{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Gold and Silver}}

'''Pokémon Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター　金}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Gold'') and '''Pokémon Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター　銀}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Silver'') were the first [[core series]] games of [[Generation II]] for the [[Game Boy Color]].

During development, the games had the tentative titles of '''Pocket Monsters 2''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター２}}''')<ref name="NoJ97"/> or '''Pokémon 2''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケモン２}}''')<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120621104801/http://www.geocities.jp/bgrtype/gsl/words2/pokemon2/pokemon2.html ポケモン２(仮)]</ref> and '''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold & Silver''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター2　金・銀}}'''),<ref name="NoJ97">[https://web.archive.org/web/19970627055949/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/kingin/index.html ポケットモンスター2]</ref> along with a provisional release date of "late 1997".<ref name="NoJ97"/> The number 2 was dropped as of {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} ’97 in November 1997.

Originally announced for a March 1998 release in Nintendo Space World '97,<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html SPACEWORLD'97 出展　GAME BOYソフト]</ref> the games had their launch date postponed, with [[Nintendo]] issuing a public apology where it is claimed that the developers are worn out but fully committed to the project and that they require more time to expand and improve the games further.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19980530125759/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/kingin/enki.html ポケットモンスター金・銀発売延期のお知らせとお詫び]</ref> They were eventually released in Japan on November 21, 1999, in North America on October 15, 2000, and in Europe on April 6, 2001. In {{pmin|South Korea}}, Nintendo collaborated with {{wp|Daewon C.I.|Daewon}} to release the games in the country, which occurred on April 24, 2002; the Korean versions are solely compatible with the Game Boy Color, which was released there in 2000, also by Daewon.<ref>[http://bbs2.ruliweb.daum.net/gaia/do/ruliweb/default/nds/84/read?bbsId=G003&itemId=5&articleId=1372618 게임보이 발매 25주년 | Daum 루리웹] ([https://archive.today/CJqGo archived copy])</ref>

The games were released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] on September 22, 2017.

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]].

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.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main game===
{{ga|Ethan|The player}} begins their journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver{{sup/2|G}} or Gold{{sup/2|S}}) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the Egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.

After defeating Falkner for the {{Badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the Egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are legendary in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a {{ball|Lure}} and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{Badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up, however, unlike the one found in [[Kanto]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}, it is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. If these Pokémon are [[Egg Group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon Egg]] can be produced.

Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third Badge, the {{Badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Badge, receiving a [[SquirtBottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be occurring at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in Ecruteak, where the {{type|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{Badge|Fog}}.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Path]] is blocked by another man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]].

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}s charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they receive the [[Red Scale]]. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the Magikarp in the lake to evolve into Gyarados, which caused the effect of the Red Gyarados. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a [[Rainbow Wing]] to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a [[Silver Wing]] to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the Gold and Silver versions respectively. The player can either go to the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] or the [[Whirl Islands]] at this point, to challenge Ho-Oh or Lugia, respectively; alternatively, they can go straight to {{rt|44|Johto}}, now unblocked, and through the [[Ice Path]] to get to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair requires the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve a [[Dragon Fang]]. When the player finds the item, they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], traveling down {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|46|Johto}}.

Professor Elm contacts the player, and awards them with a {{ball|Master}} when visited. From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], who specializes in {{t|Poison}} Pokémon. Following is [[Bruno]], who uses {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{t|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]], challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, {{prof|Oak}} and his co-host on [[Radio in the Pokémon world#Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.

===Postgame===
After the credits roll, the player ends up back in [[New Bark Town]] in their room; however, Professor Elm calls, requesting a favor. After visiting his lab, he gives the player an [[S.S. Ticket]] that allows access to the [[S.S. Aqua]], a ship that travels to and from [[Kanto]], the region that Elm wishes for them to explore. On the first entry into the S.S. Aqua, a man will bump into the player, and will ask them for help as he has lost his granddaughter on the ship. After locating her in the captain's cabin and reuniting her with his grandfather, the ship will arrive in [[Vermilion City]], where the player will take their true first steps in Kanto.

At this point, the player is given free rein to travel throughout the (scaled-down) Kanto region, and collect the eight Badges from [[Generation I]]'s [[Indigo League#Gym Leaders of the Indigo League|Gym Leaders]]. The player can accomplish this in any order; however, certain events must be completed before some Leaders can be challenged. For example, a Team Rocket grunt has stolen a [[Machine Part]] from the [[Kanto Power Plant]] and hidden it inside [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]]; the grunt must be fought and the Machine Part restored to the Power Plant before [[Misty]] can be found at [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]] and persuaded to return to the Gym. [[Giovanni]], the previous Leader of [[Viridian City]], has now left, and former Indigo {{pkmn|Champion}} {{ga|Blue}} is now its Leader; however, Blue is at the site of [[Cinnabar Island]], musing over its destruction by the local volcano's eruption. When found there, Blue will return to [[Viridian Gym]] to be battled. Blaine was the Leader of [[Cinnabar Gym]]; when the town was destroyed, he took refuge in one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] and can be fought there.

When the player has earned all eight Kanto Badges (and, therefore, all sixteen Badges in the game), Oak allows them to venture to {{rt|28|Kanto}} and, past it, [[Mt. Silver|Silver Cave]], a location where only the greatest of Trainers can venture. Silver Cave is a grand set of open tunnels and passages which are riddled with powerful Pokémon, but the player continues to travel through to the end of the cave, where {{ga|Red}}, now a [[Pokémon Master]], stands alone to be fought. When Red is defeated, the credits roll again and, afterward, the player is deposited at Route 28's [[Pokémon Center]], outside of Silver Cave.

==Blurb==
Enter a whole new world, with new Pokémon to capture, train and battle! Meet Professor Elm and get the all-new [[Pokégear|Poké Gear]], including {{DL|Pokégear|map}}, {{DL|Pokégear|radio}}, [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] and [[Pokégear#Time|clock]]. Set the clock then watch as day turns to night and events take place in real [[time]]— and be sure to keep an eye out for Pokémon that come out only at night!

==Connectivity==
Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair or the Generation I games, and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the [[Pokédex]]. The games can trade and battle with Pokémon Gold, Silver, and {{v2|Crystal}}. Using the [[Time Capsule]], the Japanese versions can trade with Japanese versions of {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}; and the Western and Korean versions can trade with Western versions of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. The cartridge releases of Pokémon Gold and Silver are completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward.

