My last review was on Pokemon Yellow, and in it I talked a lot about Pokemon Gold. I thought it would only fit if I did the next game in the series, so here you go. After I beat Red and Yellow, I discovered the sequel to the games in gamestop, Pokemon Gold. I bought it, and it has turned into my favorite Pokemon game of all time.

Graphics: 9
The graphics are a HUUUGGGE improvement upon the original 3 games. Some of the pokemon used to be really badly sprited and some were even wrong (koffing). Of course, just like Yellow, they improved all of the graphics. Most of the pokemon in this game look like what they do today.

Sound: 9
The music is very memorable. It fits the games theme, which is about folklore and ancient legends, and it even improves upon Kanto's music. I will always remember going in the Ruins of Alph and listening to the Unown song on the radio. Very creepy, but it makes it even more interesting.

Addictiveness: 8
This game was a lot more fun to me than both Red and Yellow. There were so many more places to explore, and so many more pokemon to catch. The fact that there are two regions that both have hidden secrets makes this game have a very high replay value. That means that even after beating it, you can continue playing it without getting extremely bored.

Story: 8
The story takes place a few years after Red and Blue, after team rocket has been defeated. Of course, they never give up, and start to show up again. You have to destroy Team Rocket once and for all, while also trying to become a Pokemon Master.

Depth: 10
This game has many places to go, and has so many more pokemon in it. This makes it have much more depth than the original games, because you have to travel around the world trying to catch pokemon, instead of just 1 region.

Overall: 10
I am giving this a ten because it is my favorite Pokemon game to date. I think it is a huge accomplishment from Nintendo, adding things like Shiny pokemon, a day and night cycle, and traveling across the ocean by boat. I think it deserves a lot more praise than it gets, and many people overlook it. If you haven't played this game before, I definitely suggest giving it a try. Please rate this review, it helps me earn Viz. Thanks for reading!

i really enjoyed reading your review. this is one of my favorite games too because you can face red and get lots of legendarys. there is also a train that you can use. this would be my favorite game but they made a remake so that remake is my new favorite game. whats your team on this?

speedy gonzalez : My current team is
Feraligatr LVL 95
Lugia Lvl 80
Pikachu LVL 70
Vaporean LVL 82
Ho-oh LVL 81
Gligar Lvl 79

metroidhunter72 : those are high level pokemon. do you use cheat codes?

speedy gonzalez : No, I have been playing it for a few years. FYI this is my team on my Gameboy Color Cartridge, not vizzed. The RGR doesn't work for me.

Good review.

I'm glad you weren't one of those people who say the graphics in red / green / yellow were horrible.

I haven't played those three games a lot, but Bulbasaur looks funny.

Also do you know why the rgr doesn't work?
