==Trivia==
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males, and in {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Sabrina]] herself has a female Mr. Mime as one of her Pokémon. In fact, it is her only female Pokémon until HeartGold and SoulSilver's rematch.
**This is due to the lack of [[gender]]s in the [[Generation I]] games when it was introduced. However, the "Mr." part of its name appears to be just part of its name, rather than a title - (probably due to this not being a part of its Japanese name).
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was nicknamed Marcel. This is possibly an homage to the late {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles and Mimien, in those games, respectively.
* There was a villain in an episode of {{wp|The Powerpuff Girls}} named "Mr. Mime".
* Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands. This was changed to five in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and every game since. It should be noted that the anime version of Mr. Mime always had five fingers.
*In the Hebrew dub of the anime, Mr. Mime was often confused for a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in {{pmin|Israel}}, as "Mayim" (water) is pronounced very similar to "Mime".
*Mr. Mime was the first species with a space in its name, as well as the first one with a period and the first one whose name was more than one word; the space in its name was only reflected in the handheld games starting with [[Generation III]], however. Only in [[Generation IV]] was the second such species introduced: its baby form, {{p|Mime Jr.}}
** Mr. Mime is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Origin===
It appears that it is based on a combination between a {{wp|clown}} and a mime - together with a popular pantomime, pretending to be trapped in {{wp|invisible box}}es.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime's name simply refers to {{wp|mime}}s. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''barrier'' and ''weird'' - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls - or ''barrier'' and ''barricade''.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pantimos - From ''{{wp|pantomime}}''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: M. Mime - Pronounced ''Monsieur Mime''. M. is the official abbreviation of ''Monsieur'' (Mister).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마임맨 ''Maimmaen''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 吸盤魔偶 ''Xī Pán Mó Ǒu'' - "Suction magic figure". 吸盤 (Sucking disc) refers to the ones found in its fingers.

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

Tangela is covered with thick blue vines that obscure its face so only its eyes can be seen. It also has a pair of red boot-like feet.

==Trivia==
* Tangela's original name was "Meduza," a misspelling of "{{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}" (a Greek mythological character).
* Tangela is the first pure {{type2|Grass}} in the National Pokédex.
** Tangela is also the only pure Grass-type in [[Generation I]]. Others were either part {{t|Psychic}}-,{{t|Bug}}- or part {{type2|Poison}}.
* Up until [[Generation IV]], Tangela was the only Generation I Grass-type to not evolve into or from something.
* Although it is said to live in plains, its [[friend area]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is the Jungle. Also, its [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Pal Park area]] is the Forest.
*Tangela and {{p|Tropius}} are the only two Pokémon that are not {{pkmn2|starter}}s or [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] of a previous generation unavailable in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. They must be transferred forward from a Generation III game or traded from {{game|Platinum}}.
*Despite being made of vines, in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it couldn't learn {{m|Vine Whip}}. This was later allowed in {{game|Yellow}}.

===Origin===
Tangela is probably based on {{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}, a {{wp|gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, who had a head of snakes and turned any creature that saw her into stone. The tentacles on Tangela, however, are {{wp|vine}}s. Its Crystal sprite shows it curling into a ball, meaning it may also have design elements from Tumbleweed or Bird-Cage plants.
====Name origin====
Tangela's name is probably a combination of the word ''tangle'' and Medusa because of its vines resembling a snake hairstyle like Medusa's. Its Japanese name may be based on もじゃもじゃ ''mojyamojya'', which means shaggy, or unkempt.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tangela
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Saquedeneu - From ''Sac de noeuds'' (knot bag).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 덩구리 ''Deongguri''

As far as I know, there aren't any complete lists out there with all the Pokémon that run away. Anyone know of any more? Also, should we add the Roaming Pokémon to this list, even though they always run from battle? [[User:TailsDM|TailsDM]] 22:48, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

'''Snubbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブルー''' ''Bull'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Granbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress with a blue colored ruff; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite. Snubbull’s ears are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and oddly Snubbull appears to have two pairs of them. Snubbull has a small, shiny black nose, and beige-colored, three-toed feet with circular pink paw pads on the undersides.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

Snubbull has strong jaws, and as such it can use {{M|Bite}}, {{M|Crunch}}, and the more enigmatic Elemental Fang trio. Snubbull, with the specific example being Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull, possesses an ability like 'real-life' dogs to use its keen sense of smell to track things down.

===Behavior===
Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women for its devotion and loyalty, according to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]]. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Although Snubbull is a bipedal Pokémon, it has been depicted on occasion to run on four feet.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]

Snubbull wander around urban areas.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[File:Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull.png|right|thumb|Muchmoney's Snubbull]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' Snubbull is the leader of the group that fights against {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. This appearance made it one of the first few [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

During the early Johto saga, beginning in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', a {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}} chased [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} and tried to {{m|bite}} his tail. She followed Meowth until evolving in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', and then returned home.

====Special abilities====
Growlithe can {{m|Flamethrower|spit fire}}. It has a powerful sense of smell to identify the emotions of others. Upon {{m|Odor Sleuth|getting a scent}}, it will not forget it, no matter what. However, strong, unpleasent smells can disable their sense of smell for short periods, as seen in ''[[EP054|The Case of the K9 Caper]]''.

===Behavior===
Extremely loyal, this Pokémon fiercely defends its Trainer and territory.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Growlithe live in active volcanoes, grassy plains, and scorched plains heated by geothermal energy. Its native range includes [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but it can be found in [[Sinnoh]] on some occasions. In captivity, they're often used as police dogs due to their loyal nature and powerful sense of smell. They're also seen occasionally as pets.

Growlithe and {{p|Arcanine|its evolved form}} have also been used as [[Officer Jenny's Growlithe|police dogs]] by [[Officer Jenny]].