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed. Korean games can trade and battle with Western language games; however, while the Korean games do support the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}, the Western language games do not support {{wp|Hangul}}, so the names and [[Original Trainer]]s of Pokémon from Korean games will use a variety of unrelated characters located at equivalent codepoints to display Korean names (potentially including {{wp|control character}}s, which may cause a variety of issues).

Pokémon Gold and Silver are compatible with {{g|Stadium 2}}. While link battles are not possible directly between Pokémon Gold and Silver and the Generation I games, a player may challenge a Generation I game using Pokémon Stadium 2. Japanese Pokémon Stadium 2 can communicate with Japanese Generation I and II core series games, but not other languages; Western Pokémon Stadium 2 can communicate with Western Generation I and II core series games, but it does not recognize Japanese games and cannot read the save file from Korean games.

Pokémon Gold and Silver are also compatible with the [[Game Boy Printer]]. It is possible to print Pokédex entries, the [[Diploma]], [[Pokémon Storage System]] Boxes, [[Party]] Pokémon, [[Mail]], and [[Ruins of Alph|Alph Ruins]] Stamps.

===Mystery Gift===
{{main|Mystery Gift#Generation II|Mystery Gift → Generation II}}
Mystery Gift is a 2-player feature that allows players to be gifted a random item by interacting with another player. This feature uses the [[infrared]] port on the [[Game Boy Color]]. The games that support Mystery Gift are Pokémon Gold, Silver, and {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS]]. Mystery Gift can be used up to five times per day, receiving no more than one gift from each player each day.

When Mystery Gift is used to connect to another Generation II [[core series]] game, each of the connected games will receive a random item, and the opponent in the [[Trainer House]] will be replaced by that other player. When it is used to connect to Pokémon Stadium 2, the handheld game will receive an item; some items can only be received when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS, the player decides on a number of {{OBP|Watt|currency}}s to transfer from the device, and the item received will depend on the amount of transferred Watts.

===Virtual Console===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Do Korean games recognize Japanese/Western games when using local wireless? Can Mystery Gift be performed between Japanese/Western/Korean games?}}
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release uses 3DS wireless communication as a substitute for the Game Link Cable. The Virtual Console release disables [[Game Boy Printer]] compatibility. Japanese and Western Generation II core series games do not recognize each other when attempting to link them via 3DS wireless communication.

[[Mystery Gift]] can be performed with other Virtual Console copies of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal using the Nintendo 3DS system's infrared port.


==Features==
===Gyms===
There are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}). These Gyms notably feature the types not accounted for by Kanto Gyms, with the exception of the {{t|Dark}} type. Since Kanto is accessible after defeating the Elite Four, players can visit the eight Pokémon Gyms in the region, even though there have been some changes. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Janine]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and {{ga|Blue}} (various).

===Elite Four===
Gold and Silver introduce a new Elite Four syndicate, though it is found at the same location as it previously was in the Red and Blue versions: [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite Trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Lance]], who uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who were part of the Elite Four in Generation I, do not appear in Generation II, nor are they mentioned.

===Pokémon===
The games feature 100 new Pokémon species, plus the 151 Pokémon of [[Generation I]]. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to a single player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. In addition, most Pokémon associated with events in [[Generation I]], including the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s (discounting {{game|Yellow}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}), the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Fossil Pokémon]], the [[legendary birds]], {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, are absent from all [[Generation II]] games and must be [[Time Capsule|traded over]]. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon introduced in Gold and Silver that can ''only'' be legitimately acquired by attending a Nintendo [[event]].

====[[Game-exclusive Pokémon|Game exclusives]]====
For unknown reasons, two sets of [[game-exclusive Pokémon]], {{p|Phanpy}} and its evolution {{p|Donphan}}, along with {{p|Teddiursa}} and its evolution {{p|Ursaring}}, were swapped between the Japanese and localized releases, with the former available in Japanese Gold and international Silver and with the latter available in Japanese Silver and international Gold. However, this situation did not occur with the remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver.

The Korean versions of Gold and Silver do not have this change.

*{{fnb|1}}Exclusive to Silver in the Japanese and Korean versions.
*{{fnb|2}}Exclusive to Gold in the Japanese and Korean versions.

===Pokégear===
The Pokégear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The Pokégear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the {{DL|Radio in the Pokémon world|Pokémon Music}} station, or listen to the {{DL|Radio in the Pokémon world|Lucky Channel}} to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.

===Apricorns===
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.

===Kanto===
{{incomplete|section|2=Was the Pokemon Center destroyed or rebuilt?}}
After defeating [[Lance]], and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], players can travel to [[Kanto]], the region introduced in Generation I, and see how things have changed over the past three years:
* 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).
* A volcano has destroyed everything but the [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], leaving a rain-filled crater behind.
* {{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.
* [[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.
* [[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.
* {{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.
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Generation II Pokémon can be found. 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]].
* The entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Viridian Forest has been reduced to shrubs, and wild Pokémon can only be caught in the grass of what used to be {{rt|2|Kanto}}.
* Route 23 has been reduced to a short path leading between {{ka|Victory Road}}'s exit and [[Indigo Plateau]].
* The Pokémon Center on Route 4, outside Mt. Moon, is no longer there, leaving the player to trek all the way to Pewter City to heal their Pokémon.
* The player can no longer enter Silph Co.'s upper levels due to increased security.

==Differences in the Virtual Console release==
*The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. Like in the original releases, they can only communicate with the Virtual Console Generation I core series games by using the [[Time Capsule]]. Unlike the VC releases of Generation I games, closing the communication normally does not cause the emulator to restart, although it does restart if the communication was cut due to an error. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue. Additionally, all of the [[Game Boy Printer]] features are disabled, although the option still appears in the Pokédex and the PC menu.
*[[Mystery Gift]] can be performed with other Virtual Console copies of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal using the Nintendo 3DS system's [[infrared]] port. Unlike other link features, the user interface remains unchanged from the original games.
*Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation II core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]], and from Pokémon Bank, they can then be moved to [[Generation VII]] core series games.
*In battle, when a Pokémon attacks, its {{wp|HUD (video gaming)|HUD}} doesn't disappear for the duration of the animation as it did in the original releases. This causes several graphical oddities, such as the animations of {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Splash}} causing the user's HUD to move along with its sprite. Also, some moves had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing by dimming the screen, although this is not the case in all localized releases.
*In the Japanese releases, {{p|Jynx}}'s sprite has been replaced with the sprite used in Western versions, as the original had previously fell under controversy for its resemblance to {{wp|blackface}}.

==New features==
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.

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.

===Breeding===
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).

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.

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.

===Shiny Pokémon===
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).

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.

