What is the best starter in Gold and Silver?

Cyndaquil is the safest pick. Typhlosion has good Speed and Sp. Atk, and Fire coverage is hard to find early. Totodile hits hard physically but suffers from the Gen 2 issue: Water is a special type, so its Attack stat doesn't apply to STAB moves. Chikorita is the weakest start by far, since Grass is resisted by most early gyms.

What new types were added in Gen 2?

Dark and Steel. Dark type finally gives Psychic a real weakness and counter. Steel resists almost everything and tanks hits. Umbreon and Tyranitar are the standout Dark types. Steelix and Scizor make Steel immediately relevant.

What generation is Pokemon Gold and Silver?

Generation 2, released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 in North America for the Game Boy Color. Added breeding, held items, a day/night cycle, two new types (Dark and Steel), and split the Special stat into Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.

Can you go to Kanto in Gold and Silver?

Yes. After beating the Johto Elite Four, the entire Kanto region opens up with 8 more gym leaders to challenge. It's the same map from Red and Blue, updated for Gen 2. Clearing all 16 badges unlocks the fight against Red on Mt. Silver.

Pokemon Gold & Silver Pokedex - All 251 Gen 2 Pokemon

ALL GOLD & SILVER POKEMON

Gold and Silver's Pokedex covers 251 Pokemon across the Johto and Kanto regions. Gen 2 split the old Special stat into Sp. Atk and Sp. Def, added Dark and Steel types to counter Psychic, and introduced breeding and held items. The time-of-day system means some Pokemon only appear at night or during the morning. Use the filters to browse by type, generation, or stats.

How to access additional Pokemon in Gold & Silver

Gold and Silver cover 251 Pokemon across two full regions. Beat the Elite Four and you'll board the S.S. Aqua to Kanto, where most Gen 1 species show up in the wild. That second region isn't just postgame filler. It's how you access a big chunk of the dex.

Time of day matters. Some Pokemon only appear at night (Hoothoot, Spinarak in Gold), others in the morning. Breeding at the Day Care on Route 34 is the only way to get baby Pokemon like Pichu, Cleffa, and Magby. Version exclusives still require trading with the opposite game.