===Minor appearances===
Growlithe was first seen in a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''.

[[Morrison]] introduced his Growlithe to Ash and friends in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] and {{an|May}} discovered that an Arcanine that they were trying to catch had a litter of Growlithe to take care of. Because of this, they decided to leave the Arcanine alone.

A Growlithe appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Growlithe's original name was "Flame."
*Growlithe can learn {{m|Safeguard}} via breeding but not through TM.
*Even though it includes the word in its name and is based on a dog-like creature, Growlithe cannot learn {{m|Growl}}.
*In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue Rescue Team, Growlithe's phrases while walking through dungeons on the team references the current Leader Pokémon as "master". This is to reflect its dog-like nature, as dogs are known to obey their human owners, or "masters".
* Growlithe can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Vulpix}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} whose only evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} into their evolved forms. Vulpix is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]]/[[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] while Growlithe is to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], Growlithe has a 75% chance of being male while Vulpix has a 75% of being female, and they are both in the {{egg3|Ground}}. Additionally, both can have {{a|Flash Fire}} as their ability, are based on canines (Growlithe being a dog, Vulpix being a fox), and both changed their [[Shiny Pokémon|alternate coloration]] to yellow in [[Generation III]].

===Origin===
Growlithe is most likely based on Japanese 獅子 ''{{wp|Shishi (stone lion)|shishi}}'', or 狛犬 ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that share traits with lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.
====Name origin====
Growlithe's name is likely a combination of ''growl'' and ''lithe'', meaning limber or flexible. Its Japanese name may simply refer to its abilities as a guard dog.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Fukano
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caninos - Based on ''canine'', and possibly ''os'' (bone).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가디 ''Gadi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 卡蒂狗 ''Kǎ Dì Gǒu'' - Transliteration of Growlithe's Japanese name, Guardie. The last character means dog.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 護主犬 - Literally "owner protecting hound".

'''Phanpy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴマゾウ''' ''Gomazou'') is a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Donphan}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Phanpy are blue elephant Pokémon that are quite small in stature. Unlike its evolved form, it has a cute appearance. It has two orange pads on each of its big ears and another on the bridge of its nose, which is also quite long.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Despite its small size, Phanpy is quite strong, and can easily carry an adult human on its back. It also has the ability to {{m|rollout}} just like its fully evolved form, {{p|Donphan}}. Its trunk is also quite sensitive.

===Behavior===
It is a timid Pokémon that flees very easily. However, it has a very affectionate side and can be very friendly, even if it doesn't know its own strength. During the deserted morning hours, Phanpy comes ashore where it deftly uses its trunk to take a shower. When others gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. Phanpy can be seen drying their soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water. For its nest, Phanpy digs a vertical pit in the ground at the edge of a river. It marks the area around its nest with its trunk to let the other Phanpy know that the area has been claimed. Phanpy's big ears serve as broad fans, and when it becomes hot, it flaps its ears busily to cool down.

===Habitat===
While it is normally found in rocky regions and terrain, it also likes lakes and watersides.

[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It probably loves fruit. It seems to have an affinity with the [[Passho berry]], as it is sometimes found with this berry.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Phanpy anime.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Phanpy in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]]====
Phanpy made its debut appearance in the anime in ''[[EP230|Hatching a Plan]]''. It hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] received in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Donphan in ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Phanpy first appeared in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', however, it was just a Pokémon that [[Molly Hale]] dreamed up and made real by the power of the {{p|Unown}}.

A Phanpy appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con!]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Crystal}}, it could learn {{m|Water Gun}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, in a probable reference to elephants. Elephants suck water up into the trunk and then blow it into their mouth. Also, they inhale water to spray on their body during bathing. Despite this, it can't learn Water Gun at all in later games. It isn't even able to learn {{m|Water Pulse}} via [[TM03]].
* Although it is a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it cannot learn any Ground-type moves by level-up.
* Phanpy and {{p|Teddiursa}}, along with their evolutions, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on an elephant calf.

====Name origin====
Phanpy's name is derived from the word ''{{wp|elephant}}''. The ''-py'' suffix might have been added to designate Phanpy's name in the diminutive to reflect its small size and its infantile appearance.

''Gomazou'' is probably a combination of 当歳駒 ''tōsaigoma'', yearling, and 象 ''zō'', elephant.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Phanpy
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Phanpy
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코코리 ''Kkokkori''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 小小象 ''Xiǎo Xiǎo Xiàng'' - Literally "Tiny elephant".

I noticed the deletion notices said "Safari Zone only". Phanpy is found on Route 46 in GSC and can run from battle; Growlithe is on Route 37 and can run in addition to its Roar; Snubbull is on Route 38 and is KNOWN for running away. Just so you know.

'''Snubbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブルー''' ''Bull'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Granbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress with a blue colored ruff; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite. Snubbull’s ears are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and oddly Snubbull appears to have two pairs of them. Snubbull has a small, shiny black nose, and beige-colored, three-toed feet with circular pink paw pads on the undersides.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

Snubbull has strong jaws, and as such it can use {{M|Bite}}, {{M|Crunch}}, and the more enigmatic Elemental Fang trio. Snubbull, with the specific example being Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull, possesses an ability like 'real-life' dogs to use its keen sense of smell to track things down.

===Behavior===
Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women for its devotion and loyalty, according to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]]. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Although Snubbull is a bipedal Pokémon, it has been depicted on occasion to run on four feet.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]

Snubbull wander around urban areas.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[File:Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull.png|right|thumb|Muchmoney's Snubbull]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' Snubbull is the leader of the group that fights against {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. This appearance made it one of the first few [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

During the early Johto saga, beginning in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', a {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}} chased [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} and tried to {{m|bite}} his tail. She followed Meowth until evolving in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', and then returned home.

