Back in 1996, 2 games became a hit in Japan... these were Pokemon Red and Green (Blue outside of japan) Oh wait! this is Gold! Well I'm just giving some history on these games. In the year 1997 Nintendo announced Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver, originally for the old Game Boy, the game was vastly different from the one we know today. Differences include simple route designs that resembled the generation 1 games and the lag of color. Different versions of Pokemon (Anime, etc.) showed the new Pokemon like Togepi and Ho-Oh from the infamous Pokemon- I choose you! Episode. The game never came through in 1997. until early 1998 where more info came in, and the game being called the today title Pokemon Gold. However, Yellow was coming to Japan and Red and Blue was coming to North America. Hackers have found early maps and even a skateboard to rival the bikes. Onto the actual review, Pokemon Gold came out in America on October 15th, 2000 and boy wan it awesome! Everybody would agree, the sound is very catchy and the challenge is higher than red and blue due to the new types like dark and steel. The story makes references to Red and Blue and after beating the Elite 4 you can visit Kanto. The game is deep because there's 100 new Pokemon and fighting a certain someone at the end. In closing, Pokemon gold is highly addictive but if you somehow get all 251 Pokemon you probably won't play it again. Well... what are you waiting for!? PLAY IT NOW!!!
