It is better than everything that is Pokemon for Game Boy but much much much much more complicated.You have to deal with eggs, phones, time and much much more! It is harder than all the other games and much much likeable!
THIS GAME IS THE BEST RPG IN THE WORLD!

This is the bomb! 100 new Pokémon, hidden secrets, breeding, day and night, new characters, new cities, and so much more! You get double the value in this game! You'll still be able to play in Kanto, the Pokémon world of Red/Blue/yellow! Bring it ON!

Pokemon Silver/Gold versions are improved versions of red/blue/yellow. There is a built-in clock to moniter the night/day cycles, so you'll have to stay up late to catch nocternal Pokemon. Also included in the game is 8 new gym leaders. ...
Ultimate buy!!

This game, even though it is not as good from a playing perspective as Red, Blue, etc. it is the ultimate buy. It has great features such as miniature puzzle games, the ability to go to the old towns and some cute new Pokemon. It has more game play than it's original counterparts and the ability to be called at any point in time makes for an interesting feature. Also to correct a previous review, you can't use a skateboard instead of a bike. (Unless I haven't gotten that far) Correct me if I'm wrong.
Best Pokemon Item Yet

Lots of people say that they played it in english, but it hasnt even been realeased in th us yet. I bought it in Japan. It is real easy and fun. The only part I hate is that Lugia is real hard to get. It also has a Pokedex of over 250 pokemon. Mewtwon and Mew arent in the game, but you get Togepi, even though you have to hatch him. And what is real cool is that to evolve it, you have to use it a lot. IT IS THE BEST. I RECOMEND THIS GAME TO EVERYBODY.
Good game

Pokemon Silver is the newest addition to the Pokemon series. It has the same gameplay as the original and has over 100 more pokemon. This game would have gotten a higher rating if it was the only Pokemon game to come out. Unfortunately, it's similar to the other Pokemon games making it repititous. If you aren't a crazed pokemon fan then don't get it. If you are then I highly reccomend it, as it will give justice to the Pokemon phenomenon.
GREAT GAME! MUST BUY FOR POKEMON FANS!

You may know about the original adventures through Kanto, and the advanced adventures in Hoenn, but no reigon doesn't have nearly as much thrill and excitement as Johto in my opinion. Johto is a vast land with 251 different Pokemon to catch and raise, and many have forgot about it since is has not been imported into a game for the Gameboy Advance. And with the reigon of Sinnoh just around the bend, it may be forgotten even more. But those who have stuck to the series for as long as the franchise started, Johto will never be forgotten.
From Chikorita to Celebi, there are 100 brand new types of Pokemon just waiting to be caught. And as a trainer, you try to get all 251 Pokemon and fill your Pokedex!
The Good Side: First off, there's just a plain obvious reason Gold and Silver is so good: 251 Pokemon. Second of all, the Safari Zone is no longer in progress. This may seem bad for some of you and I respect that. But if there's one Pokemon you've just wanted to nab in the Zone, say Tauros, Scyther, Chansey or Pinsir, you'll be pleased, as you can catch all of 'em without the fear of them fleeing battle within one or two turns. They're wild. And with the Time Capsule, you can just nab it and send it to your Red, Blue or Yellow Game. Next up is the Bug Catching Contest. Ever wanted the Bug Pokemon from the Red/Blue series you just have been dying to get your hands on? Well with the Bug Catching Contest, it's possible! Not only will your Pokemon gain experience like normal, but you get to keep the last Bug you ctach. You've got 20 minutes to find and catch the best Bug you can get. If you get first prize, you'll win the Sun Stone! This is also a great way to get powerful allies like Scyther and Pinsir on your team.
The bads: There's only one thing I have to complain about. THE POKEMON ARE TOO HARD TO CATCH. I used Scyther's False Swipe to get a Farfetch'd down to one HP, and it took me 5 Great Balls to catch. Yea. And last time I caught Moltres with my first Ultra Ball. Not happenin' now, I'm afraid. O well. It's not impossible to catch something.
Conclusion: If you're a fan of the series, you'll love this game! And if you aren't, this is the perfect way to get you interested.

Pokemon Silver along with Gold are the best Pokemon Items Yet! They are in color and are really entertaining. Any Kid who likes Pokemon will love this game. And if you already have this cool game than here are a few tips: you get Sneasel by Silver Cave, at night. Go fishing at fishing spot with SUPER ROD,in Gold,to get Quilfish. To evolve a Chansey, keep it very happy by giving it HAIRCUTS. As I said it's a great game and it's worth the money...30 times over! Get this game if you like Pokemon!(By the way, you find Gastly in Tin Tower at night)
