Gold and Silver came out in 1999. They function on the original Game Boy, handheld hardware that was considered underpowered in 1989. They can make use of 1994's Super Game Boy. They're also fully enhanced by the Game Boy Color. The games have a real time clock function, meaning that you program the time and it keeps track of the time and day as if it were real life. This is visually represented by the color pallete changing between morning, day, and night and encounters changing based on the time of day. Certain characters and Pokémon appear on certain days or at certain times, as well as weekend events like sales. They're also compatible with the Game Boy Printer, and they're even one of the few games on the GBC to make use of the IR sensor at the top. This can be used for communication with each other or with a separate pedometer called the Pocket Pikachu GS that transfers items back to your game. The updated GBC-exclusive Crystal, 95% of which is Gold and Silver, made use of another accessory called the Mobile Adapter GB. It allowed for online battles and trading across Japan, news updates, and special downloadable content. The N64 Transfer Pak allowed extensive communication with the Pokémon Stadium series with numerous benefits. Though the overworlds weren't that impressive visually, the games really pushed what the Game Boy could do. The music is also extremely impressive, and Pokémon and Trainer sprites were very well made, especially with the animations added by Crystal.
