Pokemon Gold
ROM download for Delta Emulator iOS · Johto region, day/night cycle, breeding, and a full Kanto postgame
About
Pokemon Gold introduced the Johto region and set a template the series still leans on today — a real-time day/night cycle that changes which Pokemon appear and when certain trades and events trigger, breeding at the Day Care for the first time, and a second type slot for held items that opened up new strategies for existing Pokemon.
Gold's version mascot is Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokemon, tied to a storyline involving the villainous Team Rocket's attempt to rebuild after their defeat in Kanto. What sets Gold and Silver apart from every Pokemon game before or since is the postgame: after the Johto League, the game opens up the entire original Kanto region for a second adventure, all the way to a rematch with the trainer from Red and Blue at the top of Mt. Silver.
