Model: Pokemon Silver Platform: Game Boy Color Publisher: Acclaim Entertainment Inc. Studio: Acclaim Entertainment Inc. Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: 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:

 Rating:  - Pokemon SilverIt'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 ... Read More Rating:  - 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, ... Read More Rating:  - 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, ...

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 ... Read More Rating: - 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 ... Read More |