==Reception==
The games were generally well received and in-turn received a "Masterful" 10/10 by IGN.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/012/012865.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version (Pokemon Gold)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Craig Harris of that site states "after playing the game dozens of hours, I really can't think of a bad point to make about Pokémon Gold and Silver."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162865p1.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Battery life==
Copies of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[save]] in a shorter timeframe than copies of the [[Generation I]] games due to the battery maintaining both the saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker.

The battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind (a CR2025), or a {{wp|CR2032 battery|CR2032}}, which is slightly thicker and lasts longer. Since it powers the save file, interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be lost. Third party devices such as the [[GameShark]] may offer ways to backup and restore the save file.

A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen).

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only paired versions which have not had any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] item and the {{DL|Radio in the Pokémon world|Pokémon Past Archive}} radio program of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of chiptunes. However, not all of the old-style music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver (and Crystal).

==Localization changes==
{{Incomplete|section}}
===Graphics===
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, the Pokémon summary screens are vertically aligned in a similar fashion to the [[Generation III]] games. In the Western localizations, due to the space constraints, the layout was reverted to the horizontally-aligned one of the [[Generation I]] games.
* The amount of PC boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] was changed from 9 to 14 in the localizations (including the Korean ones) due to the maximum number of Pokémon per box being decreased from 30 to 20.
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon Storage System]]'s layout is enclosed in a text-box frame and the Pokémon list appears in the background. In the Western localizations, there is no frame surrounding the Pokémon but the Pokémon list appears in a text-box frame.
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, the sign of [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Johto]] have a [[Poké Ball]] drawing with the letters '''PC''' next to it. In the Western localizations, the sign was changed back to the one used in the [[Generation I]] games. The Pokémon Center signs in [[Kanto]] use the old design in all versions.
* In the Western localizations, the gender symbol for the {{p|Nidoran}} is shown twice during {{pkmn|battle}}s due to the gender symbol being placed next to the level indicator instead of next to the Pokémon's name as in the Japanese and Korean versions.
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, {{m|Sonic Boom|SonicBoom}}'s animation is a shock wave hitting the opponent. For undisclosed reasons, it was changed to a tornado hitting the opponent in the Western localizations, making it very similar to {{m|Gust}}.
* Nineteen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, including {{p|Jynx}}, as well as five {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, had their sprites changed between the Japanese and Western versions. The Korean versions use the same sprites as the Japanese versions. The changes made for Western versions were also taken into account for the Japanese and Western versions of {{game|Crystal}}, although they were instead incorporated in the new sprites.

===Gameplay===
[[File:PocketMonstersGumEun.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cover of Pocket Monsters Geum·Eun]]
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, {{p|Phanpy}} and {{p|Donphan}} are found in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in Pokémon Gold while {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Ursaring}} are found in the wild in Pokémon Silver. In the Western localizations, these were switched. This change was not replicated in the international versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* The [[party]] of {{tc|Pokéfan}} Alex, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} found on {{rt|13|Kanto}}, is made of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have names ending in "king" (Japanese: キング). Due to {{p|Magikarp}} not sharing this trait in the Western releases (its Japanese name is コイキング ''Koiking''), it was replaced by {{p|Seaking}} in order to stay true to the theme. Unlike Magikarp, which is [[level]] 58, the Seaking is level 29 like the rest of his team. In the Korean versions, his team is the same as in the Japanese versions since Magikarp's Korean name is 잉어킹 (''Ingeoking'') and both {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Slowking}} also have the word "king" (Korean: 킹) in their Korean names. This was also not redone for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since Alex still has a Magikarp in the localizations, which is now level 65.
* The Korean versions of the games can only be played on the [[Game Boy Color]], due to the need for more memory in order to properly render the Korean characters.
* If the clock on the 3DS is adjusted, the clocks on Pokémon Gold and Silver will stay the same time.

==Trivia==
* [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current CEO of [[The Pokémon Company]] (at the time, [[Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|the games' producer]]), originally thought that these games would be [[Game Freak]]'s last [[Pokémon]] project and thus the company invested in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} and licensed various merchandise as means to assure the success of Gold and Silver as "the ultimate Pokémon titles".<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon/0/1 Iwata Asks : Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version : The King Of Portable Toys]</ref>
* These are the only pre-[[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon games]] ever released in and localized for South Korea prior to the foundation of both Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. Nevertheless, the [[Time Capsule]] is available in the Korean versions of Gold and Silver.
* The Japanese [[Super Game Boy]] border of Pokémon Gold (labeled '''POCKET MONSTERS GOLD VERSION'''), but not of Pokémon Silver, is present but unused in all releases of {{game|Crystal}}. Similarly, in the Korean releases of Gold and Silver, the English Super Game Boy borders (respectively labeled '''POKéMON GOLD VERSION''' and '''POKéMON SILVER VERSION''') are present but unused, since they only support the [[Game Boy Color]].
* In the Korean versions, the [[credits]] are presented in English. The Japanese games would later replicate this in [[Generation V]] but only when {{DL|Options|character mode}} is set to {{wp|kanji}}.
* Due to a possible oversight in the international versions, the Japanese quotation marks are used in certain parts of the dialogue, like in radio stations. This was corrected in Crystal.
* These games were the first to have [[Legendary Pokémon]] as [[Game mascot|mascots]] and the use of precious stones or metals as title names.
* Gold and Silver, as well as [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]], have the most types that have been specialized in by [[Gym Leader]]s, adding up to 15.
** If one includes the [[Elite Four]], the {{t|Ground}} type is the only type that is not specialized in by an important Trainer in these games.
* None of the [[in-game trade]]s in Gold and Silver feature the player trading away or receiving a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}, making them the only games in which a player must link up with another player to trade Pokémon of that generation.
* Gold and Silver are the only versions where wild Pokémon battle music is different between day and night.
* The boxarts for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], {{game|Yellow}} and Pokémon Silver are the only three instances where the English ''Pokémon'' logo is shown partially covered by some element (in this case, Lugia's crest).
* Gold and Silver are the only Pokémon games released in a pair to have completely different sprites between each other.
* Prior to the Virtual Console release announcement, [[Pokémon.com]] listed Pokémon Gold and Silver with a PEGI rating of 3.<ref>[http://archive.is/kLPPa Pokémon™ Gold Version and Pokémon™ Silver Version | Video Games | Pokemon.com] (archive)</ref>

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Crystal}}

'''Pokémon Crystal Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョン''' ''Pocket Monsters: Crystal Version'') is the third and final [[Generation II]] [[core series]] game for [[Game Boy Color]]. It was released as a sister game to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2000, in North America on July 29, 2001, and in Europe on November 2, 2001.

