Game Boy Color · Released 1999
Generation II added held items and 100 new species. Through the Time Capsule it can trade two-way with Generation I, but only with the original 151 species carrying Gen I-legal moves. Like Gen I, it hits the hardware wall and cannot move forward to Gen III.

Gold and Silver were among the first games with a real-time internal clock, introducing day and night - a feature lost on transfer to Gen I.
