More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in these games. A {{ball|Lure}} is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], a Heavy Ball is used to catch large, heavy Pokémon like {{p|Snorlax}}, and a {{ball|Friend}} will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its Trainer much more quickly. To obtain these Balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different Balls based on their color. However, Kurt can only make one Ball at a time, and players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the Ball.

===New features===
==Advances in gameplay==
Gold and Silver introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed. Gold and Silver introduced the concept of storing items such as healing items, [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[Key Item]]s in separate compartments in the [[Bag]]. The updated battle screen showed both how much [[experience]] points a Pokémon had until its next level and whether an encountered wild Pokémon's species has already been captured. Also, held items raised the bar for strategy, allowing players to outspeed opponents, heal ailments, restore {{stat|HP}} in {{pkmn|battle}}, boost the power of moves of a specific type, or increase the Pokémon's [[friendship]], among other uses. All {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled by the player had their own unique name, and some would be available for rematches later in the game.
Gold and Silver introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed.  


A [[Time|time system]] was also introduced. Throughout the game, Pokémon appearances are influenced by time of day: morning, day, and night. {{p|Hoothoot}}, for example, only appears at night (since it's an owl-like Pokémon). Certain events are also determined by the day of the week, like the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which is held in Johto's [[National Park]] on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Depending on the day of the week, either "{{DL|Radio in the Pokémon world|Pokémon March}}" or "{{DL|Radio in the Pokémon world|Pokémon Lullaby}}" can be heard on the PokéGear radio. Pokémon March raises the chance of a Pokémon appearing when the player walks into the grass, while Pokémon Lullaby decreases that chance.

** This increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for Defense and Special Defense. For example, {{p|Cloyster}} has a decent Special stat in Generation I, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense.

* [[Pokérus]] (a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "virus") was introduced. Encountering a Pokémon with the virus is even rarer than encountering a Shiny Pokémon, with the odds estimated to be somewhere around a 1 in 21,845 chance. Pokérus doubles the special experience (a concept adapted to later installments as [[effort values]]) that the player's Pokémon gain each time the infected Pokémon participates in battle (provided the battle is won and the infected Pokémon does not faint).


====Breeding====
===Graphics===
With the introduction of {{pkmn|breeding}}, all Pokémon belong to one or two [[Egg Group]]s. It is important to note that [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred; they are genderless, and will not breed, even with a {{p|Ditto}} (which can breed with any Pokémon capable of breeding).
* The way the game handles color on the world map has been improved.
** Overworld sprites no longer change their palettes when moving between areas.
* The updated battle screen showed both how much [[experience]] points a Pokémon had until its next level and whether an encountered wild Pokémon's species has already been captured.  


A baby Pokémon will be born when a male Pokémon and a female Pokémon that share at least one Egg Group are left at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. In the case of Pokémon that are always male ({{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Tauros}}, etc.), or Pokémon who can breed but whose gender is unknown ({{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}), the only way to produce a baby from these species is by breeding them with a Ditto.
===Music===
* In Kanto region, remixes of most of the overworld and battle music from the Generation I games are used. Some notable exceptions include Cinnabar Island's music and the music from various Team Rocket hideouts.


A baby Pokémon will inherit the species of its mother (or non-Ditto parent in the case of a Ditto breeding) and inheritable moves from its father (when it's not a Ditto). Fathers always pass down [[TM]] moves that the baby's species could learn, which are valuable (since some are only obtainable one time). If both parents know a move that the baby's species learns by leveling up, the baby is born knowing that move as well. Fathers may also pass down special moves called "Egg moves" to the baby that it would not normally be able to learn by leveling up or evolving.
===Types===
* Two new [[type]]s were introduced: {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}}.
** These two types serve to balance the {{t|Psychic}} type, which previously was only weak to {{type|Bug}} moves. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{t|Fighting}} type, which was only [[super effective]] against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon; Steel and Dark are both weak to Fighting-type moves. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their very high defense; they are highly resistant to many types and their moves are strong against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, such as {{m|Bite}} (previously {{type|Normal}}) and {{m|Thief}}, which are super-effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are also strong against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, thus being the only type that has an attack advantage over Ghost-type Pokémon besides Ghost-type moves themselves. Dark-type Pokémon are also weak to Bug-type attacks.
* Some type match-ups were changed as well.
** In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the anime. {{type|Poison}} moves were previously super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, and Bug-type moves were super effective against Poison-type Pokémon; this was changed to Poison doing normal damage to Bug and Bug becoming not very effective against Poison, seriously limiting the effectiveness and usage of both types. Ice-type moves were also made not very effective against {{type|Fire}} Pokémon (previously doing normal damage). Four moves had their types changed: {{m|Gust}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Flying}} move; {{m|Bite}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Dark}} move; {{m|Karate Chop}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Fighting}} move; {{m|Sand-Attack}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Ground}} move. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}, changed from being {{t|Electric}} type to being {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}.


