 Yet another installment in the Pokemon series. April 6, 2008
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.

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.

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... May 25, 2007
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.

When I originally played this game, I also had Pokemon 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 Pokedex 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 Pokeballs, 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.
