Gold (Adventures)

"The opponent is someone who abuses Pokémon for selfish reasons. It's unforgivable!"

- Gold in Pokémon Adventures: Volume 13

Gold is the first new trainer featured in the Gold and Silver Chapter of Pokémon Adventures.

Background
Hailing from New Bark Town, the boy is incredibly athletic and lives in a house full of various Pokémon. Because of this, the neighbors have dubbed him “The Pokémon boy”. He started with the Pokémon Cyndaquil. His birthdate is July 21. His bloodtype is B. Sampling popular foods from different places is his interest. Skateboarding and Billiards are his skills. Volcanic Steak is his favorite food.

Personality
As the reader becomes acquainted with Gold, one finds he’s a kind-hearted but very hot-headed young man who doesn’t seem to think things over well. When he first met Bugsy, he mistook him for a female and asked him out for tea. He also asked Jasmine, the Olivine City Gym Leader out on a date once. He also touched Blue saying "Who is this pretty lady?" igniting Silver's anger. He can be compared to Fukuyama Kazuharu of Girls Bravo in terms of personality. For some reason when he first met Crystal he did not get along with her and when Crystal took the burnt food that he gave to her, he said that the blackness of the food matches her personality. Also at the end of the saga he flirted with Yellow, not knowing that she was a year older, until Crystal showed him the information about Yellow.

Skills
Gold's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is hatching eggs. He is known as the "Breeder".

Appearance
He has the same look as Gold from the game. He doesn't have that much changes in appearances.
