LONGEVITY
Complete a Life Complete a full life
All you have to do for this one is die. You probably have it by now, but if you're super attached to your first Bitizen, you can always save your Bitlife and play somebody else wastefully or hold out until they pass.
Octogenarian See your 80th birthday Nonagenarian 90th birthday Centenarian 100th birthday Super-centarian 110th birthday Mega-centarian 120th birthday
Get on a healthy diet and garden and meditate twice a year. I like Nutrisystem. It's expensive, but I have advice for managing that below...
Strong Genes Achieve a 500-year generation Long Lineage 1000-year generation Living Legacy 5000-year generation
Never don't have kids. I like leaving everything to the youngest child and playing as them, but that won't make your kids happy with you or your heir. Your call. Either way, it helps to have a couple Bitlifes going in case you get tired of living carefully. Sometimes you're gonna want to be more reckless, you know?
WEALTH
Millionaire Become a millionaire My Second Million Achieve a net worth of $2m
Now that we have Royalty and Sports, this is a lot easier. Traditionally, if you're hot (95%+), drop out of high school and get your GED ($1k, you can do that in a couple years of dog walking/freelance gigs) and wait for a singer or actor career. If not, work hard in school and go to the gym often. Check your parents' stats and if they're generous make sure you pass your drivers test (maybe even ask if you can get a nicer one! immediately sell your car, they lose value fast) and take a martial art. It's much cheaper if they pay for it ($1K per tier in some countries) and gets you in good shape. If you're athletic, grind at a sport from middle school onwards. If you're not, try some athletic-adjacent clubs and go to the gym and for walks often. Pets count as additional walks which you can take from age 8+. When you're in good shape you can get a soccer scholarship (which can become a/)or a professional sports contract. More sports tips below, same with other careers. Basically try to get famous, not through politics. Or be hot and marry rich/have rich parents who die/be royal.
Multimillionaire Achieve a net worth of $10m Rich Net worth of $20m Super Rich Net worth of $50m Stinking Rich Net worth of $100m
Get a couple million first, then invest it in real estate. Or do ads if you're famous and it won't ruin your career. Helps to be big on social media for influence on that stuff. Fix up 1M+ houses and flip them when they've hit a value of 2 or 3 million. If you've got great karma or you're a religious figure of some kind, exorcise some mansions. You can do it all that way, or keep grinding careers.
Bitionaire Achieve a net worth of $1b
It's hard to get here from 0. Helps to leave everything to your youngest kid before you die after living a long, fruitful life. You can let your kid "take over" your assets at any time without tax now, that's the best way to do it. Then as soon as they're 18 make them famous/invest in real estate and repeat.
CAREER
Actor Become an actor
Be hot. You can drop out at 16 and get your GED for $1k (ask your parents for money or do freelance gigs for a couple of years). If you're not, go to the gym and for walks often. Pets count as additional walks which you can take from age 8+. Grind at a sport in school if you can to keep your health well and get plastic surgery at 18. Generally if your appearance stats are low it's either a nose job or liposuction that will fix it. Always go to the best plastic surgeon. Marry rich if you have to or work for a couple years if you have to, but start the career as soon as you can. Always work 5 more hours a week than required and compliment your supervisor if their coolness is high. Sleep with people in Hollywood (bosses coworkers etc). Your spouse/parent will generally be mad if you're in rude magazines, so hold off on dating unless they're cool or make them deal with it.
Airplane Pilot Become an airline captain
Grind in school and keep your mental health well. No drugs but drink if you feel like it, just make sure you can go to AA or whatever. Always work 5 more hours a week than required and compliment your supervisor if their coolness is high. If you're rich and you've inherited an airplane or you can afford lessons, take them.

Have health above 50% when you take a martial arts lesson. Follow above tips. Parents will probably only pay for one set of lessons, so pay for the other arts yourself as an adult. At $10k per martial art, it will probably cost you $40k-$50k.
Disease
Addicted Sustain 3 addictions at once
Play Blackjack or go to the horse races often with mid-tier mental health. Get addicted to pills or some other hard non-psychedelic drugs. Start drinking last b/c it'll kill your health.

