Pokémon GS (Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions) is an RPG released for Game Boy Color in 2000. It is the second installment in the Pokémon series and sequel to the original Pokémon game.
Gameplay
When starting the game, the player must set an in-game clock. After this, the player names the character. In the Gold and Silver versions the player is restricted to playing as a male character like in the previous game. However, in the Crystal version, the player is able to choose a gender.
The button system is the same from the previous title, except that items can now be 'registered' to the 'SELECT' button for quick use. Another advantage is that more items can be held with a new system that divides the player's 'Pack' into separate parts, for Balls, Key Items, and others. One downside is that Key Items cannot be stored in the PC, but it does allow space to be saved on the PC.
Story
The storyline is almost the same from R/B/Y, except that you are now set in the new region of Johto. When you start, you receive your starter for an errand, like in R/B/Y. You have to go to Mr. Pokemon's House. He gives you a Mystery Egg, and Prof. Oak gives you the Pokédex. You then must return to the lab, and you meet your rival, who stole the pokémon that is stronger against your starter. You then return to the lab and must collect all 8 badges, while stopping Team Rocket at the Lake of Rage, Radio Tower and other places. Then you must beat the Elite 4. Once that is complete, you can go to the Kanto Region. You must collect 8 badges there and then must beat Red (Ash) in Mt. Silver. Now all that is left is to collect all 251 Pokemon.
In the Super Smash Bros. Series
Many Pokémon from Poké Balls, such as Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi and Wobbuffet, originated from this game.
