Pokémon Gold & Silver (along with Crystal and the HeartGold & SoulSilver remakes) are often called the best games in the series, due to the sheer amount of content that they offer compared to the other Pokémon titles. The second generation of Pokémon games gave you the brand new Johto region to explore, before letting you return to the Kanto region from the first game and seeing how the world had changed since Red had defeated Team Rocket and took on the role of Champion.