This guide is mostly for people who never played Gold or Silver back in the days, but there might be some bits of information that even seasoned veterans might find interesting.
With Gold/Silver being re-released for Virtual Console in September, it is time to recall some tips and tricks to make the most out of the games.
1: Should you play Gold or Silver?
There are suprisingly few differences between both games. The only thing worth noting are version exclusives.

• Version Exclusives in Silver: Vulpix, Ninetales, Meowth, Persian, Ledyba, Ledian, Delibird, Skarmory, Phanpy, Donphan
  
• Version Exclusives in Gold: Mankey, Primeape, Growlithe, Arcanine. Spinarak, Ariados, Gligar, Teddiursa, Ursaring, Mantine
  

Notice something? That's right, you can catch both Lugia and Ho-Oh in both games. The difference is that in Silver, you can catch Lugia at Lv.40 before the League and Ho-Oh at Lv .70 after the League and in Gold, you can catch Ho-Oh at Lv.40 before the League and Lugia at Lv.70 after the League. Also, Lugia will know its signature move Aeroblast in Silver only while Ho-Oh will know its signature move Sacred Fire in Gold only. However, if you decide to transfer your legendary to a 7th generation game, you can relearn these moves via move reminder.
Speaking of transferring Pokemon, remember that all Pokemon from Gen 2 will have their Hidden Ability after being transferred. You want that Hidden Ability Gligar to evolve it into Poison Heal Gliscor for your competitive Gen7 team later on? Then it is the Gold Version for you! Also Side Note, you can determine the nature your Pokemon will have after the transfer, it all comes down to the last 2 digits of that Pokemon's experience
Another minor difference is that each Pokemon has a different sprite in the 2 versions. No effect on gameplay, but if you care about this aesthetical aspect, you might check out the sprites of the Pokemon you care about at Bulbapedia.
2: Legendary Pokemon (and how to catch them)
Aside from the already mentioned mascot legendaries, you are also able to catch the 3 legendary beasts Raikou, Entei and Suicune. Since these 3 are roaming around Johto and trying to flee whenever you encounter them, a Pokemon with Mean Look is advisable. I recommend HaunteGengar, because it is available early in the game and also learns Hypnosis, which is just as useful because as soon as you locked the beasts into battle, they will try to roar you away. Jynx is another option as it learns Mean Look and Lovely Kiss, which has a higher accuracy than Hypnosis. But since Jynx is slow, you have to train it to ~ Lv.50 so it can outspeed the dogs. A third option is Parasect, which can't learn Mean Look but learns Spore, the only 100% accuracy sleep-inducing move.
False Swipers (to bring the opposing Pokemon down to 1 HP exactly) exist, but they are few and far between. You can choose between Scyther, Cubone and Farfetch'd. You could also breed Spearow and Paras with False Swipe, but that requires you to catch Scyther or Farfetch'd in the first place, so why go the extra mile? If you insist on having a False Swiper, I'd recommend Scyther as it is available early in the game and learns False Swipe already at Lv.18.
Due to a stupid bug, the status conditions of paralysis, burn and poison increase the catch rate by 0 as opposed to by 5, and since freeze is unreliable, your best bet is to put any Pokemon you want to catch to sleep. It could be that GF will fix this bug in the Virtual Console versions.
3: Interactable Pokemon
Be warned. Gold/Silver are not so kind to respawn interactable Pokemon like the Red Gyarados, they are truly once per game. Don't be a fool like me 15 years ago and kill Sudowoodo just because you think it looks stupid. Whenever you see an interactable Pokemon in the overworld, catch it.
An exception to this rule is Lapras. It appears once every Friday in Union Cave even if you defeat or catch it (so in theory, you can catch as many as you want). However, you need Surf to reach it (you get Surf after the 4th gym). If caught right after the 4th gym, Lapras joins you at a reasonable level and is a great addition to any in-game team still lacking a water type.

