>>13222477Breeding ¿ the Pokémon can now procreate, which means that every Pokémon (with the exception of Ditto) has a gender, whether it's male or female. Breeding is important and useful, for not only does it give you more Pokémon to train or trade, it's also necessary if you want to find all the Pokémon in the game ¿ a few Pokémon can only be obtained through Pokémon breeding.
The graphics have been upgraded in its colors ¿ the quest portions of the game look nearly identical to the previous edition of Pokémon, but on the Game Boy Color the engine is a lot more colorful and vibrant. It doesn't look washed out anymore. In battles, the creatures have more detailed animations and special effects during special moves, but all in all the game engine in Pokémon Gold and Silver is just an upgrade from the Red/Blue/Yellow versions. That's not a bad thing ¿ but don't expect to be floored by the looks of the game.
Items can now be attached to the Select Button (like a bicycle for faster movement), special Pokémon HM moves (like Flash, Headbutt, or Cut) can be performed automatically without a menu selection, fun stuff can be transmitted between systems through the infrared port...and there are just so much more little things to discover. Yes, there's a disease that the Pokémon can catch and spread to other Pokémon, and other systems through the link cable. There are different colored Pokémon. There are little gambling minigames. There's even two new Pokémon types in Gold and Silver. The cartridge is just stuffed with all sorts of good items.