It featured various fixes and some new additions, most notably the introduction of the option to {{player|play}} as a {{ga|Kris|girl}}. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] like Gold and Silver, with access to [[Kanto]] granted later in the game, with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]].

The Japanese version had far more new features, all related to a {{wp|mobile phone}}-related linking technology usable through the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] when connecting a [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] to a [[Game Boy Color]] or [[Game Boy Advance]] (original or [[Game Boy Advance SP|SP]]).

The game was released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] on January 26, 2018.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He provides the player with one of three Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to help him/her get to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house. He/She meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during the errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started his/her own Pokémon journey, gives him/her a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and {{ga|Silver|mysterious Pokémon Trainer}}. Upon his/her return to New Bark Town, the player is informed that someone has broken into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the Trainer from earlier battled with (the Pokémon that the player's starter is weak against); even more so, that very same Trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This Trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game, having several conflicts with the player as to what it means to be the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer.

[[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 at the Lake of Rage near Mahogany town. When the player defeats or captures the [[Red Gyarados|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} rampaging in the lake, [[Lance]] will arrive and congratulate the player for his/her battling and requests that the player help him find the source of the radio signals. When the player returns to Mahogany town and enters the Souvenir Shop, he/she will find Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}} threatening the man in the shop. A secret door will open to the Rocket base, which was revealed by a Rocket Grunt to be an old ninja hideout. After the player defeats the Rocket Executive found in the hideout, Lance asks the player to help him knock out the Electrode powering the machine producing the radio waves.

After completing this task, Lance thanks the player and gives him/her the HM {{m|Whirlpool}}. After the player defeats [[Pryce]] - the leader of Mahogany Gym - Professor Elm will call the player and tell him/her about unusual broadcasts from the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. When the player reaches Goldenrod City, it is revealed that Team Rocket has taken over the Radio Tower, their intent being to try to contact their missing leader, [[Giovanni]], and persuade him to return to Team Rocket. Also, the Director of the Goldenrod station has been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor. After the player defeats the impostor, he will tell him/her the location of the real Director. When the player frees the real Director, he will give the player the Card Key, which opens the door on 3F of the Radio Tower and leads to the Rocket Executive currently in charge of the group. The player defeats the executive and Team Rocket officially disbands for a second time. The Director rewards the player with a [[Clear Bell]].

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 catching a glimpse of 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 the Clear Bell that the {{tc|Sage|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.

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

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* A female [[player character]], {{ga|Kris}}, was introduced, marking the first time players could choose the gender of their character. The choice is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay or story.
* When entering a new area, its name appears on-screen for a brief time. This would become standard for the rest of the series.
* The [[Ice Path]] was redesigned with an ice-like appearance. Some of its puzzles were also changed.
* The [[Burned Tower]] was redesigned on the exterior and interior. The outside was altered to look more liked a burned building rather than a short one (see the Burned Tower page for more information).
* [[Lance]]'s room at the [[Indigo Plateau]] was redesigned to have a draconic appearance, with the statues in the room being replaced with {{p|Dratini}} statues.
* Raikou, Entei, and Suicune have their own special battle music when the player encounters them in the wild, making Crystal the first game to sport special [[Legendary Pokémon]] battle music.
[[File:CrystalBattle.png|frame|right|Pokémon sprites are now animated.]]
* More work was done on Pokémon sprites:
** Pokémon sprites now play a short animation upon entering the fight and a longer one when the Pokémon's profile is viewed, a feature that would not be seen again until {{game|Emerald}}. In this game, only the front sprites are animated.
** While most of the Pokémon retain their sprites from either Gold or Silver, certain Pokémon, such as {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, were given new ones. This includes some Pokémon who had identical sprites in both original versions, like {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Suicune}}. The W {{p|Unown}} was redesigned, its new design was used in all future games.
** A few Pokémon, such as {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Sneasel}}, were recolored to more closely match their official artwork.
** Several of the Pokémon that were redrawn gained new back sprites.
* The user interface used during Game Link Cable trades was redesigned. Gold and Silver used a simple black on white trading interface that was identical to the one used in the [[Generation I]] games, mainly to retain compatibility with older [[Game Boy]] systems. In Crystal, the menus were revamped with full color on a black background, a design which better suits the capabilities of the Game Boy Color.
* A fountain was added to the center of the pond in the [[National Park]].
* The inside of [[Mt. Mortar]] was changed.
* Certain Trainers have their dialogue changed.
* The top of the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] has been slightly redesigned, making it look more like an actual lighthouse.

