Hardware Description
Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS (Japanese: ポケットピカチュウカラー 金・銀といっしょ! Pocket Pikachu Color! Gold & Silver Together!), known as the Pokémon Pikachu Color in Europe, is a step counter and virtual pet toy.
It was released on November 21, 1999 in Japan, October 16, 2000 in the United States, and 2000 in Europe. It can communicate with Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal via infrared using the Mystery Gift function; the player can send watts accumulated by walking, which are then converted into items. The virtual pet toy is a sequel to the Pokémon Pikachu, which was released in 1998.
Unlike the original Pokémon Pikachu, the user does not have to take care of Pikachu. Pikachu cares for itself. At different times of the day, Pikachu performs different daily tasks, such as eating an apple, brushing its teeth, taking a shower, sleeping, exercising, etc.
It is designed to look like a Game Boy Color. The Japanese version normally has a clear case, but blue, gold, silver and clear blue were also available as limited edition models. It also played as the inspiration for the Pokéwalker, which comes bundled with HeartGold and SoulSilver.
There is a basic continue feature that will retain the current watts, steps and friendship level when the CR2032 battery is replaced quickly enough.
