The relaxed pace, internal clock, collectibles, socializing aspect, and the addiction associated with finding (or breeding) new Pokemon are the reasons to buy these versions, not the visual enhancements or the deep, strategic battles. There's a considerable amount of content here, and that's not even counting the extra "mileage" you'll get with the Pokewalker.
While it would have been nice to see the series expand with completely original releases, HeartGold and SoulSilver will keep enthusiasts in the equivalent of Pokeheaven until the inevitable debut of MucusMagenta, DuodenumDusk, or something oddly similar.
Old video games can be ridiculously expensive. Rarity is the common theme among the most expensive titles, no matter how unimpressive the game is.
If you'd like to dwell into your memories of Pokemon Silver and Gold, MegaHouse might just have exactly the figure you need.

"What are the best Pokémon games? The impending launch of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee have got us thinking about the franchise's history. Ranking such awesome games proved a lot more difficult than we first anticipated, given how most of them ended up being crowned as the best games of their particular generation."
"The Cons
* Only four attack choices per creature"
...OH DEAR GOD WHAT BUSINESS DO THEY HAVE REVIEWING THIS GAME?
Thats what bugged me about pokemon 4 attck choices and oh wait i have to make my pokemon forget a move i cant believe i wasted my money on the games. Oh and the lvling dont get me started. the game is not a 10/10 no new pokemon game deserves that only the original.
I hate deleting moves and making tough decisions on which move to delete BUT 4 moves makes the game about strategy. It should stay with 4 moves IMO. They have to bring something new to the next Pokemon game but don't mess with the formula.
Recycled features, or features that worked well so they included them in this version?
GAWD
I have not played the old version of the game will be picking these games up just started playing pokemon platinum its amazing any one know what is the best team and where the hell do i catch pikachu from thanks
