Pokemon Golden Boys (Pokemon Kin Gin: Golden Boys in Japanese) is a manga written and drawn by Muneo Saito, and based on Pokémon Gold and Silver, eventually including Pokémon Crystal elements. The manga ran in CoroCoro Comic from November 1999 to September 2001.Its full name is Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys. It follows the basic story of the games quite well, with quite a few twists added in. Rare for a Pokémon adaptation, it shows characters eating meat and shows cars quite explicitly.Gold, a determined young boy, is asked by the well-known Professor Elm to go to Mr. Pokémon in Cherrygrove City. With his new Pokémon, a Totodile, he invokes on a mission to meet this man and fulfill his mission. He encounters the mysterious Black, who becomes his rival. Unable to find Mr. Pokémon he goes on a journey to find him, fighting gym leaders on the side.Not to be confused with a Pokémon adaptation of Golden Boy. |

Obstructive Vigilantism: A part at the beginning of the game - where the player is asked to give the name of their rival by reporting it to the police (in the original he tells you his name for no reason, in the DS remakes the Player Character gets a look at his trainer card) - is portrayed as Gold misleading the police so he can take him down himself. |

Word Salad Title: Variation. It makes sense considering the protagonist is named "Gold" and it's based off a game series where one of the games is "Gold", but it still is random and makes no sense in its apparent context. |

comment |
Meaningless Villain Victory: Black technically wins his battle with Gold in the ninth chapter. However, the fact that he did so via having his Sneasel push Gold's Quilava in the way of Gold's Hitmontop's Triple Kick and then finish off the badly damaged Fire-type means that the entire audience is upset at Black. Gold is labeled the true winner after an indifferent Black stomps off because Gold fought fairly and Gold gets a Tyrogue. |
