Before there was Pokemon Go, there was the _PokeWalker_
Jay 3.0 I definitely used that thing for MUCH longer thanI had Go downloaded. I would clip it onto my shoe every Wednesday cause that was running day in gym class 😊
@@quinnfarris im so sad i lost mine
@@quinnfarris Go is one of the best Pokemon games though.
@@MrYouarethecancer that's your opinion
@@coffeebreak9148 no shit, the difference is your anime avatar disregards your opinions.
RIP all Pokewalkers which ended up going through the washing machine by accident.
Mine did, but was completely fine. just got a lot of watts,lol.
Mines survived it just had to dry afterwards. Thing is pretty durable.
@@CEDL0W not so durable to my small dog chewing it.
I wanted to come back to the good old times with soul silver and pokewalker after few years....
Same.
Mine survived falling in a toilet twice. It met its fate when an autistic kid ripped it off me and spiked it on pavement :(. Although I probably could repair it now I don't want to risk permanently damaging it
Best Pokémon game ever. Full of content and things to do. A masterpiece
Wouldn't call a horribly balanced game a, "masterpiece". They had an opportunity with the remake to fix the horrendous gym leader/E4 level curve, and they didn't.
I think that issue was mainly caused because they want remakes to be exactly like the original. The same thing happened with FRLG and I mainly say that flaw is because of how they designed remakes at the time. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this was also in ORAS but at least they changed the levels of the Kanto gym leaders. I consider HGSS the best games even though they do have little issues, I wish they kept in all new evolutions and didn’t lock any to post game but I agree they should’ve added new Pokémon to the gyms and E4.
@@TheCynicalJay maybe too hard for u ;)
@@ionlywantedtocomment3895 but it DOES gets boring to grind your team to lvl 50 for the elite 4 unless you have something to do except the main game
@@bhawnasingh5137 Why do you even play pokemon if you dont want to grind ur team? Literally in every main series game u need to grind lol
So many memories, absolutely adore Gen 2
Plumjet09 but the originals were Gen 2. U kno what he meant
i literally came here because your series reminded me of how much i loved heartgold lol
@@MerkhVision but hes wrong its gen 4
KingK Mtso Of course, but they’re remakes of Gen 2 games so it understandable if someone makes that mistake
wow this is the real rumble rumble games I can't believe it
Ho-oH's theme is absolutely glorious and beautiful. It totally conveys the feeling of basking in front of a powerful, noble and godlike creature.
Sofista The Hipsta this is tea its hands down my favourite legendary theme along w/ giratina
*Uses stone edge *
Lugia's great too. It brings to mind the scenes in the Anime and movie where it appears hidden in a waterspout/cyclone.
Pokewalker is about a million times better than the Go Plus, and it CAME with the game.
Jo King IKR

No shit, one was a pedometer with minigames, and the other is just an automatic Pokemon catcher and stop spinner. They're barely comparable.
One game is free. One isn’t.
I remember when this game first came out. I was in college and it was so nice to see a lot of students over there were holding the pokewalkers. Mine I attached to my old schooled phone as a phone charm. Those were so fun. Man..Where did time go? Super nostalgia here. One of my favorite games of the series. I played the original back in 2000 when I was 11 years old. :)
oh wow ^^
These were the best remakes I've ever played! Especially since they added pokemon following outside of their pokeballs. We need that option I'm every game
Glad I got Soul Silver, these games are extremely bloody rare. Here in the U.K., I found a Heart Gold copy for over £60 and that's without the poke walker.
wtf I think I got my copy for 30-45 a few months after release.
biza0vs0goten ... Duh.
I was lucky enough to get my HG for free, as my nephew gave me his copy
Fairly sure its like 80 quid with the walker
Lol really
Kinda wished this video talked about a certain cutscene with Arceus at the Sinjoh Ruins, stil the most eerie moment in Pokemon history.
Island Boy the fact that it used actual photos is weird af
That cutscene is very strange
What, the jumpscare?
At the time that was supposed to be the greatest moment you can experience in a pokemon game ever made, and like he said they were planning on ending the series after HG and SS, I mean holding arceus (the holy God pokemon) and choosing which God pokemon you want they tried to make it as dramatic as possible with the cutscenes, at the the time I thought it was the greatest moment ever, and now replaying it recently i see the odd feel to it
I miss HG and SS. That was a better time in my life.
