Final Note

To the League
Pokémon! 🏆

Pokémon Rainbow Gold revolutionizes Johto and Kanto on NDS. With 493 Pokémon, legendary events, challenging difficulty and quality of life improvements such as infinite MTs and increased shiny rate, it offers a complete and fresh experience.

✨ Super Effective (Pros).

Access to 493 Pokémon up to 4th Generation, all catchable without trading.
Challenging difficulty with renewed equipment for Leaders and High Command, plus new challenges against iconic trainers.
Numerous quality of life upgrades: infinite MTs, Exp. distribution from start, IVs/EVs query and increased Shiny rate.

🔻 Not very effective.... (Cons)

The game is completely in English, which can be a barrier for Spanish-speaking players.
It does not incorporate Pokémon, abilities or mechanics from generations after the fourth generation.
Although the story is expanded, the narrative and regional basis remains the original, with no completely new region or plot.
