FAQ
Pokémon Gold cheat codes?
Walls, money, Repel, Rare Candy. Use one at a time with a save state.
Play Gold on a phone?

No. Load .gbc.
How do I beat Whitney?
Status, grind, or a fighting type. Miltank rollouts hurt if you stay in.
Gold vs Crystal?
Crystal is a later Johto version. This page is Gold. Same emulator, different ROM.
Emulator cores live on S3. A game starts from a hosted ROM when that file exists, or from a local file you pick. Local files are not uploaded.