Rip my pokewalker lol it died to the washing machine with my shiny meganium
press up+select+R in the pokewalker menu.
The game saves a copy of every pokemon sent to the pokewalker. If are unable to return the pokemon properly due to any reason, you can just reset the pokewalker information by pressing up, select and R in the pokewalker menu of the heartgold/soulsilver game. This also gives you back the pokemon
Force it to return to ur game
@@tsubasaplayer16 you have saved my LIFE I lost my pokewalker 9 years ago and never even THOUGHT I could recover my pokemon. Thank you so much 😭😭😭
@@moigjoid260 come back and tell us if it worked for you please
I REALLY hope the gen 4 remakes are as good as heartgold and soulsilver
And include the third game
Mega evolution and z moves are the worst things game freak introduced and they ruin the games for me. It won't be something they will get rid of going forward unfortunately :/
the remakes are only nostalgic because of the gen 4 style of the little characters. modern remakes will look like sword and shield style and will ruin the nostalga and amount of content because "it looks nice so kids will buy it" aproach.
John Flanagan HGSS were just amazing on their own, and had an overload of amazing content
I doubt it
BEST POKEMON GAMES. FIGHT ME!
I didn't want to fight but since you told me to...
Gen 4/Gen 5 best gens.
It's illegal to hit an idiot
Platinum is the best
Platinum says hello
Hey!!! I'm playing SoulSilver right now!!! One of the best Pokemon adventures I've played!!! Feels a bit like revisting home, since FireRed was my first Pokemon game...
These are already 8 year old games... I feel old.
The christmas i got soulsilver is one of my most nostalgiac memories
You're only as old as you feel.
I remember my brother and I walked down to Walmart and bought them brand new. I got soul silver and he got Heart gold. Good times
10 years old, now. Unbelievable
Chocolate Swirl 11* it originally came in Japan in 2009
I was ready to give up on Pokemon and "grow up" but then these games came out and I just had to get them. then I realized that I don't need to give up something I love to grow up. Pokemon kicks ass, I'm 21 but even when I'm 40 I'm still gonna be playing. don't ever compromise who you are or what you love for anything. always do you.
No you're probably 12
@@shadpio6347 Joking are we?
I'm 32 and I still play Pokemon. You are absolutely right, growing up doesn't mean "stop doing kids' stuff" (playing with toys or video games), it means taking responsibility for yourself and learning how to be a better person.
27 and still play pokemon on occasion. Don't care much for gen7's trials. Like the region and pokemon but not the trials
I'm 28, and I still love playing as well.
I'm still a bit puzzled as to why these games are so friggin expensive used. I want to go back to them sometime maybe but damn.
Update: I just got Heartgold for $65, including tax.
The print run was smaller than the other games because they all came with the pokewalker, also they're the best games so of course they're still in high demand
Piracy is your friend
They made limited copies, I believe it's because adding the Pokewalker with each one was too expensive or something so they didn't make nearly as much as other games.
Supply and demand. I own four of these from their release. Under supplied, highly demanded.
I see now...
3:03 2009: Nintendo makes an effort so that all Pokémon are available on a secondary feature.
2019: Nintendo doesn't even bother to put all Pokémon in a main series game.
Now that's a nice 10 year challenge. If Satoru Iwata was still alive he would've never allowed for this to happen.
But there are 700 MORE POKEMON NOW
You can't actually expect them to indefinitely support ALL OF THEM
@@genericwhitemale9566 I see you're being ironic but I'll answer for the sake of the argument: Just like the amount of Pokémon increases, so does the power of their consoles, it's not like we're asking them to put all Pokémon in a GameBoy cartridge after all, especially since the Switch is a home console and it has much more power than any console the main series games have ever been in.
@@BerylliumOxide no you fucking dolt it dosen't matter about console power
They have to create new animations and update the models everytime a new one is made
You cant expect them to do that for 1000 POKEMON every year do you?
@@genericwhitemale9566 yes
GenericWhiteMale they don’t.... They use the same models from 3DS and the animation for 3DS. The new models are your starter Pokémon and the gala region . They tried to make new models for dynamax just to make that excuse.
The leftover pokewalkers were repurposed, recoloured white and green and packaged with Wii Fit U. You use the IR to communicate with the gamepad and send your calories burned to the console, and your new (if any) calorie goal to the pokewalker. It chimes when you've hit certain time goals of continuous movement, and plays a fanfare when you reach your calorie goal for the day. The pokewalker lives on! It's a great little device.