===Location changes===
* Extra grass was added to {{rt|36|Johto}}, west of [[Violet City]], and in this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon much earlier than in other versions (assuming they did not [[Starter Pokémon|choose]] {{p|Cyndaquil}}), and making a large difference in the availability of Fire-types for areas like the [[Azalea Gym]] and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super effective.
* Just like in the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue}} and all releases of {{game|Yellow}}, changes were made to available [[wild Pokémon]]:
** On one hand, several Pokémon that were exclusive to Gold or Silver are available in the wild, like {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}}. On the other hand, some species that were available in both Gold and Silver are a no-show this time around, like the {{p|Mareep}} family.
** {{p|Sneasel}} appears in the [[Ice Path]], whereas in Gold and Silver, it did not appear until reaching [[Mt. Silver]].
** {{p|Magmar}} no longer appears in the [[Burned Tower]], instead appearing exclusively in Mt. Silver.
** Some of the wild Pokémon that appear in [[Kanto]] were altered.
** [[Pokémon outbreak]]s receive less focus in the version, as {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} are now easily available in the wild, and the latter was relocated.
** Some Pokémon, like {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Tauros}}, that used to be available at all times, are now purely [[Diurnal Pokémon|diurnal]] or [[Nocturnal Pokémon|nocturnal]].
* Some Trainers were repositioned on the map.
* Several new Trainers were added, some of which could only be battled when certain conditions are met. For example, Pokéfan Jaime on {{rt|39|Johto}} can only be battled at night. Some of them won't approach the player themselves, and, when spoken to, won't play the "encounter" music before engaging in battle.
* The [[Goldenrod Department Store]] had a roof area added. It has occasional sales, which the player is informed about if Camper Todd's number is registered in the [[Pokégear]].
* The Flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] has been relocated slightly further from the main street and decorated with flowers, making it stand out.
* A {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}, the first in the series, was added to the north of {{rt|40|Johto}}.
* [[Cianwood City]] has been slightly expanded to the north, with the addition of the Poké Seer's house.
* The [[Dragon's Den]] was altered: now the Dragon Shrine is open, some {{m|Headbutt}} trees were added to the back of the Shrine, and the Den itself is populated with trainers.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} can only be caught after completing the game and reaching Kanto. They are both at level 60.
** Ho-Oh can be caught after {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are all caught and Eusine is spoken to in [[Celadon City]].
** Lugia can be caught after obtaining the [[Silver Wing]] in [[Pewter City]], like in Pokémon Gold.
* Changes were made to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. This included more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot—completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by those people.
* Previously, Trainers who called on the [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] all said the same phrase, with only the names of the Pokémon they reference changing. Trainers are now given distinct personalities (one talks about shopping, another about grooming), and call for reasons other than battling, such as giving the player items, or informing them of a rare Pokémon appearing (Wade gives the player [[Berry|Berries]], Alan gives them a [[Fire Stone]], etc.).
* The [[Buena's Password]] radio show was added, which players can listen to on their [[Pokégear]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.
* The function to reset the clock in non-Japanese and non-Korean versions of Gold and Silver remains, although it is now more difficult to access.
** On the title screen, the player must first hold the '''↓''', '''SELECT''', and '''B''' buttons.
** While holding '''SELECT''', they must release '''↓''' and '''B'''.
** Still holding '''SELECT''', they must now hold '''←''' and '''↑'''.
** Finally, the player must release '''SELECT'''.
* [[Kurt]] can now make multiple Balls from same colored [[Apricorn]]s simultaneously.
* The [[Odd Egg]] can be obtained from the Day-Care Man after speaking to him for the first time.
* Some Pokémon have changed level-up movesets; however, all {{p|Suicune|but one}} of them have only one change.
* Some bugs with the battle mechanics were fixed; however, the game performs a check when it detects a Link battle to use the older and buggy mechanics in order to maintain compatibility with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. This occurs even between linked players of Pokémon Crystal games.
** Likewise, the game also performs a check that partially converts [[Kris]] into {{ga|Ethan}} at the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]] rooms, even if all the players using the Cable Club rooms are specifically playing Pokémon Crystal.
* A Pokémon's [[friendship]] can be increased more effectively by training in the same location where the Pokémon has been caught or hatched.

===Storyline changes===
* The player must first meet the florist's assistant on {{rt|36|Johto}}, who then heads back to inform her boss about {{p|Sudowoodo|the strange tree blocking the path}}, before the [[SquirtBottle]] can be obtained.
* Suicune, instead of being a side Legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. Awakening the Legendary Beasts is now a prerequisite for challenging Morty. After this, the player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Clear Bell]] (where in Gold and Silver, the [[Rainbow Wing|Rainbow]] or [[Silver Wing]] would be obtained instead), the player will have a chance to battle and capture it in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], and it will not run away.
* A new character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|the player]] in [[Cianwood City]] to earn its respect.
* The chain of events to obtain the {{badge|Rising}} is altered. Where previously, it involved a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her Badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell her cousin, Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.

===Pokémon not found in Crystal===
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, as they cannot be found in Pokémon Crystal.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the {{game|Red and Green|s|Japanese Green}}, and thus in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Blue}} as well.

==Localization changes==
The localized releases of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:

* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught at [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special event requiring the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] allowed players to obtain the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]], may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, Kurt gives back the GS Ball to the player and asks him/her to check the restless Ilex Forest. Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable overseas without [[cheating]] or hacking, the event was translated and adapted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] in Goldenrod City of the Western releases of Crystal, indicating that it was intended for the localizations to include the event, but was later scrapped.
* Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center. The localizations reverted it to the Pokémon Center of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} while changing some of the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] to match those in the Pokémon Communication Center.
* Players could link to [[trade]] or battle through the use of the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] and the previously mentioned Pokémon Mobile System GB.
* Players could leave a Pokémon and a request for the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This is similar to the current [[Global Trade System]] of the [[Generation IV]] and later games.
* The Pokémon News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Pokémon Mobile System GB. Pokémon News was compiled from the saved game data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
* The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} gave an {{key|II|Egg Ticket}} which, when taken to the Trade Corner at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], could be traded for an [[Odd Egg]] which hatched into a [[baby Pokémon]] that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}. In the localizations, the Day-Care Man instead gives away the Odd Egg himself and it only has a 14% chance of being Shiny.
* The [[Battle Tower (Generation II)|Battle Tower]] does not connect to the Pokémon Mobile System GB in the localization versions and is open at all times.

==Differences in the Virtual Console release==
As with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the Crystal Virtual Console releases include a few changes:

* The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. Like in the original releases, they can only communicate with the Virtual Console Generation I core series games by using the [[Time Capsule]]. Unlike the VC releases of Generation I games, closing the communication normally does not cause the emulator to restart, although it does restart if the communication was cut due to an error. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue. Additionally, all of the [[Game Boy Printer]] features are disabled, although the option still appears in the Pokédex and the PC menu.
* [[Mystery Gift]] can be performed with other Virtual Console copies of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal using the Nintendo 3DS system's [[infrared]] port. Unlike other link features, the user interface remains unchanged from the original games.
* Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation II core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]], and from Pokémon Bank, they can then be moved to [[Generation VII]] core series games.
* In battle, some moves had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing by dimming the screen, although this is not the case in all localized releases.
* In the Japanese release, {{p|Jynx}}'s sprite has been replaced with the sprite used in Western versions, as the original had previously fell under controversy for its resemblance to {{wp|blackface}}. In addition, due to the Pokémon Mobile System GB not being present, Japanese players are unable to use any of the features in the Pokémon Communication Center, access the Battle Tower, and receive the Egg Ticket to exchange for the Odd Egg.
* The event allowing the player to obtain the [[GS Ball]] and capture {{p|Celebi}} is activated by entering and leaving the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] (in the Japanese release) or the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] (in non-Japanese releases) after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], without any additional requirements. Not only is this event now available to Japanese players outside of events, and to worldwide players at all, it also occurs earlier in the game, as the original Crystal release required the player to get all eight [[Kanto]] badges first.

==Legacy==
While Gold and Silver introduced the majority of Generation II's contributions to the game mechanics, Crystal also featured several additions to the franchise that continue into the future. First, Crystal introduced the option to play as a female character. The game also featured the first [[Move Tutor]] of the series, as well as the first {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}. This was the first game to include animated sprites for Pokémon, though this only applied to front sprites (back sprites remained still as they did in previous games). This feature was absent in later games until it was reintroduced in {{game|Emerald}}, after which it became standard. Back sprites did not become fully animated until {{game|Platinum}}, which also added animations for important Trainers such as [[Gym Leader]]s. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, sprites remain animated throughout the battle; before these games, Pokémon Crystal was the only game that had more than two frames per animation.

