Amazon.com Review:
Featuring a new adventure that's filled with numerous enhancements andinnovations, this long-awaited sequel to Pokémon Red, Blue,and Yellow greatly improves upon the series' winning formula, and makesfor an even more insanely addictive and wholly absorbing gaming experience.
Like Pokémon Silver--which essentially is the same story, withminor gameplay variations--Pokémon Gold casts players in thefamiliar role of a young Pokémon Trainer who's out to collect as manydifferent kinds of Pokémon as possible. As in previous games, gameplayconsists mostly of exploration (completing various quests in the process) andPokémon battles, which employ a unique battle system that's like acomplex twist on rock-paper-scissors.
But, despite the similarities, it's quite apparent that PokémonGold is a whole new ball game from the start. The game is played out in realtime, 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'llfind in the wild, and when certain events occur and characters appear.
While there are too many new and improved features in Pokémon Goldto list here, among the highlights are 100 new Pokémon (including two newtypes), new evolution processes (including breeding), and a more streamlinedgame interface that has better-organized menus and button shortcuts.
Although it's easier to progress in Pokémon Gold than in theprevious games, the sheer amount of fun and game time that's involved isdaunting. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better value than this one. --JoeHon

Rating:  - 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: - 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:  - 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.

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 itwhich kinda sux. just giving u a heads up . i only have one gameboy and wanted to play other games ...

Rating: - One to be played in Retro-vision
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 ... Read More
