'''Pokémon Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{tt|金|きん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Gold'') and '''Pokémon Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{tt|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Silver''), also respectively known as '''Pocket Monsters: Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターきんバージョン''') and '''Pocket Monsters: Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターぎんバージョン''') in the in-game credits of the Japanese versions, were the first [[core series]] games of [[Generation II]] for the [[Game Boy]]. They were released in Japan on November 21, 1999, in North America on October 15, 2000, and in Europe on April 6, 2001. Like {{game|Red and Green|s|their predecessors}}, they are paired versions, with few differences aside from available {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

As Pokémon had become an international phenomenon already with the release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Yellow}} in North America and other regions, the localized versions of these games were greatly expected. Much like Red and Green (Red and Blue overseas), Gold and Silver were followed shortly by a solitary version with minor changes, {{game|Crystal}}, as well as remakes two [[generation]]s later in the form of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].
