Authentic Pokemon Game (Cartridge Only)
Pokemon Gold Version – Gameboy Color Game

Pokemon Gold for Gameboy Color takes place several years after Red, Blue and Yellow, and puts the user into a brand new world, Johto. The gameplay is very similar to the previous games but with many improvements. These include new functions for the player’s Pokegear, a Pokedex that can now be sorted by evolution type and of course, many new Pokemon to catch and train! The objective of the game is to become the champion trainer, and try to complete the Pokedex. To become the champion, the player battles Gym Leaders to obtain various badges. Completing the Pokedex requires a different set of actions, and involves capturing wild Pokemon, battling various trainers to obtain money, and trading Pokemon with NPC’s and other players of Pokemon games.

Very Wise Purchase
This game sure is a classic, and still one of my favorite games from the Pokemon series. Not only was the game working perfectly when it arrived, but the seller also put in a new battery to make sure the saving function will last for a very long time again. This is a must for these GameBoy cartridges nowadays since by now many of the batteries in them are either dead or close to being dead. If you still have your GameBoy Color around and need an extra game for it, this game would be a wise purchase. Just be sure if the battery inside it is dead or not, if it is dead, replacing it isn't too difficult.

Nice Cart
The one I received was clean and did not have writing on it or stickers. That's something that is almost impossible to find anymore. The downside was the save battery was dead. That is something that you might want to expect buying these games now. I'm fine with that because they were clear that it was untested plus it is very easy to replace a GBC save battery. Finding a cart with a good label, no writing, and no stickers is what you should keep in mind when getting these now. That's something you cannot replace.

Pokemon gold is kool for me
I never played pokemon, or never wanted to, but when i asked a freind what games to get for a gameboy color, he said this. So far its great. the first part is easy, but right now im stuck. i think i could be pretty good someday. the graphics are awsome for such an old game! and i love the gameplay and the way you battle! its so simple! in short, awsome gameboy game!

Awesome game, awesome color, awesome playing!
Bet you thought you were cool then you had Blue, Red, or Yellow, right? They are NOTHING compared to Gold (or Silver).The color grahics in Gold are so much better that any of the others; you'll realize this as soon as you play Gold (or Silver) after playing any of the others. There is a whole new world with eight new cities and very cool gym leaders to defeat and badges to earn.Also, say goodbye to Ash, baby. There is a brand new character for you to play, although you see Ash later in your travels. There's new PokeGear, new Pokemon to catch, and new battle animations. Best part is the new experience meter on battle screens to show how high your Pokemon is on his level - a MUST needed items. The Pokecenters are even bette rthan before as well.If you are a Pokemon fan, or just like game boy games, add this one to your arsenal!

Pokemon Gold for GameBoy
I ordered this game for my son. It arrived sooner than we thought. While it was used, it was in great condition. My son played it as soon as it was out of the package, which was very secure, and has been playing it since.If he needs another game or such, we will shop for it on Amazon.com first. Overall, this was a good online shopping experience for us. I'd recommend it to others.Thank you.Denise Cochran

Generation 2, still number 1
Though the world expanded in this second installment, and as resistant to change as I am- I was overjoyed to find that the same storyline idea was followed, with the usual trials and wide array of new Pokemon only adding to the experience. This franchise will always hold a place in my life, especially these earlier generations.

Exactly what I wanted. Saves, time occurs, and cheap
I recently became a bit of a collector when it comes to vintage Pokemon games, and forewarning for anyone looking to follow in my footsteps (THERES A LOT OF FAKES OUT THERE) this site charged me 20 bucks including first class shipping, the review does not say functioning battery, so I was admittedly a little nervous and maybe a little naive to have purchased it regardless of thatWhat I received was a fantastic looking cartridge, very obvious cleaning done prior to the sale, and the game saves and time still occurs, thank you very much for just being an honest company. I will be purchasing the final few games I need to complete my childhood from this company

Pokemon Used
I bought this game used in hopes of bringing back some nostalgia since I was fairly young when the 'Poke-boom' was in effect back in 1999. The game worked great, sound was perfect, graphics never aged a year but one thing that took away that experience was the Save Function.The battery for the save function inside the cartridge ran out of power, therefore it never let me save my game.If you are wanting to buy this game used, make sure to buy a screwdriver to open GameBoy cartridges & a watch battery to fix the issue.

They had me remove my first opinion
I bought this game for my hubby and when we received this game it was great, but would not save. I was told I would get a new one, I did, my money back; I have not. And extra money returned for the inconvenience; I have not. So I'm posting this to warn everyone else: you buy this game and it doesn't work, well you're s.o.l. It's not gonna get fixed.

Wonderful game!
A lovely follow-up to Red, Blue,and Yellow. Some game mechanics have changed for the better and others for the worse, but overall this is a step up from the original games. Major improvements include a pack with compartments rather than a single pack for all items; the ability to choose one item to use by just pressing Select (I recommend using the bicycle for that); being able to use an HM move outside of battle by pressing A; and being able to earn money postgame. Some drawbacks include the absence of the Pokeflute; no access to the Safari Zone; and the shorter battery life (7 years for GSC vs. 15 years for RBY, due to the internal clock function). Also is quite annoying to try to catch the legendary beasts. All in all, though, a brilliant game.

