Product Description:
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

Amazon.com Review:
Featuring a new adventure that's filled with numerous enhancements and innovations, this long-awaited sequel to Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow greatly improves upon the series' winning formula, and makes for an even more insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience.

Like Pokémon Silver--which essentially is the same story, with minor gameplay variations--Pokémon Gold casts players in the familiar role of a young Pokémon Trainer who's out to collect as many different kinds of Pokémon as possible. As in previous games, gameplay consists mostly of exploration (completing various quests in the process) and Pokémon battles, which employ a unique battle system that's like a complex twist on rock-paper-scissors.

But, despite the similarities, it's quite apparent that Pokémon Gold is a whole new ball game from the start. The game is played out in real time, with the current time and day of the week (recorded by an internal clock) having a direct impact on gameplay elements, such as what Pokémon you'll find in the wild, and when certain events occur and characters appear.

While there are too many new and improved features in Pokémon Gold to list here, among the highlights are 100 new Pokémon (including two new types), new evolution processes (including breeding), and a more streamlined game interface that has better-organized menus and button shortcuts.

Although it's easier to progress in Pokémon Gold than in the previous games, the sheer amount of fun and game time that's involved is daunting. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better value than this one. --Joe Hon

Pros:
  • Insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience
  • Time and day of week impact gameplay directly
  • Bevy of new features and hidden secrets
  • Improved graphics and more streamlined game interface
Cons:
  • Minor compatibility issues when using Game Link with previous versions

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My son LOVES it!!
Great game!! My son plays it all the time, thank god it saves so he can turn it off at night. He had one prior to this one and it stoped saving the game. He spent his allowance on one from Recycled Games and this one saves everytime. It's hard to find them in great shape with the 'save game' still working since it's not made new anymore. Best money he ever spent, so far anyway... he's only 7. :)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good as gold!
pokemon gold is a great game, and according to the pokemon company it and silver are the third best game made by them! this is one of the only games that allows johto region pokemon and lets you get ho-oh, lugia, and celebi without an action replay or game shark. you cal also catch all three legendary dogs (Raikou, suicune, and entei) in the game. it is challenging but not impossible, and you are allowed to have a pokegear. it is like a pokenav off of emerald but better because it has music and ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Yet another installment in the Pokemon series.
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 ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pokemon Gold
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 ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The BEST Pokemon Game Ever!
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.
