A young boy from New Bark Town in the Johto region is setting out on his Pokémon adventure. He is asked to collect a strange egg by the local Pokémon expert, professor Elm, and gives him his very own Pokémon to take with him.
The Johto region is home to 100 new Pokémon, new gym leaders, and new Pokémon attacks. Pokémon can also hold items to assist them in or out of battle. There are also two new Pokémon Types: Steel and Dark.
You can battle and trade with other players using a GB Link Cable, trade with Pokémon Red, Green & Blue using the Time Capsule, or use the GBC infra-red function to earn items for your room.

The phrase "A Winner Is You!" was a piece of bad English that originally appeared in Pro Wrestling on the NES that later became an internet meme.
Earl Dervish of the Pokémon Academy speaks in broken English. At one point he asks:
"Want to be a winner is you?"