====Shiny Pokémon====
==Regions==
These games introduced [[Shiny Pokémon]]—Pokémon which have a different coloring than their species has normally, and which appear very rarely (a 1 in 8192 chance). In these games, Shiny Pokémon often have higher stats than regular Pokémon, but can never achieve maximum stats for that species (as Shininess is based on the Pokémon's {{IV}}s in this generation).
===Johto===
 
In this generation, the odds of an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatching into a Shiny Pokémon can be significantly increased if one or both parents are Shiny.
 
There is one Pokémon guaranteed to be Shiny: a [[Red Gyarados]] can be found at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Since it is part of the storyline, it is impossible not to encounter this Pokémon as Shiny.
 
====Pokérus====
[[Pokérus]] (a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "virus") was introduced. Encountering a Pokémon with the virus is even rarer than encountering a Shiny Pokémon, with the odds estimated to be somewhere around a 1 in 21,845 chance. Pokérus doubles the special experience (a concept adapted to later installments as [[effort values]]) that the player's Pokémon gain each time the infected Pokémon participates in battle (provided the battle is won and the infected Pokémon does not faint).
 
====Type and stat changes====
Two new [[type]]s were introduced: {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}}. These two types serve to balance the {{t|Psychic}} type, which previously was only weak to {{type|Bug}} moves. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{t|Fighting}} type, which was only [[super effective]] against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon; Steel and Dark are both weak to Fighting-type moves. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their very high defense; they are highly resistant to many types and their moves are strong against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, such as {{m|Bite}} (previously {{type|Normal}}) and {{m|Thief}}, which are super-effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are also strong against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, thus being the only type that has an attack advantage over Ghost-type Pokémon besides Ghost-type moves themselves. Dark-type Pokémon are also weak to Bug-type attacks.
 
Some type match-ups were changed as well. In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the anime. {{type|Poison}} moves were previously super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, and Bug-type moves were super effective against Poison-type Pokémon; this was changed to Poison doing normal damage to Bug and Bug becoming not very effective against Poison, seriously limiting the effectiveness and usage of both types. Ice-type moves were also made not very effective against {{type|Fire}} Pokémon (previously doing normal damage). Four moves had their types changed: {{m|Gust}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Flying}} move; {{m|Bite}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Dark}} move; {{m|Karate Chop}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Fighting}} move; {{m|Sand-Attack}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Ground}} move. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}, changed from being {{t|Electric}} type to being {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}.
 
Another major change from the original games was the splitting of the {{Stat|Special}} stat into {{Stat|Special Attack}} and {{Stat|Special Defense}}. Again, this increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for Defense and Special Defense. For example, {{p|Cloyster}} has a decent Special stat in Generation I, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense.
 
===Regions===
====Johto====
{{main|Johto}}
{{main|Johto}}
Gold and Silver introduced a new region to the Pokémon universe, Johto, located directly west of the Kanto region featured in Generation I. Johto's culture is notably more old-fashioned than Kanto's, especially in the more rural areas, which are more plentiful than in Kanto. Like Kanto, it has a sea to the south and mountains to the north.

* Due to a power outage, a key is no longer required to open the door to [[Lt. Surge]], and the garbage cans in his Gym are all empty (save for trash).
Changes concerning the wild Pokémon available in Kanto:
* A volcano has destroyed [[Cinnabar Island]], leaving a water-filled crater behind. However, the [[Pokémon Center]] is still available as usual, as the only building left. {{ga|Blue}} mentions that the "whole town" disappeared, which may imply that the Pokémon Center was destroyed and rebuilt.
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Generation II Pokémon can be found not only in Johto, but in Kanto as well.
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are no longer found in Kanto, logically because they have already been caught in Generation I. The [[Cerulean Cave]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} are also gone, though a man near the cave ruins does mention the dungeon, and a hidden item called the [[Berserk Gene]] can be found in the water near its former entrance.
* Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the {{Safari|Kanto}} can be caught in wild areas, such as {{p|Rhyhorn}} in {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}} in [[Rock Tunnel]].
* [[Bill]]'s house ([[Sea Cottage]]) is still present at the Cerulean Cape, but Bill is currently visiting his family in Johto's [[Goldenrod City]]. The house is being watched over by his grandfather.
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}} are unavailable, which may imply that they have already been caught in Generation I.
* [[Blaine]] has moved his Gym to one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] due to [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]]'s volcanic eruption. As a result, no wild Pokémon can be found in the Seafoam Islands.
 
