9.5 - THE WORLD'S FINEST GAME - Postman3
THE GRAPHICS are among the best used in the Game Boy Color system. They are much better when compared to Pokémon Crystal. Pokémon Crystal was supposed to be the more advanced game, yet the sprites for Pokémon Crystal would blip weirdly when battles started and when I checked stats. This game has no such difficulties. There was a unique Pokémon in the middle of a lake that had a shiny sprite. I shall not reveal its identity. Play the game and find out for yourself. THE SOUNDS were mostly new. This game uses many new musical themes that were not heard in Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue or Pokémon Yellow. The one hundred new Pokémon all have their own original animal sound which all Pokémon make when they enter a battle or faint or are viewed on Pokedex or stat screen. Each town has a theme that is almost unique. The second village shares one with one of the northern towns. Your rival gets new special battle music. I believe the Rockets do too. ADDICTIVE is a strong word that is "right on the money" in this case. I played this game every week for nearly a year. There are so many more things that you can do in this game as compared to its predecessors. If I had not found other games to divide my playtime with, I would perhaps still be playing only this game. That is the degree of Pokémon Silver's addictiveness. The STORY is an important aspect of most good games. This one has fluid continuity. I can pick up where I left off at any time because the story is so memorable. The storyline is the reason I have kept coming back for more and more; always wanting to complete the things I have started. No game has more DEPTH. I have played for more than a year now and I can say with certainty that I am halfway through the complete storyline and a third of the way to getting most of my Pokémon to max level 100. There is so much to do that you would have to keep a calendar to fit it all in. The DIFFICULTY of this game lies not in learning how to play or what controls to use, but in how hard it is to catch your desired Pokémon and raise them to appropriate levels for taking on key trainers. The original set of Pokémon from Generation One, will learn new attacks in this Pokémon Silver Version. It is a mind throbbing experience just to decide which level I want each evolution to take place. It ultimately controls which attacks they will learn and how strong they will be as they grow. OVERALL this game is a 9.5. Among the best of Pokémon games, it is a great starter game for someone just getting back into Game Boy Color. It was in fact the first game I played upon becoming a new member. I give it the highest of recommendations. It is one of my all time favorites.

9.7 - My Childhood - dkmec20
Hello everyone, this time I will be reviewing what is my childhood: Pokemon Silver

After Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow took the world by storm in 1998, Game Freak decided to make a sequel to it, these games are Gold, Silver, and Crystal.  Now onto the review:

Graphics: This games' graphics were pretty good for GB games and were the first Pokemon games in color.  Definitely a great updated look from Red and Blue.

Sound: This game features many memorable and catchy tunes such as Goldenrod City's music.  It also includes a Radio Card in which the player can listen to the raido on the Pokegear which includes Professor Oak's Pokemon Show ft. DJ Mary, PokeFlute Station, Pokemon Music, etc.

Addictiveness: This game is addictive mainly because of the storyline and gameplay.  Like any other Pokemon game you may start over to try another team out, however since this game is fairly long because you travel through Johto and Kanto, most kids weren't liable to play through it again.

Story: The story to this game is incredible.  You start out in New Bark Town and have an errand to run for Professor Elm so he gives you the option of which starter Pokemon you would want to take with you on your journey.  You have the option of Cyndaquil, the fire type, Totodile, the water type, and Chikorita, a grass type Pokemon.  However a strange boy who only cares about strong Pokemon challenges you.  He will later become your rival and will challenge you to battles along your journey.  Then you are sent off on your Pokemon Journey, you must defeat the 8 gym leaders of Johto and then challenge the Elite Four and the Champion Lance.  If you defeat Lance you are the new champion of Johto.  However your journey is not over, you must now challenge the 8 gym leaders of Kanto  and defeat the mysterious and powerful Red.

Depth: This game is one of the most depth Pokemon game of the series as you have to travel through two regions rather than one, which is what most other Pokemon games offer. 

Difficulty: You may notice my rating is higher than what most Pokemon games are rated, that is because of one dreaded gym leader.  Many have struggled to defeat this powerful gym leader.  It is none other than Goldenrods gym leader Whitney.  Beware of her, for she has a fat cow that has the potential to destroy any Pokemon that stands in its way.

So I hope you liked this review, I felt like I had to make this review for all the old time gamers so enjoy!

