What an odd playing experience coming back to this after so many years ago putting numerous hours into the game as a child.

The music instantly took me back and I remembered some of the weirder looking enemies. I don’t remember it being as short as it is however.

The difficulty spikes were intense; playing games nowadays with so many checkpoints and saves - I sort of take them for granted.

Identical to Pokémon Red but with slight changes to catchable Pokémon and other aspects.

Still a great nostalgia fix - decided to go through with different Pokémon to the ones I used in Red.

Dated graphics which is understandable from its release - but still a very enjoyable experience.

What a nostalgia trip - I played this when it first came out all those years ago and it still has a charm to me.

The graphics are obviously very dated and some of the Pokémon designs look like nightmare fuel.

The music is still memorable and going through it using Pokémon I haven’t really used before kept it a little fresh. It’s surprising how much I still remembered.
