Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver pack the legendary
Anthony Teel | 1:25 AM on 07.11.2009 19 comments


Let's face it, out of all the long and repetitive Pokémon games, Gold and Silver are still the best. They represent a real sequel that actually remembers the world you just ran through in Red and Blue instead of focusing on just one area. But now that Nintendo has decided to cash in with a remake of everyone's favorite poaching simulator, what are they adding that makes me really want to buy this game again?

The answer is a smorgasbord of those lovable little legendary critters. Remember how much like a pimp you felt when you caught that sparkling' red Gyarados? Well now you can feel that way all over again. Also included are Lugia and Ho-Oh from the originals, which you can expect to find at the ripe level of 45.

Now to push this game in to further stardom, you can also get your greedy mitts all over the 3 legendary dogs featured in the original, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, and Jirachi from the 3rd generation, and Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and Arceus from the 4th.

Whew! Now that's either a lot of gibberish or a lot of awesomeness. You decide for yourself and head on over to the official Japanese website for more pictures and information. The game is set to release in Japan on September 12th this year.

This is going to rock! Going between Kanto and Johto was such a great feature of the original.

This shit is going to be SO amazing. I'm debating if I should buy the Japanese version, or just wait for it to be localized, which shouldn't be too long. . .

I really need to just bite the bullet and sink half a paycheck into buying a DS, which will also mean no food for a week. Decisions, Decisions...

@Nanbu: Is mewtwo catchable? All the link says is that it's "present". I don't care, i miss the fella. It's been too long.

All that's awesome, but boo on the levels. The one problem G/S/C had was that everyones levels were too low, making it a breeze. Looks like that won't be changing :(

So, is Arceus an "event Pokemon" in this game, or not?

If I need SG/SS to catch 'em, I'll probably buy this game new. If not, then I'll wait to get it used.

I'm totally psyched to complete my Pokedex. I'm geeky like that.

My one wish is that they keep the whole Kanto section after completing Johto.

That was so fucking amazing the first time around, being able to revisit all those places from R/B and kick the gym leaders' asses again.

I can't say it's the best.

G/S/C = 100 Hours. And I sold it.

D/P/Plt = 400+ Hours.

Yeah, It's definitely nostalgia and era-sensitive context that have people thinking that G/S/C were actually better games than R/S/E and D/P/Plt, but whatevs. They're all great games, and all similar enough to be considered about equal.

Well if he's present, why wouldn't he be catchable?

This could mean that Johto might actually be the entire world instead of the rather gimped we got in G/S/C.

The wait for an english translation is depressing me. Needs this game now!!! I only hope it gives us Celebi next, its the only Pokemon that hasn't been officially released, or put in a game for the English versions.
