Whatever it is that draws people young and old into Pokemon obviously works, but even though Red and Blue got the series off to a great start, Silver and Gold is where the series truly lifted off
In case you aren't already aware: 2nd Generation Pokémon games (Gold/Silver/Crystal) have a battery inside the cartridge which keeps time and also allows the game to be saved
They were very popular and pokemon Gold and Silver was released in 2000 for the Nintendo Gameboy Color
If you have only played Red, Blue, or Yellow, let me assure you that Silver (and Gold) is a major improvement.
Silver also still has one huge advantage over all Pokemon titles before or since, and that is the inclusion of the 8 Kanto gyms from Red and Blue
It is a great game for anyone I think who likes Pokemon
There are differently colored pokemon (hard to find), you can let your Pokémon breed (yes, they lay Poké-eggs) and gain levels at the nursery, new gym leaders (also the original 8 for a total of 16), your mom will save your money and some of the people you've battled will call you to fight again or tell you abought Pokémon sightings
The dark and steel pokemon are powerful newcomers, so watch out!The end of the game was a complete surprise to me
I think shiny pokemon are the best improvement of this game

Steel types are not hurt as much, but Dark type pokemon are immune to all psychic attacks (Except Future Sight.
It introduced a new 100 Pokemon to this list and added Steel and Dark types
You will also notice two new types of Pokemon, Dark and
Steel types are also weak agains fire, and dark types are weak agains bugs (Except Houndour and Houndoom, which are Dark/Fire types).
New pokemon types include the Dark/Evil types and the Steel types which can unleash a major hurt on the once powerful Psychic type pokemon (MewTwo trainers: Watch out!)

Pokemon Gold and Silver is going to be the top-selling game on the Game Boy Color system, regardless of what this review says
Pokemon is not a fad, it's here to stay, and this new Game Boy Color series is only going to fuel the blaze of popularity further.

Featuring a new adventure that's filled with numerous enhancements and innovations, this long-awaited sequel to Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow greatly improves upon the series' winning formula, and makes for an even more insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience
Like Pokémon Gold--which essentially is the same story, with minor gameplay variations--Pokémon Silver casts players in the familiar role of a young Pokémon Trainer who's out to collect as many different kinds of Pokémon as possible
As in previous games, gameplay consists mostly of exploration (completing various quests in the process) and Pokémon battles, which employ a unique battle system that's like a complex twist on rock-paper-scissors
But, despite the similarities, it's quite apparent that Pokémon Silver is a whole new ball game from the start
The game is played out in real time, with the current time and day of the week (recorded by an internal clock) having a direct impact on gameplay elements, such as what Pokémon you'll find in the wild, and when certain events occur and characters appear
While there are too many new and improved features in Pokémon Silver to list here, among the highlights are 100 new Pokémon (including two new types), new evolution processes (including breeding), and a more streamlined game interface that has better-organized menus and button shortcuts
Although it's easier to progress in Pokémon Silver than in the previous games, the sheer amount of fun and game time that's involved is daunting
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better value than this one
--Joe Hon Pros: Insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience Time and day of week impact gameplay directly Bevy of new features and hidden secrets Improved graphics and more streamlined game interface Cons: Minor compatibility issues when using Game Link with previous versions
