Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color is Nintendo's handheld gaming system which surpassed the earlier model. It was released on October 21, 1998 in Japan, in November, 1998 in North America, and 1999 in Europe. The main feature of this model, as the name says, is the color screen. The first Pokémon games to this handheld were the Generation II games, Pokémon Gold and Silver.
The processor, which is an 8080 work-alike with a few extra (bit manipulation) instructions, has a clock speed of approx. 8 MHz, twice as fast as that of the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Color also has four times as much memory as the original.
