Loved the original, but love the remake better.
Everything You would expect them to be, there more than that, and in my opinion much better then the 4th generation games (diamond, pearl, and platinum). If you've already played the originals and liked them then these games will not disappoint, to those of you that are new to silver and gold but not to Pokemon I can't say whether or not you will like them, but there is no doubt in my mind you won't. So be prepared to put a lot of time and strategy into this game because it is simply wonderful and tons of fun to play. Everything has been redesigned and seems to take place in the fall, but it's all the same that it was 10 years ago. Aside from all that there is only one thing that disappointed me and that was the release date, as far as I know it got pushed back twice, but in the end it was worth the wait.
