Pokemon Silver Version

"Great game! A must-buy!"

This game is called, Pokemon Silver, as you all must know. It is the sequel to Pokemon Blue. You might think: Oh! Pokemon is so bad it's just for kids! Well if you think that, then don't buy it. I won't argue with you people to tell you that this game isn't only for kids.

You get to chose what your name is. In this review, I'll name him Ash. Ash needs to go see Prof. Elm to do an errand for him. When you talk to him, he'll say he want you go see his friend. But he says the route is dangerous without a Pokemon. So you get to chose one. when you get to Mr. Pokemon's house, Prof Oak is there. He gives you a PokeDex and Mr. Pokemon gives you an egg. That's when your journey starts.

Gameplay: 8/10
The gameplay in this game is great! You fight Pokemon in the grass, fight other trainers, gym leaders, the Elite Four, Team Rocket, and much more. There are also plenty of new moves and Pokemon to make this game even better. The battle formation is also really great. You see your Pokemon from behind and you tell it what move to do. This seems really easy, but when you get farther in the game, you fight different types of Pokemon, which makes you carefully chose what move to do.

Story: 6/10
Alright, this story is pretty basic. Your name is Ash, and you want to be the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. But some new ''missions'' are added during the game. For example: (this is not in the game) Oh! I must now get that Pokemon back from that thief to give it back to grandpa!

Graphics: 9/10
For a Gameboy / Gameboy Color game, the graphics are just simply GREAT. I've played many other Gameboy games and so far, this must be the one with the best graphics. They're way better than the Pokemon Red & Blue graphics.

Sound: 7/10
The music in this game isn't bad. Though sometimes it get a little annoying. But only sometimes! I have to admit I've heard better, but also worse.

Replayability: 10/10
Once you beat this game, you'll want to play it again. There are so many things you can do. You can try a game with only one Pokemon or only two of them! You can still complete your PokeDex also. You just catch the Pokemon and put them in a PC. You won't regret restarting this game!

Overall score: 8/10
