Game Boy Color gets Red and Blue monsters

They're here at last. After spreading across the world, Nintendo's Game Boy Color Pokémon monsters are finally being launched in the UK. You've heard of Pokémon, but what the heck are you supposed to do? Basically, you take on the role of Ash Ketchum, a young fellow who must catch and train monsters. Each category of monster is blessed with different skills and attributes.

Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Red are released on October 1 and the difference between them is that both have varying species of monsters. But it doesn't stop there, because Nintendo will be releasing a plethora of Pokémon games in the run up to Christmas, and some folk will undoubtedly buy the lot!
