Silver's success over Gold is probably down to Lugia appearance in Pokemon the Movie 2000
Lugia > Ho-Oh
I think it has more to do with Lugia having a much cooler design. Ho-oh was in the tv which I am sure more people saw so it can’t be chalked up to exposure
Yeah ho-oh is just a rainbow turkey
Lugia looks cooler.
Crazy, most people I knew growing up owned gold
It was a miracle that Kanto was even added due to space limitations on the GB cart. Satoru Iwata was a miracle worker for Nintendo and is the biggest reason why Kanto was included due to him being a programming genius.
This isn't entirely true. Yes, late in development Iwata wrote an algorithm that helped compress the code, but he has little do with Kanto's inclusion in the game. The 97 and 99 betas both already have Kanto.
@@realINTERNETFRIEND I thought Iwata was involved with the 99 Beta, as for 97 wasn't Kanto Downsized to just a city in that version with most of it missing?

1999 - 2006 was possibly the greatest time period of my life. Pokemon the first movie, then the second and third movies in theatres (still have some of my promo cards), saving up for my lime green Gameboy color and Pokemon Red with a worm light and link cable, then later pre-ordering Silver months in advance and counting down the days til that October release. The golden age of video gaming, N64, Playstation, Xbox, Halo party sleepovers, LOTR, lining up for midnight releases for all the cool games and for all the best movies, good times.
Halo parties were dope!!!!
My 12th birthday party was the best. Invited over 15 kids from my school that I figured would want to play halo, had them get me xbox controllers for my bday, told them to bring copies of Halo 2 if they had them, and moved all the TVs in the house to one room. Had a 16 player lan party, ordered 100 wings and some pizzas. Peak birthday party honestly.
I've never felt more nostalgic
I can safely say, if gamefreak brought back 2 region games, with a time and day system for catching, events and store; with pokemon following you behind; they'd make a best seller!
oh 1000% this is basically what people have been begging for outside of d/p remakes
@@dr.dylansgame5583 d&p sucked
@@itisfreak still better than sword and shield
@@Bluepheonix420 anything after emerald was trash
@@itisfreak nah gen 5 was great specially the b2&w2 games
Also, according to the Hoenn museum in Slateport, Johto's water is "slightly saltier than in the other regions"
I have a story about Pokémon gold. I was in my early teens and cherished my gold version one day I trusted the wrong kids in my house they stole it. So I went to their house and demanded to speak to their mum. I said he's stolen my gold can I come in and see if it's here his mum obliged and then managed to force it out her son that Rob has it. So I went to Robs and pleaded my case with his mum this time she asked him to if he knew anything but I heard the music from his Gameboy I said he's playing my gold! We took the cart out and she said how do I know it's yours I said to her flip it over. There clear as day my initials that I'd scratched into the silver foil on the back(and all my other games). I got my gold back. Hope you enjoyed my story 😌😁.
I have a reverse "name on game saving the day" story. When I was in my early teens I lent one of my PS2 games to my younger cousin cuz I finished it, didn't love it, and was gonna trade it in anyway (this was right at the beginning of GameStop trade-ins). A couple weeks later I went back to claim my game and found that my uncle, in permanent marker, had written my name on the box cover so that everyone knew it was mine. So I was stuck with a game I never played again instead of getting $10 towards a different one. lol
The name ‘Robs’ definitely goes with that little thief.
Glad you got the game back, it was quite expensive at that time & that cheeky mugger had the time to nick it from you. I would’ve knocked him flat in front of hi mother.
Another fun fact: If you trade the starter Pikachu from Yellow Version to a gen 2 game, you'll find he is holding a light ball. Which might explain the stat buff he receives in Yellow.
Gold Silver and Crystal will always remain my favorite pokemon games. They were the first games I really knew what I was doing as a child when I played them, and the sprites and music are just some of the best.