• Interactable Pokemon in Johto: Lapras, Sudowoodo, Red Gyarados
  
• Interactable Pokemon in Kanto: Snorlax
  

4: Gift Pokemon
Over the course of the game, you will receive certain gift Pokemon:

• Spearow (KENYA, from guard in Goldenrod City), Eevee (from Bill in Goldenrod City), Togepi (story), Shuckle(story but optional, available in Cianwood City after your rival steals Kirk's Sneasel), Tyrogue (Mt.Mortar)

While most of these are worth picking up (because they are hard or not at all to be found in the wild), most of them are either underleveled or just too weak to become a valuable team member. There is one exception though: Meet KENYA.
KENYA (Spearow) is received from the guard in the southern gate of route 35 (north from Goldenrod City) and holds a mail. You are supposed to deliver KENYA and the mail to the guard's friend on route 31. My advice: Don't do it! Instead, put the mail in your pc, give it to one of your Pokemon you don't need anymore and deliver that Pokemon instead to receive TM50 (Nightmare). KENYA joins you at a reasonable level and its OT is "Randy". This means it counts as trade Pokemon and gains increased experience per battle. Combine that with the fact that normal/flying type Pokemon were a big deal in the first gens and you get a bird that serves you well until late game.
Kirk gives you his Shuckle as he is afraid your rival might steal it just like his Sneasel. He will later ask for Shuckle back. If the player agrees, he will let him/her keep it if it has high friendship; otherwise he will take it back. Before taking it back, he will ask the player to take the Berry Juice held by Shuckie. However, he will accuse the player of stealing if Shuckie is not returned (remember, when was the last time a Pokemon game allowed you to be the bad guy?). The important part though is that Shuckle can convert any berry it holds to Berry Juice after a certain period of time. A myth says that the Berry Juice will be converted to a Rare Candy after an even longer period of time, however, this myth seems to be busted.
Pro tip: If you are going to get Tyrogue in Mt. Mortar, leave 1 free space in your Pokemon team. Also you need Surf and Waterfall and preferably Flash to reach it.
5: In-game trades

• In-game trades in Johto: Onix, Machop, Voltorb, Rhydon,
  
• In-game trades in Kanto: Rapidash, Aerodactyl
  

In-game trades are always a nice thing thanks to the increased experience traded Pokemon receive after a battle. Still, not all of the available trades are a good deal. I can recommend Onix and Machop since the trade material is easy to acquire (Bellsprout, Drowzee) and both Pokemon help you immediately (Onix is good against Falkner's flying types while Machop works wonders against Whitney's Miltank). Aerodactyl's trainer requires a Chansey as trade material and Chansey can only be found at Route 13, 14 and 15 at a 1% encounter rate. Unfortunately, it's the only way to get Aerodactyl in the game, so the choice is up to you.
Voltorb and Rapidash are not really worth it since you can catch Voltorb in the Rocket Headquarters.,Rapidash can be caught at the end of the game at Mt. Silver and Ponyta are all over the place in Kanto. Rhydon is a total rip-off as the trader demands a female Dragonair for it. You'd need the super rod to get a Dragonair, but the super rod is only available in mid Kanto, so you would have to use the good rod to catch a Dratini, train it to Lv.30 and evolve it. Rhydon might be rare, but it's not that valuable (unless it's your favorite and you just need to have it on your team before the E4).
6: Evolution items
First of all, most of the evolution items are only given to you once per game. You might still get additional ones from wild Pokemon who hold these items, but it's a tedious grind. Use them wisely.

• Sun Stone (Gloom -> Bellossom, Sunkern -> Sunflora): 1st Prize of Bug catching contest
  
• King's Rock (Poliwhirl -> trade -> Politoed, Slowpoke -> trade -> Slowking): found at Slowpoke Well (1x), held by wild Slowpoke and Poliwhirl (8%)
  
• Metal Coat (Onix -> trade -> Steelix, Scyther -> trade -> Scizor): found on S.S. Aqua (1x), held by wild Magnemite (8%)
  
• Dragon Scale (Seadra -> trade -> Kingdra): found at Mt. Mortar (1x), Held by wild Horsea, wild Seadra, wild Dratini, and wild Dragonair (8%)
  
• Up-Grade (Porygon -> Trade -> Porygon2): found at Silph Co.
  
