Pokémon Gold and Silver are exciting role-playing video games. They were created by Game Freak and released by Nintendo. You could play them on the Game Boy Color handheld system.
These games are the second main ones in the popular Pokémon series. They introduced many new Pokémon, bringing the total number to 251! The legendary Pokémon Ho-oh is on the cover of Gold. Lugia is featured on the cover of Silver.
About a year later, a special version called Pokémon Crystal came out. It had the legendary Pokémon Suicune on its cover. Pokémon Gold and Silver could even be played on the original Game Boy. However, Pokémon Crystal needed a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance to work.
