Pocket Monsters Gin (Japan)

Since this is the Japanese version, all menus and dialogue are in Japanese. Start a new game by pressing Enter at the title screen after selecting はじめから (the first option, meaning 'start'). You'll choose a male or female character (yes/no prompts are straightforward if you recognize the kanji for boy and girl). The core loop is the same as any Pokémon game: talk to the professor in his lab to receive your first Pokémon, then explore the Johto region, battle wild Pokémon to weaken and catch them, train your team, defeat Gym Leaders for badges, and eventually challenge the Elite Four.
