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

The Pokemon games are famous for their large amount of monsters, and fairly in-depth. Pokemon G/S/C is no different, containing 251 different Pokemon to catch, this is truly a game to get your teeth into. The Pokemon series is probably the most popular RPG series on the handheld consoles, taking hours to complete each game. I have personally played this game for several hours and have yet to complete the game, which is rare in a handheld title, and thats just the story play, catching all 251 pokemon will no doubt take you longer. As always there are 8 gym badges that you can acquire in the 8 major towns, Pokemon G/S/C are also the only ...  Read the complete review

Pokémon Gold and Silver (GB): Pokémon 2.0! (520 words)
by - written on 11/09/09 (Very useful, 13 readings)
Rating:

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

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
