Pokémon Previews
You can download some of the games mentioned below, as well as others, in the Pokémon for the Computer section. All of the release dates below are official from Nintendo, but they are subject to change, and they probably will.
Pokémon Card GB (Game Boy Color)
Expected Release Date: March 24, 2000
Pokémon Cards for Gameboy? What's this about? How do you get a card game to fit into a Game Boy? And why is it that Gamefreak is always trying to make guides to their games? The TV show is a guide for the original game and now this gameboy game is a guide for the Wizards of the Coast game. Thats right, this game is just like the game you actually play with cards, except its on a Game Boy. You can battle and trade just like in real life, but instead is all saved on a hard drive. I have no idea how to get new cards. I don't understand this game. Maybe when Nintendo releases more information...
Pokémon
Attack (Game Boy Color)
Expected Release Date:
Summer 2000
This is a puzzle game with Pokémon characters. It is speculated that it will be a remake of Mario Picross, because a remake with Pokémon characters was already released in Japan. The only thing we can be sure about is that it is a puzzle game, but it is very likely that it will be a remake of Picross.
Pokémon Gold & Silver (Game Boy Color)
Expected Release Date: Fall 2000
The sequel to the ever popular Pokémon Red and Blue will be Pokémon Gold and Silver. The Gold and Silver editions of Pokémon feature a brand new adventure and over 100 new Pokémon, pushing the total past 250. The new editions will also support the Game Boy Color, allowing you to view your team in full Pokécolor. Male and female versions of each Pokémon will exist (similar to the Nidoran versions in the red and blue editions), allowing you to breed new Pokémon and add them to your squad. Time will cycle from night to day. Pokémon will sleep at certain times of thje day, and they will nly fight when they are awake. Certain Pokémon will be able to equip weapons and other items. This will probably only apply to the new Pokémon, as (with the exceptions of Farfetch'd and Cubone) none of the old Pokémon carry weapons. The new main character will certainly have new items -- he'll now able to ride a skateboard, and his Pokédex will be upgraded to allow you to view the stats of your Pokémon before they evolved.
The most requested new feature, of course, is more Pokémon, and Nintendo has listened. Among the 100 new Pokémon are Mariru, a blue mouse-like creature; Buru, a bull-like Pokémon; Togepy the egg; Donfan, an elephant; and Houou, the fourth Legendary Bird. Some of the original Pokémon will also be able to evolve into new forms -- for example, a third form of Slowpoke and Slowbro will appear. As in the first editions, certain Pokémon will only be available in Gold, while others can be obtained in just Silver. Trainers who spent many long hours creating the ultimate Pokémon team will be happy to know that their entire collection can be transferred into the new games. The Gold and Silver editions are not backwards-compatible, however -- Gold and Silver Pokémon cannot be imported into Red, Blue, or Yellow, nor can they can be pitted against trainers who own only an early edition.
