Generation II: Difference between revisions

** A two-stage, cat-like evolutionary line was not introduced.

** New types were introduced.

* In terms of release dates, Generation II is the shortest generation in Japan, with exactly three years between the release of Gold and Silver and Ruby and Sapphire. All other generations have had closer to four years between the release of their primary version pair and the primary pair of the next generation.

* Generation II leaves the least extra space for Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Storage System}} if one of every species is caught. Only {{tt|280|270 Pokémon in the Japanese versions due to differences in storage.}} Pokémon may be obtained at once; there are 251 different Pokémon species available in this generation.

* Generation II features the first main series game, Crystal, whose Japanese title is in katakana only ''and'' that uses an English word, rather than using the Japanese counterpart word in kanji. No game since has been named in kanji.

* Unlike other Generations, should player use a cheat in Generation II game to get into tall grass without a Pokémon, the fight will instantly end (and be treated as victory in case of Trainers), instead of sending a glitch Pokémon.
