Hi, this is a game that has been around for a while now, I got it a few years after it's release and am still trying to beat Blue who you need level 80s and 70s to beat. When you start the game you go through the iconic starting procedure with all the basic mechanics and profile thingamadoohickers. then you launch in. The beginning of the game is slow but you need to have patience, in fact much more than in other games but once you get through that it's another game where FreeRoaming is limited but good for how far you are. There are no super hidden things so everything is challenging enough to be hard but simple enough to be a good game for a beginning Pokemon Trainer. Peace!
