Pokémon Gold/Silver
It is said
that this game will have over 300 monsters, and each having their
own gender which means there would be a girl and a boy Pokémon!
New Tricks and New Abilities! Brand-new Pokemon will learn
brand-new tricks. It is said that over 200 tricks are
there, and there also will be brand-new abilities. The
screen images of battle are much improved. Also, the
monsters will be more realistic, as they will be diurnal and
nocturnal, meaning you'd actually have to wait for them to wake
up at a certain time of day for them to fight. You can
check Pokemon's pre-evolved status! For example, you can
see the Clefable's former data when it was Clefairy in Red or
Blue Versions. And some Pokemon may evolve in Gold and
Silver even if they were thought to have been at their final
evolution or Red and Blue Versions.
Since the
Pokémon can be nocturnal or diurnal, means the game will have a
clock, or timer, to keep track of this. Also, Nintendo may
be planning for the game to be in Color. You can use the
skateboard as a new traffic facility! In addition to bicycle by
which you could move comfortably in Red and Blue Versions, you
can use the skateboard to move fast and may be able to go
unexpected place in Gold and Silver Version.
Also,
there's a new version of Pikachu in the game. He is a
nicely plump, BLUE Pikachu-looking creature, who is called
Mariru, meaning Marine Blue. His American name is
Pikablu. As said before, he will be plump, and that means
he's plumper than Pikachu. He's made his appearence in the movie
"Pikachu no Natsuyasumi" too. Also, the Pokedex
will be upgraded and have some new functions.
Because
the Pokémon in this new game would have a specific gender,
Pokemon bears a child! All Pokemon that appear in Gold and
Silver are classified into male and female, just as the case of
Nidoran in Red and Blue. Pokemon can be crossbred and make
a baby by laying 'Poke-Egg' if they are same species.
The
main problem? The older versions of PokéMon, PokéMon Red,
Green, Blue, and Pikachu will NOT be able to READ the data
of the new monsters of Gold and Silver but Pokémon Red, Green,
Blue and Pikachu would be able to SEND their monster data
to the new version.
The graphics seem good and expect the game play to be even better. The planned release of this game would probably be around April '99 in Japan. The American release date would probably be around the same time.
