Pokémon Gold and Silver (GBC)

Pokémon Gold and Silver (GBC) are role-playing video games created by Game Freak and released by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color in 1999. They are the first installments in the Pokémon video game series' second generation. They were first released in Japan in 1999, then in Australia and North America in 2000, and finally in Europe in 2001. A year later, an improved version, Pokémon Crystal, was released in each region. On the tenth anniversary of Gold and Silver, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes for the Nintendo DS were released in 2009.

The games introduce 100 new Pokémon species and follow the player character's progress in their quest to master Pokémon battling. Both games are independent of one another but share a similar plot. While both can be played independently, trading between these games and their predecessors is required to fully complete each game's Pokédex. The Pokémon anime's Johto Saga is based on the new region introduced in the games.

When Pokémon Gold and Silver were released, they received widespread praise. Some consider them the best games in the series, as well as some of the most important games of the fifth generation of video game consoles. They built on the enormous success of Pokémon Red and Blue, establishing Pokémon as a multibillion-dollar franchise. The games nearly matched the sales of Red and Blue, and by 2010, they had sold over 23 million units, making them the best-selling games for the Game Boy Color and the third-best-selling games for the entire Game Boy family of systems.
