01Overview

Pokémon Gold, along with Pokémon Silver, are the sequels to Pokémon Red and Blue. They offer 100 new Pokémon to capture and train, 8 more Gyms to take on and a new Pokémon League challenge. Featuring an expanded post-game, Pokémon Gold and Silver additionally offer extra content from the previous entries in the series. The adventure starts in the Johto region, where the player chooses Chikorita, Cyndaquil or Totodile as a first Pokémon. After the Johto Pokémon League, the player can travel to the Kanto region from the earlier games and take on its Gym Leaders as well. The game uses a real-time clock, so day and night and the day of the week affect which Pokémon appear and what events happen. Players can breed Pokémon, give them held items and use the Pokégear as a phone, map and radio. Two new types were added, Dark and Steel. Ho-Oh is the Legendary Pokémon on the Gold cover. Players can trade and battle with other players using a Game Link cable.
