Gold (Pokémon)

This article is about Gold, a character in the Pokémon RPGs and Pokémon Adventures/Special. For the game, see Pokémon Gold.

Gold (ゴールド, Gōrudo^?) Is the protagonist of Pokémon Gold and Silver and one arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga.

In the games

Gold is a young trainer from the Johto region, who sets out to prove himself 3 years after Red became the League Champion. Gold is the male protagonist in Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Crystal.

In the manga

Gold is the first new trainer featured in the Gold and Silver arc of Pokémon Adventures. Hailing from New Bark Town, the boy is incredibly athletic and lives in a house full of various Pokémon. Because of this, the neighbours have dubbed him “The Pokémon boy”. He started with the Pokemon Cyndaquil. As one gets to know Gold better though, one finds he’s a kind-hearted but very hot-headed young man who doesn’t seem to think things over well. Another interesting note is that he can be rather perverted, and shows no shame about it either. When he first met Bugsy, he mistook him for a female and asked him out for tea. He also asked Jasmine, the Olivine City Gym Leader out on a date once.He also touched Green's (Blue in the Japanese manga) buttocks,saying "Who is this pretty lady?" igniting Silver's anger. He can be compared to Fukuyama Kazuharu of Girls Bravo in terms of personality. Along with the new protagonists, his rival Silver and Crystal, they fight with Red's team against the Mask of Ice, and in the end, was able to cure Pryce (the true identity of the Mask of Ice) of his sadness with the help of Celebi. After Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver are petrified into stone by the after-effects of the energy blast caused by Deoxys, Gold and Crystal re-appear in the Battle Frontier saga, where the new protagonists Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire are battling against Guile Hideout, in hopes of achieveing a goal that the current main characters are clueless about; reviving their old companions, who are statues trapped at the end of the top room of the Battle Tower.