• Moon Stone (Nidorino -> Nidoking, Nidorina -> Nidoqueen, Clefairy -> Clefable, Jigglypuff -> Wigglytuff): Tohjo Falls (1x, requires Surf but not waterfall), 5th purchase of mom if you allow her to save your money, Mt. Moon Square (Mondays, requires Rock Smash)
  
• Fire Stone (Vulpix -> Ninetales, Growlithe -> Arcanine, Eevee -> Flareon): Route 25 (from Bill's grandfather, show him Vulpix in Silver or Growlithe in Gold
  
• Thunder Stone (Pikachu -> Raichu, Eevee -> Jolteon): Route 25 (from Bill's grandfather, show him Pichu)
  
• Water Stone (Poliwhirl -> Poliwrath, Shellder -> Cloyster, Staryu -> Starmie, Eevee -> Vaporeon): Route 25 (from Bill's grandfather, show him Staryu)
  
• Leaf Stone (Gloom -> Vileplume, Weepinbell -> Victribel, Exeggcute -> Exeggutor): Route 25 (from Bill's grandfather, show him Oddish)
  

7: TMs
I won't say much about it, but remember that in Gen2, TMs are one time use only, so choose wisely who should receive that Earthquake.
It is also worth noting that the Goldenrod Department store sells the elemental punch TMs. These punches provide good type coverage for many Pokemon (e.g. Thunderpunch for Typhlosion or Ice Punch for Feraligatr).
8: HMs
The HMs in this game are: Flash, Cut, Surf, Strength, Fly, Whirlpool, Waterfall.
I strongly advise against teaching a permanent team member Flash, Waterfall and Whirlpool (not even your HM slave), because you very rarely need any of these HMs. It is smarter to teach those HMs to a Pokemon you normally don't use and take it into your team when needed:

• Whirlpool is required in the Whirl Islands, the Dragon's Den and Route 26 to get SolarBeam
  
• Waterfall is required in Tohjo Falls, Mt. Mortar, and Mt. Silver (I think the Whirl Islands have one but you can get to Lugia without Waterfall. Maybe...It's been a long time, ok?)
  
• Flash is required in Dark Cave, Mt. Silver, and Rock Tunnel
  

Good temporary HM slaves who can learn Flash, Whirlpool and Waterfall all at once are Psyduck, Staryu and Lanturn.
Surf is often needed and a good water attack in general and always better than Waterfall because in Gen 2, all water attacks are special and Surf does more damage than Waterfall.
Fly and Strength are not the best attacks, but in-game wise, they are good enough to have them permanently on your team.
Cut is horrible, but taking a Pokemon out of the box whenever you encounter a tree is a pain. I'd say just teach it one of your Pokemon and pretend that Cut is as badass as it sounds.
9: Type-enhancing items
Each day of the week, you will find one of the week siblings at a certain place in Johto. They will give you an item that boosts attacks of a certain type by 10% when held. The locations are:

• Monday: Route 40 - Sharp Beak (Flying+)
  
• Tuesday: Route 29 - Pink Bow (Normal+)
  
• Wednesday: Lake of Rage - Black Belt (Fighting+)
  
• Thursday: Route 36 - Hard Stone (Rock+)
  
• Friday: Route 32 - Poison Barb (Poison+)
  
• Saturday: Blackthorn City - Spell Tag (Ghost+)
  
• Sunday: Route 37 - Magnet (Electro+)
  

Other type enhancers are:

• Black Glasses (Dark+) found in Dark Cave (Shady guy)
  
• Charcoal (Fire+), found in Azalea Town (Charcoal Maker)
  
• Dragon Fang (Dragon+), found in Dragon's Den (does not work)
  
• Miracle Seed (Grass+), found on Route 32
  
• Mystic Water (Water+), found in Cherrygrove City (needs Surf)
  
• NeverMelt Ice (Ice+), found in Ice Path
  
• Polkadot Bow (Normal+), held by Jigglypuff when traded from Gen I to Gen II
  
• Silver Powder (Bug+), held by wild Butterfree (8%)
  
• Soft Sand (Ground+), found on route 34 (Cooltrainer Kate, needs surf to reach)
  