1:42 - To add on to your fact: The reason why G/S were published by Daewon in South Korea was because at the time there was a ban on Japanese imports in South Korea, so some companies in South Korea would get the rights from Nintendo to publish and distribute Nintendo's products in South Korea, but they had to publish and distribute them under the Korean company's name.
2:16 berserk gene is also briefly mentioned in "Detective Pikachu" movie. the item which really only appeared in gen 2 games and then NEVER reappered is "Brick Piece" - which is held by Machop (not Machoke, and not Machamp) if traded from Gen 1 game, it does absolutely nothing and can be sold for 25$
Another interesting fact about Gold and Silver is that Lance's Aerodactyl knew the move Rock Slide which Aerodactyl couldn't learn in Gen 2. It's also interesting to note that somehow Lance acquired 3 Dragonites all before level 55 which is impossible.
In gen 1 his Dragonite also knew barrier which it can't learn
@@tiagocardosom lance a hacker confirmed
I believe his Dragonairs evolved prematurely due to the waves that Team Rocket used at Lake of Rage.
@@iRazenrak that's really cool and all but how about both Pryce's Dewgong level 29 but should evolve at 34 and Piloswine level 31 but should evolve level 33? In all games these kind of stuff happen
I always interpreted it like.... *your* Dragonite evolves at level 55, you feel? Like the one that you, the player character, catch takes that long to evolve, and other trainers might have diffrent training methods or whatever, since obviously "levels" are like...non-diegetic to the world of the games and pokemon evolve when they're ready to evolve rather than when they've done a certain number of a certain difficulty of battles.
I still play Gold and Crystal to this day
Same here. Gold was the first video game I ever got too. I can always play through that game
Silver and crystal here
@@brentsta I played Silver for my first Pokemon game ever as a kid, and I really wish I could find a working copy now. I found 2 but they both had bad batteries and I'm unsure of my ability to fix them myself lol
@@Augustyand great game!
@@Schluebricant I used to have 4 copies of Silver with the save batteries drained.
You can get a digital copy on Nintendo's eshop.
Imagine if Lake of Rage town had a Dragon type gym, with a mini story around capturing the red gyrados before you could take on the gym (so you had a super effective pokemon)
It really amazes me how much depth and cool features they were able to cram into a Game Boy Color game.
Also, interestingly, a lot of the localization changes were reverted in HGSS: Phanpy and Teddiursa are back in their original versions, and the fisherman has his Magikarp back instead of Seaking
gold and silver were one of the few games where it was hard to pick between the legendries on the box art.
I believe you can get both pokemon in either game actually unlike the games that came after it
Only thing that holds these games back: is the "trading to evolve" system. That should have been fixed. -Having the option to trade is fine, but having a lvl 100 Haunter is NOT.
Pokemon Gold was by far my favorite. I remember thinking the game would be basically over right after the league the entire after story was a surprise, so much so I called my cousin at 3 AM telling him I had something like 13-14 badges (Collecting the kanto badges was fast, I got most of them that night) and he refused to believe me so I showed him the next day :3
He and I helped each other out I remember I had to trade him my strongest pokemon (I think it was Feraligatr) to beat Clair.
It's interesting that he actually is way better at the game than I am because he focuses on training where I always brute forced my way through but he needed my help back then ^_^;
Great Nostalgia
If you do make one on Crystal, the biggest one is that the VC version of the game actually lets you do the GS Ball event so after almost 20 years, players outside of Japan were finally able to get their hands on a legit Gen 2 Celebi which up until then was the only Pokemon from the first two gens that was unable to be obtained unless you lived in Japan.
I just started a play through of Crystal so I like to see videos of Gen. 2 games!
Don't forget about the "Added a moustache!" easter egg
What is that
@@user-mz7fw9ht4l In Crystal if you go to the celadon mansion there's a secret line of dialogue
@@mjdxp5688 thx I didn't know that

you could also get a shiny pokemon by trading from the oldergames to gold and silver despite them not existing in the older games. pretty much if you had a specific stat value on a pokemon it would be shiny when traded over to gold and silver.
