As of February, there are now 251 pokemon, including 2 new elements, as if we had enough trying to get the first 151! The old elements were, as you know,were grass, water, psychic, ground, colorless, fire. The new elements are Steel, evil.The game is only in Japanese, but a English version of Gold and/or silver will be coming out in late September. The price range for the japanese is around $40.00+. The English price, should be around $35.00. You cannot trade pokemon with blue,yellow,red, or green versions because it might erase your saved data on your game.
Some pokemon are new evolutions of pre- evolutions. Confused? I'll explain.
Zubat evolves into Golbat, we all know that. But, Golbat evolves into a further stage in this game. It is called Kurobat. Or, in this game, you can bring a certain 2 pokemon to a pokemon breeder and come back the next day. They will give you an egg, that egg hatches to a baby. For example, if you leave a female pikachu and a male pikachu with them, they will give you an egg the next day. Walk around until that egg hatches. It will eventually evolve into a Pichu, a cute baby pokemon.
Also, this game tells time, and the day. There is only certain pokemon you can catch at night, such as gastly, cubone, and pokemon like that. But, there are also pokemon you can only catch with a certain type of ball.
*Type of ball use *
speed ball - catch fast pokemon
heavy ball - catch heavy pokemon
lure ball - catch pokemon in water
level ball - not sure what it's for yet
friend ball - catch same pokemon type
moon ball - not sure yet
love ball - catch opposite sexed pokemon
There are brand new gym leaders, with new badges for you to earn. The map, and landmarks on the new pokemon game are completely different from previous versions.
