These games will always hold a special spot in my memories. After Ruby and sapphire I feel off from gaming and went years without playing anything. My senior year of High School Black and White was coming out and my friends showed me the trailer and i was excited to play Pokemon again and got a DS.. I got Soul Silver as my first game back while I waited for B&W to release
Memory? Why not just buy them and play them still, it's not like old gba games where the internal battery will die
So true.
Daniel Samolewicz black and white was mystical asf , especially since I didn’t have access to WiFi often , all we New where the legendaries and they looked fucking wicked especially reshiramand it felt like it took forever to release
Oh gosh I feel old; I started on RB, played up to USUM, and I remember hearing when BW was coming out/trailers were in senior year.
i remember I felt disappointed after I finished BW until BW2 was so satisfying
Rest in piece the Pidgey I put in the Pokewalker and then lost
I also lost my Pokewalker. Still miss it rip
rip my starter who's still in there
You can retrieve your 'mon even if you lost your Pokewalker. You just need to do a special button combination on the pokewalker screen.
@@aikou2886 wait actually
@@ShanonGallaFoe Yes? I think the combination is Select + Down + B (on the pokewalker screen) but I may be wrong so please check your manual.
Just casually walking with giratina around towns
Always loved doing that. Lol the legendaries were so huge!
Even arceus
TheMakeboo realistically, giratina would trample on most towns
Once I found a Platinum at school and it had most all the pokemon traded from other games back in 2013 I think
@mw92 ok boomer
Man, I remember coming home one to SS sitting on the living room table with a note from my dad. I started crying immediately. Rest easy, dad 💖
Rip
R.i.p
dang rest in paradise
Rest In Peace 🙏🏼 I hope he is resting with God in heaven.
R.I.P. true legends never die.
I always laugh at Zapdos just being kicked out like that, Moltres and Articuno get to keep their locations but poor Zapdos sits confused right outside the entrance.
Moltres was never in Mt. Silver. He is always changing locations.
@@RandalfElVikingo I wish they included the Sevii Islands for HGSS. We can only visit those islands on Fire Red and Leaf Green.
@@UselessVoidBobo The Sevii Island were cool when I was a kid, but afterwards the story seemed kind of weak. They should've included them in HG/SS as a place to capture the regis.
@@RandalfElVikingo Why aren't they in Let's Go?
@@realar The Sevii Islands? My guess is that those islands had Pokémon from Johto, but they had not appeared since Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Maybe Gamefreak just forgot or did not cared lol.
Whenever i think of theses games i get PTSD from Whitneys miltank...
So True
I really cant remember the names but i got indirect revenge by sestroying the kanto fire gym with my snorlax’s rollout
Yeah omg i remember that part aswell
Slavatron ?XD I killed it with one brick break from my heracross
Lol just use rock smash from traded onix from kid it violet city
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the pokeathlon, it’s a pretty big side attraction
Aria'sFantasy Pokeathlon is the reason I still have all my gen 3 and 4 shinies on that game. The Pokeathlon is such a good attraction to me.
yep, pokéathlon is awesome!
aside Gen 3 (not Gen 4) contests and Pokéstar Studios (very underrated!) Pokéathlon is definitely one of the best side "quests"
Karel Zich If Game Freak spent more time on it I think they could improve on Pokestar Studios a lot as it has a lot of potential.
The Wi-Fi game tho.
Yeah one of the few mini games I actually enjoyed
The DS Pokemon games was without a doubt, Pokemon’s Golden Era.
Truly I have a majority of the ds games and I've played the majority of the generations. It goes DS games, and then the gameboy ones.
Never heard that garbage :D
Seems you wasn't alive yet when gen 1 and 2 came out
@@CHRISrnbWORLD gen 1 sucked but gen 2 was epic
Christian Hegener just because you’re nostalgic doesn’t mean anything. Gens 4 and 5 had more content, more Pokémon, the same basic storyline(gen 5 story was a little better), and better graphics.
@@dukes1lv3r48 It's not about nostalgic :D
If you was around at that time, you would know that pokemom was fucking everywhere. You couldn't make a single step without seing it somewhere. Every store was filled with pokemon stuff to the roof.
The remakes everyone still wants*
They’re going for like 70$ used, it’s stood it’s test to time.
MeSaDrums check out their new prices. XD
@@joegreen3802 I saw 399.99 on Amazon it's crazy
And I own both versions😂 I feel like I’ve got treasure
I bought a classmate’s soulsilver game for 20 canadien dollars lmao (about 15$ usd)
I bought a used SS for $3 on eBay, from a guy from Germany. It’s legit, it has infrared and everything.
HGSS was the absolute PEAK of Pokemon games. It was the time when GameFreak pushed themselves to make Pokemon as high quality as possible. Yeah, BW didn't offer up nearly as much as HGSS, but the idea of regions being on other continents, hidden abilities, and a deep storyline were still major pluses for the franchise. Unfortunately, the hate surrounding those games was so hard it devolved GameFreak to what it is now... Kanto pandering. I'm not ignoring Sinnoh or trying to get sympathy for Unova, I just feel like HGSS was when GameFreak wasn't holding anything back and that's such an awesome thing.
i think x and y was pretty good too.ORAS was more for nostalgia really but sun and moon and ultras were a downhill.
