Answer: Pokemon

The games in the 'Pokemon' series are divided into generations, and each generation usually contains games for one particular gaming system. Generation II games included 'Gold', 'Silver', and 'Crystal' for the Game Boy Color, and added over 100 new Pokemon to the existing 151 introduced in Generation I, including the ovine Mareep and Flaaffy.

In the games, Pokemon gain experience during battles, and will evolve into a new Pokemon when they reach certain levels of experience. Mareep evolves into Flaaffy when it reaches level 15. Flaaffy then evolves into Ampharos at level 30, but Ampharos does not resemble a sheep as much as its previous forms do.
