The Generation II games are the only ones to feature two regions in full (excluding Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreens Sevii Islands).

These games are the only paired Pokémon games to feature different sprites for each Pokémon in each version.

In order for the player to reverse the glitch, he/she has to turn the game off. If the player cheated by getting a Pokémon to level 100 after it obtains all of its EXP points, it keeps leveling up to level 100. This might be the cause of an accidental drop of the cartridge which may chip a piece off the cartridge which makes a bit of the game corrupt. At times, the screen may glitch up, the color might be grayscale or neon. When the game freezes up, the save file may get corrupted and the player may have to reset the entire game. Toward the ending use of the battery of the games, the game may glitch up because in the PCs if the mailbox is checked, mysterious messages are sent by nobody and the messages implant a code which allows the player to gain Pokédollars from it. After around six years though, the battery would die and any game that was saved will be deleted. With the Gold and Silver game cartridges, a battery was used to support the in-game clock. The player will run into them several times throughout the course of the game, as they plot numerous plans and schemes.Īs in every other main series Pokémon game, there are a few Legendary Pokémon that debuted in these games. With the disappearance of their leader Giovanni, Team Rocket restarts their goal of stealing Pokémon over the world, starting in Johto. Once again, Team Rocket are the featured villains in the games.
