Pokemon Gold/Silver & The Kanto Region
Pokemon Masters everywhere will fondly look back on their time with Gold and Silver. You’ve marched through the dark Victory Road, defeating a countless number of trainers who wished to stand in your way. The only thing left to conquer was the Indigo Plateau, the Elite Four.
Your will proves stronger than Will and his psychic Pokemon. You squish Koga and his bug Pokemon. You prove mind over matter against Bruno and his fighting Pokemon. And your light shines brighter than Karen and her dark Pokemon. Before you claim victory, your rival rears their ugly head again so that you can stomp ’em back down to reality. At last, you are the champion of Johto and the credits roll…
You resume your game and find yourself with a phone call from Professor Elm with some urgent news. You hightail it back to his labratory and he rewards you with the S.S. ticket. You board your ship and embark towards a new yet familiar adventure. You disembark at Vermilion City and you realize why this name sounds so familiar – because you’ve played through this area before in Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow. What new adventures await in the region of Kanto and beyond?
Fun Fact: The addition of Kanto is all thanks to Satoru Iwata, who helped GameFreak compress the game enough for them to fit the entirety of the original Pokemon game in this sequel.
