About this product

Product Information

A continuation of Nintendo's successful franchise, Pokémon Gold lets players once again test their skill at becoming the world's greatest Pokémon trainer. For those new to the series, gameplay involves collecting and then fighting creatures called Pokémon while challenging rival trainers for their badges. A secondary goal is to collect the entire roster of 250 Pokémon creatures.<br><br>Players travel from city to city, talking to people, entering buildings, solving puzzles, finding items, and testing their mettle against trainers looking to humiliate them. Winning a fight involves forming a balanced team of Pokémon that can stand up to the opposition. Success finds the creatures growing in experience, learning new abilities, and possibly evolving into more powerful types.<br><br>Pokémon Gold features an internal clock that can influence which Pokémon are available depending on the time played. Also included are special events occurring only on certain days of the week. As in previous titles, players may save at any point during their travels and later continue where they left off. In addition to the clock, new features that distinguish Pokémon Gold from earlier versions are dozens of new Pokémon, two new types (Dark and Steel), a new world to explore, and additional evolutions for older Pokémon. Pokémon can also hold items during combat, and the hero now has access to a map, phone, radio, and more, thanks to the wrist-mounted Pokégear accessory.<br><br>In order to collect all the monsters, players will need to trade with owners of the separate Pokémon Silver. The differences between the two games are negligible, however. Other than the frequency of certain types of Pokémon, both titles play exactly the same and feature identical storylines. Pokémon Gold is backwards compatible with the other versions of the game, meaning players can trade with owners of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow, but the new creatures are exclusive to the Game Boy Color cartridges and cannot be transferred to older versions.

    A nostalgia joy ride

    Perfect quality, and everything works fine. My inner 7 year old self can finally be happy after the day my teacher stole it and never gave it back. Works just like it used to all those years ago. It's like a trip down memory lane with the best generation of Pokemon to exist. Some might have started on Poke'mon Red or Green, but I started here.

    Save does not work

    The game works perfectly fine and was a lot of fun. I put about 2 hours in right away then saved it and went to bed. When I went to continue playing my only option is New Game and I’ve tried multiple times now. Disappointed, now I have to wait for a replacement battery to arrive.

  • Packaging was okay, game would load corrupted a few times. Gave cartridge a good cleaning on contacts and works reliably now

  • A classic from the past, with 251 Pokémon to catch!

    One of the best Pokémon, title recommend by nostalgic gamers to bring back old memories from our childhood. It's the only region of all Pokémon games with 16 gyms instead of the regular 8.

  • Fun Game

    I only got to play the remake, HeartGold, until now. I mainly just wanted a game to hook up to Pokemon Stadium 2 to beat it a bit more easily. They improved a lot between yellow and gold.

  • Pokémon Gold

    The label is a little scuffed up but that's to be expected with older games. 😊 It loads up and plays perfectly, and I got a pretty good deal on it as well. Only paid $21 and I've seen the same game online for $30 or more.

  • Old Game Works Good as New!

    Great cleaning (case looks nice) and replaced battery in game. I've been playing it for 3 weeks and it is still going strong! Thank you!

  • Everything i needed it to be!

    Game is great, reliving my childhood on my original GBC. Building teams to play through the leagues in Pokémon Stadium 2, something i never did when i was younger, but it is only possible with an authentic Nintendo cartridge like these, worth every penny!

    The OG pokemon games are timeless. You can't go wrong. Try to get original hardware to enjoy it.