9.1 - Pokemon Silver Review - Marcmoney
Overall - 9.1

Pokémon Silver is a fun game to play.  I usually play Gold, but Silver is good too because of the legendary Pokémon. :)

Graphics - 8

It has good graphics.  At least it has more color than Red and Blue.

Sound - 7

The sound is good, but it sometime gets annoying with the high tones and the repeat. :S

Addictiveness - 8

I would play this game again.  I wouldn't start all over once I beat it, I would probably catch all the Pokémon's and do extra things that are in the game.

Story - 10

The story is basically the same for all Pokémon games.  It still is a good story though. :)

Depth - 10

The game is big, just like the other Pokémon games.

Difficulty - 4

The game is easier from what I think.  It is the same as the other Pokémon.

Wrap Things Up...

Pokémon Silver is the same game as Gold.  I usually play HeartGold, but Pokemon Silver is pretty much the same as HeartGold.  I highly recommend this game if you rather have Lugia than Ho-Oh. :)

9.4 - Pokemon Silver- A Bar Raiser - ignavusd
The graphics of Pokémon Silver were revolutionary to the Pokémon games. Not only was the sprites and towns now in color, but effort put into detail is much more astute in these games compared to 1st generation. Compared to other games, not just Pokémon, this games graphics were in the top tier, perhaps in the top 10. Graphics have never been a problem for Pokémon games, between the inventive and creative forms of the Pokémon, to the peculiar ways they depict the actual attacks used.

The music and sound in this game is a step above 1st generation. The Pokémon's cries are now a cut above a simple pronunciation of the Pokémon's species. Now, it is as if there is a particular feeling that is hidden within each cry. The battle music is, as always, a perfect mood setter. Whether it's battling a Gym Leader or fighting a Legendary, the music is always a subtle touch that truly brings the game together.

Like all other Pokémon games, this game is highly addictive. Now with the capabilities of over 250 Pokémon, there are hundreds of possible teams to capture and train. You can play this game a hundred times, and use a different team each time, perhaps keeping 1 or 2 of your favorites. The possibilities are numerous, and the replay value is high.

Unfortunately, the main, glaring weakness of Pokémon games is the repetitive story. In the future, it is somewhat remedied by the introduction of spin-offs such as Mystery Dungeon and Ranger series. But for right now, the story is just rehashed in a new region with a large amount of new Pokémon. All it really is, it seems, is you going around catching Pokémon, building a team and striving to beat the Pokémon League. Not too much of a variation there, except for different Gym Leaders and the introduction of 2 new types, Dark and Steel.

While Pokémon may not shine in the story or plot department, the depth of it is immense. Just trying to catch all the Pokémon and complete the Pokedex can consume a HUGE portion of time. It was difficult in the 1st generation, now there is over 100 new Pokémon to do also. Then you can train a full team of 6 Pokémon to level 100, the highest level possible. A bonus point that the Silver game has over the 1st generation, and future generations, is that you get to visit 2 WHOLE regions. That's right, not 8, but 16 badges. You get to explore 2 regions, and battle each Gym Leader to boot.

The difficulty of all Pokémon games is merely how difficult you want it to be. With the large amount of Pokémon, it is obvious some will be naturally stronger than others. Therefore, if you want an easy game, or to speed through it, power leveling your starter, an Alakazam, and a Machamp can pretty much dominate the game. There are also additional challenges you can place on yourself. There are things called the Mono Type Challenge or the Nuzlocke Challenge. Both are fun twists on the normal Pokémon game.

10 - Awesome game, very entertaining! - mariahurdler
Graphics: Well the graphics have decent color although very old school, none of that 3rd dimensional gibberish. But that doesn't really change anything inside the game, I mean it would be nice to see some great artwork and details but it's still pretty legit. Unless you really care about seeing details then it really doesn't matter.

Sound: The sound is not worst yet again it is not the best either. The little music that comes out every time you're walking around got me pretty annoyed. Well that's because It's like the same little beats throughout the whole story. There is supposedly a radio in the game in which you could change the tune but the tune changes every time you walk in a different place, which is constantly. It doesn't help much but for one part of whole game. I would just hear something else while playing the game to distract me from it. Many others might not really be bothered by it though.

Addictiveness: I actually played this game a lot when I was a little kid! I recently found this great website and found that I could play all the old games I used to play and this happened to be one of them! So yes! I would definitely play this game again but if you replay it you will already know the whole story line and know what you have to next do with such an ease, so I would recommend taking a break.

