Pok?mon--by trading with another Pok?mon player using either a link cable or the Game Boy Color's infrared system. Pok?mon gained through trades learn and evolve faster, and trading is the only way to capture all 151 Pok?mon, since each Pok?mon game (Pok?mon Red, Pok?mon Blue, andPok?mon Yellow) has certain Pok?mon missing. So if you own Red and want to have a complete set of Pok?mon, you must find a friendly Blue or Yellow owner and arrange a trade.

Pok?mon Red is packed with interesting characters, an ingenious story hook, intriguing strategy, and of course plenty of cute Pokemon, and it's easy to see how it started the Pok?mania that is sweeping the world. --Michael Fehlauer