Pokemon Gold and Silver are still the best games in the franchise, introducing so many game mechanics that are still employed today. The generation 2 games will always have a special place in my heart as I played these games via emulator using the Japanese ROM because the English version had not been available at that time. By the way, your channel deserves so much more views and likes.
Wrong. Just wrong.
@@AnyThingWorx IKR? Johto was complete trassh (asstrash). Shit map, shitty mon placement, shitty Kanto is tiny. GSC is literally THE WORST generation of Pokemon. Least amount of new shit.
@@tierjerks1904 Nobody's allowed to praise Johto? Bet you're a Gen 5 loser
@@AnyThingWorx He's not entitled to his opinion?
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 So, I would like to point out that you said somebody's not entitled to their opinion while also asking me the same thing. Secondly, Gen 2 is absolute garbage at the objective level, while nobody except for genwunners and gen 2 shitlords hate Gen 5, as well as nobody ever actually being able to provide a reasonable explanation as to why they hate the game.
The only tidbit I've got on GSC is that the Safari Zone had to be excluded due to running out of space for it. Pity they couldn't have brought it back for HGSS though (unless I'm dumb and missed it).
Two notable things come to mind when I played Silver as a preteen: I managed to make an entire Eevee team, and being creeped out to no end when I discovered the Unown Radio Channel.
They made a new Safari Zone in Heartgold and SoulSilver, it's on the same route you can go and find Kyogre/Groudon
@@segunthepikachufan1470 Yep, I'm dumb!
Which route is that again? I don't remember finding Kyogre or Groudon.
I don’t remember the route but it’s next to Cianwood City in the cliff
@@PaPaSea Thanks for that! Next time I pick it up, I'll give it a look!
Pokemon 2000 was why silver sold more. I remember I wanted silver but my cousins birthday came first so I got gold, my cousin and I always got the games but opposite versions.
I don’t normally sub. But im glad i ran into your channel.
Speaking of the time capsule if I'm remembering correctly, the only way in csc to get a light ball was to trade over the pikachu from yellow.
you do remember correctly, and bright powder came from the four main legendaries.
I actually didn't know all this, nice video!
So glad I found this channel and subscribe immediately after the first vid
I hope this channel will grow well
Love the vid keep em coming
Pokemon gold is definitely one of my favourite games of all time. So many memories back in the day and Ho-oh being my fav Pokemon
Keep it up sea
Just a comment to help with the CZcams algorithm
The reason why Pokemon Gold and Silver werent published by Nintendo in Korea is that Korea and Japan have some bad blood and at the time, Korea just straight up wouldnt allow Nintendo to sell their games there, so they would do what they did a lot until the late 2000s when this embargo was lifted and just have another company publish it for them in exchange for a cut of the profit.
I wish ursaring was still exclusive to silver. Silver is my favorite but if i want one of my favorite evo lines I gotta play gold.
I think it might be in crystal too but still
Ursaring is indeed in Crystal. I put over 600 play hours into mine before the battery finally died 11 years later...
@@andrewrosti7477
You can just replace the battery
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@Ultimecea90 I could, but I shake too much from cerebral palsy to do it without potentially damaging the game cartridges inner workings...
@@andrewrosti7477 try find someone else to solder it
@@andrewrosti7477 it's a simple fix you can make the tool for free..im sure someone would help
Gold was my go to
I played a hack that took me forever to start. There's three ball's on the table and no prof, you can't take any of the pokemon on the table and the neighbors say prof is in the next Town over so you head out but get stopped cause you have no pokemon.