===Minor appearances===

A Snubbull appeared in Jessie's fantasy, in [[AG168| Three Jynx and a Baby!]].

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
{{adv|Green}} first traded her Snubbull with {{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Horsea}} before but then they traded them again. Her Snubbull evolved into {{p|Granbull}} in FRLG Saga.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Snubbull (TCG)}}

==Game data==

*Snubbull and {{p|Granbull}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}. They are all known as Fairy Pokémon.
*In early merchandise for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', including the ''{{book|Pikachu's Vacation}}'' novelization, Snubbull's name is misspelled as '''Snubble'''.

Catch rate

2010-08-29T20:55:49Z

TailsDM: /* Trivia */

Each [[Pokémon (species)|species of Pokémon]] has a '''catch rate''', a number out of a maximum of 255, that applies to all its members. When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown at a wild Pokémon, the game uses a formula based on its current health, any status effect it may have, the type of ball being used, and that Pokémon's catch rate, to determine the chances of catching that Pokémon.

Approximately, the probability of catching a Pokémon starts with the species' catch rate divided by 255. Then it is multiplied by the following factors:
* The health of the Pokémon (relative to its full health), which can reduce the probability to {{tt|⅓|one third}}× at full health.
* The type of [[Poké Ball]], which can augment by some ×.
* The status of the wild Pokémon, i.e. 2× increase for sleep or freeze, and 1.5× for others.

The effects stack multiplicatively — for example, a 2× and a 3× will combine to be 6×. If the calculation ends up greater than 1, the wild Pokémon is assured to be caught.

The rarity of the Pokémon (i.e. how often it appears in the wild) is totally independent from its catch rate after it is encountered. Even rare Pokémon may have high catch rates, making them relatively easy to catch in battle, such as {{p|Nosepass}} (catch rate 255).

== Exact formula ==
The exact formula is as follows:

: [[Image:Catch formula 1.png]]
Where
* HPmax is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at full health,
* HPcurrent is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at the moment,
* rate is the catch rate of the Pokémon,
* bonusball is the multiplier for the Poké Ball used, and
* bonusstatus is the multiplier for any [[status ailment]] the Pokémon has (2 for sleep and freeze, 1.5 for paralyze, poison and burn).

Given this formula, the maximum value for ''a'' (if the Pokémon could have 0 HP) would be catch rate × bonusball × bonusstatus. The minimum value for ''a'' (for a Pokémon with full health) would be {{tt|⅓|one third}} × catch rate.

Calculate ''b'' as follows:
: [[Image:Catch formula 2.png]]
Then generate 4 random numbers between 0 and 65535, inclusive. For each number, check whether it's less than ''b''; if so, the ball shakes once. If any number is greater than or equal to ''b'', the Pokémon immediately breaks free. If all four of the numbers are less than ''b'', then the Pokémon is caught. Note that if ''a'' is 255 or greater, then ''b'' is 65535 or greater, and then the Pokémon is guaranteed to be caught.

Therefore, the probability ''p'' of catching a Pokémon, given the values ''a'' and ''b'' calculated above, is:
: [[Image:Catch formula 3.png]]

The second expression for ''p'' may be expanded as follows:
: [[Image:Catch formula 3 expansion.png]]
Since (216 - 1)4 ≈ 264, we can approximate ''p'' with the following expression:
: [[Image:Catch formula 3 approximation.png]]
The percentage error in this approximation approaches 0 as ''a'' approaches 255, and does not exceed 21.2%.

For a constant probability ''p'', the probability ''P'' that a player can capture the Pokémon with no more than ''r'' tries is:
: [[Image:Catch formula 4.png]]
Note that this is the cumulative probability function for a {{wp|geometric distribution}}. The {{wp|expected value}} of ''r'' is 1/''p'', that is to say, on average, a Pokémon that can be caught with probability ''p'' will be caught with 1/''p'' tries.

The inverse problem, the number of tries, ''r'', needed to have a probability ''P'' of capturing a Pokémon is:
: [[Image:Catch formula 5.png]]

==Examples==
Most legendary Pokémon have a catch rate of three. Assuming its HP is almost depleted and it is paralyzed, and Dusk Ball is used at night or in a cave, then the chance of catching the Pokémon with each ball is approximated by 3 * 3.5 * 1.5 / 255 = 15.75/255 ~ 6.2%, resulting in about 16 Dusk Balls required to catch the Pokémon on average.

If an Ultra Ball was used instead, then the chance drops to 3 * 2 * 1.5 / 255 = 9/255 ~ 3.5%, which amounts to about 28 Ultra Balls on average.

==Trivia==
* Most legendary Pokémon have a catch rate of 3 because it assures that ''a'' is always at least 1. This might be because the final result for ''a'' is rounded ''down'' when it is calculated, and to have a catch rate of zero would result in an error when trying to calculate ''b''.
* Some people claim to have discovered button combinations that increase a Pokémon's catch rate (entertainingly displayed by [http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=8 this webcomic]); this is merely idle thought, as there is no method to improve catch rates other than the methods described above.

::No. Please see [http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=machopsilverua1.jpg this screen] taken from Pokémon Silver. I read «''Machop: ...''» --[[User:Valepert|Valepert]] 05:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

:::That's strange...I fired up the Crystal version tonight and sure enough, it's a Machop. I have no idea where the Machoke idea came from (as I know I read it somewhere), but the fact is that it is a Machop.

