However, it should be noted that the use of this glitch can and corrupt your game irreparably if you decide to save after doing the glitch. Since GameShark codes aren’t available on the 3DS Virtual Console, this is only way to acquire Mew in the game. Thankfully because it is by and large a direct clone of the ROM from the GameBoy days, it is still possible to acquire Mew by various in game glitches. One was that you were able to catch Mew in the game. This is understandable since the game was already a tad unstable (see below) and allowing such an exploit to be carried out could seriously mangle the game.īearing in mind that the original game by and large predated the widespread use of the internet, two urban legends surrounded the game. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the circumvention of trading Pokemon over, but then ultimately keeping them at the same time. Nintendo have also opted to remove the save state functionality that accompanies other Virtual Console games. Whilst it would have been nice to be able to trade it directly over the internet, it is good to see that the trading aspect is still available in the game. In place of the link cable to trade Pokemon between games, you can now instead trade over a local wireless connection between two 3DS units. However, in place of this Nintendo have come up with a crafty solution outlined below. Sadly, you can’t do this like you were able to back in the old days via a link cable. I’d go even as far to say that it’s better than the latest Pokemon games, but of course that might be the nostalgia kicking in.Īs with other Pokemon games, a key component of completing it is to trade Pokemon with your friends. The game plays as well as it ever has and what on the surface seems to be a very simplistic game is one of the most deep and rewarding games that you can play on your 3DS today. Players that are newer to the franchise that perhaps didn’t grow up on Red/Blue/Yellow may gasp at the fact that there’s no running shoes in the game (these comments are actually already occurring online) but this isn’t really much to complain about. As the old moral goes, if it isn’t broke then don’t fix it. The gameplay hasn’t changed very much in the last 20 years, which is a great thing. In an ever expanding environment of games on Steam that are Indie developed and hark back to the simpler days of game graphics, its actually really refreshing to go and play a true retro game on todays hardware. That being said, it has actually aged extremely well and it does have a nostalgic charm to it when going back and playing these games again. In the case of Pokemon Yellow, the colour pallet functionality is there and it is emulated on the 3DS as if you were playing directly off of the GameBoy Color. In the case of the 3DS Virtual Console release, Pokemon Red and Blue are sadly only in black and white, which does take getting used to when you have previously played it on a GameBoy Color. With the case of Pokemon Yellow which was specially adapted for the GameBoy Color, the colour on screen depending on which town you were in as well as changing the colour of some Pokemon to better reflect their real colour as shown in the cartoon.
In Pokemon Red if you played it on the GameBoy Color then the buildings, Pokemon etc would be in red and the player would be in blue. On the original GameBoy, the game would play in black and white, however, if you had a GameBoy Color then there would be a palette applied to the game. This was in part due to the hardware available at the time. Pokemon was a very visually appealing albeit simplictic looking game. The thing is though, how does a game that is 20 years old hold up today?

The series was initially launched 20 years ago in Japan, but it wasn’t until 1998 that the games hit home in the US, and 1999 in the UK. The original Pokemon games (Red, Blue and Yellow) are now available for purchase on Nintendo 3DS in the NTSC and PAL regions.
