Pokémon Gold and Silver (GB)

Pokemon Gold, one of the sequels to the original batch of games that set the world alight and spawned a whole new craze, is an easy game, much like it's predecessors. At the same time, it's also an impossibly complex game, which will stretch your imagination and encourage you to adopt and create Machiavellian strategies in order to dominate your opponent on the battlefield. Again, much like its predecessors. The main mode of the game is your basic tree-hugging, rival-beating storyline RPG. Most puzzles are easily solved, and are usually little more than variation on the tried and tested "trawl through a dungeon to get to the other side/find a key" ...  Read the complete review

Pokémon Gold introduced the second generation of Pokémon to the world - adding 100 new monsters to the roster. It expands on the RPG elements of the original series and introduces many new features. This game is massive. In all other Pokémon games, there are only 8 gym leaders and you're exploring 1 region. In Gold, you can battle 16 gym leaders and explore both the Johto and Kanto regions. In terms of gameplay time you could be busy for well over 40 hours or far more. Gold also introduces breeding - mating 2 Pokémon of the opposite gender to create an egg which hatches into a baby. This is a method to give Pokémon new rare moves or to create a new ...  Read the complete review

Finally the version of Pokemon is out but is it all great or just like the other ones before Red/Blue/Yellow. Well I can tell you it is nothing like the ones before (except from the collecting part) Pokemon Gold/Silver follows the old game off and includes many new Pokemon (100 more to be precise) These new ones have great names like Whopper and Lugia. There are many new items along the way and an entire new backpack so it is very hard to run out of space like the originals. In the backpack there is a special area for pokeballs (which catch pokemon), Items, and T.M’s (which are technical manourveres). There is now of a total New World and what comes with ...  Read the complete review

Pokemon. Pocket Monsters. They begun as a small (big-small) cartoon which set Ash, this young boy, on a journey to find 8 badges. Badges, yes. This also involved capturing 151 Pokemon in a pokeball. This is starting to sound weird, isn’t it? Well, no. It would, it’s just that everyone knows what it is. So, after the cartoon there was this Pokemon Red/Blue game. Then came along a load of sell out stuff, then Pokemon yellow, which is more or less another sell out cartridge, then even more sell out stuff (this includes clothing and bad sheets etc.). Then, some N64 games came, which sold well. Then another game boy game came along in the name of Pokemon Trading ...  Read the complete review

I played the Japanese version of Pokemon Silver about a 2 years ago now (December 99). I had no idea what the story line was, nor what half the moves did, but I still managed to complete the main section of the game!!!!!! SO in the course of this opinion, names will not be listed, because they tend to differ from the english edition - and I dont want to confuse you!! The introduction of the games are almost identical to the original Pokemon. But instead of Professor Oak, you have his assistant and instead of Squirtle, Charmander or Bulbasaur, you have 3 new pokemon to start off with - these 3 new critters are still from the same denominations of water, fire and ...  Read the complete review