So did everyone else lose their copies and rebuy them years later only to find out they're still expensive as hell?
I got soulsilver from a friend of mine when I lost Heartgold.
Nope, still have both versions, tho I lost one of the pokewalkers.
I managed to find a copy in perfect condition at a Gamestop....at 6:00 PM... on Black Friday. $40 for it, it was an instant buy for me.
Something similar happened to me with Emerald (except that I didn't lose it, rather got it stolen from me) and was the most expensive game I have ever purchased.
Thankfully it was in near mint condition.
Lot of kids did because they’re irresponsible with their possessions
full sail isn't regionally accredited but still costs $50k lmao
$50,000, no way! Did you mean $50? If it's 50k, then I'm wealthy as hell! Thanks!
Full sail is a terrible choice.
There was rumors that they were scamming Students, my dads friend went to Full Sail and he said it’s nothing like they say, I wanted to go to Full Sail until I heard those complaints
@Ainsley Gainsley wonder how much of that is NXT
HH and SS includes all the pokémon in the pokewalker
Sword and Shield don't even do that in the main game.
Proves how lethargic gamefreak has gotten.
Heart Heart and Soul Silver
Hh? Does it mean Heart Heart? Lol
They had less pokemon ma...
Ultra moon was great
I'm so glad I still have my heart gold and soul silver copies
@EDUARDO HERNANDEZ-MEDINA people like you need to stop lol
EDUARDO HERNANDEZ-MEDINA dont be 😂im just sayin lol
EDUARDO HERNANDEZ-MEDINA no, but i do suggest getting a girlfriend or something.
@EDUARDO HERNANDEZ-MEDINA lol
EDUARDO HERNANDEZ-MEDINA Can’t you buy one off on eBay? It’s sometimes cheap there.
Did you know?
It's the best remake in the series.
It's the best game in the series.
Nah, I like BW2 better.
ORAS was pretty good though
David Hower yeah I prefer ORAS. Heartgold and Sousilver may be more true to their originals, but ORAS is more fun to me outside of the post games.
@@benjamimcarvalho0 B2/W2 weren't remakes... they were sequels.
My favorite feature in HGSS was the first Pokemon in your party "following" you outside its Pokeball. For the life of me I don't know why its taken them so long to bring back this feature in a MAIN series title (Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee don't count.)
time constraints to add the feature, animate the sprites for newer mons, fix errors etc.
sprites are more complicated in the more modern games, rending 3d models and the such.Gen 5 i feel was the last gen to do that feature reasonably. These days, its 809+ models with walking animations they'd have to make and cram in with everything else in the game. Would like to have a Lunala follow me around in a game though, not gonna lie.
P
supergeno128ds yes, Let's Go are side games. Glad someone sees the truth. And they're not Yellow remakes either!
i hated that feature in lets go. it made the games feel like spin offs and not the core series. pokemon core should be like Black And White 2. NOT heartgold.
I am in no way surprised that the Ho-Oh battle theme was tough to make, the effort shines through. Gorgeous theme.
HeartGold was my first Pokémon game. I was twelve. I don't think I've ever played through a game as many times as I have with this game. It never gets old.
Its interesting that the composer had issues with Ho-oh and Lugia's theme, but it paid off as they are some of the best in the series.
Many comments saying their first games were HG/SS. C'mon guys, how old are you even? Those games came out like two years ag-
*Oh...*
javidg96 The time just flies by.
My first Pokémon game was Pokemon channel for the gamecube
2 Years Ago ? Heart Gold & Soul Silver Released 2009 in Japan & UK March 2010 lol
I remember them being released. Zach and cody were showing them off on a commercial
@Chandler Kristoff did you know? IT WAS 2010 BOI!
0:31 "Footage by GameGrumps" *instantly walks into wall*
Back when game freak actually cared about the quality of their games
Kenexxa Masuda’s directing was the golden age of Pokémon games
just a channel as of sun/moon, he’s not directing anymore :(
mike hawk I believe James did most of the directing for sun and moon. Honestly the only aspects I appreciated in the game were the battle theme and Hau lol. Hau deserved better
@just a channel Nope it's some other guy who made the trash like USUM. Masuda is working on it but no where nearly as in control, he's taking flak though because they made it seem like his work
Kenexxa Boo Hoo, someone’s salty that Castform isn’t in SwSh
The PokeWalker is the original Pokémon GO.
