[b] What are Pokemon Heart gold and Soul silver? [/b]
They are a remake of pokemon Silver, Gold, and Crystal versions. You know, the ones you played when you were 8 out on the sidewalk and just begging to get that ho-oh from your friend because you had silver version.
[b]What is the story of Heart gold and soul silver?[/b]
It's been three years after pokemon Red and Blue, (Leaf green and fire red if you didn't play the orginals.) And Team Rocket is back trying to send out radio waves to control all the wild pokemon in the Johto region. Your character (Ethan is default for Male, Lyra is default for Female) must stop team rocket while going on his orginal quest to become a pokemon master by beating all 8 gyms and the elite four. Along the way you will encounter "Kimono Girls" These girls will ask you for help. Once you help all 5 and have beaten the last gym leader, you will battle them. Once you beat them they take you to the place where Ho-oh (If heart gold is being played) Or Lugia (if soul silver is being played) are coming to arrive with the help of a certain item you will obtain.
[b] But pokemon is for little kiddddddssssssss![/b]
Get the fuck out.
[b]What are the starting pokemon?[/b]
Chikorita, Totadile , Cyndaquill
[b] I really like Lugia, but I'm such a non-conformist asshole I'm going to buy heart gold, can I still catch Lugia?[/b]
Yes! Since this is also a remake of crystal, you can catch both in either game. If you are playing soul silver, you need to get to Pewter city in Kanto first to get the item that makes Ho-oh appear. If you are playing Heart gold, do the same thing!. :siren:[b] THE LEGENDS ARE AT LEVEL 70 IF THEY ARE NOT YOUR GAMES MASCOT, SO BE PREPARED!!!!![/b]:siren:
[b] What the fuck is the pokewalker?[/b]
The pokewalker is a device that comes with a purchase of soul silver or heart gold. It's basically a step counter that you can use to catch wild pokemon, or level up your current ones.
Here is what it looks like:

That's all for now. Thanks for reading the thread.
:siren: IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, PM ME:siren:
ATTENTION: If you have the game, post the legends you have caughten WITHOUT a master ball
Raikou (Dusk Ball)
Ho-oh (Dusk ball)
Moltres (Dusk Ball)
Zapdos (Dusk ball)
I play soul silver by the way, which one do you play?
This thread goes over HG and SS only, while the other goes over pokemon in general.
I recently bought SoulSilver. So far, it's pretty fucking great, I've been spending way too much time playing due to the fact I can play it anywhere.
[QUOTE=Vault-tech;21655952]This thread goes over HG and SS only, while the other goes over pokemon in general.[/QUOTE]
HG/SS are the most talked about in the general thread and the thread covers all the games. There's no point in breaking up the discussion into two threads.
But in the original pokemons you could catch them regarding the vertion, the only diference was the lvl of lugia/ho-oh
I don't have either, but I voted Heart Gold in the poll because I'm getting it tomorrow. Friend has Soul Silver so I'm getting the opposite one so we can get all the pokemon.
My dear sweet jesus, are they still flogging this horse? HAVE SOME NEW IDEAS ALREADY!

Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver
Aesthetic changes
* The male player character receives a redesign and is now called Ethan, while Kris is replaced by a new female player character called Lyra.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A key item allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The Pokégear has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same regional Pokédex as the originals, the original regional Pokédex for Johto has been slightly altered, including several Generation IV evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in FireRed and LeafGreen, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* Team Rocket grunts are redesigned once again.
o Rocket Executives are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: Archer, Arianna, Petrel, and Proton. Like Team Galactic's Commanders followed a planetary naming scheme, the Rocket Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* Lugia and Ho-Oh each have their own unique battle music, while the legendary beasts each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from Pokémon Crystal.
* Kurt and Apricorns make a return to the series along with their respective Poké Balls. Apricorns can now be carried by the player in their own bag with a new item, the Apricorn Case.
* All former Berry trees have become Apricorn trees.
* Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Silver, and Red have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in Platinum. Many Gyms have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* Rock Smash, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since Generation III. Defog loses its HM status to the returning Whirlpool.
* The Magnet Train's tracks can be seen overground in locations such as Route 32.
* Pal Park is located where the closed Kanto Safari Zone once stood in Fuchsia City.
* The RageCandyBar is now a key item. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, which does not have any item data for it.
* The player can now see how many Kanto badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto badges they had.
* Ecruteak City and Cianwood City, while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with Mt. Moon and the Seafoam Islands changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's Union Cave and Ice Path, respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on Routes 24 and 25, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on Route 3 as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on Route 2, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of the Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on Route 1. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on Route 3. Cinnabar Island also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessable via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and Route 14.
* When viewing the stats of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's nature, and one will be light brown, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.
Location changes
Johto and Kanto, the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where the professor and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The Battle Tower west of Olivine City, introduced in Pokémon Crystal, returns, bringing with it the exact same Battle Frontier seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, Route 47 and Route 48, are introduced near Cianwood City. They lead to a new Safari Zone, as well as the Embedded Tower.
