The second generation (generation II) of the Pokémon franchise features 100 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the Game Boy Color games Pokémon Gold and Silver. The generation was unveiled at the beginning of the Nintendo Space World '97 event. Gold and Silver were first released on November 21, 1999, in Japan.
The games are set in the Johto region, which is based on the real-world Kansai region of Japan. Due to the games acting as a sequel to the first generation of the franchise, the Pokémon designs of the second generation share a strong association with those from the first. Some Pokémon in this generation were introduced in animated adaptations of the franchise before Gold and Silver were released. The games also introduced several new types of Pokémon, introducing the elemental types Dark and Steel, a subset of Pokémon called "Baby Pokémon", and differently colored versions of Pokémon called Shiny Pokémon.
The following list details the 100 Pokémon of the second generation in order of their in-game "Pokédex" index order. Alternate forms introduced in subsequent games in the series, such as Mega Evolutions and regional variants, are included on the pages for the generation in which the specific form was introduced.