I feel so lucky that I still have my old copy. These games are expensive.
I have both! :3
I have HG, still trying to track down a SS copy
@Chandler Kristoff My brother gave me his HeartGold because he didn't play Pokemon anymore. I never knew that they would become so expensive.
HeartGold and SoulSilver were my brother's and my first Pokemon games respectively. He chose Cyndaquil, while I chose Chikorita. I was always at a disadvantage because he'd move through the game quicker than I did and would have the stronger starter over mine.
I guess that constant uphill battle is what caused me to invest some time into learning more about the competitive Pokemon scene. When the time came for our inevitable rematch, with my newfound knowledge, I was able to finally defeat him.
Unfortunately, after his loss, he was filled with rage. I offered to explain how he could get better, but he didn't want to hear it and subsequently snapped his DS in half.
After that day, we never battled each other again and both went our separate ways. His HeartGold cartridge serves as a memento of that dark day.
So yeah, these games have memories attached to them...as I'm sure they have with you too.
I’ve owned HeartGold since the day it came out, recently been looking for a full boxed SoulSilver and oh my god, it’s crazy expensive. Usually starting around $150 AUD (then there’s postage which is over $10), what’s even crazier is that on eBay I found a full boxed Japanese version of SS that was cheaper than most of the English games.
Yeah I still have my HG copy. It was the sole reason I bought a DS Lite back then, as I couldn't emulate it properly on my PC and I also wanted to have/use the PokéWalker!
"found in a muddy puddle" "improved to withstand water" My mom washed my pokewalker with the laundry... it died...
Oof
Well I mean there's also the fact it's being violently thrashed around
I mean one thing is to get it wet on accident than being washed like dirty clothes
try doing up+select+r in the menu
I once washed an og copy of pokemon blue and found it at the bottom of the washer. It still worked perfectly. Idk, 90s nintendo was built to last.
Generation IV is objectively the best. It introduced Wifi communication and bolstered the Pokemon competitive scene. Sure it did not have the same impact as gen I and II in popular culture, but as a set of games, it is still the best mainly due to HGSS. HGSS have everything you can want from a Pokemon game at that time: Pokemon following you, Battle frontier, and Two region to explore. It improves from its predecessor, GSC so much, and this is already considering how good GSC was. The only thing I can think of what GEN II has over HGSS, is the fact that Gold and Silver is compatible to the original gameboy, a trait that is extremely rare nowadays. Gen IV without HGSS isn't as good as the other generations if we think about it so that should give you an idea just how good HGSS is. Heart Gold and Soul Silver are Gamfreaks's masterpiece.
Gen 5 would be the best gen if gen 3 remakes happened that would of been sick
@@charlesparde9388 Agreed. Gen III remakes shoud've been part of gen 5 not 6.
3 > 4 > 5 > 2 > 1 > 6 > 7
1.2nd gen (16 gyms and most epic last battle)
2. 3rd gen (bold graphics update that defined the outlook of 1-3 gen mons)
3. 4th gen because of slow pace especially in battles. Otherwise it would go 2nd
@@jaanoboss Just No. The most epic battle is definetly Ghetsis in BW1, he has a fucking choir singing his name, has EXTREMELY high stakes, and uses a fucking Heighdreigon.
3rd gen is mediocre at best tbh, the visuals are basically just a less detailed gen 4
I enjoy gen 4, but they are so god damn slow and D/P/P are so fucking indirect
Gen 5 is no. 1 lmao
So one day i lost my Pokewalker and i found it 2 years later but it wouldn't turn on......
Long story short to this day Bonsley is forever trapped inside my Pokewalker.
You could still get a new battery for it.
It probably needs a battery replacement. Not sure if it will save Bonsley. I feel sad for your cute little rock/tree but it’s a better Pokégrave than a reset game or left in a PC box.
You can recall it to the cartridge. There's a failsafe esque feature for if you lose the poke Walker
Press F to pay respect
My totodile is stuck in mine :(
It's disappointing that you guys would choose to advertise Full Sail University in one of your videos. To me, DidYouKnow has a very solid and credible reputation as a quality content producer, but advertising for Full Sail diminishes that. Full Sail is a for-profit University, many of which have been known to scam students, provide lackluster education, and charge overwhelming tuition and interest rates. Full Sail participates in this as well. Advertising them is only increasing their presence, when in fact we should be speaking out against them, as for-profit schools only aim is to make as much money as they can from uninformed college students without regard for consequences or what happens to the students.