@@sakispdsw I feel everything went down hill when the games went 3d. ORAS was great buts thats just me being biased because of nostalgia
GBA and NDS eras best pokemon eras. Sadly Gamefreak won't produce high quality games such as FRLG, Emerald, Platinum, HGSS and BW2. Was a great time to be a pokemon fan. RIP Pokemon 1996~2012.
ORAS was absolutely wonderful and I wasn't too happy about RSE when they came out, so feelings from back then would leave me with a more negative experience, not a positive one. Don't try to find reasons to write it off just to make your "XY/3D is where the decline started" stay true. XY was bland and SM was just plain bad, don't give ORAS flak by proxy.
Mega Evolutions and Z-moves are indicative of their problems. They try to introduce new, spectacular gimmicks that would look good as a finale in a movie. Then we have all the mythics and giveaway pokémon. I wasn't a fan of this in Gen I, and they've made it worse than ever. Legendaries, Mythics and Ultras make up an absurd proportion of the new Gen VII pokémon. It still feels like you're playing a tutorial 10 hours in, you constantly get interrupted by cutscenes killing your sense of player agency.
As for DS being one of "the best eras", I really didn't like Pearl and I still have no interest in finishing it. It's my third least liked generation. And its the generation when the storylines really started to go anime level retarded. Pokémon that control time and space, a God pokémon - and monster design-wise it's the single biggest step down the franchise has ever taken. So the whole "This time period is when they were great!" is a theory I don't subscribe to. The primary part of HGSS being so damn great is GSC being an amazing sequel to begin with, so that credit goes to GSC. Then they took the incremental improvements from gen III and IV, and presto, you get a great game. They took the things that already worked and put them together. Everything about that game was already tried and true prior to making it.
@@Arancil uhhh... No.
Best Pokémon remake? Nah best Pokémon games ever
this is a definitive fact, its sad that the newer games havent even come close when all they needed to do was just add on to what these 2 games did. Instead they just kept taking things away.
I really loved the BW2 postgame content and tournament, but the pokeathalon and battle frontier never made a comeback, and set HGSS at the top.
Press_Start2continue - nope, that isn't a fact at all. it's a matter of tastes, and what exactly they should have brought to the new games that these had? I don't see much good things that the new games could have had, or relevant things to define them a lack. "they just kept taking things away", cause you can't see all the actual innovations. probably you're stuck with nostalgia for these games, but anyway, I even prefer all the ones that came out after HGSS and many of the ones that came out before (Hoenn and Sinnoh)
Plus a game is made of so much elements and they couldn't just replicate these ones
Big Shaq sorry dude but it is a fact. “A matter of taste” or “nostalgia” has nothing to do with the actual CONTENT in/not in a game.
look at ORAS they don’t even let you rematch gym leaders something that Pokémon emerald a decade old game let you do, no national Pokédex, the post game is barren due to there being no battle frontier. Same with x/y and the sun and moon games with the ultra ones being the exception only because of the whole rainbow rocket storyline which is there’s basically nothing to do after you beat the game aside from catching Pokémon.
Game freak admitted to toning down the difficulty in all the 3ds games during the same interview where they give their reason for leaving out the battle frontier. The number of special trainers in the battle tree is minimal compared to the PWT in Black and White 2 or the Fighting Dojo in heart gold and soul silver.
They basically hand every legendary Pokémon to you instead of having you explore dungeons to get them like in the DS and gameboy games. Due to the games being made in 3D they made the dungeons and environments less explorative. It took them nearly a decade to add back Pokémon following you and now it’s restricted to just the 151 Pokémon in the let’s go games which got rid of random encounters, doesn’t have online battles, and again lacks and real post game content. They hardly ever do in game events like going back in time with celebi or using arceus to create new Pokémon,
There’s much more I can type about what the 3DS games but I’ve typed enough already.
Aside from super training there have been no “innovations”
We didn't realise how lucky we were with gens 1-5 did we

Street fighter vs Xenoverse no it’s true lol black and white 2 is a sequel. Why are you speaking in such a passive agressive way jesus
It can't be overstated how much the music reflects the sheer effort and passion put into these games. FRLG and ORAS do nice enough jobs remastering the original tracks, but HGSS straight up remixes and restructures nearly every song. Cherrygrove City takes a pretty basic melody and more than doubles its length into a beautiful melody, Ecruteak City becomes a very oriental piece, and Saffron City straight up turns into a smooth jazz style piece, among many other excellent songs.
Honestly, FRLG’s remakes have always been screechy and grating to my ears, aside from a few standout tracks. They’d be fine at first but I couldn’t listen for too long without turning down the volume. HGSS, on the other hand, is peak. 👌
Ughhh I love how ecruteak and cianwood has the same theme but also not really, the Ecruteak version is so good
And the option to make it sound like gbc with that key item was amazing
Omg, the National Park theme
You a Russians got talent judge
I would argue these are the best Pokémon games of all time. They are so packed with charm and side events you can participate in, such as the Pokeathalon and bug catching contest. I'm not surprised their value has risen over the years. These are some amazing games.
The best pokemon games ever are Diamond and Pearl. 2. red/blue/yellow 3. Xd gales of Darkness 4. silver/gold originals 5. sapphire/ruby 6. black 2/white 2. 7. ORAS 8. and everything else.
