Did you ever play the original green?
 
So I jsut found my old school Green version from back in the day. I was just curious if anyone else played this one. I know it is only in japanese but curious.

Sydian April 26th, 2012 8:08 PM

Never have. :( I want to though!! I love old games and I love Green sprites. They're so ugly they're fabulous. Plus I'm OCD about my main game collection and without Green, I feel really incomplete.

Same here! I haven't been buying any games lately (saving for a new gaming PC).

I have most of the main gen games, in English. I have Gold in Japanese, and I plan on getting one of each copy all the main series games in each English/Japanese, possibly moving on to European versions afterwards.

I have! My cousin had green. I wish I had it. I think he gave it away D:

I've only ever played the ROM version, and I think its awesome that you actually have the cartridge. But something that would also be super cool, is if an American actually owned a rare copy of the Japanese Blue Version.

I believe I played a ROM of the original Green that was stuffed in a fake cartridge that I bought on holiday in Spain. It definitely had a Yellow ROM (which I played before buying the real thing a few months later) but I'm pretty sure it had a Green one as well. Suffice to say, I can't really remember anything of it, unfortunately.

I've only played a ROM of Pokémon Green before. I did it for a Venusaur solo challenge and I finished it in a school day. It was really confusing with all the translations and character limitations.

voltianqueen May 1st, 2012 10:18 PM

I once played a weirdly-translated rom of it, but I stopped in Viridian Forest :|

I did see a Green cartridge for sale at an anime convention a few weeks ago. I would've bought it, but it was $30, so..

Yoshikko May 6th, 2012 9:51 AM

Nope never. Tbh I didn't even know Green existed until I was like..10. But I love all the Green sprites and I'd love to play it.

Now that the controversy with Sydian has been cleared :D :

If you want to try out Pokémon Green in English, just go here: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/876/

Note: This is a patch for a ROM of Pokémon Red, it's the same link I posted before.
You have to apply the .ips file contained in the zip to a clean Pokémon Red ROM, which you have to get somewhere else. To do so use "Lunar IPS" for example.

Been playing this, was gonna try and message the creator to see if I could get the ips. posted here, for what seems like such a simple a lot of work clearly went into this :)

I just played a japanese rom and I beat it awhile back. Nothing to special about it, other than the sprites.

Treecko May 15th, 2012 1:20 PM

I haven't yet. Someday I plan to even if I won't actually understand the Japanese.

PKMNTRNCha0tic May 16th, 2012 11:38 AM

I did but I stopped because I do not know japanese nor I plan to learn soon.

Kurui May 17th, 2012 12:17 PM

Green was my first ever Pokemon game. There are many memories in it. XD I never knew that there was a 'new green' and 'old school green'. I only knew of the first Japanese one until now.

Freako May 20th, 2012 2:14 AM

I don't see why I'd play a majorly text based game I can't even read.

Obix May 28th, 2012 12:35 PM

I didnt even know they made an actual green i was like 8 when they came out and all i remember was yellow red and blue

Come on, it's not like you need to be able to read Green to play it nowadays, you're bound to know the story.

Yeah I've got Green, it's fun because it's so terrible! It's quite endearing, and some of the sprites are just shocking...

Bika May 28th, 2012 3:06 PM

Only the rom, with the terrible translation. Recently I started playing the Japanese one.

The Fallen May 28th, 2012 3:48 PM

I was interested in playing it. However, I never truly pursued finding any means of being able to play it. Yellow was amazing enough to not really care enough to try out the Japanese's third installment.

Zucriy May 29th, 2012 4:33 PM

Green is good to own for pride and bragging rights only. Alot of the pokemon you can find in the international blue/red versions have to be unlocked through trading in green, such as Jinx. There's slight alterations in 2 maps, but that's a localization issue, not a difference in color as well as a few extra glitches.

bewbs May 29th, 2012 11:23 PM

I think I'm happy with my pokemon yellow. Although I've never played pokemon green.

Tru Eagle June 1st, 2012 2:42 PM

Yes. Confusing but awesome all at once.

hinkage June 1st, 2012 4:08 PM

I used the ROM to do the Dokokashira Door glitch, but I wish I had the real thing. \nerd

GameAce 92 June 13th, 2012 3:31 AM

I played maybe up to Pewter City, and just couldn't do it anymore. The sprites were horrendous to me, and everything was so poorly translated..it may have just been the version I downloaded. I'm gonna try out the above linked LIPS version.
