Featuring an expanded post-game, Pokémon Gold and Silver additionally offer extra content from the previous entries in the series.

The community says

Comparing this to Chrono Trigger feels unfair, they're not even trying to do the same thing, but Gold still holds up remarkably well for what it is.

    Fair point on the win rate, though I wonder if that's more about who shows up to vote than the game itself?

    Recuerdo pasar un verano entero atrapando Pokémon, buenísimo. ¿Alguien más lo rejugó de adulto?

    71% win rate speaks for itself honestly.

    Yo también pensaba que el ratio hablaba solo, lo tuve varias semanas seguidas en pausa y siempre volvía por las noches sin falta.

    89e alors que SoulSilver fait clairement mieux ce que ce jeu propose déjà, ça interroge.