After several days of searching I found out that there's a poke Ball in prof. Trash can that contains togepi and that's how you eventually get your starter
ive heard that the 2 games were programmed by a team of 4 people
In the code for Crystal, Bugsy and Will are identified as "female", i found that interesting as both characters are rather androgynous in design
Here's a fact: They had a Ghost Type Gym and introduced one Ghost Pokemon in these games, Misdreavus, and not one of the gym trainers or Morty had a Misdreavus in their Ghost Type Gym.
You couldn’t get this till almost end game tho
@@sonshawnzy9975 I know right, they even put the one Johto Ghost Pokemon in Kanto, at the end of the game. Misdreavus would be easy to miss if someone used repels to avoid battles.
Agreed . It’s not even that good lol
@@XXXmarquiseThere were no wild dark type Pokémon catchable before the Elite 4. Why.
@@JacksonBockus I don't know why. They placed many Gen 2 Pokémon in Kanto for some reason, possibly to try and keep them in the second half of the game. However you could get an Umbreon before the Elite Four by evolving Eevee
5:08 this has always interested me thank you! Do you know if this is still true for remakes and MD as well?
I just played gold and silver on a gameboy color emulator. When I was like 10 or 11 the red and blue version came out for the gameboy. I've never heard of all the other colors.
Really cool!!!..
The best GBC game there is.
I honestly preferred to get Silver over Gold but my brother got Gold. Silver was also a bit easier to find than Gold for some reason back then...
I remember when red blue and yellow came out. I played my gameboy color for HOURS a day ! Then in 2000 when gold and silver came out, i got gold and it blew my mind. The 2nd gen was a HUGE step up from R,B and Y so alot of people now days dont understand all the hype of gen 2. The people that grew up with the games like me understand exactly why gen 2 was so hype. Its still an amazing game 23 years later and i play them religiously!
Ahh my first memories of Pokemon...
I'm here before this video blows up. I'm also here to stay
Hoothoot in silver looks like they get caught by the police😅 i like this version
gen 2 is my childhood..i got bootleg copy where you can switch between gold and silver anytime using the same savepoint, n you can get different pokemon exclusive that way
That sounds cool asf wth
@@nothingchannel6402 Yeah..the downside is that the translation was a bit bizarre..pokemon name in pokedex have been nickname into shorter name..pokemon just short form to pkmn..'wild pokemon' turn into 'foe pkmn'..but somehow, i manage to complete this game until mount silver..i dont know how i manage to do that with bizarre translation 😂😂😂
Very cool
I wish that Lake of Rage town stayed :(
Actually, the Korean versions of Gold and Silver are based on the Western versions of the game, as it has English letters for the Credits, the English SGB borders (despite the fact that the Korean version can only be played on the GBC), and the fact that they can trade and battle with the Western versions of Gold and Silver, but not the Japanese versions (Mojibake from incompatible character sets aside, mostly on the Western end for the Hangul, but also on the Korean end for most accented characters).
On the flipside, however, Game Freak made certain things look more like the Japanese versions (such as the vertically aligned Pokémon status screen), essentially meaning that what Korea got was actually a hybrid between both the Japanese and Western versions of Gold and Silver.
Also of note is that they gave some of the Teru-Sama (or "?" in this case, since that's what they were called in the Korean Versions) the names of their corresponding items from Crystal, despite the fact that they are just as useless here as they've ever been in any version of these games, and the fact that they aren't compatible with Pokemon Stadium 2; the Japanese Versions don't recognise it, and while the Western Versions do recognise it, they can't load the save data from it.
The reason why they probably did it this way is due to Korean import laws which tend to be biased against things coming from Japan, so it was probably easier to send the people working on these versions the English ROMs instead.
I remember the first time i tried to trade a missingno. to silver version. It was a hitmontop
When i was a kid I had a gen 1 pokemon specific cheating attachment for my gbc a game editor for just red blue yellow and tgc game boy games. It let you edit everything from your/rival names to money amount to id number to items to party pokemon (and it would let you chabge the color pallet). I traded the red gyarados from silver to red then used my device to change it to a Machop. Now, it wouldnt let me trade hacked pokemon from red to silver.... Unless i evolved it. So i evolved Machop to Machoke, which was originally a shiny gyarados, and i traded it back to silver version.
