Yet another installment in the Pokemon series. 
2008-04-06
I won't bother saying what is fun about Pokemon for obvious reasons. I will try and sum up why this is different than the previous ones. There are many new Pokemon added, and this is before the new Pokemon get stupid and unimaginative like in future versions. There's a whole new storyline and character set. The graphics are by far the best in the series so far. The sound/music is still lackluster. The only thing really holding the game back at all is the feeling that they only made it to make some money. This is probably the last game in the series before it converts completely into the "make the game and cash in" stage. The "cash in" stage lasts until Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the first original ones since, well, Gold and Silver.
Pokemon Gold 2008-03-11
It's a fun game to own and play along with it's counterpart,Pokemon Silver. Only certain aspects of game play are negatives such as the time aspect and daily events as well as having to chase the legendary pokemon unlike in Pokemon Red and Blue. Missing certain events and having to wait literally a week sometimes to return to them is slightly annoying as is having to capture certain pokemon during specific times of day as they are in some cases specifically nocturnal or their percent in a given area is extremely low. Other than these things the game plays very well and the improvement to color from just a plain solid red or blue color is great. Seeing each pokemon in their given coloration is really nice. The added new types and moves are also a plus. Overall a well worth buy for a Pokemon fan.
The BEST Pokemon Game Ever! 
2008-01-22
This game rocks and the same goes for Silver and Crystal. I wish I had not traded off my copies at GameStop, but I also hear the batteries in the old cartridges are dying. Come on Nintendo, you remade Red & Green/Blue, now just give us a Gold/Silver remake instead of junk like Pokemon Ranger 49.
hmmm...

a great fun game except for the save problem. When u by these games used the cartridges have a limited amount or no save memory at all because of the they were made a long time back. i got this game used off of amazon but my files would not save. i called eb games about it and they said that the save memory for these gameboy games lasts about six or 7 years.he suggested i keep my gameboy on till i beat it which kinda sux. just giving u a heads up . i only have one gameboy and wanted to play other games to. this might also affect my gameboy.
One to be played in Retro-vision 2007-02-23
When I originally played this game, I also had Pokémon Blue, and I was focused mainly on the 'primary goal' of "Gotta Catch 'Em All". The new features of Breeding to get eggs to hatch, and finding certain monsters at certain times of the day, were, at the time, only tools to that end. (Call me a "Team Rocket Grunt"... if you dare.). But after playing P.Ruby and P.Sapphire I realize how much more skill is needed in staying up until Midnight, turning on the game, looking for a Gastly at 'Nite'... and not hide under the blanket with a flashlight; or catching a Pikachu to raise and have it raise a Pichu family of offspring...
Visually, P.Gold is "twice-as-good" as Red/Blue/Yellow, in part to it being wholly designed for the Gameboy Color (and yes, the Gameboy Advance can play it too). The Pokédex Encyclopidia animations are nice, too. And for those that notice: The introductions of a Secret Base of sorts- with Record Mixing, decorating your room, more involvement of the Professor in your training, more specialized Pokéballs, plant tending, and more of an after-Elite Four storyline.
The biggest draw back in the storyline, though, is effectivly dropping the originally unnamed land of Kanto to the background with not as much to do beside fighting the older Gym Leaders.
This is One of the Better Games 2006-11-24
POKÉMON GOLD offers another game for fans of the popular Pokémon characters, and the list of features is almost overwhelming. Explore a world with more than 250 Pokémon! The game keeps track of the time via an internal clock, and some Pokémon will only come out during certain times of the day, which means you will quite literally have to get up early in the morning to find them all. Also new to POKÉMON GOLD is Pokémon breeding. Youve heard of Pikachu, but have you heard of Pichu? The PokeGear adds a more streamlined interface for an even greater RPG experience. As in the past games, link up with a friend, rival, or fellow trainer to trade or battle Pokémon. You can link up to your previous version of POKÉMON RED or BLUE or YELLOW to bring all of your favorite Pokémon into the new game. This version of the game includes Pokémon found only in POKÉMON GOLD
Easily the best Pokemon game out there! 2006-11-24
Pokemon Gold version is easily the best Pokemon game, even though its graphics just don't match up to Ruby and Sapphire. A majority of the cons in the Red and Blue versions have been fixed. For instance, the graphics have been improved and are no longer just one color. You also have the ability to set some items, such as the bike, on select, so that you don't have to open up your backback ever time (they also made the backpack with additional pockets to keep the Pokeballs, keyitems, and items seperated). The game is so addicting and different from the other Pokemon games, such as how it changes from day to night, enabling you to capture different Pokemon, depening on the time. Training your Pokemon, in my opinion, is a lot more fun in this game then in Red version, maybe because the graphics and animation have been improved. You can easily play this game for hours, and even after you defeat the Elite Four, it still doesn't become boring because you can travel to Kanto afterwards! However, after I finished the game and raised a couple of my Pokemon up to level 100, the game corrupted! I don't know if I'm the only one this has happened to, so I'm not sure if I should get another one (when it corrupted, I didn't just lose my game-the game broke, to)! All in all, however, I would reccomend this game to anyone that enjoys role-playing games!
amazingness 2006-11-08
wow, this game...wat can a kid say. Pokemon has topped its red and blue and yellow versions, if not then gold and silver are on par with them. these games are so much fun. personally i play them on a gameboy pocket, Nostalgic perposes, but occasionally i play it on a gameboy color, the colors are amazing and its got a great story, and great glitches (hint hint) anyway just have fun with it
I LOVE THIS GAME! 2006-10-30
I am a 13 year old girl and I loved this game when I was little. I played it all the time and was totally obsessed. The game-play and graphics were an improvement from Red, Blue, and Yellow. The new Johto Pokemon were cute (and still are!) and there is barely any bad things about this game at all. I played this game until I had 3 level 100 Pokemon and I had almost filled my Pokedex. It can last you for hours on end without even getting bored of it! There is only a couple problems with this game. I didn't do anything to my Gold version at all (such as using the Game Shark or looking for Missing No.) but once when I turned on my game, it said "Save File Corrupted" and my whole game was gone and all my Pokemon were gone and everything! I still haven't quite figured out why this happened, but I was upset because I loved that game a lot. I didn't want to bother starting over because I'd never get as far as before and I had some new Pokemon games I could play, but I will never forget how fun this game was. Another problem was that you couldn't be a girl in it, but that's okay.
Even though this is an older game, I still reccommend it to anyone!
The only game where you can get 20 Ho-Ohs 2006-08-15
If you are wondering what my title means I`ll tell you: I learned a sweet Pokemon copying secret where you store a Pokemon that you want to copy then instantly change to an empty box and as its saving turn off. When you turn the game back on you`ll have the pokemon in your party and your PC (but make sure you save afterwards). That`s how I got 10 Typhlosions!
