Pokémon HeartGold (ポケットモンスター ハートゴールド, Poketto Monsutā Hātogōrudo, “Pocket Monsters HeartGold”) and
Pokémon SoulSilver (ポケットモンスター ソウルシルバー, Poketto Monsutā Sōrushirubā, “Pocket Monsters SoulSilver”) are enhanced remakes of the 1999 video games
Pokémon Gold and
Silver. The new titles are members of the
Pokémon series of role-playing games, and were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS.
The game was released 12 September 2009 in Japan, and 4 February 2010
in South Korea, and is scheduled for a 14 March 2010 release in North
America, 25 March 2010 in Australia, and 26 March 2010 in Europe.
GameplayHeartGold and
SoulSilver were commercially
successful in Japan, selling over 2 million units within the first six
weeks of their release. Initial reception to the game has been positive.
HeartGold and
SoulSilver allows a Pokémon that the
player owns to follow him or her in-game on the overworld. The player
may talk to the Pokémon, and occasionally it may pick up certain items.
A new minigame called the Pokéathlon (called Pokéthlon in Japan) has
also been introduced. The game utilizes theNintendo DS touchscreen and allows Pokémon to compete in events such as hurdling.
The
games are bundled with a peripheral called the Pokéwalker, a pedometer
that resembles a Poké Ball which can connect to the Nintendo DS game
card via infrared signals (in a fashion similar to another Nintendo DS
game
Personal Trainer: Walking)
and can “hold” a Pokémon. Walking with a Pokéwalker holding a Pokémon
increases both its experience and closeness, as well as the player’s
“watts,” an in-game currency that can be used to catch wild Pokémon and
shop for items. Despite the device being included with every game,
Nintendo announced that the games would carry standard pricing (around
¥4,800 in Japan). The Pokéwalker can only hold one Pokémon at anytime,
and the Pokémon can only be sentto the game it was taken from.
HeartGold and
SoulSilver can access the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and are also fully compatible with
Pokémon Diamond,
Pearl, and
Platinum. After completing a special Wi-Fi mission download on Pokémon Ranger: Path of Light, the player can send a Deoxys to
HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Plot and settingHeartGold and
SoulSilver take place in the Johto region as in
Pokémon Gold and
Silver. In the second half of the main storyline, players can also go to the Kanto region.
Development, marketing, and releaseAn initial rumor started in early May 2009 that Nintendo was planning a remake of
Pokémon Gold and
Silver after the Japanese television show
Pokémon Sundayended by announcing a “world-exclusive first announcement” that would
be made on its next show. Kris Pigna of 1UP.com speculated that this
alluded to a possible remake of
Gold and
Silver for the Nintendo DS,
due to gold and silver disco balls hanging in the background. Pigna
further reasoned that this would be consistent with the previously
released titles
Pokémon FireRed and
LeafGreen which were enhanced remakes of the original
Pokémon Red and
Blue.
[13] Several days later, Nintendo officially confirmed the fact that
Gold and
Silver were being remade as
HeartGold and
SoulSilver and released their official logos. They also announced that the games
would contain numerous updates, although declined to reveal any
specifics. It was released for the Nintendo DS on 12 September 2009 in
Japan to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the original
Gold and
Silver release.
[15] Junichi Masuda stated on his blog that “we, Game Freak have spent long and firm time developing above two titles [
sic]“, and that “”Pokémon Gold & Silver” will be back with far more excitement.”
At the 2009 Pokémon World Championships, Nintendo stated that
HeartGold and
SoulSilverwould be released in North America between the months of January and
March, Europe sometime around May and June, and Australia in April.
J.C. Smith, a spokesperson for the company, gave the announcement at
the start of the event; saying, “Announcing these much-anticipated game
launches at The Pokémon World Championships allows us to give the news
directly to the legions of fans who represent the true heart and soul
of Pokémon.” The official Pokémon website in English was updated with
information about the new titles, telling readers that the games would
feature revamped audiovisual effects, interaction with the DS touch
screen, and more “surprises”. From February 27 to March 13, 2010, video
game retailer GameStop hosted a promotion in which players of
Pokémon Diamond,
Pearl, or
Platinum could use the games’ “Mystery Gift” feature to download a free Jirachi to their game. Trading this Jirachi to
HeartGold or
SoulSilverunlocks the exclusive “Night Sky’s Edge” route on the Pokéwalker. A
“Pikachu colored Pichu” can be downloaded using WI-fi as well from
March 5th until March 25th the unlocks a “Spiky-eared Pichu”. It could
also have been downloaded from Janurary 30th to Feburary 14th at
Gamestop.
SoundtrackNintendo DS Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver Music Super Complete(ニンテンドーDS ポケモン ハートゴールド&ソウルシルバー ミュージック・スーパーコンプリート) is a three-disc
soundtrack featuring music scored by Junichi Masuda. The album was
released in Japan on October 28, 2009.
ReceptionIn response to the news confirming the development of
HeartGold and
SoulSilver,
fans posted their reactions and commentary on the Internet. In
particular, IGN editor Jack DeVries reasoned that the primary reason for
the updated games was to be compatible with
Pokémon Diamond and
Pearl,
allowing players to collect old Pokémon species that were previously
unobtainable in the new games. He also expressed skepticism that the
new titles could match the quality of the originals; stating, “For me,
Gold/Silver were amazing because they introduced so many new features
that have since become standards for the series. It was the first, and
only, time the Pokémon games have made such a significant expansion.
These days we’re lucky if we get a new feature that invisibly changes
the strategic elements of the game.” He reminisced over the qualities
that made
Gold and
Silver truly unique, including
the full color support, internal clock, Pokémon breeding, and PokéGear.
Several months later, after DeVries had played through some of the
game, he wrote, “so far I like what I see, even if it all feels very
familiar and formulaic at this point.”
In Japan, the games sold 1,480,980 units within the first two days of release, topping the Japanese sales chart
that week. Within two weeks, the games had sold a combined total of
over two million units. As of December 18, 2009, the games have sold
over 3,228,000 copies.
Japanese gaming magazine
Famitsu awarded the games an aggregate score of 37 out of 40 based on
four individual reviews, of which the ratings were 9, 10, 9, and 9. The
reviewers praised the games for retaining much of the quality that drew
them to the original
Gold and
Silver. The only
drawback mentioned was that the games brought “no major surprises”. The
games were given a score of 94% by Official Nintendo Magazine.
Initial response to the game from English media outlets has been
overwhelmingly positive. GameObserver awarded the game a score of 100%,
the first ever perfect score awarded to any game by the site, and
called it “the greatest handheld game ever created.”
