Replay – Pokémon Red
With Pokémon Go on our minds and in our pockets, we take a look at the game that started the catch 'em all craze.
Join myself, Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, and Game Informer's biggest Pokémon fan, Ben Hanson, as we play through the game's opening, discuss our nostalgia for the original, and remark on the absolutely insanity that is Pokémon Go. We've never seen anything like it before and are enjoying the bizarre global infatuation with the pocket monsters from the late '90s.
For the rest of the episode we look back at other Game Boy games, for a lesson on why licensed games are usually bad. For more Pokémon discussion, check out our Pokémon Spectacular episode of the Game Informer Show podcast.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
