While not my first Pokémon game (Diamond is my first which was also goated, tho Platinum was a better version for sure), this is definitely my favorite. As a fan who grew up on the Gen 1 & 2 anime, I was very excited to play this game when I finally did. I had never played the original GB games so it was awesome discovering things like Johto and Kanto being connected in one game and how you battle Red as the game's final boss. Plus I always liked Lugia's design which is why I chose this version over HeartGold. And probably my favorite feature of the game was the ability to let one of your Pokémon follow you in the overworld like the way Ash's Pikachu did. Not to mention the OST is kickass. This was also the game where I tried completing the Pokédex and catching every Pokémon I could legitimately, without having any friends to trade with or using hacks. Ironically enough tho, I tried using a friend's Action Replay to get legendaries but it corrupted my save file, losing years of progress. Which led my dumbass to sell my original copy. And seeing how expensive it is to buy a legit copy of SoulSilver now, I deeply regret doing that...

I beat both Hgold and Ssilver.
First half is fun. After you go to Kanto that half is boring. all you do is use animal slaves to get 16 buttons that hold no value but blood.
Anyways. first half was good because you had to do stuff and it had a story. 2nd half was boring because it just felt empty beating easy gym leaders.
The elite four is a bit challenging. Poison, and Umbreon give you a fight if you do not come prepared.
The champ is easy. all you have to do is use your slave and shoot ice and dragon at his slaves and you win.
Overall its a fun game. Just an empty second half of game.