Story: Well the story is that the protagonist (you) has a dream to become a great Pokémon trainer, maybe even become the best one out there! First, you are out to complete a little mission, after you find out some thief is out there stealing Pokémon and treating them with no love you go out there and become a loving trainer yourself. With hours of hard work and training you go out there and collect various gym badges and beat the most powerful trainer out there. The end! ... NOT until you complete the pokedex!

Depth: The game goes really into depth with the Pokémon! Not only do you have that long storyline where you have to get all eight gym badges in the Johto region but there is MORE! After you collect all eight Johto region badges there is an other region called Kanto that you discover and there happens to be another eight Pokémon gyms with badges! Making it sixteen gym leaders you have to beat. Not only that, but there is a night and day system. Some certain Pokémon can only be caught during the day and others can only be caught during night. Also, some Pokémon can only be caught on certain days. The time could be changed to make day last longer. (daylight savings time) There where new Pokémon added to this generation of Pokémon as compared to the first generation. That means more Pokémon to complete the pokedex, which means breeding Pokémon to make babies!

Difficulty: This game is really not THAT difficult, well when it comes to talking about  the story line. The answer and solutions are practically given away to you if you read everything the other characters say. All you have to do is keep your Pokémon well trained. I recommend taking some time and dedicate it  to simply raising the Pokémons level by a lot. The more powerful the Pokémon the better! Also, it's good to know the Pokémons weaknesses, some rivals might be easier to defeat if you know their Pokémons weakness. The leaders are not that hard either if you keep your Pokémon well trained and have potions and berries. The most difficult thing overall is beating the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the game, but by then hopefully you have all your Pokémon to a really high level and have TONS of potions! When it comes to completing the WHOLE game, it's a big hassle. In order to complete the Pokedex you need to trade Pokémon with other players, which might be a problem.

Overall: This is a great game that will get you entertained for hours! At the beginning it might be a little frustrating having to get around because it is slow or it might be frustrating to have wild Pokémon pop out so much but hey, that is how you train Pokémon!

10 - Pokemon - Generation II - Dragonessa
Pokémon Silver (along with its companion Gold) heralded the birth of an entirely new generation of Pokémon, and with it an entirely new world to explore. These factors are what made this game one of the best the Gameboy had to offer. This was also the first of the Pokémon series to feature two lands to explore as opposed to just one that had been seen in the progenitors Red and Blue. These games set the bar for every Pokémon game to come after and there are many who believe that Generation II is the finest Pokémon game released to date. With over a hundred new Pokémon plus all the 150 from the First Generation to capture, you'll have your hands full trying to fill the Pokedex. The only way to successfully do this however is to trade between Silver and Gold versions and there are plenty of chances to do so. 

You start the game in the Johto region and like all the games before, you get a choice of a Pokémon to start with and you go on an epic quest to catch all of the Pokémon, defeat the evil team that threatens them (in this case, Team Rocket again) and of course - go for the Pokémon League and become Champion. However this time the journey doesn't end there. With the addition of the Kanto region (the land that made Red and Blue version famous), a familiar land is up for exploration again along with 8 more badges to collect - adding up to a never-before-seen grand total of 16 badges. The gym leaders you previously beat in Kanto in Red and Blue also prove to be incredibly difficult opponents this time around, offering an intense challenge for only the most hardened of trainers. 

Essentially, Silver and Gold brought some of the best features to the Pokémon franchise - opening the doors for the new games that would bring even more Pokémon and adventures for years to come!

Generation II finally got a reboot recently in the form of SoulSilver and HeartGold for the Nintendo DS. The update brought back the familiar worlds of Johto and Kanto, while adding more new features (Pokethlon, Pokewalker, etc.) to make the game even better than it was before. Game magazines the world over praised the update for its updated visuals and the ability to trade Pokémon in from Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, and Pearl versions. The update also brought back a familiar storyline from Pokémon Crystal - the tale of Suicune and one man's adventure to meet the Legendary Pokémon in the flesh.

9.6 - Pokemon Silver - marcus047
Game Background- This is gamefreak's 6th installment in the Pokemon franchise for Japan and gamefreak's 5th installment in the Pokemon franchise for America.The game picks up multiple years after the Kanto region in the all new Johto region. In this game it's an all new elite 4 with a new champion and gym leaders ect, but instead of Koga(as seen in Kanto as a gym leader) this time around he is an elite 4 member. The game has some interesting new features such as the phone and the day and night feature which only added to the diversity in Pokemon you will encounter.

