Pokemon GB Games - Zelda-esque?

[drumguy79]

I remember hearing somewhere that the Pokemon GB games were kinda like the Zelda GB games. Does anyone here know if that is true? I have no knowledge of anything Pokemon related, but if they have the same questing around type feel, I might be interested. However, if it is just Dragon Warrior type battling, then not so much. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

you heard wrong.Zelda and pokemon are way different from each other.Pokemon is sorta like dragon warrior but only more kidish not that i'm hurting anyone's feelings.

The best way to describe pokemon is as a linear, traditional RPG with a team of six characters out of a stable of X (x being up to 251 or whatever it's at now). The difference being that there are lots of collecting elements (duh), and the bestiary is a large focus of the game. You do run around in the game like you do in Zelda, but the battles are standard turn-based RPG faire.
