Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions/Localization Changes/Gameplay


 * In the Japanese and Korean versions, and  are found in the  in Pokémon Gold while  and  are found in the wild in Pokémon Silver. In the Western localizations, these were switched. This change was not replicated in the international versions of.
 * The party of Alex, a  found on, is made of  that have names ending in "king" (Japanese: キング). Due to  not sharing this trait in the Western releases (its Japanese name is コイキング Koiking), it was replaced by  in order to stay true to the theme. Unlike Magikarp, which is level 58, the Seaking is level 29 like the rest of his team. In the Korean versions, his team is the same as in the Japanese versions since Magikarp's Korean name is 잉어킹 (Ingeoking) and both  and  also have the word "king" (Korean: 킹) in their Korean names. This was also not redone for  since Alex still has a Magikarp in the localizations, which is now level 65.
 * The Korean versions of the games can only be played on the Game Boy Color, due to the need for more memory in order to properly render the Korean characters.
 * If the clock on the 3DS is adjusted, the clocks on Pokémon Gold and Silver will stay the same time.
