Pokémon Gold and Yellow Versions |
|
My Game Boy Color |
Pokémon. I love it. The first game I ever played was Pokémon Gold Version and ever since then, I've played every version there is. Today I'm going to compare how they show Kanto and Johto. Screenshots are actual size.

Second Generation
Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal Version
Pokémon Gold Version was the first Pokémon game I ever played. I can finish it (not catching all the Pokémon, obviously) within a few hours. Its replay value is infinite for me as I remember picking this game up at six or seven years old and becoming absolutely hooked.
Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal Versions introduce a new region to the Pokémon world called Johto while still keeping the one from the previous generation (Kanto). They also add a real-time clock and a day and night cycle which brings different Pokémon at certain times of day and sometimes even certain days.
Gold and Silver Versions were the first released then later Crystal Version came out with the new option of playing as a female character. It also brought the Battle Tower into the series.

Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen Version
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions are Pokémon Red and Green Versions updated for the Game Boy Advance. I haven't played them much so I'm not as experienced with them.

Fourth Generation
Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver Version
I'm playing this game right now and it's a very impressive upgrade to the gameplay of Pokémon Gold Version although the Pokégear phone keeps ringing and it's annoying the hell out of me. It's always that same Youngster Joey too, talking about how his Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata. Fuck off, Joey.
