Radio stations vary from Professor Oak's Pokemon Channel (which gives you locations of the monsters in the game), a music channel and the Lucky Channel. Keeping track of time is important as some monsters only appear during certain times of the day. With the Pokegear you can check the time, look at an overworld map, make and receive cellular phone calls and listen to the radio, among other things. The Pokegear is possibly the handiest gadget in the game next to the backpack. Like the previous versions there are monsters only available in one cart or the other. There are artwork differences between Gold and Silver-some Pokemon have different poses depending on which version you're playing. Special versions of different monsters will turn up during the game too, and you'll only have one chance to catch them (for instance, the Gyarados who's terrorizing a lake area is gold-colored, different from normal). Gold and Silver have two new types of Pokemon-Dark and Steel, in addition to later evolutions of some monsters like Onixand Slowbro. Eevee can evolve into two additional forms-A psychic Eevee and a dark Eevee. Get a male and a female of those and take them to a farming couple which breeds Pokemon and you'll get an egg about a half hour later (see sidebar). Some of these are pre-evolved forms of popular monsters like Pikachu, Electabuzz and Clefairy. Back in the early 2000s, Jynx had a redesign with its face being changed from black to purple and while the international versions of the games had made the change, the Japanese version stayed with the original sprite.There are a total of 251 Pokemon in the new games-151 from the first, and too new. In addition to this, many animations of moves such as Thunderbolt have had their colour and flashing reduced.Ī change exclusive to Pokémon Gold & Silver in Japan is the alteration of the sprite for the Pokémon Jynx. Firstly, the HP bar for Pokémon never disappears in the Virtual Console release and even moves with the sprite. This method can connect to Pokémon Green, Red, Blue, Yellow as well as Gold, Silver & CrystalĪnother change included is the change in move animations. However, if you break the wireless connection, the features will end. From there, the general Cable Club features continue as normal. When you go to the Cable Club in each Pokémon Center, the game will run as normal but will activate a Virtual Console feature that will ask you to search for or join another player's game. The most notable addition of the Virtual Console titles are the inclusion of Wireless Battle & Trade features. It also uses the X Button to bring up the pause menu like the 3DS games, rather than bringing up the Virtual Console menu. In addition to this, it does not allow for the Virtual Console features of Save Backups or Restore Points. Pokémon Gold & Silver have been put onto the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console and have largely remained unaltered including glitches,, however unlike the other Virtual Console games, this game comes with a variety of alterations.
