Just about the best Pokemon game out there. Even 7 years later, I can't get enough of it! A must buy.
This game is a huge step up from the R/B/G/Y games. It not only adds (about)200 new monsters, but it also has days and times. Not to mention a second league. From Chikorita to Ho-Oh, all the Johto Pokemon are original and unique. Unlike some Sonic knock-offs. *COUGHBUIZELCOUGH* And some Pokemon are day/time exclusive. For example, Laparas is only catchable on Fridays. And HootHoot is only found at night. But my favorite part has to be this. The Jhoto games are the only ones that allow you to leave the main reigon (in this case, Johto) and get eight more gym badges from Kanto. (Don't you wish you could see Jhoto in your LeafGreen version?) Also, both mascot legendaries are availible without trading. Another cool thing is that after collecting all 16 gym badges and beating the Elite Four, you get to battle a trainer named 'Red', the original hero of the original game, Red Version. Red, is the games ALMOST mirror image of the anime's hero Satoshi (Ash Ketchum) as they have similar Pokemon. The graphics are, like the game, old but a large step up from the R/B/G/Y. They are *GASP* colorful. Hence the GameBoy COLOR. The sound, is also a step up from the GB games, but nowhere near today's standards. That being said, GO BUY A USED COPY OF THIS GAME! >O