@Merciless Freak Diamond and Pearl = absolute perfection, the peak of all of pokemon, the cream of the crop the tip of the spear, the best of the best, perfection never seen before. After Diamond and Pearl all hope was lost, I had to jump ship pokemon was over, sure i bought every pokemon game and sure the pirated versions of HGSS and black and white where more fun than the store versions but the fact that the store versions weren't fun is the point. The story was excellent in Diamond and Pearl, Diamond and Pearl surpassed my expectations, HGSS didn't live up to perfection, all hype no action is everything after Diamond and Pearl.
@Merciless Freak Diamond and Pearl: Grinding was awesome, I always loved grinding, If anyone loves grinding 100+ hours to get some stat boost than that's me, I love the quite pace of diamond and pearl, The game was a new experience to when i played XD gales of Darkness, it was rare for me to battle and grind out wild pokemon in XD so when I played Diamond and Pearl it felt genuine, The game was a magical experience, and the new addition of physical attack vs special attack was fresh, gyrados became very powerful, I liked that i needed to grind out a lot of hours, I loved that so much, I was so happy grinding out to level up totally worth it, in all pokemon games if the grind is not there than I am not satisfied. The story of Diamond and pearl was great and the characters where great Dawn is the best female character, the Gym leaders where all great, the region was very comfortable, the elite four was really good. I had a great time grinding out that game, the legendaries where nice, competitive battling was very good, peoples youtube pokemon adventures where nice as well.
@Merciless Freak Lack of fire types was an acceptable loss for all that grinding and pace, the pace was just right for me, the grinding was perfection for me, I was frowning when Diamond and Pearl were released and said that oh they look bad and then when I got around to playing them I was blow away, everything that can go right went right and the lore was not bad Arceus brought back what a mythical pokemon was suppose to be like. Mythology = good, Story = good, Elitie Four = good, Grinding 100+ hours = good, Pace = good, new features = good. Lack of fire types = acceptable loss.
@Merciless Freak 4th Gen: great characters, Dawn was a very nice character great personality,The region was nice, great areas to explore, water attacks use to be special attacks until 4th gen, waterfall was special until 4th gen, fir punch Alakazam became useless but waterfall gyrados became useful, the design was nice of the game, the lore behind the legends was very nice. A game is great when you compare it to what is possible and how much it has really pushed the envelope how much progress was made. HGSS were all hype, I played them, with high expectations, Diamond and Pearl my expectations for a pokemon game were never so low, HGSS my expectations for a pokemon game had never been so high. one game suprpassed my expectations, while the other left me disappointing, HGSS were not great they were below average man, gen 1 was one of the best, why do you hold the opposite view of pokemon?? why is when something was magical you find it abd and when something was average you find it magical? I had had the full pokemon experience after 4th gen, platinum is basically the same game so 4th gen still.
*Back in the day*
GameFreak: "Soo how many features do you want this Remake to have?"
Morimoto: "Yes"
Is Morimoto not Miromoto
haha yes dude you really knocked it outta the park with this one. excellent joke here's an upvote
Don’t care what anyone says. Bring back sprite artwork!
No! Evolve!
I agree. It suits the pokemon games a lot more when it comes to the aesthetics.
@@CHRISrnbWORLD No! Press B!
Yes, I agree. I miss the old sprites. :(
You kinda got your wish with the diamond and perl remakes.

Shrektastic69 Why do you think we didn’t deserve it?
I paid 60$, I definitely deserved it.
More like We didn't want but we deserve. No one wanted PoGo style remake.
The Legacy of Gaming underrated comment.
Something you didn't touch on is that even the original gen 2 games were a huge improvement over gen 1, fixing a lot of broken mechanics and adding series staples such as breeding and shiny hunting. So for a lot of people, Gold / Silver / Crystal were the best games out there. As such, the HG/SS remakes were a huge slam dunk in that they improved on something that was already so amazing.
they don't fix the grinding (which is even worse than platinum)
Felix Martinez How? Johto has the easiest E4. Lance’s final Dragonite is lvl 55 lol.
@@carlosmarte3154 49
Pokémon are a cycle of the same thing. This series will never end well. Ugh why do people always do this with kids. Pokémon cards are a different diamond with size of gold.
Don't forget that they already designing prototype for online battle, GTS, and battle replay on gen 2.
If only this level of effort was put into SW/SH
Can almost guarantee they’ll make this same treatment to the sinnoh remakes
@@isinglikeanass6708 Really hoping they do and we won't get another ORAS :P
This when GF not Rush a game cause they have many assets from previous pokemon ds era,in swsh even after cut half of the pokemon the game still feels like a rushed game.they really need to step up their game on game assets investment
I sing like an ass I bought a switch specifically for sword and shield and the game was decent but still somewhat underwhelming. I will say I enjoyed this new gen better than the last few so far, but I really hope they can step up their game and make the gen 4 remakes as good as hg/ss. If they don’t the franchise is gonna start to die. It’s already losing popularity and people are less and less happy with each new game and new anime season. The gen 4 remakes are game freak’s chance to get Pokémon back on track before they ruin it
What I hope gamefreak did was give us sw/sh to keep us occupied and gave us dlc to keep us occupied longer. Why? Because gen 4 remakes are in the way and they will be the best pokemon game to date. Or at least I hope that’s what happened
Back when GameFreak actually put effort into their games and went above and beyond to add additional content.
They essentially used the Platinum engine but also improved upon it significantly. Not to mention all the content. So much content.
