![]() ![]() With the recent announcement of Pokemon Gold and Silver for the 3DS VC I will certainly have to transfer my first GEN 2 Pokemon up to GEN 7! I'd totally forgotten about this until I found the old floppy. It appears i'd played for 20 and a half hours back then and managed to get the first 10 gym badges. Togepi at level 5, i believe I had the egg in my party for almost the entire game for it to eventually hatch On this disk was a zip with various saves from the NO$GMB emulator, including the save from the somewhat translated Pokemon Gold we used to play. This floppy with all my save games is something i recently came across, despite not been touched for 17+ years going by the dates of the files on it I was able to copy everything off it. With Windows 98 been as stable as it was back then the younger me was smart enough to backup my save games on floppy disks, as i'd already lost everything more than once due to multiple PC crashes. We would then go to eachothers house with our save games on a floppy disk to play Pokemon together and trade. I remember my friend took a copy on a floppy disk home with him so he could play on his PC too. What was even more cool at the time was the NO$GMB emulator could emulate the game twice, meaning we could both play using different keys on the keyboard and trade Pokemon with each other. Needless to say we were amazed and slowly downloaded it. We found a Geocities site which had the NO$GMB emulator and a vary basic translation of Pokemon Gold, i seem to remember this had the menu's, items and Pokemon names along with the story to around the 3rd gym translated to English. I was however limited to 1 hour a week on the internet so we didn't get a really expensive phone bill.Īs it happened I'd not used my internet allowance for the weekend yet, so I remember we connected to the internet and searched on Yahoo. ![]() For some context back then the internet was just becoming affordable, 1p a minute dial-up internet was something Freeserve started to offer here in the UK, which finally persuaded my parents to let us get the internet. To us this seemed amazing as we had no idea more Pokemon games than Red and Blue even existed, keep in mind at this point Pokemon Yellow hadn't even been released in Europe yet.Įmulators and roms didn't really mean anything to either of us, however I did have limited access to the internet. He said someone at his school said he had a new Pokemon game called Gold and Silver which was only out in Japan and could play it on his PC with something called an Emulator. I remember one weekend my friend who's Granddad lived a few houses down the street came around to visit. During development, the games had the tentative titles of Pocket Monsters 2 (Japanese: 2) or Pokémon 2. These we're on a 17 year old floppy disk, dating back to by the looks of it.īack then Pokemon Gold / Silver had only been released in Japan and would not be released in Europe until almost a year later, however i didn't know any of that back then. Pokémon Gold Version (Japanese: Pocket Monsters: Gold) and Pokémon Silver Version (Japanese: Pocket Monsters: Silver) were the first core series games of Generation II for the Game Boy Color. As I started to play this game, I was thinking it’s just going to be the same as all the others but flips it completely over and changes it up massively.I thought i'd share a story of some really old Pokemon I found this weekend. The ending and the progress through this game creates a true masterpiece. You get to fight the main character from the first game in the hardest battle of the game. After defeating the champion, you can then go to the Kanto Region where the previous game Red and Blue is set, and you can then take on the gym leaders from that game all leading up to the final battle. Although this game is very similar to the other Pokémon games, it has a massive difference from the rest. Then you also need to defeat the Pokémon leaders called the Elite Four to go on to defeat the Champion. You also must deal with Team Rocket, who are up to no good as usual. Then having a rival who has picked one of the other two Pokémon left. The plot is simple as you pick a Pokémon out of three at the start of Pokémon. ![]()
