You're a kid named Ash (which can be changed within the game, but for now, you'll be known as Ash), who dreams of being a Pokemon master. So, you leave home to fulfill your dream. You'll travel from town to town, defeating each town's Gym master with the Pokemon you've captured and trained, until you earn all the badges necessary to be considered a Pokemon Master.
Pokemon is a very traditional oriented Japanese RPG and overhead view, super deformed characters, tile-based dungeons, random creature encounters...the works. The appeal of Pokemon, however, is the sheer amount of personality in the game. There are literally more than 150 Pokemon to uncover and capture, and your collection becomes a status symbol and how many Pokemon have you found? Or, more importantly, how many Pokemon have you captured?
See, when you encounter a wild Pokemon, you must do battle with it and the only way to do battle with a Pokemon is with another Pokemon. Each of the game's Pokemon has its own strength and weakness, its own attack and defense capabilities. All Pokemon belong to one of fifteen categories, and some types of Pokemon can utterly destroy Pokemon in other categories such as Fire to Water, Water to Rock, and so on. It literally becomes a game of Rock/Paper/Scissors as you try and discover which Pokemon works best against others.
The quest is not extremely difficult, and in some cases it's very straightforward. Still, you'll have to learn strategies in battle to progress through the game, and which Pokemon you choose to train and evolve may affect your progress throughout the quest. Pokemon will literally take you at least 30-40 hours to get through, but that's just to finish the game. Even if you finish the quest, you still might not have all the Pokemon in the game. The challenge to catch 'em all is truly the game's biggest draw.
