PokeMon Game Ultimate Edition for Android on AppBrain

Take some time and reminisce. Remember those days when you used to battle it out against friends via linkcable? What about those days when you tried to catch Moltres but ran out of Pokeballs? Anyone remember Mew and MissingNo? lol..

If you grew up during the 90's like me, you'd certainly know about Pokemon. Pokemon is short for "pocket monsters" which originated in Japan. Pokemon is a monster catching/battle game based on the manga and anime. During the 90's, Nintendo released the blockbuster hit games, Pokemon versions Blue and Red on the Gameboy handheld. Throughout the years, Nintendo and Gamefreak released many more versions of the game which followed the anime series. To this day, Pokemon still remains hugely popular.

For any Pokemon fan with an Android phone, I suggest giving this app a try. The app is called Pokemon Game created by XDA member, Jeno Manickam D. This game is a text-based RPG that follows Pokemon Red and Blue version quite closely. In other words, you won't see Gameboy animations but you will be able to fight gym leaders and heal your Pokemon when it gets hurt. It's almost like a Pokemon "lite" tribute. 

Some of the features found in this game are: 

-8 cities (Gym leaders and Elite Four included)

-58 Pokemon to catch

-PC box to store unused Pokemon

-Pokecenter and Pokemart

-Save and Load options

-Ability to catch and tame Pokemon

Oh look Pikachu..I chose Charmander as my starter hehe

Overall, I find this game to be quite entertaining.  It is almost reminiscent of the original Pokemon games found on the original Gameboy. This game is considered a Beta version so there may be a few bugs found throughout. Also, names of the Pokemon have been altered to avoid copyright issues. It can be a bit difficult when battling at higher levels. The game itself can be a bit repetitive because of grinding to the next level but then again, all Pokemon games require some grinding ;-P 

Check this app out. It's free on the Android Market. If you're a huge Pokemon fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy this game.

You can also follow the development of this exciting app on xda-developers. From what I understand, the developer is working on another version that will include online battles and many more features.