:::It does bear a striking resemblance to Machoke in appearance, however. Maybe that's where I got the idea from. --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''TMF''']] [[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|C]] 01:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

::::if there is going to be a GSDS my guess is that it will evolve or the house will even be finished!--lord mada 18:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC) that is if GSDS has a kanto region--lord mada 18:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::But it wasn't evolved in GS, why would it in GSDS? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:Because lots of things change in remakes and i cant think of any examples --lord mada 08:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

==Brick Piece==
I always thought it was interesting that when you traded a RBY Machop over to GSC, it arrived with a trade-only item called a 'Brick Piece'. It appears to have no purpose, but it only recently occurred to me that there could be a link between this guy in Vermilion owning a Machop, and needing materials to finish his house... could be a coincidence, I suppose, but I never thought to investigate. Does anyone know if there is a link? -Timothy.
:There is no link. Brick Piece has no purpose, except to pad out certain values from RBY (IIRC the traded held item is based off the RBY catch rate). [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 07:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

==Vermilion Port==
Does anyone want to bring up the fact that with the construction of the Cycling Road, aka [[Route_17]], which doesn't feature a drawbridge, it's impossible for Vermilion City to ACTUALLY be a port in any video game it's featured in? Just a thought for the trivia section... [[User:Seiyaryen|Seiyaryen]] 03:17, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
:This has been bugging me, I'm going to add this in the Trivia section. [[User:TailsDM|TailsDM]] 23:14, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

== Spelling of "vermilion" ==

Although the in-game spelling of the city's name is "Vermilion" with one 'L', I always assumed this to be a text limit restriction. As "vermilion" and "vermillion" are interchangeable spellings, should we take note of this? [[User:TailsDM|TailsDM]] 23:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

'''Vermilion City''' (Japanese: '''クチバシティ''' ''Kuchiba City'') is a city in [[Kanto]]. Situated near a sea inlet to the south, it contains a [[Pokémon Center]], a [[Poké Mart]], and serves as a popular sea port for ships such as the [[S.S. Anne]]. Vermilion Harbor is a home port for many ships. The S.S. Anne sails around the world and returns to Vermilion once a year. The [[S.S. Aqua]] sails from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]] to Vermilion Harbor. The ten [[Seagallop Ferries]] sail regularly to all of the [[Sevii Islands]]. Aside from the Harbor, the other exits to the city are {{rt|11|Kanto}} and [[Diglett's Cave]] to the east. North of the city is {{rt|6|Kanto}}.

==Demographics==
Vermilion has a population of 24 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne).

Vermilion City is home to the "Lightning American" [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Electric}}-specialist [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. The people in the town are careful about pollution, as they are afraid that an infestation of {{p|Grimer}} could occur if the seas were ever polluted. [[Celadon City]] suffers from this in [[Generation II]]. Wild {{obp|Pokémon|species}} appear in the sea around the city.
Vermilion is also home to the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|Fan Club Chairman]]. He can be found in the Pokémon Fan Club house located just slightly north of the {{t|Electric}}-specialist [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. By talking to him, the player can obtain a voucher for a free bike, the only way to obtain a bike since the price of 1,000,000 is impossible.

==Places of interest==
[[Image:Ssanne.png|thumb|right|The S.S. Anne]]
===S.S. Anne===
{{main|S.S. Anne}}

The S.S. Anne is a well-known luxury cruise liner which [[Transportation in Pokémon|sails]] the {{pkmn|world}}, stopping annually in Vermilion City. To get on the S.S. Anne in the games, players must obtain an [[S.S. Ticket]] by helping out [[Bill]]. This ship contains many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s looking for a [[Pokémon battle]].

[[Image:Vermilion Fan Club.png|thumb|right|The Vermilion City's Fan Club]]

===Pokémon Fan Club===
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}

The [[Kanto]] chapter of the Pokémon Fan Club is located in Vermilion. The Pokémon Fan Club is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every [[region]]. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and [[Pokémon Contest]]s than [[Pokémon battle]]s.

By talking to the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|Fan Club Chairman]] he will start a long talk with the player. He talks about his two favorite Pokémon, {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} at length and then gives the player a coupon to get a [[bicycle]]. In {{game|Yellow}} he got a new hobby - taking Pokémon photos. The big photos of his {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} can be seen on the walls of the clubhouse. He appears again in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} in the same place. Again, he talks about his Rapidash and gives the player a [[Rare Candy]] for listening to his story.

===Construction Site===
There is a man using a {{p|Machop}} to build a house on cleared off land in the north-east side of the city. Interestingly, he's still not finished three years after he started in [[Generation I]], as he does not have enough money to begin building. This man's Machop can cause [[Glitch dimension|a glitch]] in [[Generation II]]. In [[Generation IV]], the Construction Site consumes most of the north-eastern side of the city, playing a slightly bigger role in the game. There are many {{m|Rock Smash|smash-able}} rocks surrounding the building site that conceal many hidden items such as [[Shard]]s, [[Heart Scale]]s, and other valuable items.

===In-game trade===
In one of the houses south and a little east of the Pokémon Center is a girl that wants to [[trade]] the player a {{p|Farfetch'd}} for a {{p|Spearow}}. The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "CH'DING" ("DUX" in Generation I), and it will be holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Stick}}. The OT will be "ELYSSA" and its ID will be 08810. The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as the one that the player traded. Oddly enough, the OT is colored blue - despite that the previous owner of that {{p|Farfetch'd}} is a girl.

===Fishing Brother===
In Generation I and [[Generation III]], a man known as the "Fishing Guru" can be found in Vermilion City who gives away an [[Old Rod]] to the player. Later (in Generation II) he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the [[Fishing Brothers]].

==Vermilion Gym==
{{main|Vermilion Gym}}

[[Image:Vermilion Gym FRLG.png|thumb|right|Vermilion Gym]]
The Vermilion Gym is the official [[gym]] of Vermilion City. It is based on {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Lt. Surge]]. Trainers who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Thunder}}. Vermilion Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and trainers are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in Generation I, and an electric fence in Generation III. The only way to get in the final room, where Lt. Surge is located, was to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the player incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In Generation II, these traps are not turned on. After Lt. Surge is defeated, he will give the player the Thunder Badge, {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, and the ability to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
Vermilion is split into two main areas; the center city and the port. The [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club]] headquarters is located in the center city and the [[S.S. Anne]] arrives once in a month in the port. Some of the citizens are [[PokéFan]]s and [[sailor]]s.

