A Look Back at Pokémon Gold & Silver:

Originally released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, Pokémon Gold and Silver revolutionized the Pokémon world. Critically acclaimed for their innovative features, including an in-game clock affecting Pokémon appearances and events, and the introduction of 100 new Gen 2 Pokémon (Pichu, Cleffa, Hoothoot, Chikorita, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, Lugia, and many more), these games left an indelible mark on gaming history. A decade later, they received a beloved remake: Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver for the Nintendo DS.
