I love the original Gold and Silver, yet these games surpass them in every way. Nintendo truly crafted a perfect game here.

The game features a return to the lush Johto region as you aspire to be the best trainer and to catch 'em all. Team Rocket returns to cause trouble, and old Pokemon return. The game is a brilliant game, with loads of features. The graphics actually look like a DS game, not some GBA game that has some minor touch screen functionality added at the last second. It also has an improved menu and interface.

The little details also matter. You can hear birds chirp in a forest, or waves crashing on the shore at a beach. Little details like that add loads to this game.

The story is pretty mediocre, and the Gym Leaders, Team Rocket Executives, and even the Elite Four pose almost no challenge at all, but this is still a fantastic game in a fantastic series. Nintendo has done it again.

When I first heard that they were releasing Pokemon Heartgold, I knew I had to get it. Pokemon games are like drugs; once you start playing them, youre always wanting more: that was the case with me. So after I got bored playing Pokemon Platinum, I focused my attention to other games (MW2, Fallout 3, etc). But then this game came out, and I once again became an addict. I had started losing intrest in the game and wasnt really caring about it, but I had already reserved it, so I knew I had to get it (otherwise I just wasted money reserving it). Anyway, the game is fantastic. It has that Platinum feel, but it also has the feel of playing a new game. Of course, this game is not new. More than ten years ago Pokemon Gold and Silver were released. And now these games are theyre remixes. Anyway, yeah the game is fantastic. Its not better than Fallout 3, but its still a great game overall. What it does right it does exceedingly well. Of course, in a year, Nintendo is probably going to make a new game that combines both Heartgold and Soulsilver. Of course the highlight of these games is that Ho-Oh and Lugia (two Pokemon only distributed through events or hacked) are the stars of the show, replacing Dialga and Palkia as the mian legendary Pokemon of the game. If you have a DS, than buy this game. Just be warned;its addicting.
