Getting PKMN GREEN for Christmas!!

I'm getting Pokémon GREEN imported from Japan :D

This'll be great, since I'm studying Japanese, and the Pokémon games are all in hiragana (easiest to read Japanese writing system).. so that should be my way of playing while studying :3

Originally, there were only Japanese Red and Japense Green. Blue was the Americans' idea.. I guess they thought Blue was more suitable than Green, to fit with Red. And while they were at it, they had different sprites too. Don't know why..

..but yeah basically it's the R/B idea =) It was never released here, so naturally.. ..I want it XD
 
Ugh. Your eyes will burn out because of the crap sprites. ...Merry Christmas, anyways.
 
Yay for Pokémonretroness~ It has some pretty damn scary sprites, so keep your wits about you while playing it. XD
 
I thought the pokemon names were in Katakana?

Actually, Blue was Japan's 3rd version that had updated sprites and a slightly different battle system. Some of the layouts changed, but other than that it was the same. The US just decided to use Blue version as the core for Red and Blue, but with Red and Green's monster selection. Yellow was their 4th game and our 3rd.

Anyways, it is great that you are getting it. I have green too, but haven't touched it in a while since I couldn't read Japanese then. I know a little now, and I'm not that far away from completing it, so I should pick it up again.

Japanese Red/Green's sprites really aren't any worse than Blue's, overall... there's just a handful of really awful ones mixed in here and there, and those are always the ones people think of first.

Some of them aren't bad at all, though--there's a few that look a lot better than the Blue ones (Mewtwo, Magikarp, Psyduck, Koffing, and Weezing, for example.)
 
Awesome, the sprites are well...strange. If you want a look then look at some of the sprites...

Haha that Exeggcutor looks like a maniac XD

Good luck being able to see after three days of playing. Anyways, I have to agree with El Garbanzo, some sprites are... relatively decent. *looks at Articuno* CHICKEN
 
hehe I'm a HUGE fan of the earliest games, so naturally I want ALL of those :3 (including FR and LG.. since it's basically the same story up until the islands that were added)

And I'll wear sunglasses while playing, ok? :p
 
Some of the sprites are actually OKISH (notice the ISH).

Yeah, exactly. They're not ALL bad. ..although I must say I despise the Vaporeon GREEN sprite (>_@)
