Pokémon Silver Version 1999

Is it still worth playing?

Game Freak's 1999 role playing game for the Game Boy Color, released in North America in 2000 together with Gold. You explore Johto from above, random encounters lead to turn based battles, and the goals are to beat the Elite Four and Lance and to complete a Pokédex of 251 creatures, a hundred of them new. A real time clock changes the time of day and the day of the week, which decides events and which Pokémon appear. It added breeding at a Daycare, held items, the Steel and Dark types and a phone that lets you rematch trainers. After Johto, Kanto and its eight Gym Leaders open up. A world that runs on its own clock, with a second full region after the first, is the reason to go back to it now.
