Summary: Pokemon Silver
Date: 2008-03-11 - 
Comment: It's a fun game to own and play along with it's counterpart,Pokemon Gold. Only certain aspects of game play are negatives such as the time aspect and daily events as well as having to chase the legendary pokemon unlike in Pokemon Red and Blue. Missing certain events and having to wait literally a week sometimes to return to them is slightly annoying as is having to capture certain pokemon during specific times of day as they are in some cases specifically nocturnal or their percent in a given area is extremely low. Other than these things the game plays very well and the improvement to color from just a plain solid red or blue color is great. Seeing each pokemon in their given coloration is really nice. The added new types and moves are also a plus. Overall a well worth buy for a Pokemon fan.

Summary: This is definitely the best Pokemon game EVER. 4.7 stars.
Date: 2007-11-22 - 
Comment: I was so amazed at the night and day thing. The Pokemon were so so cute and I easily got attached. Me and my bro got this in October 2000 and we were so hooked!
I had Silver (the better one) and he owned Gold.
My favorite starter is definitely Totadile but I think that I picked Chikarita most of the time.
My favorite Pokemon in this game are:
Umbreon, Totadile, Sneasle, Dragonite, Staryu, Bulbasaur, Growlithe, Vulpix, Jynx, Tediursa, Espeon, Blastoise, Pikachu and Snorlax.
The Trainers in the game were Bird Trainer (I forgot Him), Bugsy the Bug Trainer, Whitney the Normal Pokemon trainer, The adorable Ghost Trainer Morty, Jasmine The Steel Pokemon trainer, the Fighting Pokemon Trainer, Pryce the Ice Trainer and the Dragon Master, Claire. >_<.
It's so much fun trying to train all of these Pokemon. Only the addicted Poke-maniacs will get to do it!
Bravo to the last great Pokemon title.
Ruby and Pearl were an embarrassment although Ruby's graphics improved over Silver and Pearl had the cutest addition to the Poke-Roster.
This is the best Pokemon game so far. You are a fool if you don't play this one first or next!

Summary: Batteries...Dead (INTERNAL) Batteries...
Date: 2007-11-02 - 
Comment: As many of you may already know, Second Generation Pokemon games (Gold, Silver, Crystal) use internal batteries to allow players to save data. The batteries in most of these cartridges are dead. If you're going to buy this game or any of the others, you should plan to have the battery replaced.
That said, if you can find someone or someplace to cheaply replace the battery, you should buy this game if you are even remotely interested in Pokemon. You should also buy it if you have an old Blue, Red, or Yellow cartridge lying around with your old data on it, and more than one Game Boy unit. You can trade all your old favorite Pokemon to the next generation (about mid-way through) and they will level up nearly twice as fast. You can also teach them new moves.
This game is almost twice as long as the original, because you get to go back to the cities in the original after you collect the first set of badges. It also has an internal clock, and some Pokemon can only be caught at night, in the morning, etc. It's a really interesting concept that more games should take advantage of.

Summary: Great Game and it brings back memories
Date: 2007-05-15 -
Comment: I got this game for my birthday 6 years ago I mean it is still a great game to play on my game boy Advance because it's compatible which back 6 years ago I had a Nintendo64 transfer pak and I used both this game and the Transfer pak when I was playing Pokemon Stadium 2 for the Nintendo64. I mean I also had Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Crystal (the last game released for the Game Boy System). I mean now I am finally reviewing this game that my parents bought me 6 years ago on my birthday and I give this game a 4 out of 5!

Summary: GREAT GAME! MUST BUY FOR POKEMON FANS!
Date: 2007-02-13 -
Comment: You may know about the original adventures through Kanto, and the advanced adventures in Hoenn, but no reigon doesn't have nearly as much thrill and excitement as Johto in my opinion. Johto is a vast land with 251 different Pokemon to catch and raise, and many have forgot about it since is has not been imported into a game for the Gameboy Advance. And with the reigon of Sinnoh just around the bend, it may be forgotten even more. But those who have stuck to the series for as long as the franchise started, Johto will never be forgotten.
From Chikorita to Celebi, there are 100 brand new types of Pokemon just waiting to be caught. And as a trainer, you try to get all 251 Pokemon and fill your Pokedex!
The Good Side: First off, there's just a plain obvious reason Gold and Silver is so good: 251 Pokemon. Second of all, the Safari Zone is no longer in progress. This may seem bad for some of you and I respect that. But if there's one Pokemon you've just wanted to nab in the Zone, say Tauros, Scyther, Chansey or Pinsir, you'll be pleased, as you can catch all of 'em without the fear of them fleeing battle within one or two turns. They're wild. And with the Time Capsule, you can just nab it and send it to your Red, Blue or Yellow Game. Next up is the Bug Catching Contest. Ever wanted the Bug Pokemon from the Red/Blue series you just have been dying to get your hands on? Well with the Bug Catching Contest, it's possible! Not only will your Pokemon gain experience like normal, but you get to keep the last Bug you ctach. You've got 20 minutes to find and catch the best Bug you can get. If you get first prize, you'll win the Sun Stone! This is also a great way to get powerful allies like Scyther and Pinsir on your team.
The bads: There's only one thing I have to complain about. THE POKEMON ARE TOO HARD TO CATCH. I used Scyther's False Swipe to get a Farfetch'd down to one HP, and it took me 5 Great Balls to catch. Yea. And last time I caught Moltres with my first Ultra Ball. Not happenin' now, I'm afraid. O well. It's not impossible to catch something.
Conclusion: If you're a fan of the series, you'll love this game! And if you aren't, this is the perfect way to get you interested.