I mean the 3ds games had effort put into them aswell
Yeah I feel like in the last few games GameFreak has made have been lacking in content and originality. And the Galar Pokemon are really bad, and I don't just mean the ones that got form changes I mean every Galarian Pokemon in general.
To be fair, it's easy to add so much content on a DS remake of a GB game.
If the remakes were on 3DS instead, chances are that the games would be even more groundbreaking
@@codmobileguntests90 originality? what do you mean by that? I mean...the 3ds games had originality and the content got better as the games went on for that systems games.
It’s honestly not even an opinion that these are the best remakes, it’s a fact. Might be the best Pokémon games of all time.
Tristan Neal - shut up! you idiots selling this idea that your tastes are facts are just toxic
Glank he ain’t wrong tho HG/SS is easily the best remake and arguably the best Pokémon game ever
R J - it shouldn't be difficult to understand what subjectivity is and what can be defined by objectivity if you are even a little smart. In this case, it's purely subjective if you find these games to be the best or not (not talking about the people that like them just because they're praised by the community). What you could say objectively is if they have the most amount of contents, the most advanced game engine and things like this, which isn't even the case.
Glank the guy wasn’t even being rude about it tho. You’re the one calling him an idiot and toxic just because you disagreed with him. People say “facts” all the time for their opinions but they usually don’t mean it that way. The only person here who’s being toxic is you. Yeah opinions are subjective, but just because you disagree with them doesn’t give you the right to insult them, no matter how they stated their opinion
R J - ehm, stating that your opinion, in this case, based on tastes and subjectivity, is a fact, is extremely rude. Cause you basically say that all the people who don't agree with you are *wrong,* and their opinion, their tastes, don't count. Avoid making shitty arguments trying to discredit me, thanks.
Honestly, SS aint just my favourite remake poke game, it's my favourite poke game. To this day, Gamefreak hasn't topped it.
Exacly and they never will seeing let’s go dosent give me hope to the future heart gold soul silver was one of a kind and unique
They topped it already
@@Nomstero What are you talking about? When did they top SS/HG? I still can't find a better poke game...

@@Nomstero No. Sorry, but no. You might like these games and it's cool. Good for you. But as games, HGSS are far better than each and everyone of those you mentioned. Yes, HGSS had a leveling problem if you want to play easy mode (not an insult, poke are childs games so some hand-holding is expected), but still they are better as games.
Heartgold and soulsilver are hands down the best remakes

Heart Gold and Soul Silver not only are the best remakes, but they are also the best Pokémon games period. Never have I played a Pokémon game so many times without feeling bored. Sure the originals are great but the remake is perfect. The ultimate Pokémon game!
I've played BW/B2W2 a little more than HG/SS but not gonna lie those three games are interchangeable as my number 1 pokemon games
My favorite Pokemon games are HG/SS and Pokemon Platinum. I can‘t decide which is better. The fourth gen is legendary.
Pokemon black 2 is a better remake/game then soulsilver..
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 Are you listening? its a sequel
@@m0chik1tty Are you listening? Pokemon soulsilver is not the best pokemon game ever that title goes to black and white 2 , black two is better in every way , Better maingame/ story, and postgame adventure, also has alot of generation 1 and 2 pokemon that you can catch to be apart of you're team..
They didn't fix the most glaring non-glitch issue ot the game: Level scaling. There absolutely no excuses for having to train alongside level 22-26 pokemon/trainers when you're about to fight the level 41 boss.
I agree I wish level scaling was added to pokemon in general. I like to over train my pokemon alot especially when going against that horrid miltank the problem is. It all snowballs until the point I'm level 40 to 50 on all my pokwmone and fighting against level 20's. And a gym leader who only had lvl 30s makes the game way to easy
This is even more painful if you're doing a nuzlocke run, since losing a party member usually means having to grind for hours to get a replacement to a suitable level. If you lose multiple party members late into the game, you might as well start over. It's such a weird flaw in a game that's otherwise near perfect for both casual and challenge runs.
You can find pokemon at level 33 - 37 and the trainers before the elite four are level 33 - 38. Do your research buddy.
Idk I didn't mind it. Made me have to use the other features in the game such as going to the Pokeathlon to save up for rare candies or exploring every possible area of the region to find all the trainers I could to battle
@@parkzy2920 same. johto is not meant to be rushed. there's a shitton of content available throughout the campaign, and it's the only game in the series where the bf is available before the postgame. this "level curve" nonsense is a minor nitpick on an otherwise flawless game.
My favorite Pokemon Region is the Johto, hands down. I LOVED this remake. I just want to see it brought to Nintendo Switch now.
What do you mean your pokewalker is long dead? The batteries are easy to replace, theyre just simple watch batteries, and you can reset the pokewalker to connect to a new save file if you no longer have the one it was connected to. I know for a fact this works because I did so myself not too long ago when I decided to replay my copy of SoulSilver and bring along the walker when I went Go hunting
PsychicSkitty me too! Mine works for ever and I lost my original heart gold it was connected to and bought a new heartgold. So yeah it does work!
PsychicSkitty same I just replaced the battery in mine a few weeks ago and it still works great!
I just bought one bc I'm starting a playthrough of HG after I finish Platinum! Honestly such a nice touch to the entire experience! I'm able to have a Doduo (one of my fave Pokemon) on my team before the first gym and that's wonderful!
