The games feature 100 new Pokémon species, plus the 151 Pokémon of [[Generation I]]. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to a single player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. In addition, most Pokémon associated with events in [[Generation I]], including the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s (discounting {{game|Yellow}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}), the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Fossil Pokémon]], the [[legendary birds]], {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, are absent from all [[Generation II]] games and must be [[Time Capsule|traded over]]. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon introduced in Gold and Silver that can ''only'' be legitimately acquired by attending a Nintendo [[event]]. | The games feature 100 new Pokémon species, plus the 151 Pokémon of [[Generation I]].
