So, it came as an extremely pleasant surprise when it was announced that there'd be remakes of them. Though I admittedly didn't enjoy Pokémon LeafGreen as much as I thought I would, I'd always been curious about the generation two games. My earliest memories of Pokémon are of the original Gold and Silver, but I didn't actually play any of the games until the third generation and on. This was continued on the DS with remakes of the second generation of games, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.Īs a relatively young gamer, this offered me an opportunity to partake in a generation of games that I'd missed out on.

On the Game Boy Advance, Game Freak began a method of alleviating this somewhat with remakes of the first generation games, giving gamers a more streamlined method of collecting the original Pokémon.

Obviously, Pokémon has been spread over multiple generations of hardware, and this has further made it more difficult to 'catch 'em all'. With each new generation of Pokémon, the overall number of Pokémon in the National Dex has climbed far beyond the original 151. In this entry Mitch talks about his favourite Pokémon games, which also happen to be the community's favourites too. This is a series of features that focuses on games that we keep playing again and again, either over an unhealthy number of hours or those that keep getting return visits long after they first graced our systems.