Even though {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were the first games to use [[Legendary Pokémon]] (specifically {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}) as [[game mascot]]s, it was Crystal that incorporated them into the plot for the first time. The story additions involving the [[Legendary beasts]] (most prominently {{p|Suicune}}), Ho-Oh and {{p|Unown}} were unprecedented, since up until then no Pokémon had been referenced in the dialogue on more than one occasion. This was also evident in the fact that the Legendary beasts received a unique battle theme, and in that the plot climax was no longer limited to thwarting [[Team Rocket]], instead culminating in the battle against Suicune at [[Tin Tower]]. Later generations focus on their game mascots as part of the plot involving the [[villainous team]] of the respective region (with the only exception being the remade versions; {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} follow {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s footsteps, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are similar to Crystal in keeping the two stories separated).

The Japanese version of Crystal notably introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]] (albeit to a far lesser extent, due to the Wireless Adapter's limited range), and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games. The [[GS Ball]] event was the first time where an [[event Pokémon]] (in this case {{p|Celebi}}) could be caught in-game as opposed to being directly downloaded to the cartridge; this went on to be the case for several such Pokémon in subsequent generations.

==Reception==
Pokémon Crystal received good reviews, although they were not quite as positive as those of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Like Pokémon Yellow before it, and subsequently Pokémon Emerald, it was criticized for being too similar to its sister games, with IGN commenting, "there's not much in this edition that makes it a 'must buy' for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions".<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/165/165402p1.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> IGN still gave the game an "Outstanding" rating of 9/10.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/015/015402.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version (Pokemon Crystal)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The game received an average score of near 80% from GameRankings,<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/375087-pokemon-crystal-version/index.html Pokemon Crystal Version for Game Boy Color - GameRankings] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> about 10% lower than Pokémon Gold and Silver.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/index.html Pokemon Gold Version for Game Boy Color] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Battery life==
Copies of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[save]] in a shorter timeframe than copies of the [[Generation I]] games due to the battery maintaining both the saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker.

The battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind (a CR2025), or a {{wp|CR2032 battery|CR2032}}, which is slightly thicker and lasts longer. Since it powers the save file, interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be lost. Third party devices such as the [[GameShark]] may offer ways to backup and restore the save file.

A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen).

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
Most of the game's music comes from Pokémon Gold and Silver, which have not had any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] item and the [[Pokémon Music Channel#Pokémon Past Archive|Pokémon Past Archive]] radio program of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of chiptunes. However, not all of the old-style music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver (and Crystal). Moreover, several tracks that are exclusive to Japanese Crystal have not received official releases.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokemoncrystal.logo.png|thumb|An early logo for Japanese Crystal (the word ''kashō'' (仮称) means "tentative title")]]
[[File:Pokémon Crystal alt logo.png|thumb|English equivalent logo]]
* Although [[Game Freak]] released a game called ''[[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2013, the tentative title for a game similar to the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal with planned support to [[Pokémon Mobile System GB|connect to a mobile phone]] and set for an April 2000 release was also ''Pocket Monsters X'' (ポケットモンスターＸ), according to multiple sources such as an {{wp|Asahi Shimbun}} news article from December 1999<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000303153731/http://www.asahi.com/tech/news/19991216h.html ネット最前線：ニュース]</ref> and {{wp|IGN}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000303114916/http://pocket.ign.com/news/13341.html IGN]: Networking Pokémon (archive)</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000815220050/http://pocket.ign.com/news/22176.html IGN]: The Cell Phone, GBA and Pokémon (archive)</ref> The game was postponed until 2001 due to the planned release of the [[Game Boy Advance]].<ref>[http://park3.wakwak.com/~pokepale/news/0/old/log/38.htm ポケモン情報サイト「palette」過去ログ38 - ポケパレ！]</ref> The article mentions an [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter|adapter]] for linking a [[Game Boy]] to a mobile phone, with the datacenter server used for the feature being hosted by {{wp|Kyocera}} in {{wp|Kyoto}}.
* The Japanese logo shown at {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 2000 was originally similar to the one from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/mgb/soft/crystal/ ポケットモンスタークリスタル（仮称）]</ref> Additionally, the previous referred source also shows an early design for the [[PokéCom Club]] rooms.
** An English equivalent of this logo was created and used on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20010722063635/http://www.nintendo.dk:80/spil/pokemon/vis_sitetext.asp?SiteTextID=991&Language=1 Pokémon minisite hosted by Nintendo Denmark].
* People buying a [[Game Boy Color]] during the release of this game were given the option of buying a [[Game Boy Advance]] that came with Pokémon Crystal in the package.
* During battles, Japanese midline horizontal ellipses ("⋯") are used in the English versions instead of regular ellipses ("…") due to an oversight.
[[File:Pokemon Crystal UnusedTitleScreen.png|thumb|right|The unused title screen of Pokémon Crystal]]
* The game's opening shows several {{p|Unown}} communicating with {{p|Suicune}} over radio waves, alerting it to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Oddly, this is not part of the game's story, with the Ruins of Alph sidequest being independent of the plot involving Suicune. That said, the Unown are referenced by the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} as having a cooperative bond with Suicune.
** In the Japanese version, a researcher at the Ruins of Alph claims that the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] influences the Unown. His unused English text is: ''According to my research... Those mysterious patterns appeared when the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>com Center</sc> was built. It must mean that radio waves have some sort of a link...''
** Additionally, there is an unused static title screen in the game's data that shows an {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Unown|A-shaped}} {{p|Unown}} instead of {{p|Suicune}}. It also does not reboot the game automatically after the title screen's music stops.
* The Japanese [[Super Game Boy]] border of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} (labeled '''<sc>Pocket Monsters Gold Version</sc>''') is unused in all releases of Pokémon Crystal. The equivalent border from the Japanese {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} (labeled '''<sc>Pocket Monsters Silver Version</sc>''') is not present.
* This is the last localized [[core series]] game to use the slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]''.
* The Japanese version has an emblem of Suicune's crest on the back of the Game Pak's circuit board.
* This game was developed using Pokémon Gold as the base game.
* Prior to the Virtual Console release announcement, [[Pokémon.com]] listed Pokémon Crystal with a PEGI rating of 3.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-crystal-version/ Pokémon Crystal Version - Pokemon.com]</ref>

