Pokemon Gold was first released in 1999 in Japan and a little later in the rest of the world and which makes it already about 20 years old! The game appeared on the GameBoy Color and still attracts a large number of gamers that are still playing Pokemon Gold now. Along with Pokemon Silver, Pokemon Gold is the first installment of the second generation of Pokemon and introduced a number of new Pokemon into the game. Pokemon Gold is a fantastic RPG which can be enjoyed with or without cheats, and one these pages you'll find both Pokemon Gold cheats and Pokemon Gold tips which we hope you will find both fun and useful.
Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal are also being kept alive on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console where all three games have been re-released and enjoyed again by former players and new gamers alike.
Pokemon Gold Cheats
Thanks to codes which dig into the program code of the game and alter things, Pokemon Gold Cheats are easily entered on both the original cartridge, if you have a GameShark device, or via the cheat menu of most good GameBoy Color emulators. For example, the MyOldBoy which is widely available for Android.
Pokemon Gold cheats are easily entered, you just have to go to the cheat menu, enter the cheat and then activate it. We always recommend that you save your progress in the game BEFORE you activate any cheat, and only save your game again once you are certain the game is still working as it should.
We also recommend that you only use one cheat at a time, and when you are finished with the cheat, remember to deactivate it before carrying on.

How to Clone Pokemon It's possible to clone Pokemon in Pokemon Gold without entering any cheat code, and is best used in the ORIGNAL cartridge verison of the game. To do this put two Pokemon in your party. Switch to an empty box in your PC. Put the Pokemon that you want to clone in the empty box. When you switch, it will save the game. About a half second after the phrase,'Saving...do not turn off power,' switch off your game. When you turn it on,you will have the cloned Pokemon in your box and your party.
Also, whatever item your Pokemon is holding will also be cloned. So if he has a master ball, then your cloned Pokemon will also have a master ball!

Just a hint on where to find the Shiny ones!!!
Yes, it is a 1% possibility to find a rare different-colored Pokemon in this game, but these are just clues on where you most likely find them (I'm not telling you to stay there and search and search until you die since you will be so sure that they will appear in there).
1. Green Tentacool I found it inside the cave at the right of Azalea Town, although my brother saw it in the pond of the day care center. During my second game, i found it while surfing on my way to Victory Road. My cousin caught it in cianwood town. SO IT'S NOT SURE WHERE THEY REALLY APPEAR.
2. Red Donphan It's either in Victory Road or inside Silver Cave. I caught it on Silver Cave juz by surprise. I was training and puff, it appeared.
3. Violet Krabby and Green Krabby..
Hey you all poke fans. I would like to warn you ..
Hey you all poke fans. I would like to warn you about some bogus or dangerous cheats like:
DANGER:
1. The cheat that you get all starters if you have any POKEMON in any box you should know that the POKEMON in you box will vanish and you will have only your party POKEMON and the starter you chose to get from the cheat for ex Chikorita or Totodile or any other POKEMON.
BOGUS:
3. There is no such thing as Dancer the evolved POKEMON of Gloom because Gloom evolves into Vileplume with the LEAF STONE and into Bellossom with the SUN STONE. There is no such thing as RAINBOW STONE.

Hey, I found this really cool cheat.
This cheat is for ppl who are in the middle of game stage 1 (between the very beginning and beating elite 4)
When you're in Cianwood, go to the house that's at the top (or near the top). A guy in there will tell you that you're enemy has stolen one of his pokemon and hhe'll ask you to take care of his Shukie. Take it and come back later. (make sure you have enough room in your party) When you come back he'll ask for it back. Make sure you've trained it to lv.30. If you keep it then go back after catching Lugia and Ho-oh. He'll say "WOW YOU'RE SO STRONG" and he'll take back his shuckie. If you talk to him 10 times he'll give you shuckie lv. 40 to keep!!!

Yeah, sure wild Pokemon are of utmost importance..
Yeah, sure wild Pokemon are of utmost importance to raise Pokemon but when youre trying to get to a certain place (I am especially attracted to Celadon City) these Pokemon can be annoying. Don't worry here's a cheat for this:

2) Go to Ilex Forest and acquire the Cut Ability. You know how to get it!
3) Teach it to a compatible Pokemon.
4) Turn towards a patch of grass.
5) Tell the Pokemon to use Cut.
6) That patch of grass will disappear.

Strong Pokemon
This may not be true I don't know, but a friend told me this: When you have beaten the Elite Four + beaten Kanto, go to mount Silver .When inside keep walking until a wild LARVITAR appears.
Better have a good ball like a Ultra ball! Beacase you need to catch one. Raise it until it evolves at lvl 65 or something. It is according to my mate the best in the game. When it evolves I think it becomes a TYRANATAR.
