Pokemon Gold/ Silver
Pokémon Gold Version (Japanese: ポケットモンスター 金 Pocket Monsters Gold) and Pokémon Silver Version (Japanese: ポケットモンスター 銀 Pocket Monsters Silver) were the fifth and sixth Pokémon games to be released in Japan. They were released on November 21, 1999. Like Red and Green before them, they are paired versions, with few differences aside from available Pokémon.
As Pokémon had become an international phenomenon already with the release of Red, Blue, and Yellow in North America and other regions, the translated versions of these games were greatly expected, and arrived Stateside on October 15, 2000. Again, much like Red and Green/Blue, Gold and Silver were followed shortly by a third version with minor changes, Pokémon Crystal, as well as remakes two generations later in the form of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Gold and Silver brought with them many changes to the Pokémon world, as the first set of sequels to the Generation I games. Unlike Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow; Gold and Silver take place in the Johto region, west of the region that the original games take place in, Kanto. However, Kanto can be traveled to later in the game. The player begins his journey in New Bark Town, which is fittingly known as "The Town Where Winds of a New Beginning Blow."