HG/SS are my personal faves, especially since it was the first Pokémon game I ever played as a kid (it came out when I was around 10) and I loved it. That and B/W will always have a special place in my heart since I grew up with them and unfortunately I haven’t kept up with the Pokémon franchise since :(
Side note: anyone else remember playing the Pokémon ranger games?? I loved those
Jay Rodriguez if you’re looking to get back into the series, 2DSs are dirt cheap nowadays and all the games are pretty fairly priced. I’d honestly recommended every generation if you haven’t looked into them!
Johnstone yeah I finally got one, now I just need to buy all the games and play them
Pokémon ranger Shadows of Almia is just amazing i love This game
I’m a big fan of x and y even tho it’s not everyone’s favourites, but I gave it to my boyfriend for him to try his first Pokémon game. I do not like the generation 7 games but visually they are very beautiful
yeah, the Ranger games are actually my favorites. i really loved all of them.
This ain’t the best remake. It’s the best game in the series. It gives you so much to do during your playthrough. And it makes you feel that much better when you beat Red.
To have two regions was so cool. It was such a detailed game. The only critic I can have about this game are the 3 Dragonite‘s from the champ, but the rest is great. Red was a really hard opponent.
No Name he wasn't difficult he was just at an unfair lvl advantage
I battled everyone I could and my highest was a lvl 63 Lugia (because I didn't wanna use a single pokemon through the whole game)
I felt like shit when I beat him cause I was just doing a bunch of X item shenanigans
That Lewd Denmarkian why didn’t u just rebattle elite 4?
ell1 ell1 "why didn't you just grind for a long time?"
Grinding isn't fun imo
Doing the same repetitive thing over an extended period of time just to be able to play the game fairly isn't fun to me
A lon time ago After i Finisher HG i bought used Diamond Pearl an Platin and have recently reset Platin to play it myself (Diamond is complete PokeDex etc and a lot of candy and shinys Pearl almost no Pokemon and Platin just a starter and a few weak pokemon no badge ) I fondly remember playing HG and watching a Ho-Oh tutorial before actually approaching it having lernt from my Gameboy Pokemon sapphire mistake ( killed kyogre and didnt save in a long time ); )
The only generation where you can get 16 badges and visit kanto
Those damn Sudowoodo.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the pokeathlon dome or gym rematches omg
This game was a masterpiece and everything Pokemon fans wanted. Remastered Johto, Pokemon following you around, THE ABILITY TO GO TO KANTO. Man I was so hyped.
you could go back to kanto since the releases from 1999, what

I completely agree with this video. For me ORAS disappointed me as a remake because they cut a lot of stuff that were in the original and made unnecessary changes that made the game too easy for no reason. Not only that they barely included anything that was from Emerald while HGSS include loads of stuff from Crystal.
like how the hell are you going to leave the battle frontier out of ORAS when it was literally what put hoenn on the map?
@@pokemax93 Exactly
Yep with the ability to have DLC you’d think that theyd include at LEAST the battle tower, seeing as they TEASED IT! But nah gotta have latios after the 5th gym and the battle maison
taijutsugal then they actually banned reviewers from telling that the battlefrontier was not in the game for the first 2 weeks that the game was out too so they knew they fucked up by not putting it in the game
Thank you!!
when i was a kid my sisters bf gave me his hgss copies for nothing in return since i was young, and now that im seeing how expensive they are each im glad i still have my copies
I have a special place in my heart for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire almost exclusively because of the Pokefinder, being able to select a Pokemon and hunt them repeatedly was an incredible addition that I feel is sorely lacking in the Sun/Moon games and I'd love to see this option return at some point
PowWow Ken I didn’t really like sun or moon didn’t feel like there was that much content was disappointed by those games
The best Pokemon remakes and the best Pokemon game ever made. This is the highest peak Gamefreak ever did an excellent job. Everything is beautiful, exciting and fun to play. They Really put their heart and soul on these games.
Replayed SS after a couple of years. Still as good as i remember it being. The Kanto part of it absolutely blows it out of the water
Not to mention having pokemon follow you way back then
Watching this in November 2019 makes me realize how little effort was put into the new Pokémon Sword and Shield games. These remakes were the Pokémon at its finest.
。。 Hearing more and more news about the weird stuff happening with Sword and shield meanwhile looking back at 2010’s HGSS just shows how much Gamefreak has changed.... BIG TIME! In my opinion, I believe a lot of games in the 2000s and early 2010s were simply good or near masterpieces (I’m including the Pokémon series and the First Person Shooter games like BF, COD, etc). Compare all that to the mid 2010s and in this late era, a lot of them have become the best complete opposite. Games being delivered unprepared, games charging you unnecessary extra amount of money, games being glitchy or sketchy malfunctioning, and (from what I’ve seen from EA, and what I’ve been witnessing a lot in Movies and Product ads) games pushing their Socialist propagandas aka identity politics, all because we have that “Orange man bad” in America. “Not standing by with our LGBT and feminist preachings? F$?@ you, you’re a sexist, homophobe, and a White Supremacist.” That says a lot of how our game devs are these days. It’s depressing... this is why last year 2018 I official quit gaming, because wit was becoming too addicting along with all of these issues that I’ve mentioned, especially devs caring more and more about the money over their fans. Now Gamefreak is becoming one of them, and they also just proven to us that they no longer even 50% care about us Pokémon fans. What a joke these devs have become. Absolutely disgusting!
