By this logic the gameboy advanced was an updated system and no, gold and Siver did not work on the original Gameboy. I am trying it right now and it doesn't work. If they are supposed to work then maybe I have newer copies of the game but surly, my gold cartridge does not work with my Gameboy. (yes, my gameboy works)


You're either lying or your GB is busted, because that's not true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_Gold_and_Silver

Unless you're from South Korea, your copy of Gold/Silver should work on the Gameboy, just like everyone elses.

Crystal was the only Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon game exclusive to the GBC. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, and Silver all worked on the original Gameboy. The Gameboy Color was an update to the Gameboy just like the GBA SP, the DSi, and the New 3DS. The GBA was a new system entirely. Just like the DS and 3DS after it.

It goes:

Gameboy (Pocket)(Color)

Gameboy Advance (SP)(Micro)

Nintendo DS (Lite)(i/i XL)

Nintendo 3DS (XL)(2DS)(New/New XL)

Nope, doesn't work but F1 racing and Tetris works. So either they made newer verions of the game that don't work or my game is busted in a way that it works on my Gameboy colour and not my gameboy. Even then, it still doesn't matter because there were many games that were make for the gameboy colour that were not for the gameboy. Look at it as being a game that is backwards compatable if gold and silver did work. Also, don't forget that gold and silver were originally released for the gameboy colour and not the original gameboy. With the gameboy colour prettying being the next generation gameboy, it is defintailly a different situation as to here where the only different betwee this 3DS and the new 3DS is that it gives you better hardware specs. There is nothing really new to it to revolutionize the system.
