Product Description

Pokémon Green, which was recently available only in Japan, differs from the more familiar Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Red in only two ways: there's a slightly altered mix of rare Pokémon, and the game is in Japanese. Parents, think of this game as a way to motivate your children to study the Japanese language. Actually, the idea isn't that far-fetched: kids who've mastered Red or Blue will know the game's plot--collect all 150 Pokémon and become a Master Trainer--and will recognize all the Pokémon by sight, if not by name. Educational interests aside, just think of how cool it is to train a native-Japanese Pokémon. And think about how impressed other Pokémaniacs will be! --Michael Fehlauer

So far it's very similar to the U.S. Red and Blue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2015

Good game so far, it's just like the american versions, when you pick a Pokemon, your rival chooses its weakness (since this is green I picked bulbasuar and the rival chose charmander) I lost the first fight he kept going first with scratch and once he used growl 1 time my attack was very weak against him, I remember always in U.S. Red and Blue always winning (still own a copy of Blue and months ago I won the first battle easily) The plot for green seems the same, I know only English and Spanish, my Japanese is horrible so every time I see the Japanese texts I have no idea what it's saying. I noticed the best way is to try each move, save the game before you pick up an item and teach it to your Pokemon, save it after leveling up once or save it after leveling up a few times so when it learns a new move and it already knows 4 of them, you can see if it was worth teaching your pokemon and what the move does

So far I like it, I didn't get it for the lavender town rumor, you can just go on YouTube and listen to it with headphones to see your opinion.

It's funny cause since I knew this game was coming in the mail, last night I was playing Pokemon Blue with my headphones on, while playing pushing a boulder thru a hole in floor on Victory Road (on the bicycle) the bike music was still playing, and went back on the bike and pushed the Boulder and it was a random pokemon cry that sounded very funny (bugged out for a second lol) but I searched online and it's a glitch in victory road

Honestly didn't get this game for the lavender thing, if supposedly you get headaches and nose bleeds then go ahead and bring pain to yourself, I'm playing this game to see the difference between the american versions. The game is very similar, but it seems like they level up fast, and reading info about his game it seems like a lot of pokemon evolve faster.

If your a fan of Pokemon, and want to see the original roots, get this game!

If you never played Blue or Red, or at least Leaf Green or Fire Red, then you'll probably have a hard time knowing what to do in this game if you cannot read Japanese...

Overall, great game, 9.5/10 rating

AWESOME! (I have recomendations for buyers)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2015

This. Is. AWESOME! Any huge pokemon fan will love this 'first-ever (unedited may I mention) pokemon game'.The product came very early vs. What it said it'd be here by. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and inside a "small" bubble wrap case. I'm not Japanese, but it's not much of a challenge of you already know the plot of pokemon red, blue, green, (maybe) yellow, fire red and leaf green. I know what almost all the important character a lines but most importantly the plot. I'm on my way to Misty's gym right now and I got the game yesterday. For some reason Charmander evolved very fast compared to my American Red version. Plus its interesting to hear the music changes from Japanese to American. It's also intresting to see the sprite differences. The hardest thing to do in this game is learning what moves are what, what products are what and maybe naming your character/pokemon. But again, if you are familiar with the other pokemon games I mentioned, you'll learn what the products are quick (though you won't know the Japanese) and its good to change how many you get of which item (ex. 4 pokeballs, 3 potions) and/or buy one and see what it does. With moves on pokemon you should test new moves on wild pokemon and learn what the animation is like to compare to the games I mentioned. I think most evolve, gain experience and moves with the same timing as the American versions. I have yet to see how bad the Lavender Town ("syndrome"**) music is (**if you know it has very high pitched noises to "invoke scared-ness" - it could give headaches if you CAN hear it). Maybe I'll come back with some more updates as I play.

Among my top recommended.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2021

I only have one complaint, and to be honest it could just be the type of Gameboy I’m using (Advance SP) so it really has nothing to do explicitly with the product. This game (alongside a few others, GBC and GBA alike) have had issues where I pushed the cartridge in all the way and it didn’t read the game properly. My quick fix to this has always been to jostle the cartridge just a tiiiiny bit away from the Gameboy. Nothing dangerously concerning.

Anyway, the game works perfectly and the copy I received was indeed authentic and not some cheap replication. Always good to be able to trade with other games (WITHIN ITS REGION. Do NOT trade with a US cartridge, you will brick both games and they’ll be completely useless.) 10/10 Would recommend while the prices for the real things are still low!

Excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 31, 2018

Arrived sooner than expected, had to clean the contacts at bottom to get it to work (hence four stars). But it is a 20 year old game!

Me and the Wife are learning Japanese(plodding along at roughly upper beginner level) and IMO this is a great learning tool for someone at our level. There is no kanji, Lets you take aslong as you want to consult a dictionary and you have probably already played pokemon before so understand roughly what is going on anyway.

Game was delivered fast but you can't Save! Battery in the cartridge needs to be changed I think. Don't buy this game

Funzionante e in ottime condizioni

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on November 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Il gioco è pokemon verde in lingua giapponese per game boy. È spedito dal Giappone e si presenta nella sua scatola con libretto di istruzioni, una custodia in plastica per il gioco e il poster di kanto; il gioco è funzionante e presenta il salvataggio del precedente possessore (come da descrizione il gioco è usato), la batteria è funzionante e infatti è possibile ricominciare il gioco e salvare tranquillamente. Il pacco è arrivato puntuale e il venditore (Ebichu ^0^ Trading) risulta essere molto affidabile. Assolutamente consigliato!

Al parecer todos juegos de GameBoy son RegionFree, así que a pesar de estar en japones funciona en mis consolas europeas.
