Here's why:
* Shiny Gold is a fan-made ROM hack: It's based on the original Pokemon Gold, but with a lot of modifications.
* Bulbasaur is a Kanto starter: It's only available in the original Pokemon Red, Blue, and Green games, not in Gold.
What you CAN do in Shiny Gold:
* Choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile: These are the three starter Pokemon available in the Johto region, where Shiny Gold takes place.
* Trade for a Bulbasaur: If you have friends who play Pokemon games on the Virtual Console or have older Pokemon games, you can trade for a Bulbasaur.
