  • Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver serve as a terrific reminder of why the original Gold and Silver versions are considered masterpieces: even though the core mechanics are in need of an evolution, these lovingly crafted remakes tout completely new artwork, incredible sound editing, DS touch-screen features, and a massive quest that will take you all the way from Johto's scenic cities to quiet old Pallet Town. Add in the ingenious PokeWalker, and it's clear that this is a perfect experience for both old-school trainers and the newest generation of Pokemon fans.