Graphics- The game have has shown a remarkable improvement on graphics compared to what was seen in previous installments in the franchise. The pokemon now have color when they enter battle and instead of the town all being one color(as seen in older games in the franchise), this time each item/building in town has its on color like what you would see in real life. Also the graphic pixal wise have had an update, the pokemon actually look like how you would see them when you look them up in the Pokedex and show a better more clear description of them(they actually look like what they are suppose to be). So for graphics I gave the game a 10 out 10.

Sound-The games soundtrack changes with the passing thru each town/area. They are no distortions or irregularity's in the sound as far as pitch and acoustics go(unless you use speed bar), although the soundtrack is all new, it does get a little annoying to hear after awhile to listen to especially you get into a lot of wild Pokemon battles. So for sound I gave the game a 10 out of 10.

Addictiveness- I'm very likely to play this game again because of it's story and it's extra perks like not just being able to beat through Johto gym's, the game also allows you to go back to Kanto and re-beat some of Kanto's gyms as well. The new pokemon also play's a part in the games addictiveness, with there looks and stats it really had me wanting to catch'em all. So for addictiveness I gave the game a 9 out of 10.

Story-The story starts off not quite like other Pokemon games, instead of going off into the grass and having the professor chase you down and stop you and for your own protection gives you a pokemon, instead you are asked a favor by the professor to go and get something for him in a far off town. The infamous and notorious international criminal organization  known as team rocket makes a come back in the Johto region in this game where as they were crippled in the Kanto region. The story is quite long with its technically two regions in the game, Kanto and Johto, and there is plenty to keep you entertained for an extended period of time. So for story I gave this game a 10 out of 10.

Depth-The game is huge with it's two regions in game, it offers plenty of things to do like battle well over 8 gym's, play in the game corner, enter Pokemon catching completions, and or catch rare pokemon in the safari zone.The game does take a considerable amount of time to beat i estimate a time of any where from 3-4 days if you play the game for maybe 1-2 hours a day. So for depth i gave the game a 10 out of 10.

Difficulty-Well the game isn't very difficult till you reach the champion of the elite 4. The champion's battle style and Pokemon stats seem far superior over mostly any Pokemon you use and the A.I. seems substantially harder and does formulate and execute a near perfect battle plan to utterly defeat you with nearly no gaps in its defenses.But seeing on how only the champion of the elite 4 is one of the only real challenges I gave the games difficulty a 6 out of 10.

Overall- Overall I give the game a 9.6 out of 10, because the game is very entertaining and has some very good new features on it which only made the games overall feel and appeal go up. With its updated graphics and better story line and plot this is easily one of the best Pokemon games ever made.

9.8 - one of the best pokemon games ever - goldcam109
During 1996 a little known game called Pokémon red and blue came out in game stores all over Japan. The games were called Pokémon Red and Green. The people who bought the game were surprised at the difference between the show of Pokémon and the game so a re release was issued called Pokémon blue. The game sold out within seconds of being stocked. The games were so popular they had no choice but to release a sequel but problems had come up.

1. They had a change from Pokémon 2 to Pokémon gold/ silver .

2.The game had been pushed back to 2000.

The Pokémon all had to be redesigned to look more realistic and new Pokémon were added even 2 new mechanics were added.

1. The new day and night system.

2. Chasing Pokémon Raikou/ Entei/ Suicune.

After that brief history lesson about Pokémon I'll Move on to the story

The story is based 2 years after the events of red, blue,green and yellow where a ten year old boy named Kenta starts his journey in new Bark town in the new region Johto the story is pretty much the same when all of a sudden you get a phone call from professor elm telling you that a disaster happened and that you get back to his lab immediately on the way you encounter your rival who has stolen a Pokémon and has the same goals as you. You are then told to take the gym challenge. When you get to azalea town you encounter a man standing in front of a well you later find out that he is in fact a team rocket grunt you don't see team rocket again until you get to mahogany town when three's a whole hideout under ground! You are then directed to under ground goldenrod where there is the Pokémon president who gives you the item to find the legendary Pokémon lugia. Once you have beaten the game you are permitted to challenge the kanto league who are at ridiculously high levels.  and once you've beaten both leagues and have gotten all 16 badges you must make the long trek up mount silver and fight a god amongst Pokémon trainers the legend that is RED! He will use his ultimate team consisting of

