Please see Category:Cancelled computer and video games. The description there says the catgories like this are for games cancelled before release. That's why I reverted it. -- WikiSlasher 13:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikibooks claims it has nothing on the subject of Pokemon Gold and Silver (or Red and Blue, etc.), so what happened to 'Wikibooks has more info on the subject of Pokemon Gold and Silver? 169.229.121.94 00:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
They used to, but I believe it was deleted because of some decision that Wikibooks no longer carries video game storylines, or something to that effect. EllipsesBent 01:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

The article states that "another major change from the original series was the splitting of the Special stat into Special Attack and Special Defense. Again, this increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for defense and special defense. For example, Cloyster has a decent Special stat in Red/Blue/Green/Yellow, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense."
Are we certain that the Special stats were actually changed, and not just that the two separate stats always existed in the form of hidden values (which is what I always assumed)? Is there any official source that explicitly states that the Special stats were actually augmented, and not just displayed differently? (When trading between 1st Generation and 2nd Generation versions, you can view the split version of the Special stats of pokemon in the 1st Generation game. And they don't seem to be just automatically assigned values, they differ between individual pokemon of the same species). Radioactive afikomen 04:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't now about other users, but in mine, the Version-specific Pokémon are slightly different in Japanese editions. In Japanese editions the following Pokemon have been interchanged so that they appear correspondingly as follows:
金 (Kin,Gold) Version: |
銀 (Gin,Silver) Version: |
If other players of the Japanese editions also see the same thing as I do, then perhaps this minor variation should be included in the Version-specific Pokémon section?

Something that could be added as a fact is that the cartridge colors for Japanese Gold and Silver versions were alternating, unlike the English versions which had corresponding glitter-containing colors.
The colors of the front/back halves were swapped with each other so that:

Shouldn't Crystal have its own article or at LEAST be mentioned in the title of this article, as Crystal version makes up as much of the article if not more than Silver and Gold version. And Crystal like Pokemon Emerald are considered remakes of previous installments, so Crystal really should have its own set article like Pokemon Emerald does now.

CZMQFRG 09:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Like a lot of people worldwide my Pokémon Gold Version's internal clock battery ran flat deleting the save file. I think this is a fault that should have been corrected or taken into account years ago. CZMQFRG
So, the clock caused the battery to die earlier? Because you know, all batteries die eventually and its ONLY worth mentioning if this game's specific mechanism accelerated the progress. 64.178.102.77 14:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
It's not a fault. Unless you've invented a never-ending battery.... 202.7.202.2 06:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it is definitely a fault and I think it's unacceptable for it not to be rechargeable. Surely the technology was around back then. WikiSlasher 08:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Interestingly enough, although I purchased my Gold Version at launch, the memory was not erased. Silver, however, is another story.
-- Mik 03:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Sadly, my two silver batteries ran out so now they will not save, though i can still play on them at least.-EEVEE103
It's a fault that couldn't have been foreseen. Very few games (if any) in the GBC generation use an internal clock; the fact that it can keep real time when the game is off demonstrates that the clock runs off the battery. In any case, most people's batteries took at least five years to die, and Nintendo couldn't have tested the game for five years before release without knowing of the existence of the problem. Pokemon Crystal also uses a newer battery with a longer life, which is why almost nobody has a dead Crystal. If you trade all your pogeys to another game or Stadium 2, you can then change the battery with a new one from Radio Shack, which undoubtedly has an even longer battery life than the equivalent batteries from half a decade ago.
As for recharging the batteries, someone at SPPf seems to have discovered a method. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=149013 67.54.145.54 19:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Im glad im not the only one that had my games internal battery die... I feel much better now, thankyou, user 67.54.145.54.-EEVEE103
Soldering the battery? [1] Shouldn't that be dangerous, heat plus contact to battery = explosion? My friend did it by carefully sawing the solder off and tape it back together. That is less risky. oh wait that was for removing the battery. -- 88.105.54.35 17:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
So your saying that the battery dying has to do with the internal clock in gold? Because I never heard of red or blue having there batteries die. My blue game is 9 years old and shows no sign of breaking. My gold game is 8 years and it is also still saving as it should. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.110.137.50 ( talk) 01:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm also glad to hear I'm not the only one with a bad battery. One interesting thing to note (at least it's happened to me with Game Boy games) is that the game crashes the first time it's used with a bad battery (either that or my game boy and transfer paks corrupt saves). On color systems, it causes the color pallete to get messed up and eventually crash. However, restart and it will work, but with no save. --Dashwarts 3/29/08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dashwarts ( talk • contribs) 22:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
"In addition, his rival Silver will steal a Pokémon from Professor Elm and become the protagonist's rival, battling the player at certain points in the game to test the player's Pokémon."
Okay, perhaps its just me, but personally, I don't think someone can be a rival before they become one! That's why I chose "the antagonist" to replace "his rival", but then someone could argue against that too! I originally thought of using the word "character", but seen as I didn't know what type of naming people had previously used, I didn't want to use it in case it looked out of place!
T3021 ( talk) 00:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

"The final (hopefully) Game Boy Color edition is definitely the version to get if you aren't already one of the upteenth billion owners of Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold, or Pokemon Silver, with Crystal's slight updates to the design and graphics. But there's not much in this edition that makes it a "must buy" for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions." said Craig Harris of IGN who still gave the game an "outstanding" 9 out of 10. It received an aggregate score of 80% on Game Rankings."
To me, this sounds more like someones comment. and it is written like a comment. Also IGN is someones personal opinion about how something rates to them. Same with Game Rankings.

Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver are coming to Nintendo DS in Japan in Fall 2009. Source: Click Here. 24.196.93.50 ( talk) 03:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
There's one major difference between the HeartGold and SoulSilver section here and FireRed and LeafGreen's section on the Red and Blue page: HG/SS don't have their own article. I agree that having the FR/LG logos on the R/B page would be unnecessary, but this article effectively is the HG/SS article. Once there's enough information for HG/SS to break off to their own article, we can add the logos to that page and remove the logos from this one. - sesuPRIME talk • contribs 01:40, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Sesu. Just as FireRed and LeafGreen had their own article page I suggest we push HeartGold and SoulSilver into their own. The plot is essentially a remake, but everything has been (surely) revamped, and thus should be a consider a different set of games on their own. -- DarkKunai ( talk) 16:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello everyone. CoroCoro Comic just released their new issue, which has six pages of HG/SS info straight from Nintendo. Of course, it's all in Japanese, but fansites like PokéBeach have translations. So are fansites' translations considered reliable? - sesuPRIME talk • contribs 12:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Serebii.net has pre-release pictures of HG and SS, is it possible to use these? Or wait for real pictures?

However, it does show a bias. Having only one box art shows that the editors are biased to that one game. I say that we should have an animated GIF that flips through the two box arts, so that there isn't a bias. 74.97.163.96 ( talk) 21:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
This is the English version of Wikipedia, thus the article should only show the English versions' box arts. 74.97.163.96 ( talk) 21:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC) Also, where are these "rules" that you keep throwing into the discussion? 74.97.163.96 ( talk) 21:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
I really think that an animated GIF would be a bit much considering it's completely unnecessary to demonstrate the box art. I'm sure that 3 boxarts flashing back and forth would get pretty annoying.-- ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 21:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver are coming to Nintendo DS in Japan in Fall 2009. Source: Click Here. 24.196.93.50 ( talk) 03:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
There's one major difference between the HeartGold and SoulSilver section here and FireRed and LeafGreen's section on the Red and Blue page: HG/SS don't have their own article. I agree that having the FR/LG logos on the R/B page would be unnecessary, but this article effectively is the HG/SS article. Once there's enough information for HG/SS to break off to their own article, we can add the logos to that page and remove the logos from this one. - sesuPRIME talk • contribs 01:40, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Sesu. Just as FireRed and LeafGreen had their own article page I suggest we push HeartGold and SoulSilver into their own. The plot is essentially a remake, but everything has been (surely) revamped, and thus should be a consider a different set of games on their own. -- DarkKunai ( talk) 16:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello everyone. CoroCoro Comic just released their new issue, which has six pages of HG/SS info straight from Nintendo. Of course, it's all in Japanese, but fansites like PokéBeach have translations. So are fansites' translations considered reliable? - sesuPRIME talk • contribs 12:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Serebii.net has pre-release pictures of HG and SS, is it possible to use these? Or wait for real pictures? Serebii.net also predicts that Pokemon HG and SS will hit the US in 2010 (Well that would be the good choice for the US as that would be the 10th anniversary for the US, in October.) 24.196.93.50 ( talk) 03:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Pokémon Sunday, an official source, aired gameplay footage of HG/SS, so can't we add stills from the video? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.10.48.115 ( talk) 02:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
As for a credible source why not use Corocoro?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.156.178.69 ( talk) 18:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't all four boxshots be shown like what is at this URL?- http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/388/goldheartgoldsilversoul.jpg 96.253.2.126 ( talk) 15:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
However, it does show a bias. Having only one box art shows that the editors are biased to that one game. I say that we should have an animated GIF that flips through the two box arts, so that there isn't a bias. 74.97.163.96 ( talk) 21:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
This is the English version of Wikipedia, thus the article should only show the English versions' box arts. 74.97.163.96 ( talk) 21:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC) Also, where are these "rules" that you keep throwing into the discussion? 74.97.163.96 ( talk) 21:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
I really think that an animated GIF would be a bit much considering it's completely unnecessary to demonstrate the box art. I'm sure that 3 boxarts flashing back and forth would get pretty annoying.-- ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 21:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Should HG and SS have their own article like Leafgreen and Firered do? AjaaniSherisu ( talk) 23:45, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
You can see the American site of HeartGold and SoulSilver here. It will be released Spring 2010 in America. Blubbermarble ( talk) 18:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
This text: Currently, Nintendo has no plans to remake Gold & Silver. However, there have been a certain number of clues in Diamond & Pearl as well as even the anime hinting out to a possible remake. FYI: Wikipedia runs on verifiability and reliable sources. If you can find neither, don't put it here. See also: NPOV -Motley a b c qu 06:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
It is stated in the article that the rival in this game is Giovanni's son... where did you get this information from? There are no sources attached to it and it is (definately) not stated in the game itself.

It was confirmed in a HeartGold & Soulsilver event that Silver is Giovanni's son.-- Misavvy ( talk) 21:23, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
The article needs information on the South Korean release (April 26, 2002), which is notable since these Pokémon games were the only ones officially released in South Korea prior to Nintendo opening its branch there in 2006. 77.54.108.165 ( talk) 13:56, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I hadn't realised that it already said that Dark is strong against Psychic. But I think the bit about new strategies could go in. Riveronthemountains ( talk) 16:56, 11 June 2018 (UTC) river
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Pokemon/Metallics. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:11, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
I'm all for notable pieces of video game content, but there is nothing about this article that cannot be explained in a section of Gold and Silver (which isn't even that long an article). This article isn't even about specific Pokemon, but variations of those Pokemon from a beta version of the game. It's a cool look at what could have been, but still trivia.