Pikachufps3 SS is one of my favourite pokemon games, and i have to tell you, pokemon Sword ans Shield is really not as bad as it seems, dont belive everything you read and watch especially on youtube (ironic since youre reading this on youtube). Even though i have a couple of problem with sword and shield, i can honestly give it a minimum of 8.5/10 overall. There were tons of new concepts and mechanics that just drew me back to the game and the main issues that yhe internet has been hammering them about isnt that really big of a deal. Again, being a felow long time fan of Pokèmon myself, i would advise you guys to give the game a go, then tell me how you feel.
@@jodirex4639 There is no National Dex, so to me, there is ZERO point in even getting either games. Plus the whole thing with the Gigantimax is seriously way too gimmicky. This generation of Pokemon feels incredibly lazy when compared to past games. I'll wait until the put out proper games in the future.
SickBabySeals if the only reason youre gonna buy a pokemon game is to have a national dex then i dont know what to say.
On the gigantimax note, loads of people have been asking for an extra feature in pokemon games. A lot of people didnt like mega evolutions at first now they dont like dynamax/gigantimax and praise mega evolution. The concept of it when i heard it the first time was absurd, but once youve strated to play it in gum stadiums, the raids with friends and the limitations of it, it doesnt feel like a cheap stunt, but an actual legitamate fun concept.
@@jodirex4639 Well, I do pay for their PokeBank service for one. And I find it an insult that I can't transfer some of my pokemon, with a service that Game Freak has said you could use for future games.
Why should I buy a game if I can't even transfer my favorite pokemon that I have carried around for multiple generations, with ZERO issues?
If you like the game fine, by all means, gobble it all up. But I'm definitely not going to pay full price (or any price), for what I feel is sloppy, rushed, and incomplete product, created by lazy, and complacent developers.
I have seen more than enough gameplay footage by those that praise the game and by those that bash it, to have made an informed decision. This product is simply not for me.
I hope they add a digital version of HG SS for the switch soon
It would be so cool but very difficult to do since the Switch doesn't have 2 screens like the DS did.
This is my first pokemon game that i played. I have a really strong connection, whenever I listen to a song from these games I just smile. :)
I have soul silver but I never beat it. I haven’t beaten any Pokémon game I own. I really need to beat one.
Trust me, it feels SOOOOO satisfying when you finally beat one.
I remember when I was little, I sucked at Pokémon and I could never beat the elite four of any region (except the newer regions because of the buffed exp share). Over time I finally learned some techniques that helped me efficiently balance my team and now I’m able to successfully conquer the elite four of older regions.
You do.
You seriously never beat any Pokémon game? (Become the League Champion at least)
They are not even so long games, I remember that when I was younger I was beating them after 2 days of bought them. Except HGSS which both were so complete that it actually took me over 1 week.
AX System I seriously haven’t. I will eventually but as for now I don’t have the time for it. High school is literally killing me at this point in time m
I've beat every main series pokemon game, except these ones. I find gen 4 far too slow, and my 2010 laptop can't handle emulation of them.
HG and SS feel like home to me. Even though I started with D/P/P, HG was the first Pokémon game I actually finished. Such a wonderful game.
I just loved the amount of Pokémon in this game and the fact that there is two regions so you get to keep collecting more badges
Not only are HeartGold and SoulSilver the best remakes, they are the best Pokémon games, period.
Every word in that sentence is 100% accurate.

True
Nope black/white 2 are better remakes..
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 They aren't remakes they're sequels

@Roger Loe pokemon teleporting out of the ground: hi
Crazy how they’re so much better than sword and shield lol
joshua morales yep I started replaying this after being so disappointed by shield.
not just sword and shield tho, (ultra) sun and moon or x and y as well
but yeah, Gen 4 >>> Gen 6-8
charlie z what is your oppinion on gen 5
Jeff Thatcher gen 5 was aight
@@jeffthatcher7736 I know you didn't ask me but I have basically the same opinion as charlie and Gen 5 is just decent. BW1 have basically nothing going for them aside from the story, and BW2 while being a great game, still isn't as content rich as HGSS was. At the very least I can say that it was a great sendoff for the 2d pokemon era, and is far greater than anything on the 3ds/switch.
This video makes me want to replay Heartgold. For the 3rd time now...
mmjahink 17th time since I was 8
Yep...4th time for me...
Shit still gotta finish BW2 though. Played Prism that was a better experience then the new games
I had Ho-Oh on my Pokewalker and lost it. Sad life. :(
You can retrieve your Pokemon without the pokewalker. You just need tu input a button combination on the Poewalker screen.

I loooooved everything about HGSS, gameplay, graphics, features, everything!!
These games were SO BIG, they had a shitload of content compared to the older ones, it was crazy!
I was so dissapointed when they ditched so many of the great things HGSS brought up, like Pokemon follwing, all the options and many other things in the later versions!
Imo, even the new games on the 3DS and now Switch cant keep up with HGSS in terms of content and quality!
they didn't set a high bar, Gen 6 and onward has been worse and worse content wise@@NinjaChris77
Black and White 2 comes neck to neck with Heartgold and Soulsilver.
super easy to sr starters, showin all 3 at the same time
@@jjc4924 I think B2W2 are even better :)
Reason HG SS is one of my favorite games: It uses the bottom screen the best imo. Fastest menuing in the west
Any game that lets the God of all Pokemon just follow you around like a Puppy is amazing.
