Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver feels, at least to me, like a gap filler to make the wait for a new Pokemon game just a little more bearable. Gold and Silver are considered by many to be the best of the Pokemon RPG best, and it's easy to see why after playing this remake: it's still an addictive and fun adventure, fully compatible with all the versions of Pokemon made for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance.

But, yes, it's a remake. Just like FireRed and LeafGreen on GBA, HeartGold and SoulSilver existed already in the Pokemon canon, and obviously the design team didn't work as hard to recreate an existing game as it would have an original experience.

GameFreak did, admittedly, add a bunch of elements to make a purchase worthwhile, both for the double (or triple, or quadrupal) dippers and the newbies. The Pokewalker is the Pokemon equivalent of the free prize inside a cereal box: you might find yourself buying it for the gadget than the game itself, but it's the game itself that contains all the deliciousness.

And what a tasty cereal it is.

And they gave it a 8.5

Thought it was gonna be a 9.
Oh well.

Nice.

Already preordered. My first DS game :)

I'm still trying to figure out how i can work the pokewalker without it showing...

I wonder if i could strap it to the inside of my backpack

1st D.S. game

get a strap and strap it to your leg under your pants.

Yup.

I'm not an handheld fan but I'm a pokemon fan and I can't miss that one.

I used to put my Pokemon Pikachu and the G/S one in my sock while walking (on the side). I'd probably do the same for both of my PokeWalkers.

8.5.. D:

According to IGN, Platinum is still better.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough though.

That concluding cereal analogy is incredibly juvenile and not-that-great for a "professional" review site. But that's just me quibbling with the quality of the writing; unlike a lot of people, I don't have anything against IGN.

Pretty bored by most of the recent pokemon games, but I'm reaaaalllly considering this, because Gold/Silver really are the best. Maybe even though I played through them a bunch of times as a kid, all this time in-between will make them really interesting again? We'll see.
