Finished my second play-through of Pokémon HeartGold Version (2010, Gamefreak, Nintendo DS) 2/4/2015.
Hours: 113
A young Pokémon trainer is given his first Pokémon and sets out on a journey so the both of them can grow stronger and make new friends along the way, with the final goal to take the Elite Four challenge and prove themselves champions. But an old threat doesn't know when to quit and resurfaces in the darkness with its nefarious plans to steal and use Pokémon for money.
8/10 – Boy, this game was long. Talk about post-game content! Built on the 4th Generation Pokémon engine, this remake was long overdue. The graphics aren't as bright as the ones in DPPt, but that's a good thing. Specially when it comes to HeartGold and SoulSilver. I say that because these game's themes are based on old, Japanese-like legends and lore. Specially when you have areas like the Bellsprout Tower and Ecruteak City. The soundtrack is terrific too. The tracks from the original are still perfectly recognizeable even though they've been rearranged. And then you have the Pokéwalker. It is so much fun! Connecting it with your friends' Pokéwalkers and battling their teams at the Battle House at your own leisure? Love it. Love it. And of course, let's not forget that climatic battle at the top of Mount Silver. This was a well made remake of Gold and Silver and I enjoyed it throughly.
