    We've been to Kanto so many times that by now it has lost its charm. Sevii islands are a nice addition, but they feel empty and the lack of storyline revolving around them is disappointing.

    A great starting point for newcomers. Being my first Pokèmon game, means i have alot of nostalgia for LeafGreen. Its like all other Pokèmon games; Catch Pokèmon, wins gyms and become champion. The Sevii Islands are great post games activities, something newer Pokèmon games SORELY lacks.
    The game is overall good, but Kanto can be pretty boring ngl, even though it thankfully ain`t linear.    A great starting point for newcomers.

    The game is overall good, but Kanto can be pretty boring ngl, even though it thankfully ain`t linear. While they are pretty good games, there are others that are far better and with all the Gen 1 pandering that GF shoves down our throats, its become a region and generation i rarely goes back to visit.
    But these games are still great and the best way to play a Kanto game.    … Expand

    This game was built to appeal to both the veterans of the series and the new folks just itching to give Pokemon a try. It's a fair bet that the fans will get this game without much hesitation.

    If you like wasting small bits of time here and there with your GBA - and especially if you're new to the series - this is still the best thing you get get on the portable. [Nov 2004, p.134]