• Twisted Spoon (Psychic+), held by Kadabra traded from Pokemon Yellow
  
• Metal Coat (Steel+), found on S.S. Aqua
  

Note: Due to a bug, Dragon Fang does not increase the strength of Dragon type moves. Instead, Dragon Scale does! Dragon Scale can be found at Mt. Mortar and its original purpose is to evolve Seadra to Kingdra via trade. It's possible that GF will fix this bug in the versions for Virtual Console
10: Other items you shouldn't miss

• Amulet Coin (found in the Goldenrod Department Store basement): If a Pokémon that is holding Amulet Coin is sent into a Trainer battle, the money earned from the battle is doubled. Should be acquired as fast as possible and used as much as possible because making money was not as easy back then as it is in Sun&Moon.
  
• Exp Share (Route 30, from Mr. Pokémon in exchange for Red Scale): When held by a Pokémon, allows it to earn half the EXP gained from defeating a Pokémon, regardless of whether it was used in battle or not. Comes pretty late because you only get the Red Scale after capturing/defeating Red Gyarados. Still good to train your weaker Pokemon.
  
• Leftovers (found in the Celadon City Restaurant in a trash can): When this item is held, at the end of every turn, the holder regains 1/16th of their maximum HP. You just know you are playing a classic Pokemon game when you check the trash cans and actually find something.
  
• Quick Claw (given at the National Park from the woman at Park entrance): Gives the holder a ~23% chance of going first in its priority bracket. I know it's luck based, but for in-game purposes, it's decent.
  
• Smoke Ball (Goldenrod Tunnel): If this item is held by a Pokémon and you try to run away, you will be guaranteed to run. Good if you find yourself in a dungeon full of strong and fast Pokemon. Also, was I the only child who first thought this was some special Poke Ball?
  

11: Apricorn Balls
Apricorn Balls were introduced in Gen 2 and provide you with special bonuses when trying to catch Pokemon. You get them by giving Kurt in Azalea Town an Apricorn berry and it will take him 24 hours to turn it into a ball. Unfortunately, many of the Apricorn Balls had horrible bugs in the original games, rendering them useless. So unless GF fixes those bugs, be aware of the following:

• The Love Ball (Pink Apricorn,found on Route 42) was supposed to have a catch rate of 8x when used on a Pokemon of the other gender, but it only gains a catch rate of 8× on Pokémon of the same gender and species as the player's Pokémon.
  
• The Moon Ball (Yellow Apricorn, found on Route 42) was supposed to multiply the catch rate by 4 on Pokémon that evolve with Moon Stone but instead does this on Pokémon that evolve with Burn Heal. Consequently, Moon Ball does not have any additional effect and always acts like a Poké Ball.
  
• The Fast Ball (White Apricorn, found in Azalea Town) was supposed to quadruple the catch rate against all wild Pokémon that can flee, but due to a bug, it only does this for Magnemite, Grimer, and Tangela.
  
• The Level Ball (Red Apricorn, found on Route 37) works as intended: Catch rate is 1× if the player's Pokémon is the same level as or a lower level than the wild Pokémon, 2× if the player's Pokémon is at a higher level than the wild Pokémon but less than double it, 4× if the player's Pokémon is more than double but less than four times the level of the wild Pokémon, 8× if the player's Pokémon is of a level four times or more than that of the wild Pokémon
  
• The Lure Ball (Blue Apricorn, found on Route 37) works as intended: The Catch Rate is 3x if used on a Pokémon encountered while fishing
  
• The Friend Ball (Green Apricorn, found on Route 42) works as intended: Has a catch rate of only 1x but sets caught Pokémon's friendship to 200 immediately. (By the way, the only 2 Pokemon that make good targets for this ball are Chansey and Zubat/Golbat, as they are the only Pokemon evolving through achieving maximum friendship of 255 that can be caught in the wild).
  
• The Heavy Ball (Black Apricorn, found on Route 37) works as intended: Catch rate of -20 if used on Pokémon weighing less than 225.8 lbs, no modifier if used on Pokémon weighing between 225.8 lbs and 451.5 lbs, +20 if used on Pokémon weighing between 451.5 lbs and 677.3 lbs, +30 if used on Pokémon weighing more than 677.3 lbs. It's a bit tricky to determine when a Heavy Ball makes more sense than an Ultra Ball, but according to this site, the only 2 Pokemon a Heavy Ball should be used on are Lugia and Snorlax.
  

