That Gaming Site: Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver Review

That Gaming Site writes: "Heart Gold and Soul Silver are without a doubt the strongest Pokemon sequels to date bringing all the best aspects that the series has introduced in the last ten years. There's room for improvement but few games will offer you such a refined and open-ended experience like this. Be prepared to loose your life to Pokemon once again!"

Haven't played a Pokemon game since Blue so I think I might use Gold/Silver as a opportunity to jump back on the bandwagon.

raiden_935174d ago

Now is the time, especially if you haven't played any since Red and Blue, this will feel like a much bigger step up for you. Not so much for those who've been more faithful!

Rush5174d ago (Edited 5174d ago )

Lol yeah Nintendo hasn't changed the magic formula much. I don't think any other game could get away with so little progress other the years and still review so highly.

Seriously when they made Pokemon Red and Blue they basically earned the right to print money right there and then.

Don't think I have really played one since gold either but I don't really find them all that fun nowa days.

Blaze9295174d ago

Haven't played a Pokemon game since Ruby version. I gave up when I realized I'm never going to "Catch them all"

Elven65174d ago

Same here, I caught onto the "buy multiple games + the transfer cable to catch em all" trick and stopped right after that. I think Blue was the worst since it had the least amount of Pokemon in it. I hope things have changed on the DS, at least Wifi is used now?

joystick5555174d ago

my character got stuck into misty and she was clingy so he drowned his pokemon and moved away so i dont play anymore

SpoonyRedMage5174d ago

Yer the objective isn't really catch them all anymore and in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum it counts how many Pokémon you've seen not caught.

Of course the presence of online trading as made it much simpler but it's still incredibly difficult to "catch them all".

Redempteur5174d ago

i've played BLUE , GOLD , DIAMOND , BATTLE REVOLUTION

While i think this opus is very ell done with some welcome change only the most hardcore fan will spot , nintendo way concerning pokemon is weird in my eyes ..

PHG is a great game no doubt but i wonder if something else couldn't have be done /made instead of this ..

Ace, really looking forward to picking this up next week :)

raiden_935174d ago

The game is out this week in the US and on the 26th in Europe ;)

Sigh5174d ago

Gonna get SoulSilver soon, ahhh the nostalgia :)

Wolf8735174d ago

picking up Silver version. Don't know why I find Pokemon games so interesting even after having played Red, Sapphire, & Diamond. I hate the anime and the cards but something about the video-games that just draws you in.

Erasing Another Player’s Pokémon File: An Issue I Didn’t Expect

Brandon of Mammoth Gamers recently purchased a used copy of Pokémon SoulSilver. Before he started his journey through the second generation, he came across another player's file and had an unexpected problem hit him.

Sometimes you just need to move ahead and erase old game saves.

Lon3wolf2105d ago

Indeed especially when it is someone else's save files on a cartridge that they have sold on.

PhoenixUp2106d ago

This won’t be an issue on Switch when you can have one save file per account, meaning players can finally abuse the trading system

WeedyOne2105d ago

You really shouldn't give a shit about another gamer's save file on a used game you purchased... While its fun to walk in another's shoes for a bit you shouldn't feel guilty about erasing the save file. I mean if they cared about the time invested and keeping the save file i'm sure they would not have sold the game for pennies on the dollar to a used game store. Please wipe the save and start your own adventure. Game on!

franwex2105d ago (Edited 2105d ago )

I bought a used Final Fantasy Tactics for the Gameboy Advance and it has a save file of about 300 hours in it.
I feel guilty about deleting that file, luckily I can start my own separate one. I am hoping once I do and beat the game and compare my party to the previous player's and see what we did differently.

Why We're Still Playing Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

NL:
With each new generation of Pokémon, the overall number of Pokémon in the National Dex has climbed far beyond the original 151. Obviously, Pokémon has been spread over multiple generations of hardware, and this has further made it more difficult to "catch 'em all". On the Game Boy Advance, Game Freak began a method of alleviating this somewhat with remakes of the first generation games, giving gamers a more streamlined method of collecting the original Pokémon. This was continued on the DS with remakes of the second generation of games, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Best games in the series to be honest.

Flare1492996d ago

Because if you play it like I do and are constantly adding newly caught Pokemon to your lineup it takes an eternity? Thank goodness for EXP share in the later games haha
