This game is far more challenging than any of the other generations. I’d been hearing for years that the second generation was the best, and now that I have it, I can absolutely understand where that came from. So this was the only generation I missed out on. I got out of the portable gaming scene for a while, but came back with Ruby/Sapphire for the GBA. I started playing Pokemon back in the first generation, Red/Blue on the original Game Boy.

The device surprised me by how inconspicuous it can be: sure, it’s shaped like a Pokeball, but it’s tiny and you can mute it and stick it in your pocket, and voila! Having a pedometer is also kind of a neat way to encourage a little extra exercise, or appease your morbid curiosity about h.

I think it’s a cool way to level up a Pokemon while I’m living my real life, especially for Pokemon like Magikarp or Ditto that can be somewhat tougher to level up on their own. The more you use it, the more little paths you uncover, and the more you can find on it. It’s a pedometer that you can load one of your Pokemon into, and it gains experience and Watts as you walk. If you’re used to the old Game Boy Color graphics like I was, the graphics will totally blow you away too.One of the things I dig the most about the game is actually the cheesy little peripheral included with it: the Pokewalker. That being said, if you did like it, you’re also in for some additional fun from there – with the addition of new Pokemon, new areas, multi-battles, DS Wireless, online play (if you can find a WEP-encrypted wireless connection, that is), and more, it’s a blast. If you didn’t like that one, this probably isn’t for you. This is a great recreation and enhancement of the original Pokemon Gold game. My girlfriend bought the SoulSilver version, and it’s been great times for both of us so far. I bought this game pretty much entirely because I used to play Gold and Silver back in the days of Game Boy Color.
