These critically acclaimed games, later released in the West and Europe, introduced a groundbreaking in-game clock affecting Pokémon appearances and events. The introduction of 100 new Pokémon (Gen 2) including Pichu, Cleffa, Hoothoot, Chikorita, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, and Lugia, cemented their place in Pokémon history. A decade later, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver brought a remastered experience to the Nintendo DS.
