Pokemon Silver for Game Boy Color

Pros: Lots of different Pokemon. Along with Old friends
Cons: Children want to play ALL the time

Image my children's surprise on Christmas morning when they received not only Pokemon Gold but Silver also.... Now "I" know both games are kinda the same but to children they are 2 different creatures.

My 6 year old daughter told me the other...

Pros: Classic game play returns, challenging, many new options, playing field leveled
Cons: No Mew or Serebi, frustration can mount

You know, I thought I was finally safe from my hidden manias. I've beaten all the RPGs of import I've played recently, I handled a space shooter pretty well, and I even cleared through my retro gaming experience fairly well. What could possibly tempt...

Pros: Great gameplay, cool moves, cool new Pokemon, cool new features!
Cons: You are not allowed to buy stones to evolve your Pokemon.

The big Pokemon craze started back in 1998 here in America. It started with the television show, then the Red/Blue versions of the video game came out. Those two were hits. Everyone loved them, and after they beat them, they wanted other versions, or...

Pros: New Pokemon, New Features, New Gyms, More Fun.
Cons: This will have a severe impact on my schoolwork

So, last Wednesday, I got home from classes, changed into my sweatpants and comfy shirt, and sat down to watch TV.

Then, the phone call came! Electronics Boutique was calling to tell me that my copies of Pokemon Gold and Silver had come in,...

Pros: new pokemon, clock, pokegear, pokemon breeding and much much more
Cons: they kept the battle music the same, and the color looks anything but great on a super game boy

Last week I finally caught all 150 Pokemon in my yellow Pokemon game pack, and got the certificate from the programmer in Celeadon city to prove it. That day my paycheck came in and I went out to my local wal-mart store and bought Pokemon silver.
...

Pros: Fantastic graphics for the Game Boy. Extremely detailed and well-designed game with lots of puzzles to solve, items to find, people to talk to, and Pokemon to capture. Appeals to people of all ages. Has something for everyone.
Cons: You will have absolutely no free time, and will have to play it every day for at least a week to get all of the special items. You will go through dozens of batteries. And you really need someone with Pokemon Gold and link cables, if not more than one pe

I truly did my best to avoid Pokemon. After all, as a mom, I know well the dangers of bringing anything Pokemon into the house with a seven-year-old: immediate addiction, and an amazingly huge desire to 'catch them all' - both of which are hard on the...

Pros: new pokemon, new adventures
Cons: More gimmicks for Nintendo to make money, and less substance for our dollar

Gotta Catch’em All! That’s the battle cry of all
young poke-maniacs, and my son Allen is no different. We
first read about Pokemon Silver and Gold a year before it
was introduced to America. Both my son and I (Yes, I have
been...

Pros: best game on GBC. nice graphics, deep gameplay
Cons: none

On October 19th, Nintendo released their best game ever for the game boy color. With past success of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow, they had high hopes for their soon to be released Pokemon Gold and Silver. As they had expected, when these two games were...

Pros: New Pokemon, new features
Cons: You still need three different games for the whole experience (ex. Red/Blue/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Platinum)

I was trying so hard to kick my Pokemon habit. I have been a fan since before the whole phenomenon hit the U.S. and became mainstream entertainment.

It was very hard. Seeing as I had a lot of the games for both Game Boy and Nintendo 64, along...

Pros: new pokemon, better color, more in-depth game play
Cons: none I can think of right now

My husband purchased both Gold and Silver for me, because he knows well my secret manias, and then he kept gold for himself. I had already become the baddest pokemon master in red, blue, and yellow, with a full pokedex. I wasn't sure what to expect...

Pros: 251 Pokemon, More complex. Better than the originals.
Cons: Need the other games to get all 251, Older gamers might still be detered because of its cuteness.

Imagine yourself as a youngboy growing up in the mystical world of Pokemone. You talk to the local professor and he gives you a pokemon to set off on your journey. Where your rival and the world awaits.

Pokemon has very simply gameplay, use...

Pros: Exciting, New Features
Cons: Keeps kids up late

Many people worry that the new Pokemon Silver/Gold games will be boring, repetitive, and basically nothing new. While certain things do remain the same, the newest releases in the Pokemon role-playing series are definitely a step or three up from the...

Pros: New pokemon, the clock, same battle system
Cons: bland world compared to the first games, waiting a whole week if you miss and event on a certain day

If you've played the red and/or blue versions and are a pokemon freak, chances are, you've been anticipating this. I'm sorry to dissapoint you poke fans, but this is lacking compared to the first ones. First of all, I didn't like the world (where you...

Pros: Came with the Game boy!!
Cons: Not compatible with Pokemon Stadium

My son has had the game Pokemon Stadium for awhile now, and I noticed one day that you can't use all the features of the game without a game boy version of pokemon. I found a really good buy (at costco) on a gameboy color that came with the pokemon...

Pros: Funner and More Challenging than Red or Blue
Cons: Just might need a cheater book

My 7 year old daughter received this version from "Santa" this year and cannot put it down. She has the red and yellow version and according to her "this is the best one they made". The new characters are a real hit, since she knows the originals by...
