I would rather give these games a rating of 4.4/5, rather than half a 5 star rating. Although it does keep some of the traditional stuff from the classic trilogy, the two (Silver and Gold) games are rather kind of an "eh" from me, based on the information from your review, 'lack of balance between your choices', 'few bad designs', yeah those stuff from yours. I feel kind of stupid writing this whole comment, but it's kind of true. Maybe my whole comment is wrong, I don't know, but these games are still good, but still have a few downside, as said before. I've never played any Pokemon game except for the Red version, so that's why.
