Pokemon Gold and Silver are continuations of Green, Yellow, Red, Blue. In these versions
you will have a new places to explore, and there will be over 250 Pokemon. You can
still swap the Gold and Silver Pokemon with Red/Blue cartridges, however, the new
Pokemon won't work in the Red/Blue cartridge. For example, there is an evolved form of
Slowbro in the Gold game. If you trade it to a Blue cartridge, it would be a Slowbro
instead of the evolved form. It gets "downgraded."
There will also be different sexes for each Pokemon, like the Nidoran from Red/Blue. This
means breeding! You can also cross breed and produce variations. Another new feature is
the concept of time. The game will have a timer so there will be nocturnal Pokemon who
are only active during the night and you probably have to wait for some pokemon to wake
up...... now that's cool! There will also be a skateboard now as a mode of transportation.
Nintendo is also taking the time to make this game in of color to take advantage of the
Gameboy Color.