It evolved into a machamp but it had a non shiny pokemon sprite. So i sent it out in battle and was shocked when it DID have the shiny flash upon entering battle DESPITE having a non shiny pokemon color. I checked the stats screen and it had shiny indicator just kept its original color. Idk why.
Do you remember if that device was made by a company called Pelican? Because i had one of those. My friend was insanely excited that I sent out a Houndoom against his Blastoise. Then Houndoom used Egg Bomb and swept his ass.
@@threehead99 ive since remembered it was called a BrainBoy and it was by Pelican yes. Mine was gen 1 though so for me to change pokes from gen 2 I had to trade to gen 1 edit that pokemon, evolve it (if I changed it to a different mon) then trade back
@@CreamerOfTheDairySquad mine did both. Thats how I got my surfing Pikachu for the mini game in my Pokemon Yellow cart. At least I know I wasnt fooling myself!
@@threehead99 lol thats how i got my surfing pika too for yellow and then traded to crystal is how I first learned that gen 2 also had a surfing pika overworld sprite lol
@@CreamerOfTheDairySquad never had Crystal, but Silver also had the overworld sprite. God that was an amazing device lol
I've played pokemon since I was 8. I'm 30 now and found out yesterday you can use hm01 to cut grass. WTF
I used to have en-gb version of pkmn silver. In my game, after I released entei, raikou and suicune from burned tower and went straight looking for them around the town (and my pkmn were not overleveled) I was able to catch them at lvl 20 (and they did not know roar, but could still flee)!
This is not featured on ROM emulators, I have not seen anyone else ever mention it and no one believes me it was the case.
I didn’t hear any facts after the sprites being different between versions because I immediately went to go and check in my games and DAMN every single sprite is different! I can’t believe I never realised!!! 🙀😱🙀
I can't decide if I prefer gen 2 or 3
If your spectical about Let's go Ho-oh and Let's go Lugia remeber kanto didn't have any box art legendaries
Ahhhh finally something better then gen 1
Gen 2 may have had more than a few flaws, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the hell out if it. Silver was my first Pokémon game. Gen II is probs my favourite gen and introduced some of my favourite Pokémon as well.
Pokémon blue was the first video game I ever played as a kid but my god did I put some hours into silver and then crystal when it came out
I thought Pokemania was Just Gen 1 Stateside, I remember all this merch & constant reshowings of Gen 1 Episodes yet very little of Gen 2 except for Pichu, Marill & Togepi because Gen 1 Anime, Lugia & Entei because the movies, & the Gen 2 games on store shelves. Gen 3 though revived Pokemania with it getting way more merch & cards than Gen 2 ever did. Gen 2 was the passed over phantom generation of Pokemon when I was a kid & that is what made it so cool. What are these 100 mysterious new Pokemon that are being hidden from us, you have to play the game to find out.
Imma follow ur twitch and join your Discord server cus why not
My favorite was the duplication glitch
Pokemon Yellow is cool if you trade it to Gen II its holding a light ball basically a reference to the anime. Im curious what would happen if you took the berserk gene to different generations? Will it delete the item, the pokemon and the item or will it crash?
Yeah my Pokemon gold plays on my gameboy pocket
Silver edition gang
If you are able to do a comparison about the American and Japanese copies of Crystal, the Japanese copy doesn't give you the Daycare egg which would contain Elekid, Magby or Smoochum. I'm at the Goldenrod City Gym at the moment in my Japanes Copy where I must remember everything like which move is an attacking move and so forth. It may be the hardest quest in a mainline game to date but I'm gonna get an American copy whenever I get a chance to and keep the Japanese copy as a collector's item more than a game to play.
