Secondly, Pokemon can now follow you outside of their Pokeball wherever you go. This allows for much better attack animations and even a pseudo-3D effect for buildings and foliage. For one, the graphics have been enhanced thanks to the DS’ extra power over the Gameboy Color. Even though the games are technically not completely new, there’s still a ton of nice new features to be had in the game. Memories of tough battles, long play-sessions in caves, and training day and night (with the addition of day/night cycles). Being a long-time fan of the series myself, I was absolutely elated when I finally got to play the remakes for the first time.Īs I played through the first few gyms, there were so many memories coming back to me. All of the other generation sequels since Gold/Silver have simply added a new region but still contained 8 badges to collect along with the Elite 4/Champion to fight. Where the original Pokemon games had only 8 gyms, Pokemon Gold/Silver now had 16 gyms.

Not only did Pokemon Gold/Silver introduce us to a whole new list of Pokemon, but the game also featured a new region as well as the original Kanto. The DS remakes, dubbed HeartGold and SoulSilver, beautifully remake the original Gameboy Color games that have long been called the best in the series. After 10 long years, Nintendo has listened to Pokemon fans and finally given them their long-awaited remake of Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver.