* Mt. Silver is much bigger and Viridian Forest is not cut down.
* Cerulean Cave and the Seafoam Islands remain as they were in Generation III (though Blaine still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the legendary Pokémon that live inside them to be battled. Moltres, formerly found in Victory Road and Mt. Ember, can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The Fighting Dojo in Saffron City takes a role similar to Sinnoh's Battleground, where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.
Gameplay changes
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of following players similar to Pikachu in Yellow. Shininess is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the bicycle or going into a small space with a big Pokémon.
* A series of events now precede encountering Ho-OhHG or LugiaSS. In addition to obtaining the Rainbow WingHG/Silver WingSS, the player must also possess the Clear BellHG/Tidal BellSS which can be obtained from the Kimono Girls after receiving the Master Ball from Professor Elm. Either Bell is required in that version for the version mascot to appear.
* The Kimono Girls from the Ecruteak City Dance Theatre now have a significant role in the game. The player can meet each one at random locations in Johto who will ask the player to do them a small favor. Before meeting the version mascot, they each challenge the player with a battle and once defeated, they proceed to summon Ho-Oh (in HeartGold) and Lugia (in SoulSilver) at the Bell Tower and Whirl Islands, respectively. In the originals, they were only found in the Dance Theatre and were treated as any other trainer to earn HM03 (Surf) from a man in the Theatre once all five are defeated. For HG/SS, a Team Rocket member inside the Theatre needs to be fought instead to earn the HM.
* Unlike Generation II, new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the Radio Card for the PokéGear to be able to challenge Whitney, and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* Similarly to the event Shaymin and Regigigas's effect on Platinum, the Pikachu-colored Pichu will unlock an event near the Ilex Forest Shrine, where the Spiky-Eared Pichu can be obtained.
* The Pokémon storage system, bag, party interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the Start or X buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* Legendary Pokémon from other regions can be caught in the games. Kyogre and Groudon appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after the Elite Four, and Rayquaza can be caught in both games once the other members of its trio are traded into the game. Latias (in HeartGold) or Latios (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in Kanto later in the game after speaking to Steven Stone.
o The Enigma Stone is an Event key item that features a use similar to that of the Eon Ticket. It can get the other Eon Pokémon depending on the player's game version: Latias (in SoulSilver) and Latios (in HeartGold).
* Headbutting trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from Hoenn and Sinnoh after the National Pokédex is acquired.
* Cynthia makes an appearance in an event involving Arceus. This takes place in an area accessed from the Ruins of Alph that is far to the north, named the Sinjoh Ruins. This event allows players to obtain either Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina at level 1. The only way to obtain the Griseous Orb and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The Gracidea can be obtained in the flower shop in Goldenrod City by bringing any fateful encounter Shaymin to show them.
* Eusine, a major character from Pokémon Crystal who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the Pokéathlon, features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of Contests from previous games.
* Like the GBA Wireless Adapter that came with FireRed and LeafGreen, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a Poké Ball-shaped pedometer called the Pokéwalker that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its experience and happiness as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* Apricorns are now the only items collected from plants on the field. Berries are instead collected from Jugglers in Violet City and Fuchsia City in exchange for shards, by the player's mother if the player decided to save up their money, through the Pokéwalker's Dowsing function, or hidden. Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Berries can be grown portably using the Berry Pots, where the Squirtbottle is controlled via the touch screen to water four Berries at a time.
* Using the Apriblender, Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats.
* The Running Shoes are obtained in Cherrygrove City and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen menu. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the Vs. Seeker, the Pokégear reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, re-battling trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* Starter Pokémon from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from Professor Oak and Steven Stone once certain conditions are met.
* Commemorative photos can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, Gym Leaders, and certain notable citizens.
* An event-exclusive Celebi unlocks an encounter with former Team Rocket boss and Viridian Gym Leader Giovanni. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, Togepi can now learn Extrasensory through breeding.
* The GB Sounds, a key item obtained after all 16 badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the Pokémon Past Archive radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move Whirlpool outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in Generation II, the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific individual values may be passed down through breeding depending on the EV-enhancing item that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's Trainer House are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The guy in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for Headbutt in Generation II has been remade into a move tutor for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does it for free with no prerequisites for and can be done an infinite number of times.
* Similar to Pokémon Crystal, the Legendary beasts can be caught from the moment the player reaches Ecruteak City with the exception of Suicune who can only be caught after a series of fixed location encounters, but at Route 25, instead of the Bell Tower (fomerly Tin Tower).
* The map in the Pokégear has the same function as the Marking Map for the Pokétch in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to track Roaming Pokémon. Additionally the player does not need to face Raikou or Entei (as well as Latios and Latias) in battle first to be able to track them.[/quote]
Those are a quite a few new ideas if I do say so myself.
By the by, where is the both option?
I never really liked the new pokemons
