A Look Back at Pokémon Gold & Silver
Originally released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, Pokémon Gold and Silver revolutionized the franchise with innovative features like an in-game clock affecting Pokémon appearances and events. Introducing 100 new Pokémon (Gen 2), including fan favorites like Pichu, Cleffa, Hoothoot, Chikorita, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, and Lugia, the games cemented their place in Pokémon history. A decade later, the Nintendo DS saw the release of the acclaimed remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