Absolutely masterpieces of the series. So much love and passion was put into it and I'm so happy these were my first Pokemon games
Cant stand ya
Best part of my childhood by far.
When pokemon used to follow you 😭
POE LWE lol, they follow you in let’s go...
Deathtrap 400
Pokemon lets go is shit
No joke, no brag, I've beaten these games a minimun of 25 times since release and im talking about 16 gyms, they are obviously the best remake... Are em the best Pokemon games tho?
They are god tier along with Emerald
Blackpilled but did u beat red every time
akida yes HGSS is a near perfect game. But except for the level curb. I don’t rate fighting a level 15 Mareep on my way to the 7th gym.
@@fredbarker9201 its cos you can go to mahogany right after beating whitney. johto is kinda open world in that sense, which is just another reason why it's the best game in the franchise.
Imagine a Pokemon game with every region.
Meanwhile, Game Freak aren't even giving us ONE full region in Sword/Shield without stupidly expensive DLC that costs nearly as much as what I paid for HG/SS back in the day (and they were complete bug-tested patch-free physical games WITH a bonus accessory at no extra cost and a second region). It's amazing how generous Nintendo was back then, and yet, with the Switch being such a runaway success, they have never been so stingy.
People indulging this DLC BS are ruining the franchise (and the long-term value of physical copies) for the rest of us. I can still go back and play my DS games, but once Nintendo pulls the plug on the Switch eShop (the Wii and DSi shops are already dead), if somebody needs to replace their Switch, they won't be able to redownload patches/DLC for Sword/Shield in order to enjoy the complete experience.
It wouldn't even make sense
I still have my PokeWalker and T Shirt with Lugia that came with the game, as well as the special edition Stylus with Ho oh and Lugia figurines on the end of the stylus!
I believe it's just the amount of pure content that's consumable in them. So many places to visit and so many pokemon.
Love this video second generation Pokémon’s is my favorite and Iam probably gonna play these remakes for the first time
“Pokémon following you is in the LG games, so it looks like it’s here to stay” *cries in Sword/shield* 😢🤣😭😂
Well, to be fair, it's back in Isle of Armor.
Well, I wrote this 5 months ago XD
One of my favourite things were the starter mons you get after beating Red.
I remember the first time i played through the game, when i first beat the gym i had no idea what your “party” was to make room for the togepi egg and trying to sell everything in my bag to try and make space.
Soul silver was my first ever Pokémon game. This holds so much nostalgia.
"It's in the Let's Go series so there's a strong chance it's here to stay!"
Pokemon Sword: "lol you thought"
Favorite remake is ORAS. First Pokémon game I played, and they just have such an insane amount of content presented in a fun way
The event Celibi was insane. I always seem to miss mystery gifts but that one I got and was insane
You've got some good content, man. I've been watching a lot of your videos recently, a lot of them on accident! They are all recommended to me by youtube and I am glad I ran into them!
Hell yeah. Pokemon Silver was lit. Lugia, Kingdra, Slowking, Bellossom, Miltank, Espeon love them all.
I so badly wish I could say I love the diamond and Pearl remakes the most
E.T.hanuCuck when the remakes come out they're most likely gonna be one of my least favorite pokemon games
I don't think it'll be quite as bad as usum or swsh tho
@@fortnitesexman Gamefreak: No.

Pokémon HeartGold was my first ever Pokémon game that I owned and completed! (After spending years of sneaking my brother's Gameboy Advanced and Ruby version to my room to play hehe) and I absolutely loved it! I still love it today and look forward to replaying it eventually!
It's incredible how much was put into these games. Things way beyond of the bare minimum that was needed for these games to be considered worthy remakes and have players satisfied.
I mean, you could easily make a second video of that length from talking bout all the other things, like the Pokeathlon, Gym leader rematches, Crystals Battle Tower being replaced by the entire Battle Frontier copied over from Platinum (it was really clever for them to change the release order and getting the third version out before the remakes), fleshed out bits of the story involving the Kimono girls and the mascot legendaries, a bunch of characters getting actual names and distinct designs (the Rocket admins in particular), hell the Party-Photo spots!
That being said, there are some things I would have liked to be different before I would personally consider them perfect (which is the case for EVERY Pokémon game to date), although in the case of HGSS, my complaints are really nitpicky, which just shows how great these games are.
The main one for me is that HGSS did add 5 of the "move-based" gen4 evolutions to the Regionaldex (Ambipom, Yanmega, Tangrowth, Lickilicky, Mamoswine), but I felt like they missed out a huge opportunity by only adding these and not the rest, as gen4 really fleshed out a bunch of gen2 lines, as well as gen1 which make up a huge portion of the region obviously, especially when one of the highlights of generation2 was the addition of cross-generational evolutions in the first place! But in particular, the Togepi you get in the story, always has me not get attached to it from simply knowing it would stay a weak Togetic for the main part of the game, when I know Togekiss exists. And then there is Weavile, Gliscor, Glaceon/Leafeon (could have added 2 post-game Kimono girls for those as well), Magnezone, Honchkrow, Mismagius..
The other main thing that annoys me is the lack of the Fairy type... of course that's a ridiculous complaint when the type didn't exist until 2 generations after these remakes so this is a 100% invalid complaint, but I just wish it were there whenever I pick the games up nowadays. It makes me wonder if Whitneys gym would get remodeled and the Fairy PKMN swapped out for some of the less seen Normal PKMN like Teddiursa, Aipom.. who knows.