GSC cianwood/ekruteak best
Question is gold and silver a continuation of red and blue or just yellow cause when you fight red at the very end he has a Pikachu on his team could it be the same Pikachu you would use in Pokémon yellow
Pikachu holds a light ball when traded from gen 1 to gen 2!
WOO! Silver!!!!!
I crashed my gen 1 game with Gengar that learned a new move with trade
6:10 all Starter Pokémon have the same base stat which is 530
Yeah
There are so many videos about the beta, i dont see you getting removed for it.
at the time it was more of a touchy subject where people thought there videos could get taken down but not anymore
I use a emulater and I put a mewtwo cheat in an it always holds a bezerk gene
gold and silver is pretty much gen 1 but BETTER I EVERY WAY. IF YOU SAY NO THEN YOU HAVE NO GROUND TO STAND ON. Simple for the fact gen 1 has so many bugs that if it were released today. It would be PANNED
ok
Gen 2 was also designed to be more of a sequel to Gen 1 than a standalone game; hence the connection to Kanto stuff
Gen 2 will always be my favorite
And SWSH are catching up to Gold and Silver at 20 million
I gotta find my gold n silver games
Currently playing fire red
Same here! I just started a Bulbasaur playthrough.
I’m Dead- Gold/Jimmy in the anime/Ethan/and in the creepypasta Lost Silver
You forgot the Spaceworld demo that covered all of Japan and had different starters
That's a bit different since I don't typically talk about beta or prerelease things
good call on the nintendo info with held, knowing nintendo the would 100% come after a youtuber with 75k subs because its totaly worth nintendo's atourney attention good job nintendo insert sarcasm here
Traded pikachu from yellow to gold and it had a light ball...
some pokemon will have items when you do that
@@PaPaSea honestly it's funny because I didn't think light ball was that old
Anyone Remember when you beat Whitney After She Stops spamming Rollout Good times
I used flash and her miltank kept missing thats how I won
Noice
A friend borrowed me a GBC and Gold and I moved away that summer they came out and I kept it. Moved back in like October and gave it back to him. Used Cyndaquil, never got to the elite 4.
The remakes came out when I wasn't playing the games. I had a gap between DP and BW. Bought SoulSilver for like 50 dollars a few years ago... can't wait to play it eventually...
Pokemon is actually evolving quite fast... take a few years off and you miss a lot. Anyways I still need to beat a gen 2 game
I knew all of them
Something I'm curious of is since Red/Blue had a scrapped girl player character which i think couldn't make it due to time constraints, why was there not a girl character for Silver and Gold? Time constraints again? Or did they really want to sell Crystal by saving the female player character for that game?
I had no idea of these secret info
Ah the game where Tentaquil didn't make the cut. Beta Politoed for those who don't know.
Idky seeing this vid reminds me I'm 30 and I'm 2000 I remember begging my parents for silver. I no longer have any of my old poke'paraphenaila
7:20 *Nintend
Bring back soul silver and heart gold for the switch. We want it with pearl and diamond
I have come from the future and it's says HeartGold and Soul Silver won't be re released on Switch But Diamond and Pearl are getting Remakes
Pokemon silver sprites was way better like in Gold..
I have a weird question but do you play nba 2k?
Yes, I even made videos on it back in 2015
PaPaSea what’s your favorite team?
Gtripp’s Channel Knicks
PaPaSea nice
Didn't everyone get silver
Crystal is better 🙄🙂
It outsold gold a little bit but it was still close
@@PaPaSea Yes i agree there is always that one pokemon game that is slightly better then the one its sold with for example pokemon black and white pokemon white was better
I remember me and my step brother both had Gold Version. He'd later get Silver too while I ended up getting Crystal for Christmas the year it came out.
I have Gold
Silver sprites were better
Not sure if it’s just me, but your commentary was hard to follow at times. I would get distracted by your gameplay when you were explaining a topic, and then have to rewind to hear what you said about something completely different than what I was watching. Like I said, though, it could just be me lol.