The first visit to Vermilion covers the rounds from ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' to ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} saves the citizens' {{obp|Pokémon|species}} kidnapped by [[Lt. Surge]].

When {{adv|Yellow}} visits the city, the readers learn of the legend of Vermilion Harbor: The (proven) myth of the four stones that lie at the bottom of the harbor and never lose their powers of starting a Pokémon's [[evolution]].

[[File:Vermillionport.png|thumb|right|Vermilion Port in [[Generation IV]]]]
Much has changed from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]]. Most of the city is now covered in grass and sandy patches along the shoreline. The construction site has grown, while the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] has been redesigned and expanded. The [[S.S. Anne]]'s port has also had an archway added to the entrance. In [[Generation II]] nothing major has changed, though the city has extended into {{rt|11|Kanto}} near [[Diglett's Cave]] and the Vermilion City port has been redesigned into a building, where the [[S.S. Aqua]] transports passengers to and from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. Also, Snorlax was also relocated from Route 12 to the entrance to Diglett's Cave. To move it, trainers had to use a [[Pokégear]] tuned to the PokéFlute Channel, as the Poké Flute did not exist in the [[Generation II]] games. In [[Generation IV]] the [[Diglett's Cave]] is pushed back to {{rt|11|Kanto}}.

==Trivia==
[[Image:SS Truck.png|thumb|right|The truck, as it appears in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.]]
*Its Japanese motto is {{tt|クチバはオレンジゆうやけのいろ|Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets}}.
*In [[Generation I]], a [[truck]] appears as scenery in the [[S.S. Anne]]'s port, though it is only visible if the player actively seeks it out. Due to the scarcity of scenery in the Generation I games, as they were on a less powerful system, rumors began to spring up about the availability of {{p|Mew}} through a [[Poké Ball]] that could be found underneath. Though the rumor has long since been proven false, the truck makes a reappearance in the [[Generation III]] remakes. This time, an item can be found-- a [[Lava Cookie]], not available until later on in the game.
*Although Vermilion is a "port" city, there is technically no way for ships to reach it, as there are no water paths to open ocean. This raises questions as to how it can function as a port, as even the [[Kanto_Route_17|Cycling Road]] has no apparent drawbridge.
*Interestingly, in the Japanese version, all the trainers fought in the gym have distinctly Western names. This is likely because the city Vermilion is based on, Yokohama, was the first port in Japan to be open to foreigners, in particular Americans. This is why the city itself has an American Gym leader.

So what's the change in the decision? Did Evkl change his mind? I think these combined pages are going to be crowded when listing differences. And it makes other pages like Green, Yellow, and Emerald stick out.

The differences can be listed in separate articles, if they are going to be at all. A summary can be given on this main article, like '''Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver have different sets of wild Pokémon obtainable.''' But, I think such a list can be presented compactly like this:

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" style="margin: auto; border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;"
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! width="50%" | Gold-only

! colspan="2" | Also in Crystal
|-
|

* m

|}

Of course, you could vastly simplify it since we aren't discussing Pokémon Crystal. Here's the logic to decide which Pokémon goes where: If a Pokémon is in:
* all 3: don't list.
* none of the 3: don't list.
* in Gold and Silver only: list with '''a b c'''
* in Gold only: list with '''d e f'''
* in Silver only: list with '''g h i'''
* in Gold and Crystal only: list with '''k l m'''
* in Silver and Crystal only: list with '''n o p'''

I think we shouldn't compare with the third of the series in these paired articles though, that can be done in the article for the third game itself.

I can't really think of any other major differences that would require such a detailed explanation though.

For large chunks of information common to all games in a series, perhaps create another article like '''Generation III Hoenn''' or '''Generation II Kanto'''. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:10, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Blatant lies==
''Gold and Silver also introduced the concept of [[evolution]] by [[Methods of evolution|methods]] other than [[level]]ing, using an [[evolutionary stone]], or [[Trade|trading]].''

I removed this sentence, since evolutionary stones and trade evolutions were quite obviously already introduced in Generation I. -[[User:Pat|Pat]] 06:13, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

==Red not a reference to Special?==
It says that Red's team references Red from Special by including a Pikachu, Snorlax, and Espeon - is this true? It seems more likely (to me, at least) that it's a fairly generic team based on Generation 1 - he has all four starting Pokemon from Red/Green/Blue/Yellow, and the two non-legendary Pokemon that could be found outside of random encounters (though the Eevee has evolved). Does anyone else agree that Red's team referencing Special should be removed from the article?
:I agree. This subject has also come up in the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Red's Pikachu]] article. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 15:41, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
::Surely it's the other way round, as so much of Special is based on the games? For instance, Gold and Red going to battle at Mt. Silver and Lance telling Silver that he needs to treat his Pokemon with more care. I mean, he doesn't get the team exactly like Red in GS until the GS arc in the manga. I thought it was pretty obvious that Red's manga team is based on his team in Generation II as opposed to the other way around.

=='''Glitches'''==

== Internal clock "glitch" - Ruby/Sapphire? ==

The internal clock wore out the game cartridge's battery faster, reducing the time it would last to about 6 years.

I'd guess that eventually, yes, the internal batteries of RSE will wear out, but it seems to me to be less of an issue since migrating forward is an option - an option that will hopefully be retained as long as Pokemon lives.

== The Plot ==

What's up with the plot section? I don't know much about the plot of that game but it just stops after the player battles Morty for the Fog Badge. He's only the fourth Gym Leader!