* {{ga|Blue}} (Green in the Japanese versions), the rival of Generation I, is now the leader of the [[Viridian City]] [[Viridian Gym|Gym]]. [[Giovanni]] is nowhere to be seen, though he is clearly mentioned many times, as Team Rocket aims to find him.
Changes concerning the geography of Kanto:
* {{ga|Red}}, the Generation I protagonist, appears in Johto's [[Mt. Silver]], serving as the game's true final challenge. His highest level Pokémon is a level 81 Pikachu. Red also has a {{p|Snorlax}} at level 75, a {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, each at level 77, and a level 73 {{p|Espeon}}. The first five Pokémon are specially obtainable in Pokémon Yellow.
* The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her [[Lost Item|lost doll]]. According to her mother, this is the same [[Poké Doll|doll]] that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].
* Kanto Gym Leaders use Generation II Pokémon in addition to Generation I Pokémon.
* Remixes of most of the overworld and battle music from the Generation I games are used. Some notable exceptions include Cinnabar Island's music and the music from various Team Rocket hideouts.
* Most [[route]]s were shortened, but cities and towns generally remained the same size except [[Celadon City]], which shrank slightly.

* [[Viridian Forest]] is unavailable as a standalone area, being replaced by shrubs located in a small section of {{rt|2|Kanto}}.
* The entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Team Rocket Hideout|headquarters]] in the basement of the Celadon City [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] has been removed, although a man in Celadon's Pokémon Center alludes to it.
** There is no grass within these shrubs, so technically wild Pokémon cannot be caught in the Viridian Forest. Wild Pokémon are still available elsewhere in the grass of {{rt|2|Kanto}}.
* [[Mt. Moon]] is dramatically reduced in size, now consisting of only one base floor with a couple of connectors.
* [[Diglett's Cave]] and [[Rock Tunnel]] have a similar layout as they did before, but reduced in size.
* The formerly-abandoned [[Kanto Power Plant]] is now used to power the new Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of the Pokémon that once infested the plant in Generation I).
* The formerly-abandoned [[Kanto Power Plant]] is now used to power the new Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of the Pokémon that once infested the plant in Generation I).
* The [[Miracle Cycle|bike shop]] in [[Cerulean City]] is closed, and the owners have moved to Goldenrod City in Johto.
* The {{ka|old man}} in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, and asks if the player believes him, but does not attempt to teach this time around.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]]'s master is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a [[Focus Band]] left behind. The [[Kiyo|master]] is training in [[Mt. Mortar]] in Johto. When found and defeated, he will give away a {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science|museum]] in [[Pewter City]] is closed for renovations.
* The other caverns and [[Viridian Forest]] all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of [[Mt. Moon]] and the Seafoam Islands), but reduced in size.
* [[Koga]], the former Gym Leader of [[Fuchsia City]] and now a member of the [[Elite Four]], has been replaced by his daughter [[Janine]].
* The [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] has been replaced by a [[Lavender Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], similar to the one in [[Goldenrod City]]. In turn, the Pokémon grave sites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Access to the upper floors of this Radio Tower is restricted, a safety precaution taken as a result of Team Rocket's takeover of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto's Radio Tower]].
* The {{ka|Safari Zone}} is closed while the [[Baoba|warden]] is on a vacation. Instead, the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] at the [[National Park]] takes its place.
* The {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to vandalism. A sign cites local complaints about battles there and a local Biker Gang complains about it closing down because it was their base.

* The main cave of [[Seafoam Islands]] is unavaible. As a result, no wild Pokémon can be found in the Seafoam Islands.
* Route 23 has been reduced to a short path leading between {{ka|Victory Road}}'s exit and [[Indigo Plateau]].
* Victory Road's length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, Trainers, and pressure sensors. Trainers can be found outside, but no longer in Victory Road itself.
