Pokémon Gold and Silver, originally released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, revolutionized the Pokémon franchise. Praised for their innovative features, including a real-time clock affecting gameplay and the introduction of 100 new Pokémon (Gen 2), such as Pichu, Cleffa, Hoothoot, Chikorita, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, and Lugia, these games left a lasting impact. A decade later, the Nintendo DS saw the release of the remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