== Name Rater x2 ==

Not very important, but I think it's neat how it's like that. --[[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 00:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah. Use of the Game Boy Color. I think it did that in Yellow, too, but I'm not sure. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
::I'll check later.
::Edit: Yes, it does it in Yellow. --[[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 03:47, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

== Name Rater x2 ==

Did it occur that Gold, Silver where the first games to have ''two'' Name Raters as compared to one per game. This is obivously because Gold & Silver have two regions, not one. I was just wondering if that's good triva for the page.--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritmaster]] 15:11:29 23 August 2009(UTC)

== Language Differences ==
I've seen on other places on Bulbapedia that there are some interesting differences between the Japanese and the International Versions of Gold/Silver, most notably swapping Teddiursa and Phanpy families around, but also some sprite differences for trainers and Pokémon. Is there a way these changes could be listed somewhere?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 13:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
==Cloning Glitch==
was the glitch purposely placed as it appears in other games?[[User:(insertUser:(ScarletScarabX)|(ScarletScarabX)]] 00:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is the "Plot" section waaaay too long and over-detailed? --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 15:29, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Gold and Silver}}

'''Pokémon Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|金|きん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Gold'') and '''Pokémon Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Silver'') were the fifth and sixth [[Pokémon games]] to be released in Japan. They were released on November 21, 1999. Like {{2v2|Red|Green}} before them, they are paired versions, with few differences aside from available Pokémon.

As Pokémon had become an international phenomenon already with the release of {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} in North America and other regions, the translated versions of these games were greatly expected, and arrived Stateside on October 15, 2000. Again, much like Red and Green/Blue, Gold and Silver were followed shortly by a third version with minor changes, {{game|Crystal}}, as well as remakes two generations later in the form of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Gold and Silver brought with them many changes to the Pokémon world, as the first set of sequels to the [[Generation I]] games. Unlike Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow; 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 game. The player begins his journey in [[New Bark Town]], which is fittingly known as "The Town Where Winds of a New Beginning Blow."

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main game===
{{ga|Ethan|The player}} begins his 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) 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 [[Zephyr Badge]], 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 [[Lure Ball]] 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 [[Hive Badge]] 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 groups|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 [[Plain Badge]], awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the badge, getting 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 on 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 {{type2|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the [[Fog Badge]].

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 {{type2|Fighting}} type Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the [[Storm Badge]]. 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 {{type2|Steel}}. When the player gets their sixth badge, the [[Mineral Badge]], 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 Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts 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 get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|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 {{type2|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the [[Glacier Badge]], 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 {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|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; or they can go straight to {{rt|44|Johto}}, now unblocked, and the [[Ice Cave]] to get to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type2|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the [[Rising Badge]], however, Clair makes 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 [[Type-enhancing_item#Dragon_Fang |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 Master Ball 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 the [[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]] {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], whose specialty is {{t|Poison}}. [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, follows, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{type2|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon champion]], [[Lance]], challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, Oak and his co-host on [[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 a [[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 reign 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 [[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 [[Cerulean Cape]] and persuaded to return to the gym. [[Giovanni]], the previous Leader of [[Viridian City]], has now left, and former Kanto [[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 the [[Seafoam Islands]] and can be fought there.

When the player has earned all eight Kanto badges (and, therefore, all sixteen badges in the Indigo League), 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 the 3-year Pokémon master {{ga|Red}} stands alone to be fought. When Red is defeated, the credits roll again and, afterwards, 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==
Pokémon Gold and Silver continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable]], but also revamped it as well. Gold and Silver (as well as Crystal) introduced backwards-connectivity to the trading processes, allowing players to trade with other Generation II games, as well as Red, Blue and Yellow (and Green, in Japan). This has to be done in order to complete the Pokédex without cheating or using [[glitch]]es, since each of games has version exclusive Pokémon which cannot be obtained in another version.

The games are not compatible with games released as part of later [[generation]]s.

==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 {{type2|Dark}}. 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: the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Lance]], who uses {{type2|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===
Each game features 100 new Pokémon species, and pre-recorded data each of them, plus the 151 Pokémon of Generation I. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired through the use of attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, or cheating.

*{{fnb|1}}Exclusive to Silver in the Japanese versions.
*{{fnb|2}}Exclusive to Gold in the Japanese 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 [[Pokémon Music]] station, or listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in these games. A [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Lure Ball]] 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 [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Friend Ball]] 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.
===Cloning glitch===
Gold and Silver also introduced the first readily-accessible [[Pokémon cloning|cloning glitch]] in the Pokémon franchise. Unlike the hard-to-use glitch in [[Generation I]], this glitch would not harm the game's save file. It allowed the player to make a perfect copy of one Pokémon and any [[held item]] it was carrying. Numerous tricks could be utilized with this glitch, such as having multiple one-time-only items, like [[Master Ball]]s. This glitch would be repeated in later generations.

===Kanto===
After defeating [[Lance]], and becoming the [[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 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]] 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 [[Poké Doll|lost doll]]. According to her mother, this is the same 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 [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] 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 (Celadon City)|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 [[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 {{DL|Cerulean City|bike shop}} in [[Cerulean City]] is closed, and the owners have moved to Goldenrod City in Johto.
* The "coffee 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 [[Beta Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] is closed while the [[Baoba|warden]] is on a vacation. Instead, the Johto Bug-Catching Contest at the National Park takes its place. Through external game manipulation, an unused portal to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City can be found. Players can use a [[GameShark]] or similar device to enter the unfinished Safari Zone.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/docs/gscsafarizone Glitch City Laboratories - Pokemon GSC Safari Zone] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>
* 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 the [[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.

