PostedMarch 20, 2010
I love pokemon i grew up with it the very first time i could play video games i picked pokemon gold then I decieded to buy silver because i thought it was diffrent Silver and Gold were the same almost and i liked silver better so i bought SoulSIlver and i have to say what dosent it have i mean a new pokedex it has new touch screen features that are way diffrent than platnium diomend and peral and you have the option to cath Lugia and ho-oh in the game not only that but you can even get Kogre and groundon you can get groundon by getting SoulSilver and get kyogre by getting Heart Gold and if you get both games you can capture both of them if you trad groundon from heartgold to soulsilver you can get rayquazzya but for some reason it dont work if you trade it from GBA Emrald Ruby or Saphhfire.

Pokemon SS/HG

I have been a fan of pokemon for most of my life and this remake is unbelievable. The creators were awesome keeping the classic song making it feel as if you just went back in time during the good ol' pokemon days. At first you will think this game is so easy to beat, but in fact, the game gets harder and harder because you get to travel along not only Johto but the Kanto region! Where Pokemon First began. And as expected, You get to battle the very first Pokemon character ever introduced in the manga as a final boss, Red. The storyline is the same and pretty long. The 2D and 3D backround graphics are incredible! If you are new to pokemon games, and still aren't aware of the controls, then this game is perfect for you to begin with because as soon as you start the game, you get the options to choose wether or not youd like to learn the controls, it just takes an extra minute or so to read it over. Adding the new poke-walker is brilliant! While moving around getting fit, the same time you are making your own pokemon stronger! You can't customize your own character, but that isnt a big deal. The biggest problem for me when it came to HG/SS is choosing which game to choose!

A Game That I Fell For
PostedMarch 19, 2010
The makers of the whole Pokemon series have totally outdone themselves. They have put a new spin on playing this game. I was totally impressed on how they did this. They made the controls a lot more easy to use such as the Start Menu and the running shoes. Although using the running shoes can make pokemon appear more often, which can get rather tiresome a little. I love the graphics, and the whole look of the game. I like how they stuck to the origional storyline, and I just love how I can take my Pokemon with me! Thats why I bought the game. The interaction with any poemon that you catch caught my attention . If I could, I'd thank the developer for giving me a game I could actually enjoy! Thanks! Oh, I highly recommend this game for everyone.... That is if you love Pokemon.

For starters, I thought this game was gonna be another sloppy remake, you know, just better sprites and all that, but I was wrong! This is actually pretty great. It's a remake of Silver, but with the stuff that was featured in Crystal, like, the fact that you can catch both Lugia AND Ho-Oh. And the graphics are great for a DS Game, 2D Sprites with 3D backgrounds. And it's actually done well! As in every Pokemon game, the story doesn't really matter, you battle a team that's doing bad stuff to Pokemon, try to observe every Pokemon in the region for the Pokemon Professor, and take the Pokemon Challenge. The customization in this is the best of all the Pokemon games, if you liked Pikachu following you everywhere in Pokemon Yellow, but you wanted to be able to have your favorite Pokemon following you instead, this is the game for you! The Pokemon that's first in your party follows you around everywhere! The length is great in this game, instead of just getting eight badges and beating the Elite Four, you go to the Kanto region and challenge THEIR gym leaders! and after you defeat the Elite Four, you can challenge the protagonist of Pokemon LeafGreen/FireRed Versions, Red! The controls are very simple, and explained well in the game. The game is challenging if you don't "Grind" your Pokemon's levels often. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Role-Playing Games
