Nope. I couldn't find a copy anywhere, so I just played it in an emu.

Never have, probably never will, but it would be pretty cool to play it since it, along with japanese red, were the first two pokemon games made.

I so agree with you, I always wanted to play Green, but I don't understand a word of Japanese at all, Leaf Green was nice, but it isn't the same :(

Played all 4 versions of generation 1 games. Feels so good owning these games, especially the Japanese version of Pokemon Blue.

GalacticGlameow March 25th, 2013 9:16 PM

I own the English versions of Pokemon Blue and Yellow for my GameBoy. I don't know why I have Blue instead of Green. XD Bulbasaur is my favorite starter. I love the original Pokemon games because they have the most familiar characters and aren't so confusing.

I really want to!!!!! But the cartridge, but sadly I don't think that will happen!!! D: first there is finding a copy, then convincing my mum to pay (because it won't be cheap, and how can I convince her to buy a game in another language which will eventually die cuase of the save battery) who knows maybe if I ever go to Japan.....

ABGamer April 9th, 2013 7:21 AM

the cartridge version of green: no, on an emulator I tried but just couldn't do it and kept sending out the wrong pokemon.

Kiriyuuki Kasuna April 9th, 2013 2:56 PM

I indeed did and yep it was horribly translated (Fan translation btw) and the sprites were just creepy and terribad. But on the other hand it was funny reading some of the text like "Omni-Potent Ball" and "Oter"

So there you have it.

I played the original green then choved my arm down my throat because the lavender town music was so high pitched and I died...
Then I got resurrected by letting a channeler have a litre of my blood.

Nope never did, but i think im gonna have to try it... might be difficult because i have no idea how to read Japanese.

Katie_Q April 13th, 2013 5:28 PM

Nope. I have one being sent to me soon that I got on ebay. Assuming that it's not fake. And hopefully the battery's not dead, otherwise I'll have to replace it. I've never really played the 1st gen games. Only a little bit of Red, and then firered and leafgreen. I did play a japanese version of pokemon gold once and it was pretty confusing, but hopefully I won't have too much trouble.

Varion Bluefire April 13th, 2013 6:35 PM

A couple mates had it when they attended college with me, they had completed it, regardless of being in Japanese, but I suppose if you know your 1st Gen you can do it regardless of language.

Unknown# April 14th, 2013 12:33 PM

I have played it, and beaten it. I don't know how to read Japanese, but if you've played a Gen 1 Pokemon game before you can get through Pokemon Green. I got Green version awhile back at a garage sale along with the Japanese Red and Blue versions.

Cheshireson April 14th, 2013 5:06 PM

No, I can't say I have ever played that one. I have Pokémon Red and Blue, however, and I have read that the Japanese Green version is the same as the North American Blue version.

Rai April 16th, 2013 8:41 PM

No, I have never played the original. However, I do have a fake version of it x3

Hidden Power May 5th, 2013 12:20 PM

Yes, I have already played Green, but never finished it. Japanese language is very boring. I don't even reached Brock's gym.

YOLTMayne May 15th, 2013 5:26 PM

I've have green. The sprites are so bad! Have you seen Mews sprite in Green? Ewwww.

blue May 16th, 2013 6:58 AM

I met someone on holiday who had Green Version, I played it briefly but I didn't really like it compared to Red, Blue and Yellow back then.

xGal May 17th, 2013 8:44 AM

I'm playing that right now on my Samsung Galaxy :D
It's awesome!

Musica May 17th, 2013 9:34 PM

I played the one with crappy English translations. I was a kid when I played it, but I knew how to speak English well (English isn't our native language). It was good, if you didn't count crappy English.

sanny the hedgehog May 17th, 2013 10:17 PM

Alas, I have not. But I wish I could. Although, I feel like it'd be a whole new game with just the Japanese text and different sprites.

Sirfetch’d May 29th, 2013 11:54 AM

Never have and I never plan to. I don't want to play a game that I cannot understand.

lmcde22 May 29th, 2013 8:01 PM

it's the only main game i haven't played yet :( I know there are roms around but it's not the same... I could get one if i wanted to but it's not on the top of my priorities list.

MrElephant June 18th, 2013 8:13 PM

I have played the game because I own all of the pokemon games... (Kind of a collector I guess)

Eruption June 19th, 2013 6:58 AM

I didn't know it existed until about three years ago. It does make me wonder how Japan fell in love with such an ugly game, Red & Blue have their imperfections, but Green is on another level. I personally wouldn't want to play it since I can simply enjoy the horrific sprites by finding them online.