For comparison, the catch rate for a standard Ultra Ball is 2x.
12: The Bug-Catching Contest
A competition held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in Johto's National Park. No entry fee. The goal is to catch the best Bug-type Pokemon. You have 20 Park Balls at your disposal and you can only use one Pokemon from your team to weaken your targets. The contest ends when all Park Balls are used, you black out, leave the park, or 20 minutes have passed. The score earned for your Bug-type Pokemon is the sum of the following:

• 4 times the max HP of the Pokémon
  
• The sum of the Pokémon's other stats
  
• Up to 29 points based on the Pokémon's individual values:
  
• 16 points if the Defense IV is odd, 0 otherwise
  
• 8 points if the Attack IV is odd, 0 otherwise
  
• 4 points if the Special IV is odd, 0 otherwise
  
• 1 point if the Speed IV is odd, 0 otherwise
  
• 1/8 of the current HP of the Pokémon, rounded down
  
• 1 point if the Pokémon is holding an item, 0 otherwise
  

Since you can't influence the IVs, it is advisable to go for the Pokemon with the highest base stat. For this contest, this would be Scyther and Pinsir. Out of these 2, Scyther gains the upper hand because its HP stat is slightly higher than Pinsir's. Overall, the best Pokemon you could catch in this contest is a Lv.14 Scyther with full HP (try to put it asleep instead of attacking it).
Prizes are:

• 1st: Sun Stone (Evolution item)
  
• 2nd: Everstone (Evolution stopper)
  
• 3rd: Gold Berry (If the holder's HP falls below 50%, it will consume its held Gold Berry and restore 30 HP)
  
• Consolation Prize: Berry
  

13: Time Capsule
A quick statement about the time capsule. Yes, you can use it to trade between Gen 1 and Gen 2.
However, you cannot trade a new Pokemon from Gen 2 to Gen 1 for obvious reasons.
You also cannot trade a Pokemon from Gen 2 to Gen1 that either knows a move that didn't exist in Gen 1 or holds an item that didn't exist in Gen 1 (so you can't evolve a Scyther into Scizor by giving it Metal Coat, trading it to Gen 1 and then trading it back).
Eggs are not allowed either.
However, you can send a Pokemon from Gen 2 to Gen 1 that knows a move that exists in Gen 1 but could not be learned by said Pokemon in Gen 1.
Pokemon that are sent from Gen 1 to Gen 2 are guaranteed to hold an item. Which Pokemon holds which item can be seen here: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_wild_held_item_(Generation_II)
This is the only way to get certain items in Gen 2, for example the Twisted Spoon, only held by Kadabra traded from Pokemon Yellow.
14: Mother's savings
You can allow your mother to save money for you. If you do so, 25% of the money you earn from each battle automatically goes to your mother. She will then proceed to buy certain stuff, be it healing items or decoration for your room. I recommend enabling this feature from the beginning because her 5th purchase is a Moon Stone, and these are rare, especially early in the game.
15: The Phone
The phone in your Pokegear can store up to 10 numbers. 2 of them are always taken by your mother and Prof. Elm. Some trainers will try to give you their number and sometimes call you to either inform you about a swarm or call you for a rematch. I find the former option to be much more useful. You gain nothing from rematches that you don't gain from battling the E4 over and over again. The E4 give you more money and their Pokemon have higher levels. Swarm Pokemon on the other hand are very rare outside of swarms, giving those NPCs at least some importance.

