Pokemon sold over 8 million cartridges in Japan and it was obvious that a sequel was going to be made. Nintendo announced Pokemon Gold and Silver a while ago but I haven't gotten around to writing a preview. Pokemon Gold/Silver is one of the most highly anticipated games of all time. There are many improvements to Pokemon Gold/Silver, also known as Pokemon 2. New Pokemon I believe there are 266 different Pokemon, mostly all original ones. Pokemon have different genders (male and female, obviously) and you can breed Pokemon. You can even crossbreed some Pokemon to make new Pokemon! Some Pokemon are nocturnal (active at night) and others are diurnal (active during the day). This means that time will change like in Zelda 64. You will probably need two teams, one for day and one for night. And of course there will be new abilities (over 200!) but there is no info on what they will be. The Pokedex will be upgraded but I don't know how. | ||||||||||||||||

Other New Stuff You can play as either a boy (Ash) or a girl (maybe Misty?). There is the bike from the original game and a new skateboard that lets you go to places not accessible with the bike. Drawbacks Well there aren't many drawbacks (after all, it is a new Pokemon game, how bad could it be?) but the worst thing is that you can't SEND Pokemon from Gold/Silver to Pokemon Green/Blue/Red/Yellow but you can RECEIVE Pokemon from Pokemon Green/Blue/Red/Yellow to Pokemon Gold/Silver. | new wheels/characters | ||||||||||||||||

Release Date The game should be out in Spring 1999. Of course, Nintendo is famous for its delays so be prepared for a possible Summer release date. | ||||||||||||||||
