The gameplay is basically the same as the first three games, with some minor tweaks. Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver feature all new characters such as a new professor, and a new professor s grandson. You also start with a different type of Pokemon than in the Red and Blue. The Pokemon also get more involved in these games than in the first three, but not much more. Although there are more TMs in this game than in the first three, they really don t amount to anything.
Battles can, like always, get repetitive.
Once you ve seen one attack, you ve seen them all, and some battles just take forever. One that comes to mind is when you fight one Metapod against another Metapod. The only move they have is harden, and when you re fighting an enemy where you can t escape, you have a problem. Overall I rate Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver middle of the road. With good graphics and okay gameplay alone it could have been pretty fun, but with horrible sound and terrible repetitiveness this game loses too many points.