• Hiker Anthony: Route 32 - Calls to tell you when Dunsparce is available
  
• Fisher Ralph: Route 32 - Calls to tell you when Qwilfish is available
  
• Bug Catcher Arnie: Route 35 - Calls to tell you when Yanma is available
  
• Fisher Wilton: Route 44 - Calls to tell you when Remoraid is available
  
• Schoolboy Chad: Route 38 - Calls to tell you when Snubbull is available
  
• Lass Dana: Route 38 - Calls to tell you when Tauros is available
  
• Hiker Parry: Route 45 - Calls to tell you when Marill is available
  

Another useful number is Bill's (Goldenrod City). He will call you whenever a PC Box is about to be filled. Back in the days, not changing your box was kind of a horrible situation. Nothing's worse than traveling all the way to Lugia and weaken it, only to hear that the goddamn box is full.
16: Headbutt
Not sure if it was just me, but I completely overlooked this mechanic 15 years ago. The concept is simple: Interact with a special kind of tree while having a Pokemon with the move Headbutt in your team, and with some luck, you will engage in a battle. This is the only way to encounter certain Pokemon (for example Pineco, or the popular Heracross). If done at a certain time of the day, there's a chance that the encountered Pokemon is asleep from the start of the battle, making catching it all the more easier.
17: Game Corner
After you get the Coin Case from the Goldenrod Underground, you can try your luck at the Goldenrod Game Corner (or just buy 50 or 500 coins for 1000P or 10,000P respectively). Here are the prizes:
TMs:

• Fire Blast, Blizzard, Thunder for 5500 coins each. Strong, but inaccurate. I don't think this is necessary for the initial playthrough.

Pokemon:

• Abra for 200 coins (cheap but you can catch it for free before you reach Goldenrod City)
  
• Ekans for 700 coins in Gold (the only way to get Ekans in Gold)
  
• Sandshrew for 700 coins in Silver (the only way to get Sandshrew in Silver)
  
• Dratini for 2100 coins (I know you guys want to have a Dragonite in your team, but this one requires patience. Dratini comes at LV 10 so to not be underleveled, you have to get it right away when you arrive in Goldenrod. You also won't have enough money to buy coins, so you have to gamble. If I had to take a guess, I would say that the card flip game has better odds of winning than the slot machine, which is purely luck based. However, so far I haven't found any way to "rig" the system and to reliably win more than I lose. Anyway, even if you manage to get Dratini, its experience growth is abysmally slow, you most likely won't get your Dragonite before Lance and be stuck with the mediocre Dratini and Dragonair for the most part of your Johto journey. You have been warned.)
  

Prizes in the Celadon Game Corner:
TMs:

• Double Team for 1500 coins (I wonder how you could lose your friends faster, using Double Team against them or shooting them with the blue shell in Mario Kart)
  
• Psychic for 3500 coins (one of the best attacks, but don't forget you already get Psychic once from Mr.Psychic in Saffron City)
  
• Hyper Beam for 7500 coins (Hyper Beam is not what it used to be in Gen1. Now the user has to recharge in any case, even if Hyper Beam defeated the opposing Pokemon. Usually Body Slam, Return or Double-Edge are better alternatives)
  

Pokemon:

• Mr. Mime for 3333 Coins (Why would you do this when Mr. Mime can be caught at Route 21?)
  
• Eevee for 6666 Coins (Why would you do this when you can just breed the Eevee you got from Bill in Goldenrod City?)
  
• Porygon for 9999 Coins (Why would you do that? Well, because you have to, if you want a Porygon. It's the only way in the game to get one)
  

Regarding the gambling, I mentioned that I haven't found a way to win more coins than I lose in the long term, but other people apparently had more success. Here are 2 bits I found on the internet:

The player edge in the card-flip game if all bets are made on a single card is 34.55%, about 4% higher than in Roulette. It can be mathematically proven that there is no better system than placing all bets on a single card.
The card flip game is the one to play, because the odds are actually in your favor. This is because the deck is only shuffled after twelve flips of the 24-card deck, meaning your odds continue to improve right up until the twelfth card. Just make sure every bet you place only covers cards that have not turned up yet, and always play all twelve flips so you take advantage of the better odds. It may take a while, but in the long run you will win more than you lose.

