A forum dedicated to the Pokémon games HeartGold & SoulSilver, remakes of the original Pokémon Gold & Silver games released in 1999.
Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver are remakes of the original Gold & Silver games released in 1999 with further aspects which were introduced in Crystal in 2000. These games are set in the Johto & Kanto regions and were released in Japan on September 2009.
As these games are remakes of Gold & Silver, they feature both Johto & Kanto and follow the storyline of you as a new trainer, going through the gyms of Johto and Kanto, and winding up needing to thwart a Team Rocket plot to takeover the world with their Pokémon.

For context started this new adventure in early December 4th, got my Shiny Totodile on December 6th, been trying to find a shiny on route 31 but so far no such luck. Yet somehow he has Pokerus after a few wild battles.
I named him Nugget.
Blue demolished my whole team but Chipelinai clutched up ❤️✨
I'm currently doing a run in Sacred Gold and I'm full of doubts about my Venusaur's strategy. It's just evolved and I want it to learn Petal Dance, but I really like its current attacks:
Sleep powder: I use it frequently to catch Pokemon and because it offers a great tactical advantage in battles
Leech seeds: I use it often because it offers a health loss each turn equally to all Pokémon, whether or not they have high defense
Sludge: I use it because I want to have a poison attack that also has the possibility of poisoning the enemy.
Giga drain: Very strong grass-type attack that also restores health. This is a must for me.
What can you recommend me? What would you do?
The music, knowing you’ve conquered Johto and the upcoming challenge of the Elite 4 😎
So I replaced the battery on my pokewalker as it was no longer turning on after finding it. That brought it back to normal. Left it on my desk for a couple of months, every now and then using it to check out the Pokemon. But now it is again, no longer turning on, hasn't been dropped or anything and I even replaced the battery with another new one. Still not working, Is it just completely dead? Any help would be much appreciated.
Do you fight all the team rocket grunts or do you turn the switch off? If I turn it off, can I return and battle all the grunts I skipped after completing the quest or are they gone forever? How about the scientists? I wanna know if I'll lose out on exp and money. Thanks!
My pokewalker is not starting. I tried replacing the battery I did not work. How can I fix this?
I defeated champion Lance. That means the first part of my journey is completed. Next im going to conquer Kanto and probably complete my living johto dex. National dex gotta wait a bit longer...
The balls that are held for pleasure, are the balls that I love best.
I was trying to catch Scyther with a decent nature before going to sleep. And when I start bug catching contest, I just felt like, hm It's goind to be shiny right know. AND THERE IT'S. Right before I got like four Pinsir in a row.
Checked out a store near me before work when I found this beauty! It’s been over a decade since I played it. Super excited. Little Christmas gift to myself
This is my first time playing heart gold since 2012, and it was great.
Im having issues getting the fossil manips. Correct me if Im wrong, but doesnt the following pokemon advance frames? If so, is there a way to eliminate the frame advances caused by your follower from inside a building?
Time to start hunting the first of the legendary birds 💪🏾
