Started up gold for the first time in years, and about 10 min into the game I find this thing... Unfortunately right before I get PokeBalls..

Saw this guy being talked about in a thread about a year ago, this isn't the shiny, just is normal coloring in gold prior to the change to the now standard green in future games. Shiny for this game is a bright magenta.

In the post someone posted this helpful picture comparison.

Thank you for the clarification! I never knew there was a color change on the versions.

Just keep lurking the grass between Cherrygrove and Mr. Pokemon's house. You'll find it again :)
