|genre=Role-playing video game |series=''Pokémon'' |modes=Single player, Multiplayer |platforms=Game Boy, Game Boy Color (with SGB support; no GB and SGB support in South Korea) |italic title=no }} are the second installments of the ''Pokémon'' series of role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. The games were later enhanced for its successor, the Game Boy Color, and marketed for the latter console. They were first released in Japan in 1999, Australia and North America in 2000, and Europe in 2001. ''Pokémon Crystal'', a special edition version, was released for the Game Boy Color roughly a year later in each region. In 2009, Nintendo remade ''Gold'' and ''Silver'' for the Nintendo DS as ''Pokémon HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver''. The games introduce 100 new species of Pokémon, and follow the progress of the central character, whose name the player may choose, in his quest to master Pokémon battling. Both games are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and, while both can be played separately, it is necessary to trade between them and their backward compatible predecessors in order to fully complete the games' Pokédexes. The Johto Saga of the Pokémon anime is based on the new region introduced in the games. ''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'' continued the enormous success of its predecessors as Pokémon began to form into a multi-billion dollar franchise. The games almost matched the sales of ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'' and went on to jointly sell millions of copies worldwide. By 2010, the recorded sales of ''Gold'' and ''Silver'' were at 23 million units sold. These are the only Pokémon games released in South Korea prior to the foundation of Nintendo's South Korean subsidiary and Pokémon Korea, Inc. in 2006, and the release of ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' there in 2008. ''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'' were released in South Korea on April 24, 2002, exclusively for the Game Boy Color like ''Pokémon Crystal''. ==Gameplay== (詳細はprotagonist around the fictional universe, interacting with objects and people. As the player explores this world he or she will encounter different terrains, such as grassy fields, forests, caves, and seas in which different Pokémon species reside. As the player randomly encounters one of these creatures, the field switches to a turn-based "battle scene", where the Pokémon will fight. There are two main goals within the games: following through the main storyline and defeating the Elite Four and Lance to become the new Champion,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pokemon Gold and Silver Strategy Guide (page 10) )〕 and completing the Pokédex by capturing, evolving, and trading to obtain all 251 creatures. A major aspect of this is developing and raising the player's Pokémon by battling other Pokémon, which can be found in the wild or owned by other Trainers. This system of accumulating experience points (EXP) and leveling up, characteristic and integral to all ''Pokémon'' video games, controls the physical properties of the Pokémon, such as the battle statistics acquired, and the moves learned.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pokemon Gold and Silver Strategy Guide basics )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pokémon Gold and Silver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