Excellent Classic Game
Never played a Pokémon game before, and this game was very fun to play. It was easy to learn what all to do. It has a good length to it, as in it's a game you won't finish in 1 day. Took me a good month with average playing. Maybe longer. This game is certainly worth the money.

the battery is easy to replace if you are careful
Would have given five stars, but had to replace save battery. For the price, and condition advertised, I would have expected a working cart. No big deal I suppose, the battery is easy to replace if you are careful. The plus side is, the cart is authentic, and the label, and connections are like new.

Original Game, happy customer
An original copy of Pokemon Gold version, in dang near perfect condition, I am happy. Only thing that bugs me is the front lid on the cartridge itself will not stay in place, because the tiny screw to keep the two lids, and fragile game chip inside, is missing...I don't know if it was already like that before sending, or if someone forgot to put the screw back in upon cleaning and inspection...but I'm a bit bummed I'll be having to use some sort of tape to keep the lid on. Overall, would definitely purchase from this seller again.

A Timeless Classic
If you are a Pokemon fan like myself, you may find yourself cringing at some of the more recent developments in the franchise and wistfully yearning for the feel and glorious story line of some of the older games. If so, this product is definitely for you! I received the product in a timely fashion and it arrived in as good a condition as one can hope from a used game (probably better). If you're on the fence about purchasing this item, I would definitely recommend it.

Huge fan of pokemon and what I got here is now fueling the fire. I got it with a new battery, at a relatively cheap price, and it looks amazing. And to top it all off, they said it would have light cosmetic wear, but no wear what so ever was found. Definitely 5/5!

warning.
the game came fine, and it worked as well as it should. but one problem. it would'nt hold a save file. and i tried to email the seller, but no response. that's right seller had no time for his customers. to be fair though, it was not really his fault that the game did not function fully, i found out later that these old gameboy color pokemon games hold a save as long as they have a running battery. so if you plan on buying a pokemon silver gold or crystal, you will also have to buy a nintendo screwdriver and a new CR2025 or CR2032 battery. so the product came as well as such an old game could come. but the main reason im not satisfied is because the seller in question did not respond to my emails. clearly has no time for his customers.

This version of gold has a small watch battery that may need to be replaced if your save data is not working. I had to replace mine and it wasn't too hard once you get the cartridge open, I ended up melting the plastic part of a balled point pen to unscrew it and it worked great!

The true 2nd generation experience!
This is an awesome game! I got Pokemon Silver for Christmas last year & decided to buy this to go along with it. I didn't play either of them yet & I deleted their save files. But I played Gold & Silver as a kid on the way to school. (The bus had some GameBoy Colors & Advance SPs.) & I decided to buy this for my own. Now I can play this anytime anywhere! The only complaint I have with Gold & Silver however, is the fact taht it has a save battery, meaning if it dies, you lose your save file. Other than that, great game. Not one to miss.

The game couldn't save when I was playing it. I replaced the battery and it plays brand new. All i needed was a game bit screw driver, a Flathead screw driver to pry out the bottom and top arms on the battery without breaking the arms, a CR2025 battery to replace the old battery, pliers for the arms to make contact with the battery, and electrical tape to hold the new battery in place,

Price was more than reasonable, Im not expecting a tip top shape product but none the less the price is firm. I was about 11 yrs old when Pokemon first came out and I fell in love with the show, then I went from the show to Pokemon cards and then the gameboy color.

...Hooray!!!...?
Didn't save, and I realized this after my brother got to Violet City. Though I was expecting for it to not save, I installed the battery and then it was able to save his adventures. Though, at one point, the game malfunctioned and he made the terrible decision to save in a glitchy state and he lost his Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Feraligatr... It was a goft from me to him, I was going to go through Gold to find all the Pokemon I couldn't find in Silver, but he wanted my 2nd Pokemon Silver copy, so I killed two birds with one stone and gave him Gold.

GAME BOY Color Pokémon Cartridge - Collectors version.
I paid top price for this original GAME BOY Color Pokémon Cartridge $273.27. This is game that is no longer manufactured, and made only for the GAME BOY Color unit. The game cartridge has a battery in the unit, that maintains the memory for the games history. after about 10 years in use or not the battery needs to be replaced. Replacing the battery requires special screwdriver andbattery available thru AMAZON.COM, costing about 6-10 dollars. depending on what models you choose. the replacement procedure is easy, and requires a soldering iron, solder sucker. This game was purchased as a Birthday Gift for our daughter, 13 Years of age. I would have no problem recommending this to anyone else who might have the early game as there are many cartridges available at reasonable prices under 20 or 30 dollars. We purchased the gold collectors cartridge as it is just that a collectors item.

At first I tried the game in my game boy color, and it didn't work. I saw the GameBoy logo and nothing happened. After cleaning the contacts the game then worked just fine. I have not tested the battery yet, the game is a Christmas gift for my son who wanted it, so will wait to see if he is able to save it. As of right now I am happy with the purchase. Only taking off one star due to the fact I had to clean the contacts for it to work.
