'''Generation II''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|世代|いちせだい}}ＩＩ}}''' ''Generation II''), also referred to as the '''Gold & Silver series''' in {{game|Crystal}}'s box blurb and instruction manual, and sometimes called the '''metal generation''' or '''metallic generation''' by older players due to the names of the paired [[Core series|version]]s, is the second generation of Pokémon games. It is a sequel to the [[Generation I]] games {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}. It was not given an official name until after the release of the cast commentary for the ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Detective Pikachu]]'' film where the Roman-numeral form was officially given by the subtitles.
 
The '''second generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第二世代|だいにせだい}}}}''' ''second generation'') of Pokémon games, referred to as the '''Gold & Silver series''' in {{game|Crystal}}'s box blurb and instruction manual, and sometimes called the '''metal generation''' or '''metallic generation''' by older players due to the names of the paired [[Core series|version]]s, is a sequel to the [[Generation I]] games {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}.


Beginning with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver]] and later joined by {{game|Crystal}}, Generation II began the Pokémon series' expansion-focused nature, introducing to the world {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}} which did not exist and are unable to be obtained in the Generation I games, and the new region of [[Johto]]. Many of these Pokémon expand the [[evolution]] families of older Pokémon, while a majority of them are brand-new evolutionary families.