==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 or not 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 [[HP]] in {{pkmn|battle}}, boost the power of moves of a specific type, or increase the Pokémon's [[happiness]], among other uses. All {{pkmn|Trainers}} 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 "[[Pokémon March]]" or "[[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 Daycare]]. 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===
The game introduces [[shiny Pokémon]], Pokémon which have a different coloring than their species has normally, and which appear very rarely (a 1 in 8,192 chance). In these games, shiny Pokémon often have better stats than regular Pokémon, but can never achieve maximum stats for that species (as shininess is based on the Pokémon's [[Individual values|IV]]s in this generation). There is one exception to the shiny Pokémon system: 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 [[elemental types|types]] were introduced, {{type2|Steel}} and {{type2|Dark}}. These two types serve to balance the {{type2|Psychic}}, which previously was only weak to {{type2|Bug}} moves; however, Bug-types lacked any powerful offensive moves in past games. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{type2|Fighting}}, which was only [[super effective]] against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type2|Rock}}s (all of which are rarely used in competitive battling); Steel and Dark are both weak against Fighting. 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-types are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, like {{m|Bite}} (previously of the {{type2|Normal}}) and {{m|Thief}}, which are super-effective against Psychic-types. Dark-types are also strong against {{type2|Ghost}}s, 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 against Bug-type attacks.

Some type match-ups were changed as well. In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-types; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the Pokémon television series. {{type2|Poison}} originally were effective against Bug-types and Bug-types ineffective against Poison; 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 {{type2|Fire}} (previously they did normal damage). In this version several moves had their type changed. For example, the move {{m|Gust}} was a Normal-type in the first generation games but is now a {{type2|Flying}} move; the move Bite was a Normal-type move in the first generation, but now is Dark-type. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} are now {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}} (in Generation I, they were pure {{t|Electric}}).

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 Pokémon Gold and Silver typically lose the ability to save after a period of about seven years, due to the internal battery running dry (this is due to the constantly-running clock). However, the battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind, although replacing it will reset the game's data. The problem appears less often with {{game|Crystal}}.

One sign that the battery will soon lose the ability to save is that the game will not keep track of the time correctly while the game is not being played.

==Trivia==
* Like {{game|Red and Green|s}} before them, Gold and Silver have been remade with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|paired versions]] where both the version mascot of the game played and the counterpart game's version mascot are both catchable without trades.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver were the last [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|paired versions]] where Pokémon sprite designs differed between the two games, though several (but not all) of {{game|Crystal}}'s sprites are based on designs used in Gold and Silver.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver started the trend of having [[legendary Pokémon]] as [[Version mascot|mascots]] and the trend of using types of precious stones or metals as names, as opposed to the mascots of the previous games, which used [[starter Pokémon]] as mascots and had their names based on colors.
**However, gold and silver can be considered colors as well as metals.
* The Johto region's starters are the only set of main series [[starter Pokémon]] to remain solely their primary types of {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} throughout their evolution.
* Pokémon Gold, Silver, {{v2|Crystal}}, and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]] are the only Pokémon games which contain ''two'' regions with different names.
* None of the [[in-game trades]] 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.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only games so far to have differences between the version-exclusive Pokémon in the Japanese and international releases, with the {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Phanpy}} families getting swapped in the localizations; the Teddiursa family is in the Japanese Silver and non-Japanese Gold, while the Phanpy family is the opposite. In all versions of the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Teddiursa family is in SoulSilver while the Phanpy family is in HeartGold, like the original Japanese Gold and Silver.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[versions]] so far to be released in Australia before the U.S.
* These are the only games before [[Generation IV]] to be released in South Korea.
* Lugia and Ho-Oh are the only version mascots to be classified as "secret" Pokémon in the [[Generation IV]] games. This is due to the fact that, prior to the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, they were unobtainable in the Generation III and IV handheld games without an event.
* Gold and Silver, as well as [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]] have the most types that have been specialised in by [[Gym Leaders]], adding up to 15.
** If one includes the Elite Four, {{type|Ground}} is the only type that has not been specialised in during these games. {{ga|Blue}} replaced [[Giovanni]] as the last Kanto Gym Leader, and has no specialty type, preventing Ground from being specialised in.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[version|main series]] games that have not had an official soundtrack album released.

{{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 sixth Pokémon game in the [[Version|main series]]; however, in Japan it was actually the seventh Pokémon game. It was released as a sister game of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It featured various fixes and some new additions, including the short animations of Pokémon's battle sprites upon being released from their [[Poké Ball]] and the introduction of the option to play a {{ga|Kris|girl}} [[Player character|character]], among others. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] (and later in the game, [[Kanto]]) and the player's starting area is [[New Bark Town]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He gives the player the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}. The player (known by default as {{ga|Ethan|Gold}} or Kris) meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during an 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 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; even more so, the Trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This Trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game. The rival always chooses the Pokémon that the player's starter is weak against.

[[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, as well as trying to contact their missing leader using radio broadcasts.

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across a man named [[Eusine]], hopeful of catching the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Suicune}}. To earn Suicune's respect, Eusine will challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}} once.

As in all previous games, the goal of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym Leader]]s, win all eight badges, and take on the {{jo|Elite Four}} and the current League's {{pkmn|Champion}}. Afterwards, the player will be able to travel to the region of [[Kanto]] and get the chance to take on its Gym Leaders for their badges. After winning all eight, Professor Oak will give the player permission to go to [[Mount Silver]] and get the chance to face the hero from [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}.