The actual second main complaint I have is that they kept the PKMN Teams of important characters TOO close to the originals. So my complaint here is that the remakes didn't fix a complaint I had for the originals xD
The thing is.. almost all of the Johto gym leaders, use Teams made up mostly of gen1 PKMN. And to an extent, that makes sense, as Johto was not attempting to be a "new region", it is for all intents and purposes, Kantos neighbour region, the second part to gen1, an expansion of the originals. (you can even see how the gyms have specifically the types that weren't already represented by gyms in Kanto).
But still, I think that every gym leader should have had at least one Gen2 PKMN on their team. Chuck could have used a Heracross, Morty a Misdreavus, Falkner a Hoothoot, Bugsy a Yanma...
Same goes for the Elite4, although that kind of ties in with the first point I made, as Karen would profit tremendously by having a Weavile and a Honckrow specifically...and I never understoof why Will had a Slowbro instead of showing off Slowking for example.
But yeah, this is the best I can come up with.
I wish all remakes were reaching for the standard presented by HGSS, and as a big Sinnoh-fan, I kind of dread the possibility of Sinnoh remakes not doing the idea justice (though my dream for a Sinnoh revisit actually goes even higher, as I'd prefer seeing DPt-sequels over remakes in the first place, having us play through the region with a new story a decade or so after the originals...with Neo Galactic looking for Cyrus who has been up to some weird things in the Distortion world etc...... but let's not make things even more unrealistic than they already are xD...)
You can see how much love and pride was poured into the development of this remake.
Now Game Freak can't even be bothered to support every Pokemon. :/

SoulSilver is my favorite pokemon game.
Nick Baldwin mines diamond and yes I know platinum is “better I every way” but I just prefer diamond
@@generalgrievous9379 Gen 4 was just awesome
Nick Baldwin yeah everything they made for gen 4 was perfect
I agree. It's also my Pokemon game next to Black 2 & White 2.
They NEED to bring these games to the switch. I would pay $60 to play a port of these games on the switch.
ITs way better on DS. on switch the controls are shit. the joycons feel awful since their designed to be 2 seperate controllers instead of handheld comfort. everything has to be redesigned for one screen aswell and they could mess it up.
Heart gold was my first Pokémon game ever. I remember picking the thicc ass box off the shelf and I had no idea what it was, the cover just looked cool. And when I got home, I slid it into my DSi, and the rest is history. That game got me into Pokémon and I have so many memories and heart strings attached to that game, to my first starter, to my first adventure. I truly love it with all my heart. And now that I’m older, and after being able to play through all the Pokémon games from Ruby to lets go, it made me appreciate how great HG/SS really were. One of the greatest games of all time, and one of my most loved too
Same here, but black/white 2 is a much better game..
Best 415 hours and 24 minutes ever ( and counting )
My favorite remakes are hands down omega ruby and alpha sapphire. I also love heartgold and soulsilver too. I think fire red and leaf green was ok.
@Lycan change my mind HeartGold and SoulSilver are better.
@Lycan I am veteran man
@Lycan Pokemon Emerald was my first Pokemon game and that's why ORAS used to be my favorites until I realized that I played HeartGold and SoulSilver more and enjoyed them more.
@Lycan Yeah I know I just wanted to say that I changed my mind.
8:56 when I played the game, I got stuck for hours because I didn’t see that windows, it’s a bit hidden
My first ever Pokémon game I ever played, after that I was assuming I could walk with Pokémon in any game but as we know we can’t. Just the ability to walk with your Pokémon alone makes this the best
My first ever video game was my older brothers copy of Silver. Gen 3 had just come out but I wanted to try Silver first. That game absolutely captivated me. Finding Red by accident and getting my shit rocked was one of the most humbling experiences of my young life. There was seemingly endless content. I played gen 3 and had fun, but once I beat the Pokémon league there wasn’t much else to do. Platinum came and I enjoyed it. Then the day came. My favorite game was getting a remake. I bought it day 1 and was blown away. Everything was perfect. The world, the graphics, the music, and to my surprise my little Totodile popped out and started following me around. Very feature they added fit seamlessly. Everything you said in the video was spot on. Plus you can get Kanto and Hoenn starters and all gym leader phone numbers for rematches. They even added the pokeathelon, while It wasn’t my favorite thing, was still a cool addition. This game is perfect. I still have my save file with over 450 hours and I hopped on it tonight and STILL found things to do that I haven’t done yet. Incredible game, my Feraligatr will forever be my Pokémon partner. Last game I played was black 2. From what I hear from the community I stopped playing at the right time. Gamefreak created something amazing that could wow me as an older fan and still give me that nostalgia I felt when I was a kid.
if someone said to me they were looking to get into pokemon, and asked what game I would recommend them to play, these would be the first games I would mention. the perfect pokemon games!
I've played HG and SS about 4-5 times already and boy it never fails me. The story, side story, the longevity of the game and other cool features was put together inside a single cartridge, this has to be the best pokemon game ever.
One of the highlights of my Pokemon collection is my copies of Heartgold and Soulsilver. I have the games, cases, boxes, and pokewalkers for both, all still in good shape (just a little bit of wear on the cardboard). I'm so glad I had the foresight to keep the whole package
I picked them up the other day and they're simply perfect. Love them so much.