As a previous student, I full heartedly agree.
I'm a student at Full Sail, so I have some insight to this. Full Sail accepts most students with little regard to their High School GPA. Because of this, there are plenty of students that start their degree at Full Sail, then drop out, already having lost a lot of money. That's definitely an issue and one we should be working on. However, you're misrepresenting the positives of Full Sail. For people who go and complete the work, create projects that will get them noticed by the industry they want to enter, and network with other students, faculty members, and professionals, it's one of the best places you can find. The classes aren't what I would call "lackluster." In fact, they're pretty damn intensive since students only take a particular class for four weeks.
The negatives of Full Sail are there and you're mostly accurate, but it's pretty clear to see that it's not a scam and that students that put in the effort have plenty of opportunity to get into their desired career.
Tech Crew Guy Full Sail is terrible; it's a 'university' that's only partly recognized and charges hilarious fees. Also, it's an online university, which just always is a red flag.
I'm saying this as a guy that's not anywhere near from the US.
Tech Crew Guy "they're pretty damn intensive since students only take a particular class for four weeks." That's not a university, that's a f**king summer course. Sweet Christmas US higher education is stupendously f**ked up.
There is ALWAYS someone defending Full Sail university when it gets slammed into the ground and they always have wacky names with no avatars with little or no content. It's hard to not say "hired knights" or bots.
This remake was my first pokemon game, and I remember going to run with friends to make steps on the pokewalker
I remember saving up money to buy soul silver when I was 9 on launch day! It’s easily one of the biggest games of my childhood and will always hold a special place in my love for video games.
I love the PokeWalker. It is amazing.
Soulsilver was my first series game, and I got the Pokewalker Bundle, still got the original file and walker!
(EDIT) I keep it in one of those cartridge protector things, you know, those little plastic squares that hold up to 3 games?
you can lose your pokemon on them tho sadly if you lose the device.
Bryce Mckenzie lost mine a while ago, rip my marshtomp
Lost mine almost immediately XD
@@ziaq2779 I lost it somewhere :(((
HG/SS are one of the best games in the series ever pretty happy you guys did this video. But I do hope a Diamond and Pearl video will come out
Unless you take the goggles off and start noticing all the flaws it didn't fix from the originals.
V-jes flaws like what exactly?
Acetalos - Bad level scaling, stingy xp, chikorita still being simply bad, still not being able to just fly between Kanto and Johto for no reason, roaming legendaries and lot of the Johto pokemons still aren't very good or you can only get those way too late into the game.
V-jes well i never liked chikorita simply because it just looked basic imo. But I can agree with you on the going to johto to kanto problem the rest I have no problem with
Acetalos - that you can ignore a problem or doesn't bother you doesn't mean the issues don't exist.
You guys missed a bit of trivia which I expected to appear:
On release date, the Netherlands and Belgium (the Flemish side of Belgium at least) had faulty cartridges being distributed, causing them to give a save file related error despite the absence of it, rendering the game playable. It could've been a faulty version of the game they tried to get rid of, but instead got in hands with the distributor of both the Netherlands and Belgium, causing those English defect copies to get into stores. Nintendo even published a press release, stating the release in the Netherlands and the Dutch/Flemish part of Belgium has been delayed.
One thing though: Most people refer the faulty games as Dutch translations, but that's simply incorrect as the Netherlands nor Belgium got any Dutch Pokémon games. No Pokémon mainline title has ever been translated to Dutch, despite of the Dutch dub of the anime series (this has to do with that most children shows in the Netherlands (Belgium too I think) are translated to Dutch instead of kept in English.)).
You'd think that sort of problem would make the game unplayable. Why'd they get recalled if they were playable?
@@GabePuratekuta They were not playable. From what I remember, upon boot up you got the 'Save Data not working' message, rendering the game unplayable.
That's an interesting piece of information, thanks for sharing!
@@aikou2886 You're welcome! That piece of trivia always stuck with me (especially as I got an UK copy imported by the Dutch toy store to get the game earlier IIRC, haha) and it disappoints me to see Bulbapedia having incorrect information reported about it (yet I can't correct said news report). I thought it would be important to rectify the false information in some way, while sharing the news with others
I saw SPLAAAART the pikachu from the gamegrumps fire red Play through. Awesome.