==Features==
===Changes from Gold and Silver===
* Another character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|the player]] to earn its respect.
* Both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be found in this game; Lugia in the [[Whirl Islands]], and Ho-Oh at the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. They are both level 60 when they are caught. However, Ho-Oh cannot be caught until {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are all caught.
* 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 the Unown.
* Extra grass was added to the route west of [[Violet City]], and in this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{t|Fire}}-type 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 Town|Azalea]] Gym and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super-effective. Areas like the [[Ice Path]] and [[Lance]]'s chamber at the [[Indigo Plateau]] received alternate designs as well.
[[File:CrystalBattle.gif|frame|right|Pokémon sprites are now animated]]
* Players can now catch certain Pokémon that were exclusive to either Gold or Silver. For example, {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}} are both catchable in this game but were exclusive to only a certain version previously.
* {{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 [[Burned Tower]], instead appearing exclusively in Mt. Silver.
* Previously, Trainers who called on the [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] all said the same thing 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 {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, etc).
* 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.
* Some Trainers were repositioned on the map.
* Suicune, instead of being a side legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. The player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Clear Bell]] (where in Gold and Silver the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing|Rainbow}} or {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|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.
* 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 chain of events to obtain the [[Rising Badge]] 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 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.
* The [[Pokémon Daycare]] folk will give a free [[Pokémon egg]] to the player.
* The function to reset the clock from Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed.
* Pokémon sprites are now animated, a feature that would not be seen again until {{game|Emerald}}.
* Certain trainers have their dialogues changed.
* Certain Pokémon, such as {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Raikou}}, had errors fixed from their Gold and Silver sprites.

===Changes from the Japanese version of Crystal===
[[Image:CrystalJapanese.png|thumb|right|175px|Japanese version box art.]]
The English version of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of Gold and Silver, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:

* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught in the [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special mobile event allowed players to obtain, via mobile phone link-up, the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a nurse in the Pokémon Communication Center in Goldenrod City, may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, taking the GS Ball to the shrine in Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to battle. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable without the use of a cheating device like [[GameShark]], the event was translated, indicating that it was intended for the English releases 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.
* Players could link to [[trade]] or [[Pokémon battle|battle]] through the use of a mobile phone adapter.
* Players could leave a Pokémon and a request 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 feature was later used for the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] in [[Generation IV]].
* The News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Mobile Adapter. Pokémon News was compiled from the save data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
* The old man at the Pokémon Daycare south of Goldenrod City gave an Egg Ticket which, when taken to the Trade Center at the Pokémon Communication Center, could be traded for an Odd Egg which carried a rare {{shiny}} baby Pokémon knowing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. In the English version the old man instead gives away the egg itself.

===Gyms===
As in Pokémon Gold and Silver, 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}}). Once again, as in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Kanto is accessible after defeating the Elite Four, allowing players to 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===
The Elite Four, located at the [[Indigo Plateau]], also remained unchanged. The Elite trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Lance]], who uses {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Pokémon===
Each game contains pre-recorded data on all 251 Pokémon of [[Generation II|this]] and the [[Generation I|previous]] generation (including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats. Mew (the Nintendo exclusive of Generation I) and Celebi are the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired through the attending of a Nintendo sponsored event.

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

===Pokégear===
The Pokégear is received in the same way and its functionality remains the same as Gold and Silver. However, there is a new radio show, [[Buena's Password]], where players can tune in and receive points in order to redeem prizes.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in this game. A [[Lure Ball]] is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], and a [[Friend Ball]] 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. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, only one Poké Ball can be created at once; in Crystal this changed so that the player could create multiple balls simultaneously, provided the Apricorns were of the same color. Players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the ball. In Generation III, other specialized balls were made and the Apricorn balls were not included. However, they returned in the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes of Gold and Silver]].

===Kanto===
The Generation II incarnation of Kanto remained the same as in Pokémon Gold and Silver, though some of the wild Pokémon that appeared were altered.

==New features==
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 would continue even into Generation IV. Crystal introduced the option to play as a female. The game also featured the first [[move tutor]] of the series, as well as the first {{jo|Battle Tower}}. The Japanese version of Crystal also introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[GBA Wireless Adapter|Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]], and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games.

==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>

==Trivia==
* 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.
* Due to the {{ga|Kris|female character}} not being in Gold or Silver, the sprite of the character will automatically change to the {{ga|Ethan|male character}}'s sprite when trading or battling with another game.
* Why the [[GS Ball]]-related events are not available in the English version has never been officially revealed; Nintendo says that they had FCC issues, but it is more likely a result of children with cell phones being not nearly as common outside of Japan in 2001, and to the plethora of different styles of phones in use in North America. While the mobile adapter system did not make the cut, the maps and text for the system can still be found in the English version, indicating that it was initially intended for the English release.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|third version]] to have its [[version mascot]] come before the version mascots of the other two games of its generation in the [[National Pokédex]].
* Pokémon Crystal is also the only third version in a generation with three legendary version mascots to have its version mascot not in a [[legendary trio]] with the other two.
* Although {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} are compatible with all [[Game Boy]] models (original up to the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]), Crystal will not work on models prior to the [[Game Boy Color]]. This is due to the cartridges being of different models.
* Pokémon Crystal was the first game to include animated sprites for Pokémon, though this only applies to front sprites (back sprites remain 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.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only version in Japanese to have the term "Version" in its name. This may be because it is the first game whose name is completely in katakana, rather than kanji, that uses an English word (クリスタル ''Crystal'') instead of the Japanese equivalent 結晶 (けっしょう ''Kessho''). All later games, whose names are in katakana (including the remakes of Red and Green and Gold and Silver) do not have バージョン ''Version'' added to the end, despite all using English words.
** It should be noted, however, that the first game to have its name fully in katakana was {{game|Yellow}}. The difference is that Yellow used a Japanese word (in this case, Pikachu's Japanese name) while Crystal used the English word for its name.
* Pokémon Crystal is the last main series game to use the slogan ''Gotta catch 'em all!''.
* In the English versions, whenever an ellipsis appears in the dialogues of battles, it is aligned slightly higher than usual. This is rather a lapse on the part of Nintendo, which likely forgot to change this alignment from the Japanese script. This is similar to the international versions of Gold and Silver accidentally using Japanese quotation marks on certain occasions such as radio stations.
