This is one the first two games of generation 2. Pokemon Gold was released along with Pokemon Silver, just like the first generation (Red and Blue) some Pokemons can only be caught in either Gold or Silver, but not both. Pokemon Gold/Silver introduce many upgrades to the Pokemon universe, along with a load of new Pokemons. The first thing you'll notice is that you're not in Kanto anymore, you've got an entirely new region to explore, Johto. And you can choose from new starter Pokemons. But one of the biggest change is that, the game keeps track of the real-world time, and depending on the time of the day, or day of the week, various events will happen, along with a full day/night cycle. Some Pokemons only appear at night, or only on friday, etc.. The Gyms are also completely different from those in Kanto. And once you've beaten the best of Johto, you can revisit Kanto, and all of it's gyms ! If you've played any the 3 first gen Pokemon games, you really need to play either Gold, Silver, or Crystal ! You'll love it !