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
Time stamp please
wait, the gen 2 remakes try to crash constantly if they detect they're running on an emulator? that might explain why they're the glitchiest pokemon games i've ever emulated, constantly lagging and having sprite issues that lead to unrecoverable black screens...
Yes
It works just fine for me
Johnny Arredondo Maybe now, but not years before, dumbass. You realize that after 11 years, they’d figure a workaround.
At the time, Pokemon Platinum on emulator worked no problem. Pokemon HG/SS always had issues, whats worse, if you saved while the visual glitches were already at work, you lost your save file forever.
this is because of Anti piracy methods created to prevent the game.
proper emulators and flashcards get through this
ur emulator or pc succcc
My first Pokémon games. What an entry to start with. One of the best pairs in the franchise.
Lazasun it was also my first game even though my brother had his own games and I had a general idea about the concept of pokemon when I got that game I was so happy and expected every region to be just like this
Same
Agreed.
Heart gold and Soul Silver are definitely my all time favorite Pokémon games. I remember how happy I was when I finally convinced my parents to let me import Soul Silver before the games came out in the states.
Oh how I wish the modern games were this good
They are. Put down your attitude and you'll see it.
@@thevenom2731 they are not
@@thevenom2731 As someone who enjoyed sw/sh and us/um, they are most definitely not as good
@@louiepikmin3184 ok maybe not as good as Heartgold and Soulsilver and gen 5, but definitely as good as most of the others.
@@himankdayal7013 you only say that because you grew up with the older games.
I accidentally dropped my pokewalker in a toilet and it still worked.
I accidentally dropped my pokewalker in a toilet, shidded and farded on it and it still worked.
The PokeWalker is one of the best gimmicks to come out of a Pokemon game. It's so cool taking a Pokemon with me on a walk, espcially a Legendary Pokemon. Shame the battery in mine died, but I can replace it. I think.
Yes, you can replace it. You just need a really tiny screw driver and the same kind of battery. You can find those batteries pretty easily, and the screw driver should'nd be too hard to find either.
Too bad my sister lost the Pokewalker.
@@gaspardsavoureux8680 too bad my dog had fun chewing it.... Right when i wanted to return to the games with the walker, after few years.
yes mate mines been thru 3 batteries
This game is my favourite in the series, I have so many memories playing soulsilver
Anti-Piracy measures never work out, people always figure a way around them.
Developers do expect the anti-piracy to be eventually worked around, but that’s not the point of making them. Most games are sold the most in the first week or so of its release. Anti-piracy measures aren’t meant to last so much as they are meant to stall for time and keep pirates busy until the initial sales are over. Nobody would buy your game if pirates could sell it for cheap- or free- the moment it came out.
Sorry, had to pause my HG version on phone emulator to comment. Lol
Doesn't mean they shouldn't be implemented.
@@professionalfangster1510
Any anti-piracy measure that inconveniences the person who bought it is a net loss because it makes the pirated version the superior version.
I remember the Pokewalker. I used to attach it to my friend's kid and let him run around.
I see you are a problem solver. :)
iprovise adapt overcome
@Dad_Shoes You're a genius
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
HEART GOLD AND SOUL SILVER ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE POKÉMON GAMES! THE BEST GAMES!
WORST GAMES :P
Black and White 2 are my favorites. But man, does Heartgold and Soulsilver come really darn close.
Generation 2 will always be the best generation to me. I still remember the first time I discovered that Kanto was in the game and that I could fight the previous gym leaders from Pokémon Yellow! I love this franchise so much and Pokémon Gold/Heart Gold will always have a special place in my heart.
What good games they are. I've replayed countless times and most likely will continue. I remember riding my bike up to gamestop with my neighbor and he got SS and I got HG. Good times man..
I used to have one of these pocket Pikachu things. Sadly I lost it. Now they are expensive as hell.
ho-oh’s theme sounded crazy when i first heard it. compared to the rest of the game’s ost
I absolutely LOVED Pokemon SoulSilver. It had so many cool features that I really think could have been implemented into newer games. Just think, in ORAS you could have a Torchic follow you! How cool would that be? I still play SS for memories and because it's my third favorite Pokemon game of all time.
I still remember trying to fake walking with my friends to cheat the Pokewalker but that thing just wouldn't get fooled.