1. Pikachu

2. Venusaur

3. blastoise

4 charizard

5.snorlax

6. espeon

he doesn't say anything just ...

overall it has a great story, great visuals, a great style of gaming, perfect execution and gives me a nostalgic mind

9.9 - silver - nintendomangaguy
OK, I have always enjoyed this game series and after I did Pokémon yellow I felt like I needed to do another poke-view (Pokémon review).  The story is great. I love that fact that your rival is almost a villain!  I also love the fact that after 3 years team rocket reforms again after red beat boss rocket in the first Gen.  The new gym leaders are strong in this new land of Johto and with a new region comes new Pokémon and new starters along with a new tro.  This one also introduces my favorite Pokémon Typhlosion!  Don't forget about the new legendaries too Lugia and Ho-Oh these are nice additions to series.  Add on to all of that after you beat Johto you get to go back to kanto!  that means with all the new you get to see all of the old too!

9.9 - Pokemon Silver Review - starwars293
 Hello people,this is starwars293. This time,I am reviewing Pokemon Silver for the Game Boy Color. A great classic of the Pokemon world. So many great Pokemon like Golem,the three starter Pokemon and all the other Pokemon. The legendary Pokemon in this game are pretty good. I did play this game on PlayR(this was back then when I didn't know about Vizzed) and I played Soul Silver on the DS.

 This was a wonderful game to play.In fact,this was the first Pokemon game I've played out of all of the ones that were released. This game was my favorite Pokemon game and it still is. I still play it. Some of my friends at school stopped playing Pokemon ever since they beaten Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. The other two 2nd generation games,Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Crystal,well I have played them,but I haven't beaten them.

 I have been a Pokemon addict ever since I beat this game. I've watched the series,learn my Pokemon and all those stuff. However,we can talk about this later. I have to pretty much review this game. Well anyways,Pokemon Silver is an great game. It has new Pokemon like Chikorita,Mareep and other cool Pokemon. They even brought back some of the 1st generation Pokemon like Magikarp,Golem and Zubat. They even have a new region in this game called Johto.

 The game stills has the same attacks. They even added new legendary Pokemon. Those Pokemon are Lugia,Raikou,Entei,Suicune and Ho-oh. They can be useful during the game. They can help you with going against the Elite four. The Elite four is pretty tough,so before you go up against them,I recommend to train all of your Pokemon to level 50 or over level 50. That's just a tip when you fight the Elite four and the champion, Lance. 

 The usual on how to get to the Elite four is by having to get eight gym badges. How you get them is from the Gym leaders of each city/village. If you win the badge,that means you get Pokemon over that certain level to obey you and you can use a HM move. You even get a TM move from the gym leaders when you win. That is pretty awesome. Even on your way to be the Pokemon master,you find new Pokemon,learn new moves and meet new friends,and one rival.

 Your rival pretty much starts out as being so mean like he'll be the one being the best and strongest trainer in the whole region. Looks like his wish doesn't come true after you beat the champion,so yeah. Later on during the game,he starts to become nicer to you and becomes nicer to his Pokemon,since he uses Pokemon like tools for war or something like that. Now lets rate this review.

Graphics-The graphics are good really. Nothing wrong with it though. The only thing different from Red and Blue is that the game has color now.

Sound-The sound is great. It become epic when you fight Lance and Red from Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue

Addictivness-I would play this game again because why? To catch them all of course!

Story-A boy name Gold(Silver in Pokemon Gold)wants to be the Pokemon master and catch all of the Pokemon. He sets out on a quest to get all eight gym badges and beat the Elite four and the champion,Lance. He meets up with a mysterious boy when Gold is returning to New Bark Town. He later becomes your rival. Now he also wants to be the best trainer and the strongest of them all,also

Depth-The game offers new Pokemon,a new rival and new legendary Pokemon.

