As none of the [[Generation I|first generation]] or [[Generation III|third generation]] were released in South Korea, it was not until April 24, 2002 when {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released for the [[Game Boy Color]] in South Korean stores. Unlike previous localizations of Pokémon Gold and Silver, these versions are not playable on the original [[Game Boy]] at all, and display an incompatibility message if inserted into an original Game Boy, like [[Pokémon Crystal]]. <ref>[http://mgaver.tistory.com/122 Hangeru Team (Korean Pokémon blog)]</ref> For unknown reasons, Pokémon Crystal was never released in the Korean language, although it may be of note that the Game Boy Color's lifespan overseas was almost finished.
