I was a fan of Red and Blue (not especially Yellow), and then I saw this. I got it for a gift along with Prima's strategy guide (which by the way, is AMAZINGLY helpful) and I couldn't stop. My brother got Gold, and we trade all the time. Let me show you a list of Pros and Cons.
PROS:
-Excellent pictures
-Mystery gift (a feature where two people connect the black squares on the tops of two gameboy colors, use the Mystery Gift option, and each person gets a completely random item, like a Pokemon doll)
-Pokegear (includes a better Pokedex, cell phone, and radio)
-Lots of new Pokemon makes the game longer, more challenging, and more fun
-So many new moves and creative ideas (such as the eight new kinds of Poke balls you can obtain)
CONS-
-Mystery Gift is only for Gameboy Color, not any other gameboy (including Gameboy Advance)
-Once you get the first 8 badges in the Johto region, the Kanto region badges aren't even a challenge
-In Kanto, most of the major stuff that was in Red, Blue, and Yellow (like the Safari Zone, Team Rocket hideouts, and city layouts) are either gone or reduced
-Trading from Gold & Silver to Red, Blue, and Yellow can be a real pain
Although the cons may seem strongs, the pros outnumber them about 15 to 1. Trying to decide between Gold & Silver? The only real diffrence is about some of the Pokemon (some only found in Gold, some only found in Silver) and the order of which you get the legendary birds (in Gold, Ho-oh at Lv. 40, Lugia at Lv. 70) and in Silver, it's just the opposite. As for the Pokemon, if you've played Red and Blue, think of it this way. Gold kind of takes after Red, and Silver kind of take after blue. Between Red and Blue, what did you like? Think of it that way.
Now, between Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Krystal, it really depends what you like. Are you into classic, more basic, not-so-complicated-but-still-fun-games? If so, go for Red/Blue/Yellow. But if you like tough, new, complicated, super-fun games, go for Gold/Silver/Krystal. Or you can go for both (like me.)
Overall, Pokemon Silver (and Gold) are FABULOUS games. A must get for all gameboys. Oh, by the way, for anyone who was wondering, I've never played Krystal Version, so I avoided bringing it in my review. Hope I was helpful, and good luck for those playing.
This game is awesome

In pokemon silver and cristal, and gold you have a chose of your starter pokemon. Your choses are cyndaquil,chikorita, and totodile. I started with totodile and when it turned into feraligater it was so strong and when it was on level 100 it would not go up any more no matter what I did.I have beat the elet 4 27 times! I own 165 pokemon I also own all the starter pokemon. Here is some addvice if you are just starting the best one is totodile anyway tha is my opinyin.

It was a whole new world with 100 brand new pokemon.This is the best role playing game I have ever played! I would reccommend this game to any pokemon or role playing game fan. Since the new pokemon game is coming out on the 19th. I'll probobally buy it for sure since this was soo good.

I don't own this game but I borrowed it from my friend. Unlike Pokemon Yellow, Blue, and Red Pokemon Silver Version has awsome graphics, awsome color, and instead of only Canto leage like Pokemon Yellow, Blue and Red Pokemon Silver has Canto league and Johto league. Plus Silver Version has more Pokemon!
Best Game for Game Boy, in Fun and Graphic

This Game is the greatest!With real time function, and if parents say it is only fighting,(which is not brutal at all)they are wrong, because besides fighting you have to solve puzzles find the right time to catch Pokemon, have strategies for using items to make the time you have playing easier. The trainers you'll fight are much tougher and instead of getting only 8 badges you have to colect 16 badges, and really train you're Pokemon,because the strongest trainer has a Pikachu:81,an Espeon:73,Snorlax:75,Blastoise,Venusaur,and Charizad:77.
The Greatest Of All Pokemon Games!

This is actually 2 games in one! You first start out as a trainer from New Bark town and work your way through the land of Johto collecting Pokemon, earning badges, stopping bad 'ol Team Rocket, and hem you go to the Pokemon league. After that, you can travel to Kanto (The world from the origional pokemon games)and battle there! You get to go through the whole world in Kanto collecting Pokemon and earning badges. To travel from world to world (Kanto, Johto)you have to take a really cool train ride! Some pokemon only come out at night, while others only come out during the day! I would highly reccomend this game to anyone! It is the best one out there!
awesome

This is the best game in the world. This is probably the only thing I've been doing since I got it (except for homework). This game is better than poke'mon Yellow/Red/Blue. It's not just great because it's called poke'mon silver. On this game you can catch alot of cool new poke'mon. In this game you can also hatch an egg or breed your own poke'mon. It is not in the same world as poke'mon Yellow/Red/Blue. It is now in the Johto world and you can travel to the other worlds in the Yellow/Red/Blue which is called Kanto. I would reccomend this game because it is a great game for people who like the same things that I like.
