Pokémon Gold and Silver are the long-awaited sequels to the original Red
and Blue Pokémon games. As you might expect, Gold and Silver take
everything from Red and Blue and make it bigger and better! Don't know
the difference between R/B and G/S? Well, here's some of the new stuff
you can expect to see...
A Whole New World: Pokémon G/S takes place in an entirely new
world, Johto, which is just west of Kanto, the world of Pokémon R/B.
You'll find eight brand-new Gyms in Johto, as well as lots of new
Pokémon.
Of course, later in the game you'll get the chance to explore Kanto
as well as Johto...
The PokéGear: This cool device contains your clock, map, cell phone
and radio. The clock and the map are pretty much what they sound like.
The cell phone lets you call various characters in the game and get info
about rare Pokémon, items, events, and other things. The radio can tune
into many different stations, some of which have info about Pokémon, people,
and places, some of which hold contests, and some which just play music!
Internal Clock: Probably the coolest new feature in G/S, the cart
actually has a clock built in that keeps track of real time. In other words,
if it's nightime in real life, it'll be nightime in the game as well. This
is important, because some Pokémon will only appear at certain times of day.
There are even events in the game that only occur on certain days of the
week - meaning if you miss your chance, you'll have to wait an entire week
in real time to try again!
New Types and Attacks: Remember in Pokémon R/B how Psychic was the
one seemingly unbeatable type? Well, in G/S there are all-new moves and
types that even out the balance somewhat. There are TONS of new attacks
in the game of all types (yep, now there are actually some GOOD Dragon type
moves!), and some of the old attacks have different effects. Of course,
there are new element types in the game as well - Steel, which is resistant
to almost every type but weak against Fire, and Dark, which is actually
IMMUNE to Psychic-type attacks!
NEW POKéMON!: Of course, the aspect of G/S that most people get
excited about are the all-new Pokémon! There are 100 brand-new monsters
over the original 150, with all new moves, types, and evolutions. Some
of the new Pokémon are new evolutions of old Pokémon (e.g. Bellossom is
a new evolution of Gloom), and a few are actually PRE-evolutions of
classic Pokés! Of course, most of the new Pokémon in G/S are entirely
new species, and just like in Red, Blue and Yellow, there will be some
Pokémon that aren't avaliable in both versions, so you'll have to do some
trading with other Gold, Silver, Red, Blue or Yellow games.
