## 2025-03-27 This is a hack of **Pokemon Gold & Silver** that turns the game into an open-world. You can pick from any of the starting cities in Johto or Kanto, grab one out of 20 selectable starters, customize your trainer and head out. It also has a bunch of QoL to make it easier to engage with a Game Boy Color **Pokemon** game, which is good 'cause it would show its age otherwise. Anyways this game is absolutely heat. It's been so fun exploring and building a team. I started right outside of Johto's starting city and beelined it to Goldenrod. I'm six hours into the game and only have one badge, so this is going to be a marathon, not a sprint, LOL. Really contributing to the good vibes of my [[The Nostalgia Arc|Nostalgia Arc]]. ### Current Team ![[Pokemon Crystal Clear-1743266554756.jpg]] ## 2025-04-11 I finished the game! This is possible the best **Pokemon** game I've ever played, and the absolute best way to experience the Game Boy Color version of **Pokemon**. Absolute blast that makes me want to play it again, to be honest. Loved the open nature of it, the QOL, the aesthetic upgrades, everything. Truly brought me back to being a kid playing **Pokemon** again. A lovely experience from start to finish and one of the best games I've played so far this year!
