Pokemon Silver

It's a fun game to own and play along with it's counterpart,Pokemon Gold. Only certain aspects of game play are negatives such as the time aspect and daily events as well as having to chase the legendary pokemon unlike in Pokemon Red and Blue. Missing certain events and having to wait literally a week sometimes to return to them is slightly annoying as is having to capture certain pokemon during specific times of day as they are in some cases specifically nocturnal or their percent in a given area is extremely low. Other than these things the game plays very well and the improvement to color from just a plain solid red or blue color is great. Seeing each pokemon in their given coloration is really nice. The added new types and moves are also a plus. Overall a well worth buy for a Pokemon fan.

This is definitely the best Pokemon game EVER. 4.7 stars.

I was so amazed at the night and day thing. The Pokemon were so so cute and I easily got attached. Me and my bro got this in October 2000 and we were so hooked!

I had Silver (the better one) and he owned Gold.

My favorite starter is definitely Totadile but I think that I picked Chikarita most of the time.

My favorite Pokemon in this game are:

Umbreon, Totadile, Sneasle, Dragonite, Staryu, Bulbasaur, Growlithe, Vulpix, Jynx, Tediursa, Espeon, Blastoise, Pikachu and Snorlax.

The Trainers in the game were Bird Trainer (I forgot Him), Bugsy the Bug Trainer, Whitney the Normal Pokemon trainer, The adorable Ghost Trainer Morty, Jasmine The Steel Pokemon trainer, the Fighting Pokemon Trainer, Pryce the Ice Trainer and the Dragon Master, Claire. >_<.

It's so much fun trying to train all of these Pokemon. Only the addicted Poke-maniacs will get to do it!

Bravo to the last great Pokemon title.

Ruby and Pearl were an embarrassment although Ruby's graphics improved over Silver and Pearl had the cutest addition to the Poke-Roster.

This is the best Pokemon game so far. You are a fool if you don't play this one first or next!

Batteries...Dead (INTERNAL) Batteries...

As many of you may already know, Second Generation Pokemon games (Gold, Silver, Crystal) use internal batteries to allow players to save data. The batteries in most of these cartridges are dead. If you're going to buy this game or any of the others, you should plan to have the battery replaced.

That said, if you can find someone or someplace to cheaply replace the battery, you should buy this game if you are even remotely interested in Pokemon. You should also buy it if you have an old Blue, Red, or Yellow cartridge lying around with your old data on it, and more than one Game Boy unit. You can trade all your old favorite Pokemon to the next generation (about mid-way through) and they will level up nearly twice as fast. You can also teach them new moves.

This game is almost twice as long as the original, because you get to go back to the cities in the original after you collect the first set of badges. It also has an internal clock, and some Pokemon can only be caught at night, in the morning, etc. It's a really interesting concept that more games should take advantage of.

Great Game and it brings back memories

I got this game for my birthday 6 years ago I mean it is still a great game to play on my game boy Advance because it's compatible which back 6 years ago I had a Nintendo64 transfer pak and I used both this game and the Transfer pak when I was playing Pokemon Stadium 2 for the Nintendo64. I mean I also had Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Crystal (the last game released for the Game Boy System). I mean now I am finally reviewing this game that my parents bought me 6 years ago on my birthday and I give this game a 4 out of 5!

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.

Out of all the pokemon games I have (Silver, Ruby, Saphire, Colliseom, Fire Red, and Gail of Darkness), this is still the best one yet. The graphics might not be the best, but the story is great. All the other games you can only be in one reigion, but in this you can go to Kanto and Johto. It is twice as long as the oyher games and you can catch 5 lengedary pokemon. In Johto, it has the same theme as fire red, so it is kind of like fire red and gold mixed together. Although it is like the two mixed the same their still are differences. It is the best pokemon game yet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pokemon Gold/Silver
By: Zike the Fox (Harrison)
Rated: E
Release Date: October 14th, 2000
Box Warnings: N/A
My Warnings: Psychics, dark powers

----

Story: 7.5/10

The as-always Pokemon story. You play as a Pokemon Trainer who's mission is to become the best Pokemon Trainer in the world. Thats all there is to it.

Graphics: 8.9/10

This game right here is a huge graphical achivement for the Gameboy Color. With animated battle motions, along with the great trainer and Pokemon sprites. I have yet to see a Gameboy Color game match this. Its that good. All I can say is that I was stunned when I turned it on. There is even a fully animated intro in the beginning of the game. Also, two warnings, there are a few psychic trainers in the game, and psychic-powered Pokemon. This seems to be the main problem with most Pokemon games, but I found few things wrong with it. I commonly use psychic Pokemon. There are also dark Pokemon and attacks. Although, its not nearly as bad as the psychics, and most likely will be ignored.

Sound: 8.8/10

Common Gameboy music. Although, so of the music is quite catchy (I'm very fond of the Pallet, Ecruteak, and New Bark towns music) and enjoyable. Sound effects, pretty good, actually. I like most of the Pokemon cries, and the sound of when you launch a beam attack. All in all, very good.

Gameplay: 9.3/10

Like most Pokemon games, the gameplay is phenominal. It can take you forever to TRULY beat the game (Finish the Pokedex). When you first start on the game, your asked to set the time, day, and if its daylight savings. What time it is makes a HUGE difference as to what you can do. On some days, you can get hair-cuts for your Pokemon. Other days, the Clefairy are dancing in Mt. Moon, and you can go and catch one, and, since the day and night also effect the time, you can only catch certain Pokemon at certain times of the day. Also, the battling also goes very smooth and is flawless. A large amount of stratagy has to be used in order to win a match (unless you have an insanely over-powered Pokemon). One of the big aspects of playing Pokemon Gold/Silver (or any Pokemon game for that matter) is trading Pokemon to another player (preferably with the alternate version from yours). You can also battle your friends the same way. You can even trade with people who are playing Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow later in the game. Its a great game for anybody to play!

Controls: 10/10

Aww, you know how Pokemon controls, and theres nothin' to it. Up, down, left, right, choose, talk, and no. Thats all there is.

Overall: 8.9/10

An overall wonderful game. One of the Gameboy's best games. IIt lacks nothing and I mean NOTHING! Its a great game worth playing, and anyone can play Pokemon. Good job, Game Freak!

Pokemon Silver

Having played every other pokemon version, Silver overall is a solid 9 out of 10. Compared to Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow, Silver and Gold are a serious improvement to the world of Pokemon. Almost all 150 of the original Pokemon appear once again in the game however if you intend to complete your Pokedex you will need an older version. A new generation of 100 new Pokemon make an apperance in Pokemon Silver, Gold and Crystal. Most of these Pokemon are brand new but some of the older ones are given new evolutions or can only be obtained through the breeder outside of Goldenrod. To get the most fun out of the game, you shouldn't worry about the completing the pokedex the first time around but by just training and battling your favorites. If you want to win, Dragonite is one of the best Pokemon you can raise if you're going for power. The second time around, get a decent walkthrough off the internet, buy or trade from Red, Yellow, Blue, Gold or Crystal and you'll have beaten the game overall. Here's a tip too, organize all of your PC boxes by type. There are 14 overall, 20 pokemon fitting in one box. So, I hope you have fun, Silver, Gold and Crystal are not too difficult and if you get stuck, consult the internet.

eh...

This game is a giant leap from the other game boy pokemon games. Everything in Red and Blue are twice as better in this sequel. Now you can get 16 badges and like twice as much pokemon as Red and Blue. This game is a little harder, three times as long, and more fun. You can do more things like breed pokemon, travel from one region to another, get on the boat as long as you want, and lots of other stuff.
