Pokčmon Gold and Silver will be the latest additions to the Pokčmon Game Boy family. To be released in America sometime in early fall hopefully of 2000. Pokčmon Gold and Silver will contain many new things. Like a backpack, with different compartments for different things. You will also have a cell phone so that other trainers can call you and challenge you to a battle. You will also have new ways of transportation from what I hear. You can even call your mom and the new Professor to get help. And in Pokčmon Gold and Silver, you dont play as Ash any more, you are a new character, and Ash is part of the Elite 5. There will also be 151 new Pokčmon, that means 252 Pokčmon for you to catch! But the downside is that you cant trade new Pokčmon to the old games, the de-evolve into a lower form, but you can trade from older games to the new ones easily. The 3 starting Pokčmon are new too. There is an Alligator type water pokemon, a little firey porcupine looking thing, and a little plant thing, all which evolve twice. There are also many new Gym leaders in Pokčmon Gold and Silver. The first is a fire one I think, so you might want to start out with the water type Pokčmon, but that is your choice. Pokčmon Gold and Silver are already a huge hit in Japan, so they are expected to be a big hit here too! Have fun waiting for them!
