A marginal improvement over Pokemon Red and Blue, you have more elements from the anime here, such as being able to have all three starters, Jessie and James from Team Rocket, and a Pikachu that follows you.
The beginning of the game is a lot more difficult because of Pikachu (unless you catch a Mankey to help you), but the wider variety of Pokemon makes this the version you'll want to pick when choosing a Gen 1 game.

I feel like this game takes a lot longer to get into than the original, as I'm not really connecting with it as I wish I would. Still, a very good looking game, and a great returning cast from the first game will make this something I return to later.

So far love the way this game plays and it feels really good for a beat 'em up. The story's not really interesting but I don't think that was ever the point of these games, so no points docked for that.

This game still manages to be enjoyable to this very day because of how broken it is. You have so much freedom in creating teams of you favorite pokemon if you know the proper glitches, which are fun in their own respect.
Still, as a short-and-sweet Pokemon game, it's hard to go wrong here. There are better Pokemon games, but these are always gonna be the first.

It's really not as terrible as everyone says it is. Is it a good game? No, but it's not awful either. It's a play once and never again affair but it kept me entertained for a minute or two back in the day.

With a super realistic setting for the time and a cast of memorable characters, it's no wonder why this game is still fondly remembered even to this day.
Very gorgeous game that's super fun to play. I picked it up on a sale so I got into it late, other games have taken precedent over it, but I've enjoyed every moment of it so far.

The classic levels were pretty good, but I wish there were a lot more modern levels because I enjoyed the heck out of those.
Yeah this game really is god-awful. The controls are complicated, the content is lacking, and the graphics are this pre-rendered claymation BS that just looks like garbage. This is easily one of the worst, if not THE worst, fighting game ever made, though Tongue of the Fatman might say otherwise.

The control was slippery, the camera was bad, and there were way too many missions that I couldn't possibly finished all of them, but let me tell you, I don't /think/ it was the worst game I've ever played....
I love Pokemon Gold and Silver, and when these games were announced in 2009, I was ecstatic. I bought an R4 and played translated roms of this game until they were brought over to the US, because at the time, it was a gamble if we'd actually ever get them, and I'm glad we did, because this game has so many quality-of-life improvements not over just the original Gold and Silver, but for Gen 4 games as well, that to list them all would take up too much space. These games rule.
This and Pokemon Black/2 White/2 is where Pokemon excellence peaked. Every generation after these games may have presented fun new ideas, but never went anywhere with them.

I hadn't played the original until I got a proper SNES years later, but I had heard great things about Super Star, so upon this game's announcement, I had to get it. Hoooo boy, I LOVE this game. It just plays so darn good as a Kirby game should, and there's tooooons of Kirby content packed into digestible mini stories that don't force you to rush playing the game all at once and get burned out. This is the best Kirby game around, hands down.

A super fun and charming twin-stick hack-and-slash and on-rail shooter with an all-star cast of funny and cute characters. Its only flaw is its control scheme, which is well-noted in the other reviews.
2018
This game rules. It plays like a classic Sonic game with some new tweaks. Honestly everything I could have ever wanted.
I'm not going to go through all the cliches that everyone else has already said, but if you haven't played this game yet, do it now.