SoulSilver has to be my favorite Pokémon title. I haven't been that obsessed with a Pokémon game since.
Sad too see how times have changed...
2009: you get a game filled with features and a pretty accurate pokeball pedometer packed in for 40€
2018 : you get a game with missing features for 60€ and a pokeball with a stick, separately, for 10€ higher than the older games used to cost.
It's a spinoff, OF COURSE there won't be every damn feature. It's to welcome GO players into the actual franchise.
@@leonard3667 the only people that still play pokémon go (at least the 90%) are the hardcore fans who also play the mainline games. So this game is made for the 10%?
Also, that's a bad way to introduce them to the series. Gen 1 did not had natures, abilities, items, breeding etc and people call them broken, unbalanced and dated.
Sir Turtle Gamefreak literally confirmed it in one of their recent interviews that the Let’s Go games are part of the MAINLINE GAMES. Stop using the excuse that they’re spinoffs because that doesn’t hide the fact that these games are mediocre cashgrabs
@@RJ-mi3ck
Where did you hear that the Lets Go games are mainline?
@@RJ-mi3ck well, to his defense, gamefreak themselves don't know what these games truly are, so how should we know? One moment they say it's mainline, the other they say it's a spin off.
At the end of the day it's just a big let down if you consider what gamefreak used to make and what the switch is capable of.
Soul silver was my favorite Pokémon game. It has a special place in my heart after the endless childhood nights and no home work getting done days.
Great vid yo! It makes these games look even more apealing. I was in awe about alot of the stuff in this vid. And it was spoken about in such a good way by Daz. Gosh dang i gotta play this game + the pokewalker someday.
One of my favorite games from the ds era i just wish the resale value wasnt so high so i could buy another copy
Why tf are they telling us the music sounds similar but not putting audio clips for proof. Smh
copyright. Nintendo would flag the video.
@@TheJamesStacey yeah cause they're not using the battle music the whole video 😑
These games are amazing! One of my favorite games. I was lucky enough to never get rid of mine when I bought them as a kid. I didn’t know they’d be so rare now days. Great video!
Heartgold and Soulsilver will always be my favorites in the series!
I wish this game was more accessible because your going to have to pay a arm and a leg if you want to get this game now. I guess it just goes to show how popular this game is
Poison I got mine out of a dumpster
I know yet the dog versions are cheaper
Great video! I love Heartgold and Soulsilver!
Since I got it at 12 years old, Soulsilver has been my all-time favorite video-game. I will never tire of it.
I have binged every pokemon video on this channel the last few days
I haven't seen the video yet, but I just want to say that HGSS is such a nostalgic game for me. I played pokemon gold for the first time when I was ~5 years old. Then later, when I was about 11 years old, I bought this game. It kind of solidified the nintendo fanboy inside of me.
Soul silver and heart gold is in my personal opinion the best remake, and best pokemon game to date. No other game reaches that level of goodness.
It actually isn't a remake, it takes place a few years after Pokemon Crystal, which is why Tin Tower has an extra floor and was renamed to Bell Tower (if you want to count the comics as canon then Tin Tower actually collapsed and was rebuilt as Bell Tower)
@@craidsaber5986, why would difficulty mode matter, Black and White 2 is a sequel anyway?
silver souls, hearts of gold, having fun never gets old
2019 anyone?
HG/SS is already a decade old. I know its a remake, but it sure could use another remake for the Switch hehe.
Gen 2 for me was the best, you can't change my mind.
That be awesome
Shut up nerd
@@joshuarichard6827 says the guy who looks like a complete boomer lmao
I think this is the first time I've heard someone acknowledge the existence of the Heartgold/Soulsilver protagonists. Or at least one of them.
70% of those pokewalkers we're ran through a laundry machine.
I put mine on the wire on the wheel of my bike,and I just spinning it while I play other things
Bro thats too honest lol
Yup.
Hey as someone who works with unity quite a bit, finding source code/assets from older projects is super common; especially with small teams. Rather than start from scratch most dev teams just start with all of the old files and work from there. I imagine gamefreak wanted to clean out this stuff, but some software engineer forgot it was there.
Of all the remakes, this hit me home the hardest. The nostalgia factor is strong and the amount of fun features added to it made me consider this to be the best Pokémon game ever. I never cried so much out of nostalgia on a video game as much as this one.