Difficulty-The game is kinda hard,but it's also fun to play. Lots of exciting challenges await you in the Pokemon world

Overall-A great game and hard game,but I would play it lots of times

Wrap things up-Pokemon Silver is a great and fun game. I would recommend that you would play it. If you liked it and you own a DS,get the remake,Pokemon Soul Silver. You might also like it

This has been another starwars293 review

Thank you for reading my review

10 - Poke'mon Silver - BluemageKyle
Now, for my first Pokemon review this is one most teenagers played as a kid. Most teenagers were kids during the Pokemon Red, and Blue (Not including Green), started this great franchise that made GameFreak in business today. Pokemon Silver (And Gold plus Silver) were called the best Pokemon classics, they featured two regions worth of badges (Sixteen, because every region has eight gyms) , Johto, the first region. And Kanto region, a great add-on from the classics! Now the game play is great, you can experience fast battle, good story, and a fun a'after game' that grabbed many young kids. Now this game (And Gold, aside from Crystal) has been remade to SoulSilver (While people including me, demand a Ruby/Sapphire) , and is now becoming downgraded because of the new sequel to Black/White that will soon make kids and teenagers returning to the series drop their copies of SoulSilver/HeartGold, and play Black and White 2 (An odd name for a Pokemon sequel) . So this concludes this review on Silver, I hope you will take the time to play this game in the Retro game room and enjoy yourself!

10 - The Golden Age of Pokemon - TrollStoneProdu.
Pokemon Silver. Just the name reminds of the best Pokemon experience I (and many others) have ever had. If you started your Pokemon adventure with this game, everything was new, it was fresh, exciting! Everything was appealing, you wondered what was to come, and the idea of A legendary Pokemon awaiting you was awesome, and could be quite nerve-wracking. I don't know about anyone else, but I would stare at the 16-bit Lugia just wondering what it could do, and what it's abilities were. If you started Pokemon on the First Gen games, you could really appreciate how improved the game was. The color and sprites were more detailed, the Pokemon amount nearly doubled, and the story had the genius addition of traveling to Kanto and defeating it's Gym Leaders and Pokemon League. The region had many new things, crevices cave, and even oceans to explore, it truly did not disappoint those with high expectations for the long awaited 2nd Generation of Pokemon. This was my first experience with a handheld game, and definitely my best and most memorable. So please, I encourage you to try this game out, and if you feel like it, play the first gen games and weigh the differences.

Well i can't say that the graphics are bad because the graphics are good for many reason i can't of . The graphics are great for the year it was made and the system it was made for . It has the same graphics as Gold and Crystal version .

Sound : 8

One thing i will like to say is that the sound or music is awesome . I Like the music from Pokemon Silver Version better than my Pokemon Soul Silver because the music is more original . I don't care if the music sounds more better in Soul Silver , i like Pokemon Silver music better .

Addictiveness : 8

Pokemon Silver is very addictive because im a pokemon fan and every pokemon fan plays the same pokemon all of the time , maybe . I play Pokemon Silver a few times because I play pokemon Crystal more like i said before not to long ago . But any way this game is very addictive to many people . ( not only on vizzed ) .

Story : 8

Lets see whats the story is . Basically the story of the game is that you start your pokemon adventure has a regular trainer . You have to beat the gym leaders , and Battle trainer to get stronger and become a pokemon master . Maybe that is tge story to me but maybe to every one .

Depth : 8

The Depth of the game is the same as all of the pokemon game . The game offers many things like Battling trainers , Catching and trainer your pokemon , Defeating Gym leaders and finally beating the Elite Four . That all it offers to everyone who play this pokemon game maybe more . But the Depth of this game is great .

Difficulty : 5

Pokemon Silver is not actually a hard pokemon to play , its quite easy indeed but its only hard if its your first time playing pokemon . Its a easy anyway and sorry if there is not detail for the difficulty .

Well this is another good review that is done and i hope you have a great time and sorry if there is not that much details , i will try harder next time . :D

9.6 - ONE OF THE BEST GBC GAMES - speedy gonzalez
Pokemon Silver Review

Pokemon Silver is defenantly one of the best GBC games as there is lots of cool things and Pokemon to catch in it. Pokemon gold is basically the same but you get the chance to catch ho-oh before lugia so it doesn't matter which one. you play because you can still catch the same Pokemon

Story Outline

The story outline of this game is really good and some of the things that people say are really funny. One of the main reasons that i really like about this game is that you start in Jhoto and after the Pokemon league you can go to Kanto. you can also get the starters from the Jhoto region and the Kanto region in this game but you can only get the Kanto starters once you have caught 200 Pokemon (it is not impossible as there is 251 Pokemon in the game).

