Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver get pre-order figures photo

Because no one would buy Pokémon HeartGold Version of Pokémon SoulSilver Version without them, Nintendo has announced pre-order incentives for the titles today.

Beginning on February 1, you'll be able to pre-order the titles and receive a special "Legendary Pokémon" figure crafted by Kaiyodo. Pre-order HeartGold, you'll receive a figure of Ho-Oh. Pre-order SoulSilver, you'll get a figure of Lugia. The choice is yours. Or pre-order both, because you gotta catch 'em all. (That's what they say, right?)

Vice President of Sales & Marketing Cammie Dunaway is thrilled about the promotion, calling it a a "way of thanking Pokémon fans of all ages for the enthusiasm and support they have shown for the series." Also, Nintendo wants your money.

Both games hit shelves on March 14 for the Nintendo DS.

Do you get the Arceus figure for pre-ordering both like the Japanese did?

Ho-Oh looks like he's been photographed in the middle of a moment of agony after he's had the mother of all curries the night before.

Lugia's cool though.

Lugia has always been cool, next to Charizard.

So, I guess I'll have Lugia hanging out somewhere in my house in a couple months.

Yes! I hadn't heard anything about this yet, so I had held off on ordering the games, but now I know I can put my money down! I only wish that they'd include the Arceus figure for preordering both.

Dammit dammit DAMMIT! I side with HeartGold, but the weaker thing about that choice is the bird. Lugia is not only cool, but Ho-oh is doofy (what kind of rainbow creature doesn't have colors past green?!), and this is only a stab to mine heart.

No thanks. Those look like diarrhea. And I wouldn't know what to do with them even if I did get one.

I don't care what anyone says. This is fucking AWESOME.

And Ho-oh > Lugia
Psychic types are overrated.

Oh, cool! Looks like I'll be able to get a Ho-oh to go with my Arceus. Apparently the latter was a Black Friday promo at GameStop that even the stores weren't told about...

Lugia is my "dawg". We got some curry just the other day. He's much cooler in person.

Wow those titles are beautiful. I am not a huge fan of Pokemon and other anime movies however I know that my kid is crazy about them. I would definitely purchase one for his birthday which will be soon. Thanks for publishing this article here and showing those pretty things. I will continue reading your website in order to know what kids love nowadays.