Dalton358: /* Virtual Console Battle HUD Disappearing? */

== A glitch...? Or just my game? ==

Helloz, me again people. I remember this like it was yesterday, i was playing Pokémon Crytsal, and i can say hand on my heart i've never cheated on my Crystal Cartrage, but anyway. I saved the game, turned it off, went to play it a day later and my gender had switched from the girl to the guy. But my name was now "Kris" instead of "Lydia" (thats what i believe i called myself). I was like....what the hell...? So any answers? [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 11:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
:Kris is the automatic name for the character. I guess it just reverted back to it[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]] 01:33, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
::The default name for the guy is Chris [[User:Snugglefox|Snugglefox]] ([[User talk:Snugglefox|talk]]) 02:38, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

== Possible trivia ==

I don't know if this is notable enough to be trivia, but if I'm not mistaken, Crystal is the game which requires trading with the most different versions to complete the regional Pokedex, as it needs to trade with Red, Blue, Gold AND Silver. Just wondering if this is thought to be trivia worthy? [[User:Gastly's mama|Gastly's mama]] 20:42, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I've seen videos of peolpe playing Crystal, and they've seen pokémon like Groudon and Registeel. Are these pokémon in the games programing, or do they "Create them" in the game? [[User:ShinyPikachu|'ŚĥîΠŶPî₭₳ĉĥŭ']] 23:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== Cleanup ==

I think this article needs a cleanup. For example, remove the Kanto section from it, it's not like it changed from GS. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 16:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
:Be assertive. You can clean it up if you wish. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 16:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
::OK, I didn't clean it up yet because I was trying to avoid future edit undos or edit wars but if I'm allowed to, then that is what I'll do. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 17:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== Glicthy Crystal ==

When I was playing Crystal, I noticed that my mailbox was full with ????GREEN???? and covered the whole screen. Then the Trainer School in Kanto gave me the same thing I went to battle there.When the battle began, the trainer sent out a level 0 Primeape. Then it frezzes. What do guys think it is? Dying battery, bad save file?--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 02:37 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== "..." in battles ==

I remember that only in Pokemon Crystal, whenever a person during a battle said "...", these points didn't appear aligned with the border (as other characters), but a little higher. [http://i35.tinypic.com/x25rhf.png This] is what I mean. Look at the "..." said during battle. This doesn't happen when you talk to trainers or stuff in the overworld, though. --[[User:Dr. James|Dr. James]] 15:49, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
:A little late but thanks for pointing that out. I think it's a leftover from the Japanese script, since the ellipsis is aligned higher in the Japanese versions. It was likely a lapse on NoA's part. ;-) [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 21:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

==Plot error==
The plot section says that the player is "known by default as Gold" and refers to the player as Gold throughout. Not so if you are playing as a girl! Should the plot section be changed to include Kris, especially considering that this is her debut game?
--[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 20:21, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

==Battery Death==
When the battery dies is it just unable to save or does it erase all data?[[User:SONICバリヤ|SONICバリヤ]] 03:53, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
:Both. Always. With any game. Not really related to the content of the article though. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:39, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
::I said that because I was curious if my Crystal was defective, but I should have asked on the forums. I'm sorry.[[User:SONICバリヤ|SONICバリヤ]] 06:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

==Growlithe availability==
In "Aestethic changes" the article says "Extra grass was added to the route west of Violet City, and in this grass, Growlithe can be caught, allowing players to acquire a Fire-type Pokémon much earlier than in other versions", yet in [[Growlithe]] the Pokémon is said to be available in the same area, at a higher level. [[User:Frustraatio|Frustraatio]] 18:53, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

== Clock reset ==

Found the information on [http://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Crystal#Clock_Reset TCRF] and tested it myself. It is still working just as in GS. It does not require any external means to access either. I have a 30 second video as proof, but not sure how to share it. [[User:Neal Cruco|Neal Cruco]] ([[User talk:Neal Cruco|talk]]) 03:33, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

== The title of the page should stay the same. ==

It has been suggested that the title of this article be renamed "Pokémon Crystal." I'm okay with the suggestion, but even though other territories don't use the word "version," North America does, so we should refer to it by its full North American name. Thank you. [[User:Crunchdog29|Crunchdog29]] ([[User talk:Crunchdog29|talk]]) 23:28, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

== Alternative japanese boxart? ==

[http://spazioinwind.libero.it/mistypage/Crystal/Immagini/crystal_copertinaj2_pic.jpg pic] Japanese cover featuring pichu,but I can't find any other info about it,except from this Italian page http://spazioinwind.libero.it/mistypage/Crystal/index.html where I took the image from. {{unsigned|95girl}}
:Please link to images rather than embedding them. As for the image itself, I think it's safer to assume that any random image you find online is fake unless proven otherwise. The fact that you can't find any other information means we have no way of proving it's real. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:49, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
At best its a prerelease promo, but I suspect its fake. Some pirate probably made that boxart to appeal to the demand for a gen 2 yellow version [[User:Snugglefox|Snugglefox]] ([[User talk:Snugglefox|talk]]) 21:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

== Virtual Console Battle HUD Disappearing? ==

I know this happened in the Gold and Silver release, but when I was playing Crystal, I noticed that it worked properly and would be hidden during attacks. I have the English version from the US eShop, so can anyone else confirm if this is the case in other languages/regions? I didn't want to edit those two sentences out of the article completely if it is true in other versions.
[[User:Dalton358|Dalton358]] ([[User talk:Dalton358|talk]]) 19:39, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
:Oops, my bad (I wrote those sentences on the G&S page and copy-pasted them to the Crystal page) . Guess I didn't notice this change. I just tried it with the English and French versions from the EU eShop, and you're right. [[User:SaniOKh|SaniOKh]] ([[User talk:SaniOKh|talk]]) 19:56, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
::It's no problem. I guess since that only happened with Gold and Silver it's a bug with those releases and not an intentional change. [[User:Dalton358|Dalton358]] ([[User talk:Dalton358|talk]]) 20:24, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

== False typing ==

Cottonee and Whimsicott are not fairy type. Why do people keep stating that when you cannot even find them in x or y? --[[User:Admantus|Admantus]] ([[User talk:Admantus|talk]]) 19:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

::And according to Serebii, Cottonee line is now Fairy type, however, you can't catch them in Kalos and the only way to get them is to transfer Pokémon from Black, White, Black 2 or White 2 to X or Y, this is because it is not available to catch in Kalos however you have a chance to see them in battle facilities whereas Trainers used Whimsicott. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ([[User talk:Cinday123|talk]]) 08:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, Serebii might be wrong, because they haven't even updated the sprites for the other unobtainable pokemon that appear post-game. I think that the types should be switched back to pure grass until pokemon bank comes out. --[[User:Admantus|Admantus]] ([[User talk:Admantus|talk]]) 20:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

:That has nothing to do with it. I mean, the information on Bulbapedia is always confirmed information. And any information that wasn't confirmed gets removed. So, the fact that Cottonee/Whimsicott being Grass/Fairy hasn't been removed or altered back to it's original information/typing means it's been confirmed. And like [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] and others have said, just because you can't catch it in the Kalos region games doesn't mean you can't still obtain it. And that means, the information for Cottonee & Whimsicott are programmed in the games. So, I say let it be.