Maybe some of you have more knowledge in gambling and can tell me which of these texts is right and whether there really is a way to be a winner in the game corner.
18: Badge Boosts
In Gen 1-3, acquired badges often gave you a stat boost. For Gen 2, the stat boosts are the following:

• Zephyr Badge (1st Gym) boosts Attack
  
• Plain Badge (3rd Gym) boosts Speed
  
• Mineral Badge (6th Gym) boosts defense
  
• Glacier Badge (7th Gym) boosts Special Attack and Special Defense
  

Stat or stats are increased by 12.5%, meaning the stats corresponding to those badges you do have will actually be 12.5% higher in battle than the stats you see on your Pokémon's summary screen. To be precise, the boosts don't really increase the stats but act as a stat modifier during battle. This boosts are applied in all internal battles, but not link battles. Furthermore, due to a bug, if the attack is a critical hit and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored.
There is a second type of badge boost: Type boosts.
In Generation II, every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain type by 12.5%. The type strengthened matches the type theme of the Gym (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying-type). These boosts work similarly to the way same-type attack bonus (STAB) boosts work, and are calculated in-between weather modifiers and STAB. Just like stat boosts, type boosts are not applied in link battles. Since there is no Dark-type gym in Gold and Silver, Dark-type moves are the only moves that don't benefit from this boost.
19: Effort Values (EVs)
The EV cap of 510 does not exist in Gen 2. It is possible to max out a Pokemon's EV for every stat. EVs are set to zero whenever a Pokemon is transferred to Gen VII or Pokebank. Instead of EV points, the game uses EV bytes. After each battle, the base stats of the defeated Pokemon are converted into bytes and added to each EV. Each stat's EV can have a maximum of 65535 EV bytes.

• Example: Mew has a base stat of 100 for each stat. Defeating it would mean that each EV of your Pokemon would gain 100 EV bytes. Therefore, defeating 656 Mews would result in maximum EVs for each of your Pokemon's stats.

20. No Physical/Special-split
Starting with Gen IV, the game decided for each attack separately whether it is special or physical. This is not the case in Gen 2. Whether an attack is physical or special depends on the type of the attack.

• Physical attacks (which use attacker's Attack stat and defender's Defense stat to calculate damage): Normal, Fighting, Flying, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Poison, Steel
  
• Special attacks (which use the attacker's Special Attack stat and the defender's Special Defense stat to calculate damage): Water, Grass, Fire, Ice, Electric, Psychic, Dragon, Dark
  

Bonus
Ness_64 found a way to make encountering Chansey easier and to acquire Lucky Eggs:

For those with patience, here's something to help with level grinding after you get to Kanto. It's basically how to use the repel trick to get Lucky Eggs. You need:

• The Thief TM. There are no pokémon who learn Thief naturally in Gen II, you need to use the TM. You get it at the Rocket Hideout.
  
• A low-level compatible pokémon.
  
• The Cut HM.
  
• A few repels. Technically just 1 will do, but bring more just in case.
  

Once you get all of these, let's go:
1) Teach Thief to some low-level pokémon in your party and level it to 27-28, no more than that. It's strongly recommended to use it on a male pokémon.
2) Go to Kanto's Route 14 during the day (before 6PM).
3) Put the Thief pokémon as your lead.
4) Go to the tall grass on the north side of the route (you need Cut to get there) and use the repel.
5) Spin around in place with the D-Pad until you get an encounter. It may take some time, but it will happen. As long as you don't move, the repel will never wear off.
6) A wild Chansey appeared! Use Thief on her.
7) If she had a Lucky Egg, congratulations, defeat it and you'll keep it. Else, run away and repeat steps 5 and 6. Chansey carries a Lucky Egg 8% of the time, so this may take a while. I'm not sure if you keep the stolen item if you run away (I guess you do), but you definitely keep it if you defeat the Chansey. The problem is you might accidentally level up from defeating one (it doesn't help the Lucky Egg will boost her exp...).
You can repeat this as many times as you want, but just 1 will take some time. If your Thief pokémon overlevels to 29, you won't be able to find Chansey this way anymore. In that case, take it to the Move Deleter in Blackthorn City, delete everything but Thief (to ensure the move won't get replaced) and breed another one using it as the father.
You can also catch the Chansey and trade it for an Aerodactyl with a NPC on this route. This is the only way to get one in the games!
As I said earlier, you can also do this in Crystal, though there are a few differences. They added Hoppip to the mix and Chansey got a lot rarer due to that (around 9%). I also think it had to be somewhere else and with a slightly lower lead level, but it's been a while since I last played, so I may edit this later.
