I have no major complaints here, simply the observation that the Game Boy was never intended to reproduce the power of an N64 audio system. Players are tasked with catching all 150 Pokemon in order to achieve the exalted status of Pokemon master. Along the way, you'll encounter boss levels. These translate as Gym leaders in the world of Pokemon. You pit the Pokemon you've captured along your journey against these boss level individuals gaining experience, money, and new Pokemon abilities as you progress.
Numerous opponents exist in the form of other trainers outside the competitive gyms.
These lesser challenges will still stretch your abilities and make for a rewarding gaming experience. The Pokemon themselves are creatively presented. Nintendo went to great lengths ensuring that the Japanese names translated well to their North American equivalents. The game is varied and surprisingly complex for something that every 8 year-old from here to Timbuktu seems to have mastered. Potions, poke-balls, special stones, badges, different cities, numerous environments, heroes and villains occupy the Pokemon universe.
