So, today in this post I’ll tell you why you should try out one of the all time classics Pokumon Red.
And if you’re to go ahead, how you can play this game using working Pokemon Red Emulator. Now without saying anything else, let’s get started:
How to Play Pokémon Red on Android
It doesn’t matter where you want to play Pokemon Red as everywhere you would need these two things:
- A ROM file of the game. In this case, it was to set up Pokemon Red Emulator.
- And an emulator to run that original ROM file.
ROM
A ROM file is a collection of game data that is required to play any game you want.
In this post, I’m recommend you to play Pokemon Red using the emulator. So, you can do that by downloading its from file from popular emulator sites & then loading it up on the Emulator of your choice.
Now, that you know everything about the ROM file & its use, let’s find out you can use emulator with it.
EMULATOR
An emulator is a software where you can load up the rom file of a particular game you want to play.
You can use emulator on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac to play games of even discontinued gaming consoles like Gameboy, Nintendo DS, GBA & more.
Further, these emulators are quite helpful most of the pokemon games as they allow you to fast forward a game & when needed save it to a particular state.
Originally, when you play a game using the dedicated gaming console, there is no way for you save it in between the action happening around you.
Whenever you play a game on emulator, many users complain of how slow the game character talks or even moves.
Well, this issue gets solved automatically after using the fast-forwarding available in most of the emulators.
How to Get Old Pokémon Game ROMs?
I know most of the time you want to play classic old games to bring the nostalginc feeling back.
Well, there are many sites available on the Internet. However, before I share those websites with you, read the following disclaimer.
Disclaimer: ROM files that you don’t own and download from third-party websites are illegal and comes under Piracy.
Years after the launch of Nintendo gaming console, they have finally set a strong stance against using illegal rom files made for Nintendo games.
But I don’t think they can do anything major except blocking your out from Nintendo.
If you’re Ok with download the rom files, there are few things you should keep in mind before downloading them:
SELECTING THE REGION
Download only those ROM files that are tailor-made for your region.
For instance, if you’re from the United States, Japan or Europe, pick the rom file with a character (U), (J) or (E) in front of it respectively.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t use the Japanese Version of ROM in the United States. You can but the thing is it’s a waste of your Online Data if you don’t read Japanes language.
ZIP FILES
Whenever you download a ZIP file it comes packed in a ZIP file. So, don’t even try to download a rom file that’s available in either APK or EXE file format.
P.S. Such unknown files are used only to harm your device with Virus or Malware. So, always be aware of this before download them.
POKEMON RED FILE SIZE
The size of ROM files you download from the third-party websites depends on the age of that particular game and gaming console.
In case of Pokemon Red Emulator setup, the approximate size of ROM file is somewhere around 300-400 KB.
