Pokemon SoulSilver, HeartGold coming Spring 2010 photo

To no one's surprise, Nintendo has announced that more Pokémon titles will be making their way to the Nintendo DS. Prepare yourself -- Pokémon SoulSilver and Pokémon HeartGold will be available in the United States and Europe in the spring of 2010. 

So what's new in SoulSilver and HeartGold? Well, uh... it brings players back to the Johto region introduced in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver. With updated graphics, and touch screen functionality. Like Pokémon Platinum Version, but with more heart... and soul. Right. 

You can train and capture that Pokémon up there, whose name escapes me. But it looks like he's farting, which is funny because I'm immature. You see it, too. Don't lie.

At least it isn't called Pokemon Amethyst or Iridium.
But really? Soul Silver? Heart Gold?

None of you have any right to complain as THIS IS FREAKIN' GOLD AND SILVER AMAGAD

Also, you can get any of your Pokémon to follow you around. How is that not a day one buy? :D

You know what they need to do (read: I want them to do) with Pokemon.

Throw it all out, burn everything that has come before, start again.

Too many different versions of the same game, too much bullshit and baggage.

Cut out the ridiculous names as well 'HeartGold', 'SoulSilver' LOL

It's not going to happen of course.

I didn't see the farting until you mentioned it, honestly.

And maybe it's just me, but the SoulSilver logo looks like an actual hear.

Yeah! Pokemon is AWESOME! People says I should be to old to play it but those same people think I'm too old to play videogames. I'm just going to sit here and cry at the greatness now.

fuck yea! i used to dig the gold.silver series so much back in the day. played the japanese import of gold when it came out and became the envy of my nerdy fuckin 12 year old friends in 6th grade. dumped probably 40-50 hours on US gold version and crystal versions. crystal probably goes down as one of my all time favorite games.

never really care about pokemon nearly as much after those games. really lookin forward to see how these remakes hold out.

Now for the depressingly long wait where I check serebii.net every single day for new info. Pokemon is still one of the only games I'll actually buy for full price (or more if I have to) on the first day. I can't bloody wait!

You know what, I know this is just shameless milking of a ridiculously popular franchise, but I'm going to buy it anyways. Damn you, Nintendo. :[

Gold and Silver = win. I'm glad Nintendo are remaking those games on the DS.

I know a few people are complaining about lack of innovation, but Gold and Silver were easily the high points of the series. Updating them with all the latest additions is pretty awesome, and I can't wait. After this, though, I'd like to imagine that Nintendo might reinvent the way they make Pokemon games. Also, I don't think we really need to see an eventual remake of Ruby and Sapphire - they were good, but not as classic as the other games that got remakes.

Yes! Finally a release date I can't wait to get this game it's going to be so amazing. Gold and Silver are easily the best pokemon and Platinum was amazing so this should be pretty epic.

Unfortunately I do not have a Nintendo DS, I'll buy those games the moment they are ported to all other platforms.
