After a bit, they recieve their GBA, and insert the game, choosing to start a new game rather than look at the previous owner's file. Oddly, instead of the usual intro with Professor Oak introducing the world of Pokémon, a black screen shows while an unknown figure states that Pokémon are just tools to use and throw away, after which they're greeted with a cutscene of TheRival, Silver, heading to Professor Elm's lab. After he arrives, the cutscene ends, and they find out that this copy has them play as Silver, to their delight.

''Pokémon Tarnished Gold'' is a {{creepypasta}} based on ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. This one comes with a framing device of a person getting a strange email from an anonymus source, in which the sender talks about the strange copy of [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon Gold]] that they got from their grandmother.
The sender explains their love for Pokémon, and how Gold was their favourite entry, and how they wished to play a new game of it, but due to not wanting to reset their childhood copy, were looking for a new copy. Eventually, their grandmother returns from an auction having bought a used copy of the game, minus the label.
After a bit, they recieve their GBA, and insert the game, choosing to start a new game rather than look at the previous owner's file. Oddly, instead of the usual intro with Professor Oak introducing the world of Pokémon, a black screen shows while an unknown figure states that Pokémon are just tools to use and throw away, after which they're greeted with a cutscene of TheRival, Silver, heading to Professor Elm's lab. After he arrives, the cutscene ends, and they find out that this copy has them play as Silver, to their delight.
After playing out Silver's theft of his starter Pokémon, Totodile in this case, and being denied the chance to nickname by the intro's mysterious voice, the story begins proper. There are some odd gameplay changes, but otherwise, [[AnotherSideAnotherStory the game seems built to tell Silver's side of the original game's story]]. But eventually, the game's story is found to diverge into an ending completely different from the original game.

!!''Pokémon Tarnished Gold'' provides examples of:
* AnotherSideAnotherStory: The game the story is about starts as this for [[TheRival Silver]], before eventually turning out to have a completely different ending.
* EverybodyDiesEnding: [[spoiler:When Silver makes it to Giovanni's hideout, Mewtwo proceeds to kill Gold's Typhlosion, Gold, Giovanni, and finally Silver]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Giovanni uses Mewtwo to murder others, but eventually his words anger Mewtwo, who proceeds to kill Giovanni]].
* KleptomaniacHero: Silver gains key items and the gym badges by stealing them from the relevant characters.
* NothingIsScarier: The major hint that Viridan City is where things hit the fan is that it's empty, No music plays, and all the characters are missing.
* ShoutOut: The sender's email gives their name as "NO MORE", one of the final Unown messages in Fanfic/PokemonLostSilver.
* StarterMon: Notably, only Totodile is available to the player, with Gold having Cyndaquil to fit with this. The Chikorita from the original game is completely unaccounted for.
