Is it still worth playing?

Game Freak's 2009 remake of Pokémon Gold and Silver for the Nintendo DS, covering Johto and Kanto. You beat the Johto gym leaders and the Elite Four, then the Kanto gym leaders, and finally Red. The first Pokémon in your party follows you on the map, a bundled Pokéwalker pedometer earns watts for in game rewards as you walk, and the Pokéathlon minigame and a customizable Safari Zone are added. The Battle Frontier from Crystal opens after the main game. Two regions of badges, laid out with both freedom and direction, make it worth playing now.
