horrible
MY son bought this game a couple of weeks ago. He enjoys it very much but the problem is, he cant stop. He is refusing to do homework and obey me. I just wish i could give those pokemon creators a good slap on the cheek. Dont buy it. Buy it

You keep coming back to it even though it still feels the same
When Pokemon first came out, it became a huge phenomenon like the next Furby or Tickle Me Elmo. Like many of them, a lot of people didn't understand why was it so popular? I still don't but I like playing the games so that must be something. So far there have been 3 "tiers" to Pokemon. There will be a set of 3 games, followed by a new set and so on. So you had Red, Blue and Yellow, now we have Gold, Silver and Crystal. This is for the Silver version(which could also be the Gold one too).
Story: What little story you can actually come up with. Basic plot in one sentence: kid from small town wants to be Pokemon Master and collect gym badges and be the best ever. There might be small plot elements throughout the game but this isn't really something that takes you on a wild ride.
Graphics: It's Game Boy Color so it's not as impressive. Looks more like a colored Game Boy version. We do get Pokemon in color and their details are a little more refined but nothing big graphically and they usually are never.
Sound/Music: Sound pretty much comes from sound effects from battle moves and a Pokemon's cry. Music is okay, nothing instantly hummable but nothing chalkboard-like.
Gameplay: The big draw of the Pokemon games are the fact that there's so damn many of them. There's 251 of the creatures and that's not even before getting into the GBA ones which add another 100 or so. You collect them and train them so if you want all 250(the last one like last tier's Mew, Celebi this time, requires either a Gameshark or going to a Nintendo event).
The other draw, or setback depending on your circle of friends, is the fact that some Pokemon are only available in the version you bought and have to trade with someone who owns the other. So for example, in the one I bought, Silver, I have Weedle but I want a Caterpie but Silver doesn't have it, Gold has it. Why do I want a Caterpie? It evolves into Butterfly, to me more useful than Weedle's final form Beedrill. Ooh, speaking of which...
Certain Pokemon have evolutions. The most common way to get them is if you level them up to a certain level. Another is using a stone. Example being if you use a Leaf Stone on a Gloom it turns into a Vileplume, but using new Sun Stone turns it into new species Bellossom. There's even pre-evolved forms of favorites from last tier. Pokemon mascot Pikachu for example is form 2, his first being sickengly cute Pichu. Other Pokemon evolve when you trade with someone else, others need a special item and versatile Eevee gets 2 new forms.
Sounds like a lot of stuff already and I haven't even mentioned time specific Pokemon like nocturnal Hoot-Hoot who can only be caught at night. Or breeding your Pokemon with others to get different forms like Pichu. There's so much stuff in the game it takes a more fuller review to hit everything.
In a way it wouldn't make sense to recommend this since we have the next tier, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald out but it's still good game nonetheless, regardless of the cuteness factor.

Answers to above reveiw.
You dont need a dragon pokemon for the 8th badge. When you beat clair, she asks you to get the dragon fang, located in the dragon cave above the gym. you need surf and whirlpool to get to it. upon grabbing it, she will give you the badge. If you want a dragon pokemon, you can either fish for it in that same cave (use super rod) or buy it from game corner like i did early on.You get a dragonite by evolving dragonair at level 50 i think, but its not worth it, it just learns the same moves and gains more weaknesses. To beat the guy in radio tower, i assume you mean the fake director, just use strong pokemon. you see lance again as the champion when you defeat the elite four. beat him and you end the game and enter the hall of fame. You mean the waterfall? easy use the hm move waterfall on it and youll climb it. If you mean Lt.Surge in vermillion city, after beating the elite four, go to professor elm after he calls you and get ss ticket, then use it to sail to kanto from olivine city. then once there use cut on the bush next to the gym and enter to fight him.7 badges is good, but try and get all 8 then beat the game and continue to kanto. This is true, but it takes days to train a pokemon that much, and by lv.50 you have to be battling the elite 4's pokemon or it will gain 1 level every couple days because it isnt getting enough exp. If your pokemon are this low by now use the duplicate cheat explained later on. Having the bike is good, but by then you should have every hm, but shouldnt be able to use waterfall until beating the 8th gym.You can win without a dragon pokemon, their just more effective. Try using gyrados's dragon rage. itll help.You dont actully need one. Clefairy can, but dont use them up. You only get a few. OK. To duplicate have the item you want to duplicate held by a pokemon, which will also get duplicated.go to any pokemon center, walk to in front of the pc, save, go to bills pc and deposit that pokemon then change the box, except when it gets to the screen saying SAVING... DONT TURN OFF. turn off the power. turn it back on and you should have the pokemon in your party and the box. Its been duplicated. If you have further questions, e-mail taylorsteele@shaw.ca. your welcome.
