NEWS: GOLD/SILVER VERSION
11/27 Thanks to Cccr81@aol.com, here are some info on the game.
Features New creatures including Hoo-Hoo, Napil, Rediba, and Elekid. New items including the Pokegear Real-time RPG using internal clock Game Boy Printer support For Game Boy and Game Boy Color Pokémon Gold/Silver is not just a tweaked version of Pokémon Red and Blue with new creatures there are new features to this adventure. All Pokémon in the game will be assigned a gender, either male or female. When you breed a male and female Pokémon, it will net an egg which Pokémon you've bred will affect how the Pokémon grows, as well as what abilities and attacks it will have as it gains experience in battle. Pokémon can also utilize weapons and items that you've acquired during the adventure. Along with the Pokedex, the main character will have a new item called the Pokegear,a device that combines the function of a counter, data organizer, cellular phone and radio together into one unit. With the Pokegear, you'll be able to record the phone number of different characters and communicate with them anywhere in the world, or use the radio function to listen to the special Pokémon lectures from the Professor Oak. You can also change the music during the adventure with the Pokegear. One of the coolest features, though, is the fact that the game will be real-time. At the beginning of the game, you'll set the internal clock, and as you play the game, the day will turn to night and night into day at the appropriate times. The game will also have real-time events based on the battery-backed clock meaning you'll have to complete the event before the specified time. Like Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon Gold and Silver will restrict which Pokémon you can capture. Pokémon Gold will have creatures that you cannot capture in Pokémon Silver, and vice versa. The only way you'll catch them all is if you trade between the two versions. You can also trade with players with Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, but those gamers cannot trade for the newer creatures in Pokémon Gold and Silver. You get to choose to do the game as a girl or a boy.
