We all have our fond memories of Pokemon. Gold and Silver were my personal favourite versions, because the game is technically twice as long (in Pokemon Geekspeak, I’m referring to the Johto and Kanto regions.

A lot of us don’t have a Nintendo DS. That said, I’m all for paying over $200 for the full-blown version of Pokemon Soulsilver and a new Nintendo DS. However, for those that don’t have access to electronics stores or the budget for it, I’ve got the solution for you.

For Windows users, you can simply download No$GBA 2.6a and the No$Zoomer 2.3. Simply open the No$Zoomer, and then open thecartridge (.nds file) with the emulator. The key here is to find Pokemon Soulsilver (U) nds download, which I unfortunately can not link to (besides, the most obvious link is broken).

Asides from that, the game is sweet. Fans of Pokemon will definitely not be disappointed, as this version is the most graphically polished and mechanically streamlined. I found the walking Pokemon to be a welcome and very refreshing addition to the game; I don’t know why they didn’t do that sooner!

Wish I could say more, but I’m probably around two hours into the game and not too far. However, I will say this — beware as the game does crash on occasion, and do not be afraid to adjust the settings (I found that changing the speed settings to “Unlimited Mhz – 100%” really gave my game an extra boost). Have fun!