List of clothing (anime)

2011-06-25T16:31:31Z

Dalton358:

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new [[Series]], changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[File:Ash anime.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Iris}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}, which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash would turn his hat backwards when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a Trainer or capture a Pokémon. This was very much the case early in his journey in Kanto, though by the time his journey in Johto ended, he hardly ever turned his cap.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[File:Ash AG.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new jeans and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

This outfit is the only one of Ash's outfits to appear in more then one series. In fact it appears in three.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new jeans, and new sneakers. His gloves are the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]''.
 

====''Best Wishes'' series====
[[File:BW Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fourth outfit]]
As expected, Ash has received a new outfit for the {{series|Best Wishes}}. As with his previous outfit, this one appears to be modeled on the outfit worn by {{ga|Hilbert}} from {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the only difference being that Ash's suit is missing a bag strap across the front, clothing shades, and the hat, which resembles the one from the original series. Ash's new clothing closely follows the same color scheme he has always had: red, blue, yellow, green, black and white. In this series Ash's sneakers are high tops different to all the other series which have been normal sneakers

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*In the {{series|Original}}, Ash's most common swimwear is a pair of teal trunks with yellow stripes running down the sides.

*Ash wore blue trunks with palm trees and coconuts in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''.

*Ash changed to a different swimsuit along with his main clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series, in which he wore orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down the left side. The same pattern was on the right as well, but appeared only on the waistband and was much smaller. This swimsuit actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but it didn't appear frequently until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.

*In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Ash wears red trunks with light blue lines at the bottom and dark blue upside-down v-patterns on the sides. Like his ''Advanced Generation'' swimsuit, Ash had worn this one before in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but it didn't make frequent appearances until his adventures in Sinnoh.

*Ash wore trunks that were two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on the bottom) with white stripes down the sides in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

*He also wore red trunks with large white Poké Ball prints on the sides in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

*In the {{series|Best Wishes}} Ash wears purple trunks with red lines near the legs and yellow lines on the side.

[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]

=====Snow wear=====
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. He was also seen wearing it during the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other clothes====
*In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when he went to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Ash wore green and yellow pajamas. This night outfit is unique, as it was only seen in that episode.
* As of the ''Best Wishes'' series, Ash has, apparently, worn at least two pairs of boxer shorts. The first boxers he wore were solid white as seen in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. The second pair, that Ash has most recently been seen in, are white with thin vertical blue stripes. He was seen in them was when he went swimming in the ocean in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', and in ''[[BW037]]'' while he was drying his clothes after Bianca accidentally pushed him into a stream. In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash wore blue boxers with white lines at the bottom. He apparently still wears them too, as seen in ''[[BW011|A Home for Dwebble!]]'' and ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]''. A running gag in the [[original series]] showed Ash's [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] reminding him to change his underwear everyday, much to his embarrassment.
*Ash wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'' and ''Plant it now, Diglett later''.
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*Ash also wore blue-and-black-colored ninja clothing in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save!]]''. Interestingly, he did not wear a white headband like most of the other characters, presumably because of his hat.
*Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.
*In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins At Home!]]'', a flashback of Ash when he was younger shows him wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe and blue shorts.

=={{an|Misty}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's {{series|Original}} outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with long hair extensions and pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokémon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokémon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]], [[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her original series outfit. However, in ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

=={{an|Brock}}==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[File:Brock OS.png|thumb|left|80px|Brock's [[Original series]] outfit]]
[[File:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit prior in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', as well as part of the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
*He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
*He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.
*In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Brock is seen in his new boxers, which have the same color scheme as his undershirt.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[File:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, reddish-brown shorts, blue and yellow sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was a pair of navy-blue swim trunks with two red lines on either side, as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[File:MayAG.png|120px|thumb|left|May's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based on the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
[[File:MayDiamondPearl.png|right|thumb|200px|May's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based on the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange sleeveless T-shirt with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[File:May Dress M08.png|250px|thumb|right|May's dress in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'']]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[File:May Wallace Cup.png|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====

* She was seen wearing winter clothing during a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' while at [[Ice Rock]] near [[Snowpoint City]]. It is basically a pink dress with sleeves, her green bandana, and pink shoes.
* In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', May wore orange pajamas.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[File:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow backpack with all her personal belongings. It is nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} with the exception of her scarf and bag.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]]. In the first round of the [[Celestic Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with fluffy fur, similar to [[Dawn's Buneary|Buneary]]'s. In the [[Lilypad Town]] contest, she again wore her yellow ribbon with long white gloves. In the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest, she wears short white gloves, with one red ribbon in each one, and her shoes have one yellow rose in each. Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
*In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Dawn wore a pink outfit for the [[Alamos Town]] Contest.
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.
*In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day]]'', Dawn wore [[Princess Salvia]]'s light pink dress with long white gloves, when they swapped places.
*In the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]], she wore a new yellow dress with long white gloves and white shoes.

The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[File:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her {{v2|Platinum}} outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'' and ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]''.

[[Image:IrisBW.png|thumb|left|125px|Iris's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
*Iris' usual outfit is exactly the same as [[Iris|her game counterpart]]'s outfit. It consists of a cream shirt that has long loose sleeves with pink cuffs and a pink collar, a pink skirt with a large pink ribbon on the side, white and yellow leggings going over her knees, pink and white shoes with yellow stripes and a yellow hair ribbon.

===Side outfits===
====Swimwear====

====Other clothes====
* When sleeping, Iris wears a white shirt and pink boxer shorts. This outfit has been seen in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' and [[BW030]].

===Side outfits===
====Other outfits====

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[File:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunts}} wear a black uniform of similar design. However, in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

====''Best Wishes'' series====
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|250px|thumb|right|Team Rocket's black uniforms]]
Jessie and James changed into their black uniforms in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. They wore these outfits from ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom]]'' until ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'' when they switched back into their white ones.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Brock}} is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessilina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
