Unlike earlier games, Pokémon Gold and Silver take place in the [[Johto]] region, west of the region that the original games take place in, [[Kanto]]. However, Kanto can be traveled to later in the games. | |||
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]]. | 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.