The only thing that I wish could have been better in HG/SS was when after you defeat the pokemon League for the first time and go to kanto that the wild pokemon were upped to your level and increased per area instead of being what they were in the original. I feel they should have been 40-50s and Mt. Silver should have been 50-60s instead of finding level 2-20 max. All the trainers were at your level but, not wild pokemon. Besides that the games were amazing!
If you like that then check out the rom hacks storm silver and sacred gold by drayano60
If they did that, then it would be practically impossible to evolve some of the wild Pokémon you'd encounter.
Re-Exo how do you figure that it would be impossible to evolve some wild pokemon?
@@metalmario1231 Most Pokémon require a specific level to evolve. Though, if they are past that level they won't evolve until levelling up a little later (not sure how it's decided when a Pokémon will attempt to evolve again). So you could theoretically get a level 65 Pokémon that has 2 evolutions that evolves the first time at, like, 80 and then reaches 100 without evolving again. Though this issue doesn't really matter as long as the Pokémon can be bred.
Re-Exo Um, no they don't require a specific level. If you caught a unevolved pokemon whose level was past their evolition level, the next time you level it up, it will evolve again. It would only become impossible to evolve them if they remains unevolved when they reach level 100.
_”Ichinose had to tone down the peacefulness”_
Interesting choice of words.
You didn't...
I've never been so happy to see an ad! I plan on going to Full Sail
Wait a second. 2:43. Is that a shot from the Game Grumps run of Fire Red? Splaart!!!!
Wow i was litterally playing heartgold when i saw this notification
I was metaphorically playing soul silver when i saw
I lost my Heart Gold... :(
Glad I'm not the only one
Same
MetallicDX soulsilver here
I wish I still had my PokeWalker. It survived one ride in the washing Machine but not a second one...
Omg I remember having the Pokéwalker. It was the pre-Pokémon go. I loved mine.
Those animations at the title screen think at the time mind-blowing
Aw Pokemon Heartgold and SoulSilver. The good shit. I wish we had a vastly expanded pokedex
I remember when I had the pokewalker, instead of walking outside I just kept walking around my kitchen and my mom would just question my stupiditiy LOL
You could have just tilted it on your hand you know?
These were my first Pokemon games. They're still my favourites!
Awesome piece of content. Keep up the great work! :))
Glad that I still have my copy of Soul Silver with the PokéWalker... though I really need to get a new battery for it, because I think I left an old event Celebi on that thing.
fireassassin123 same! :D
You can recover your pokemon without needing to use the pokewalker.
I really want to see the concept of your Pokemon walking with you return in future games.
Well, it's in Let's Go, hopefully that's a good sign for the permanent return of follower Pokemon.
@@Sensiav703 let me reword this person's comment
"I want to see following Pokemon return in a real game"
@@ksquidplaysminecraft And your point is...? There's a decent chance that it'll become a permanent feature in the main series seeing as they bothered to put it in Let's Go. Or is that not something worth considering for some reason?
Sensia v7.03 Nothing about Let's GO is worth considering. It's literally half a Pokemon game.
@@ksquidplaysminecraft So what, you'd rather have follower Pokemon never return just because it was in Let's Go or something? Your argument makes little sense.
SoulSilver was my first full Pokemon experience. So many good memories. I used to sneak my Pokewalker to elementary school to battle with my friends at recess. Later my family and I took a road trip to Houston and when we were eating in a restaurant someone broke into our car and stole a bunch of bags including the one my white DSi was in. Never got around to buying it again and have missed it since. Maybe nostalgia is making me biased but no other Pokemon has replaced the experience of playing this game yet.
7:39 1. I remember that photo album for some reason and 2. I remember sending the capsule to my Pokémon Black version and getting the move Snarl.
Gen 4 as a whole is the high point of this franchise.
Gen 5 is the popular option but Gen 4 was truly the best. true fans know it
@jason savchuk gen 4 has heartgold which is probably "gen 2" in your mind. sinnoh alone was amazing. combine that with kanto and johto and you have perfection. a region on its own unova is probably the best but thats not how gens work.
I can’t even count on how may times I’ve reset this game to play it again.
One of the only Pokémon games I went back to, after completing, over and over again
If there’s one thing I’d complain about, it’s the absence of the original game corner. Not because I wanted to play the slot machines, but because I could more easily get the coins I needed by buying them at the service counter.
The Voltorb Flip game might not have been so bad if it didn’t make players go back to the very beginning after just one slip up.
