Pikachu is not available as a starter in the Gold version. he is only available in the Yellow version only.
Not within the game. The only Pikachu you can get in Yellow Version is the one you get at the beginning; if you want to get another one, you'll need to trade for it.
You cannot evolve Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow, unless you trade it to a red or blue version, and give it a thunderstone there. Once you get it back it will not follow you.
In video games, the only version you can make your Pokemon follow you is in Pokemon yellow ( only pikachu), Pokemon heartgold, and Pokemon soulsilver
