Pokémon Gold and Silver: Difference between revisions

Much like in the previous ''Pokémon'' installment, the player takes the role of an eleven year-old boy (or girl in the ''Crystal'' version) and meets his (or her) town's local Pokémon researcher, in this installment Professor Elm, who gives the player a choice of one of three Pokémon to take along and train while setting out into the world to catch other monsters to train on a quest to become "Pokémon Master". This adventure begins three years after the events of the first installment and in a new region called Johto, home to 150 new monster species not found in the neighboring region of Kanto in which the previous game took place. During this adventure the player encounters a new rival who stole one of the remaining two Pokémon from Prof. Elm, whom the player the occasionally battle throughout the quest. The player must also battle a newly resurrected Team Rocket, as well as collect the eight  badges and take on the Elite Four before going on to the ultimate challenge of going against the reigning Pokémon Master, Red (the hero of the first installment). The games each feature two new legendary bird Pokémon, Ho-Oh and Lugia, the representative legendaries of Gold and Silver game versions respectively.
