Pokémon Gold and Silver, developed by Game Freak and released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, revolutionized the Pokémon franchise. Praised for their innovative features, including a real-time clock affecting gameplay, and the introduction of 100 new Pokémon (Gen 2), including fan favorites like Pichu, Cleffa, Hoothoot, Chikorita, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, and Lugia, they quickly gained global popularity. A 10th-anniversary remake, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, was released for the Nintendo DS in 2009.
