I grew up with the old Pokemon editions of the GBC and play even now regularly and having fun. Since it's obvious that I'll get also the remake of Golden / Silver Edition. The gameplay has not changed, except that it is based on the 4th generation games, and the story is down to tiny changes to Suicune and the Kimono Girls equal. The Pokéwalker is also a big plus. Now you can train his Pokemon without playing. By the way. And the steps are incidentally also counted on the bike, for the very convenient ^^
