User:Maplestrip/Development of Pokémon Gold and Silver

The development of the video games Pokémon Gold Version and Silver Version began in 1996, shortly after the release of their predecessors Pokémon Red and Blue.

Difficulties
Junichi Masuda was in charge of sound design for the original Pokémon games, but was promoted to the role of assistant director during the development of Gold and Silver.

Composition
The soundtrack of Pokémon Gold and Silver was programmed in by Junichi Masuda on an Amiga computer, converted to MIDI data and converted again to the Game Boy Color. The original sound files have since been lost.
