'''Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS''' (Japanese: '''ポケットピカチュウカラー 金・銀といっしょ!''' ''Pocket Pikachu Color! Gold & Silver Together!''), known as the '''Pokémon Pikachu Color''' in Europe and '''Pokémon Pikachu Color Gold & Silver''' in Australia and New Zealand, is a {{wp|step counter}} and virtual pet toy. | |||
It was released on November 21, 1999 in Japan, October 16, 2000 in the United States, and 2000 in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.<ref name="AUNZ" /> It can communicate with {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via [[infrared]] using the [[Mystery Gift]] function; the player can send [[Watt]]s accumulated by walking, which are then converted into items. The virtual pet toy is a sequel to the [[Pokémon Pikachu]], which was released in 1998. Unlike the original Pokémon Pikachu, the user does not have to take care of {{p|Pikachu}}. | |||
This device served as the inspiration for the [[Pokéwalker]], which comes bundled with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. | |||
