Pokemon Silver/Gold, just like most other Pokemon games, is a top-down RPG that throws you into a world full of magical animal-like monsters called Pokemon that become your companions along the way. Quickly, you become an official Pokemon trainer and have to battle other trainers, defeat gym leaders to earn badges, and search for rare Pokemon to collect along the way. The game has two ultimate goals for the player: to complete your Pokedex (a research database) by catching every Pokemon and to defeat the Elite Four (a series of battles similar to a “big boss” mechanic) in order to become a Pokemon Master. In order to do so, players will need to build a team of battle-ready Pokemon with trust and dedication. Without this foundation, each player will surely fail.
