Pokémon Silver and Gold released in North America 25 years ago today, and no Pokémon game since has nailed its best feature.
In the quarter-century that Game Freak and Nintendo have been churning out Pokémon games, there have been 39 installments in the mainline series. There are now over 1,000 unique Pokémon, over 64 gyms to defeat, and nine Elite Four rosters to conquer across the Pokémon universe — but somehow the largest, most adventurous entry in the franchise came back in 2000 with the launch of Pokémon Silver and Gold in the U.S.

That’s how Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow ended; why would this entry be any different? Playing this game at 8 years old was mind-blowing. More Pokémon? For free? The vastness of this Pokémon installment is partially why the remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, rank as high as they do Digital Trends’ top 50 games of all-time list.
