Ahhhh, the nostalgia..... Pokémon Gold and Silver. Possibly the best Pokémon game ever created. It was a huge hit back then, and it's still a very successful title.
After the Pokémon logo will vanish, you will start a new game. You'll see a man, he will introduce himself as Professor Elm, the Pokémon Professor of the Jhoto region. He will ask for the time. It is recommended to give accurate time so that time-based events will occur properly.


==Preparing==
==Controls==
You will require some preparations naturally. We've got some choices to make.
These are the controls for Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal.  
===Your Name===

It may look very trivial, but yes, your name is one thing you have to choose. You may pick your real name, a pre-made name, or invent a cool name of your own. So make up your mind before starting the game to save some game time.{{-}}

==Your Starter Pokémon==
You get to pick the starter in a later stage of the game, but you should start thinking about who you'd like to pick. Generally, for beginners, Cyndaquil is considered the best.

So if you want a defensive Pokémon, Chikorita will be a better choice then this. Totodile will possibly work well on the Dragon-Type gym where he can learn Ice-Type moves.

True, you get to pick the starter in a bit later stage of the game, but you should start thinking about who you'd like to pick.
==Starting the Game==
After the Pokémon logo will vanish, you will start a new game. You'll see a man, he will introduce himself as Professor Elm, the Pokémon Professor of the Jhoto region. He will ask for the time. It is recommended to give accurate time so that time-based events will occur properly. After that, you are asked for your name.
And right after that, it's time for [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/New Bark Town|New Bark Town]].
