Critic Reviews
- Despite these modern hang-ups, the game rightfully takes its place in the annals of gaming history. Pokémon Gold and Silver is a must play for fans and newcomers alike, as the very core of the franchise mechanics still shines through the smaller flaws and archaic game designs. Nostalgia is how Nintendo is marketing Pokémon Gold and Silver, but the strengths of its core design hold up beyond that fleeting nostalgia wave.
Robert Grosso · Oct 04, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - It is worth noting, that the purchase of either game will unlock a Pokémon within the current series. Nintendo states: “as a bonus for purchasing one of these great games for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, Trainers will get a code that unlocks the Mythical Pokémon Celebi in their Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon game. Or, Trainers can hold on to the code and use it in either of the upcoming Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon games when they launch on Nov. 17.”
Scott Jeslis · Oct 02, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Pokémon Gold and Silver are great entries in the Pokémon franchise, but I would argue that every main series Pokémon game has been a great entry in the franchise. All of them bring new things to the table and generally improve the series from the previous entries. Does that make Gold and Silver any less great? No. These games have gone down in history as some of the greatest in the franchise and they deserve to be remembered as such.
Dylan Siegler · Sep 30, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - For anyone looking to try their first Pokemon game, Gold is a great place to start. For those who already have played the game it is certainly worth a second time. The upcoming connection to the PokeBank is an awesome way to add the Generation 2 Pokemon into newer games such as Sun and Moon or the upcoming Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon – especially those you worked so hard to train. All fans of Pokemon should give this game a try.
Heath Shusterman-Zimmerman · Sep 29, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Pokémon Gold and Silver were and still are essentially flawless titles. They may not be for everyone, especially those who haven’t played the older titles, but they’re worth revisiting for nostalgia purposes at the very least. Pokémon fans who’ve grown up on Gold and Silver will love to give it another go. If Gold and Silver were perfect back in the day, they’re even better now.
Jacob Whritenour · Sep 28, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Fans of the originals will be pleased to see how faithfully the games have been emulated and newcomers should find enjoyment in playing through what is perhaps the best value-for-money game the series has to offer. The games feel just as good as they did all those years ago and, based on the pure gameplay, would be receiving praise from critics even if they were being released today. Flip that hat around, let out your signature catchphrase, and grab yourself a copy of one of the finest RPGs around.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
When initially launched on the Game Boy Color system, the Pokémon Gold Version game continued to expand the Pokémon universe, adding 100 Pokémon, held items, Pokémon eggs, and real-time events thanks to an internal game clock. Now a new feature lets you trade and battle Pokémon using local wireless on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems!
