I've been playing pokemon games ever since red and blue. As I look back at gold and silver I ask myself what was Nintendo thinking when they made those 2nd generation pokemon. Not to say gold/silver was a bad game….it gave us the night/day system which they brought back in diamond and pearl and more importantly the berries. I recently started to play my gold version for nostalgic reason and I had a few problems about the game…
1.Every new gerneration of pokemom Nintendo always gives us those ancient pokemon. No not kyogre and Groudon, I'm talking about kabuto omanyte ect. Every generation has one except gold and silver. They could have easily put one for more version exclusive pokemon.
2.It was a neat idea for Nintendo to do a different evolution route for gold and silver, just like what they did with gloom evolving into bellossom or poliwhirl evolving into politoed. Now it might not be a big deal to some of you but they never used this method on other pokemon game. A prime example on how Nintendo could of use this method is on minun and plusle, We all know that they are pikachu clones but they could at least given us a evolution route then letting them as a separate pokemon.
3.Catching one legendary dog is hard but catching 3 is impossible. Why did Nintendo have to make all three of them roam around the region? Why couldn't they make them stay in one place like the legendary birds? Yea I know that they are legendary and have high stats but they also have there respective weaknesses. Even latios and latias are worth more catching then the trio dogs because of their types, dragon and physic.
Now I know most of you will disagree on my list but it's just purely on my opinion on gold/silver. I'll say it again for fear of being flamed, I think the game is great and I had a blast playing it years ago I just think that those problems I listed were/are pretty big that Nintendo should have corrected when they were making the game.
