Pokémon HeartGold and Pokémon 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. They were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, and will be released during Spring 2010 in North America and Europe. This is the second pokemon remake, the other being Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. The games will be released on or around the tenth anniversary of the original Gold and Silver. It can be speculated that the mascot for HeartGold will be Ho-Oh and for SoulSilver Lugia, as these were the mascots for the original games. The graphics will be updated for the DS. The game's Starter Pokémon are the same Pokémon from Gold and Silver, and it appears that any Pokémon will follow the player at all times as long as they are at the front of the team, similar to Pokémon Yellow.
[edit] Visuals
The visuals will be in 3D, similar to all incarnations since Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. As per tradition, the top-down view will be retained.
[edit] Gameplay
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player's Pokémon on the head of their team will follow the player around, as if the player is in amity square the entire game, except EVERY Pokémon is able to follow you, from Bulbasaur to Arceus. Also, you can see the following Pokémon's mood by pressing "A" while facing the Pokémon.
It has also been confirmed that there will be a new contest system in which your Pokémon can compete in 10 different challenges.