Differences from other Pokemon games

There are some unique differences in this game that are not in other Pokemon games (not including crystal and gold) like that at night there are some Pokemon that you could catch at other times. another difference is that there are many events from the anime series like the bug competition and team rocket in the well, but some of them have been changed a bit. there is a very useful tip that quite a lot of people know and the tip is that you can fast forward the time!! when i say fast forward i don't mean press the space bat i mean that you can actually fast forward TIME. it can be very useful when your waiting for Kurt to make a poke ball for you or to search for Pokemon at night.(if you want to know how to do it and other tips go to the bottom of the page where the tips and guide is). 

Sound and spritesthe sound in this game is very good, but the sprites are bad for the Pokemon. there are about 8 different sprites for the Pokemon they look like oddish, beedrill, quagsire, some sort of cat thing and i cant remember the rest so yeah they are bad. the sound is good, the gym battles sounds are good and the general music for all of it is good. i think this is the first game where the legendarys get their own battle music.

Overall Review 

overall i think this game is really good so if you love Pokemon games you should play this game because it is lots of peoples favorite game and that is probably why they made soul silver because it was so good

Tips

Fast forward time- go on your poke gear and just press up or down on the page where it shows the time.

Evolve eevee into espeon or umbreon- make eevee happy by giving it haircuts in the underground place in goldenrod city and level it up to about level 45.

Night Pokemon- hoothoot, poliwag, noctowl, spinarak, ariados.

Morning Pokemon- sentret and furret.

Rivals Pokemon- rival usually has haunter, golbat, sneasal  and starter.

Apricorn Pokeballs- white=fast ball red=level ball pink=love ball black=moon ball blue=lure ball and i 

don't remember how to get heavy ball and friend ball

9.6 - pokemon silver - 1catdog1
pokemon silver is a nice game there are the same games to it pokemon gold and Pokémon christal version  In the game there are some new pokemon like ho oh lugia ect the best part of the game is when you go into kanto its like 2 games at once the best part of this very game is red A.K.A. ash. he has the pokemon from the show he has some strong ones. there is also team rocket the story goes three years ago team rocket departed from kanto. cause ash beat the leader A.K.A. the 8th gym leader but all the same is in kanto brock misty LT.surge erika koga sibrinna blaine and ??? the game was made in 2000 i think so. there has ben spooky ledands of a game claimed to be named pokemon lost silver it starts when you just go blank than you are in the bell tower i think then you have unknowns that spell out well i dont know  its on youtube but i love this games sound graphics hardness its just wright .

10 - Favorite Pokemon Game - SlowRom
Pokémon Silver is deep down my favorite Pokémon Game. Silver Gold and Crystal are honestly the best of the best Pokémon games. This was a major leap from the first Pokémon games it was up to date with phones, custom poke balls, radios, and so many new Pokémon to capture. Another great detail is this is basically 2 games in a row. Once you have beaten Johto you may go and revisit Kanto from the first generation of Pokémon and see how much it has changed. The plot once again has its different courses traveling from place to place. But the main plot I believe and love is chasing after Team Rocket and that Pokémon Thief who becomes your Rival. Team Rocket and your Rival make the game so much more dark and that's what I love about a Pokémon game is how dark it can get. There are happy times, sad times, and just plain frustrating times. The biggest Challenge you will honestly have is Legendary catching. Sure Lugia and HoHo are easy since they hold still, But Entei, Raikou and Suicune, good luck is all I can say. I remember as a kid Always chasing them down and trying everything to catch them. There are so many Pokémon in this game its amazing so this is the question you need to ask your self, "Are you ready to catch them all and be the best you can be?"

The best of the pokemon series. That is, until the release of SilverSoul, of course. All around great game. Has a newer feel to it, but manages to keep the retro aspect.

The game is awesome, but the time doesn't change in game. You're stuck with the time of day throught the entire adventure. Other than that, pretty awesome.

When I saw so many Pokemon games on board I came to Silver immediately! Haha... this is like the best Pokemon game I've ever played (I've never played G3 and G4 before). I still remember the good old days when I searched every shopping mall for the guide because I was damn stuck in the game, and thank God I found one, which had been one of my favourite books.

welcome to Joto, a place where new pokemon are ready to battle at each and every turn. psst i recomend getting a ghost type, well it may not be able to attack all types. theres none stronger when facing a PSY or a GHOST type. not incluiding its CURSE attack can get you out of a jam!

It's too bad the Pokemon Cries are messed up, and the echoes in some music ( like the Rival Battle ) don't work. Oh well, it's still great.
