Pokemon Gold was my first game ever and I still remember the day I recieved a copy, which I still have today.
1. One of my more fond memories was fighting the gym leaders even though I only got to Whitney ( I was a young'n at the time ) I still loved to test my strength against these leaders.
2. The places, I used to hang around Azalea and Goldenrod alot, mainly Azalea because I loved to headbutt the trees to find unique pokemon, and Goldenrod because I didn't know what to do with the Sudowoodo sitting about outside of Goldenrod.
3. The music, I used to always have my volume up high to listen to the music in Violet city, Goldenrod city and Azalea.
4. My first team members, Typhlosion and Togetic, my starter and the first pokemon I had gotten via an egg, which blew my mind at the time. I thought Togepi was super rare, which it was so I just had to use it. That save file has been corrupt for a few years now, but I still remember them.
5. Just the Pokemon in general, I always remembered Spinarak and Wooper. They were two Pokemon that couldn't get outta my mind, and I believe I even caught a Spinarak, but no Wooper because they only came out at night, which was trouble because I was Four years old so I was in bed by then.
6. The routes, all the routes in between cities and towns, it was exciting to see what Pokemon and trainers would await my arrival, who knows I could encounter a new, rare, Pokemon.
7. Ilex forest, that place has many memories actually, one of them was being completley lost in that place, and the other my first shiny encounter, Pineco. After I learned about shinies I had known that I had an oddly coloured Pineco in my Pokemon box, which meant I had a Shiny, cool!
8. The cover art, Ho-Oh blew my little toddler mind, I wanted to have that Pokemon. My friend had told me that Ho-Oh couldn't be received until later on in the game, but I couldn't progress further because of the Sudowoodo blocking my path, which my friend had ever so nicely gotten me through that part and caught the Sudowoodo, which I ended up using.
9. Discovering that a new Pokemon game was coming out, Pokemon Crystal. My friend, who I am still good friends with today had gotten it, I was jealous. He had been playing it all day and was already passed the Sudowoodo, already farther than me. He had a Meganium and a Slowpoke. I thought Slowpoke was awesome and he showed me how to get one, which was another member of my Gold team.
10. And finally, Generally playing it. I mean, I went everywhere with my Gameboy and I remember a memory of my Mother who had been getting surgery on her back ( shes fine now ) and sat with her in the room as she rested and I had my Gameboy and Pokemon Gold there with me. I didn't like her room though because there was someone in there with her who had been extremely mentally handicapped and had been having seizures and making noises which scared me.
And those are all of my memories from my Pokemon Gold game.
