[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the Johto region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon, as well as trying to contact their missing leader using radio broadcasts. | [[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the Johto region.

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]]. Unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, Suicune takes notice of the player; similarly, [[Eusine]] shows interest in Suicune, having sought it for ten years and finally taking a glimpse at it thanks to the player. As Eusine challenges the player to a battle near [[Cianwood City]], it becomes clear that Eusine wants to earn Suicune's respect so that he can find out what it is that it looks after. However, it is when the player is entrusted with [[Clear Bell] that the [[Wise Trio]] allow them to enter the Tin Tower, where Suicune has arrived to put them to the test. Later in the story, after the player has proven their ability to touch the souls of Pokémon by catching all three of the legendary beasts, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tin Tower after 150 years of testing humans from afar. | Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]].

As in all previous games, the main goal of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym Leader]]s, win all eight badges, and take on the {{jo|Elite Four}} and the current League's {{pkmn|champion}}. Afterwards, the player will be able to travel to the region of [[Kanto]] and get the chance to take on its Gym Leaders for their badges. After winning all eight, Professor Oak will give the player permission to go to [[Mt. Silver]] and get the chance to face the protagonist from [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}. | As in all previous games, the main goal of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym Leader]]s, win all eight badges, and take on the {{jo|Elite Four}} and the current League's {{pkmn|champion}}.

* Why the | * Why the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB|Mobile Adapter]] features were not made available in the English version has never been officially revealed; Nintendo says that they had FCC issues, but it is more likely a result of children with cell phones being not nearly as common outside of Japan in 2001, and there being a plethora of different styles of phones in use in North America. While the Mobile Adapter system did not make the cut, the maps and text for the system can still be found in the English version, indicating that it was initially intended for the English release. | ||
