Ah, Pokemon Silver. My very first Pokemon game. So many memories are stored in this one game. Isn't is amazing how a video game or movie can make us so moved in so many ways and feel so many emotions? Like happy, sad, cheerful, sorrowful? It takes just one game to completely override our emotions, yet it takes many to truly change them...What the hell am I talking about, lets get on with it.
Okay, so first we have-Graphics, which I am gonna give a 10(comparing it to other games such as Harry Potter or Rayman which were out at the time). The appearances of Pokemon can range from Cute to Terrifying, Innocent to Horrific, Playful to Violent, in some cases. And the natural environment looks so fresh and clean and colourful compared to Gen I. The graphics have had a HHUUGGEE update from Gen I, and so have...
...The Sounds, which I am gonna give a 10. This game has so many nostalgic tunes which recall memories of a six year old me struggling to get past Sudowoodo, or a seven year old me struggling to beat the Champion, or an eight year old me after just defeating you know who on you know what mountain. And also, the legendary Pokemon have different themes. That gave me a shock when I first heard Raikou's theme, and then seeing it run away straight afterwards. One thing I didn't like about the sounds was the pokemon cries. I mean, Sudowoodo's actually disturbed me for some reason. But that's a personal reason, I won't downgrade the sound just for that. I actually got addicted to his cry, which leads me to...
...Addictiveness! Which I am going to give (another) 10. I just knew all along that there was something to ensure Gen II went out with a bang bigger than Bonfire Night. So I just kept playing and playing, defeating Gym Leaders, overcoming obstacles, and challenging the Elite Four. And then, after I defeated them, I got a phone call from Professor Elm...I'll leave you to find that out...But this game practically ensnares you with all the regions charm...and it has a...
...Great Story! ...Which, for some reason, I am going to rate a 8. It is very good, and has tons of special events, and even has a few surprises here and there, but...I felt like some places were simply devoid of storyline...I mean, Mt.Mortar. Does anything happen there? Nope. And you can just surf right around it. Nothing happens in Cherrygrove City, either. Or Ice Path. These places have nothing to do with the story, just minor obstacles. However...
...There is much more Depth than the Gen 1 games. There are so many things to enter and do. Bug Catching Contest, Listening to Radio, Finding the Three Beasts, 100 More Pokemon, Solving the Mystery of Alph, and many more. Eventually, you will get to meet an old face. I'm giving Depth a 9. And now for the short part...
...Difficulty. Not much to say, it isn't difficult, you just need to be patient enough to train them up and do a few puzzles. The Pokedex is quite difficult. But there isn't really much else to say...I'm giving it a 3.
So, that's my second review done. Let's do a recount: Graphics-10 Sounds-10 Addictiveness-10 Story-8 Depth-9 Difficulty-3
The overall rate(according to the mean, where all numbers are added up and then divided by the amount of values there are) should be.....8.3, a above average score. Ah, Pokemon Silver.
