Pokémon Gold Version 1999

Is it still worth playing?

Game Freak's 1999 role playing game for the Game Boy Color, released in North America in 2000 together with Silver. It is set in Johto three years after Red and Blue, with turn based battles, and the goal is to beat the Elite Four and Lance and to complete a Pokédex of 251 creatures, which needs trading with earlier games. The game added 100 species, a real time clock that affects events, held items, breeding at a Daycare, the Steel and Dark types, a Special stat split in two and the Pokégear. After Johto you can revisit Kanto and take on a second set of eight Gym Leaders, and a phone lets you rematch trainers. The new types, held items and breeding give team building more depth. Two regions on one cartridge keep the adventure going past the first Elite Four, and that is the reason to play it today.
