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.
In the Super Smash Bros. Series
Many Pokémon from Poké Balls, such as Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi and Wobbuffet, originated from this game.
