- As a Battle Network kid, there are MANY Pokemon games that I missed out on. Yes, even Generation 2. Today, I right that wrong by diving into Pokemon Heartgold for the first time; a remake of the classic in 2000 for Nintendo DS. Despite Pokemon's gameplay (slowly) evolving over many entries, was I able to enjoy this relic of the past? Quite a bit, actually.

I have pokémon Gold and Siver.
Hey Retro Rebound play Pokemon FireRed and Leafgreen
Pokemon Gold and Silver is so crucial to the franchise's success. It was the game to ensure that Pokemon isn't a fad and it's here to stay.
Platinum did that. This and B2W2 were just icing on the cake.
@@philipsparks6089 he’s talking about the original Gold and Silver
@@GimmeRatMeat yeah im dumb
And ironically it was intended to be the finale of the franchise but it had become so big at that point that they couldn't just stop there. I feel like this might be why it's the only game to have two regions since it was supposed to be a send off for the series. And unfortunately that's probably also why they won't ever do this again either.
i'd like to know ur source on where they said this was supposed to be the last game. because i have never heard that before @@wintersong2266
Heart Gold and Soul Silver are to date my favorite Pokémon games.
close battle, can't decide whether HGSS or Black2/White2
@@whatnamedoiuse1481 fan made games 10000x better
@@whatnamedoiuse1481 I never liked generation five. Black and White 2 are better than Black and White, but in general I think Unova is a really bad region.
@@Breegullbeak i replayed them very recently and it's honestly incredible how much gen 5 is better than HGSS. For once, the pacing of the gameplay and level progression is not all over the fucking place in gen 5. I get that unova is a really linear region, but linearity makes for a game that is enjoyable to play. I'm serious, for all the good that HGSS has, it makes me want to kill myself everytime I try to play it, leveling up your pokemon is SO PAINFULLY SLOW. Swear to fucking god there is not a single wild pokemon over level 20 to grind
@@Breegullbeak gen 5 is the best story in the game
I’ve played gold, silver, and crystal an unhealthy amount of times. You can imagine my joy when they were re released on the 3ds console and we got heart gold and soul silver. Gen 2 is still to this very day my fav generation
Best generation for sure
Gen 2 is best for sure! Just gets to be too much after that
@@triborn217 my bad I was referring to the original gold, silver, and crystal on the virtual console.
Good games except for the exp grind before big battles.
Same here. I love Gan 2 so much and the remakes are a close second to and just elevated my my love of the games.
Not only the best remakes, but in my opinion, the best Pokemon games ever released. Just the basic fact you get TWO regions in the game, for a total of 16 badges and everything that comes with the second region, pushes it to the top for me. So much content in this game.
Facts. 100% My favorites
Not to mention one of if not the best user interface of the core series. The UI took such a huge step back in Black and White, ESPECIALLY the item management.
Also Silver (the rival) has the best character-development out of any rival, besides N if you even consider N a rival at all (I don't).
Agreed gen 2 is my favorite gen although Kanto is a-bit abbreviated( some routes are shorter than before, some buildings are not enter able anymore. no kanto safari zone, no cerulean cave, no cinnabar island/seafoam island maze, no viridian forest, no mt moon, no pokemon tower etc, no og victory road) in Gold and Silver. it was awesome to go back and experience it again though.
@@greatnesstcb2411 But they're talking about the remake, which has Kanto to it's fullest.
@@greatnesstcb2411 Many of these things are actually in the gen 4 remakes...
This was the peak of the franchise. Almost any old player that has been playing since red and blue knows it.
Not really Platinum was way better than HGSS, all of Gen 5 was also better IMO
@@rodrigonascimento1800 any fan made game is 10000x better as well
I interpret this as you saying gen 2 was the peak in which case I agree
@@rodrigonascimento1800 L. Gen 4 was super fucking slow. Gen 5 was def on par but heart gold is the goat.
@@rodrigonascimento1800 Hgss just had more so yes it’s better, but platinum is nice to have though, they compliment eachother well if you have 2 DS to connect
Johto needs its own Legends game, because the whole region is all about history and there are many things mentioned which can be included in a legends title. The towers, the oldest pharmacy, the ruins, Ilex forest and its shrine, lake of rage, Ecruteak itself, the Dragon shrine etc..
Johto is absolutely made for a game that plays in its past.
I was thinking the same thing. I thought Arceus was absolutely incredible and I'd love more games like it, especially one exploring the legends of Johto.
YESSSSS
Legends Celebi
Thank you for that, thinking the same thing. Like a Legends Celebi, the ancient lore, the backstories, the burned tower happening, a bigger fleshed out Johto region, and many other things like more available pokemon and etc
I can totally see a Legends for Johto but I think Celebi will take you back to the past and we can see who the 3 legendary beast pre-resurrection form and how the story unfolds and Ho-oh's history with the Eevee dancing ladies.
I'm 35 years old now but back in middle school Pokemon Silver on my teal Game Boy color was my life, gen 2 was and still is my favorite gen of all the Pokemon games.
I got this game for my 12th birthday when it first came out. It was one of the best birthday gifts I received. I remember bringing my Pokewalker to summer camp every day just so I can level up my Pokémon.
Love this story 🙏
BRUH SAME! my parents, in a rare move, went all-out and got me the 3ds xl and both games, frankly I think the best birthday present I ever got as a kid
@@wheresmymuffins the games would've been out for years at that point
@@TheGoldenBoot-cz1do less than one year, actually; I made a mistake, it was the DSiXl, not the 3dsXL
@@wheresmymuffins oh true, gen 4 was my first gen too, I put way too many hours into soul silver lol
Soul Silver is my favourite game of all time, don't think it will ever be beaten. Biggest thing I love about Johto and Gen 2 is as you said, it was actually a sequel to Gen 1 and the only other time they've done that with mainline games was in Gen 5 with Black and White. (I'm talking ACTUAL sequels, the same game with a slightly altered story, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, USUM do not count) It's also the only generation where you can transition between and visit two regions in the same game. It really made Johto and Kanto feel connected as one huge world. The director of these games wanted to put more content in them than what they actually gave us which was already absolute madness and insanely generous.
Awesome video! Huge nostalgia for me, Heartgold is my favorite Pokemon game by a mile. Thanks for sharing this!!!
HGSS does have those amazing moments that you don't find in any other game. Like your first encounter with Entei/Raikou that can happen way too early by complete accident, making you want to hunt them down and add them to your team. Or finally beating Lance's Dragonite by a teeth just for him to send another one out... and he does it another time right after. And yeah, getting Kanto in the game completely out of the blue is mindblowing. Also, Blue being the final gym leader in Kanto, that caugh me by surprise, and it is to this day the only gym in the series not tied to any type (unless they did that in SwSh, didn't play those), it's just Blue getting his strongest team possible to bully whoever gets there.
And there's the forever unsolved mystery of why Red abandoned his post as the champion to go to Mt. Silver and what happens to him after you defeat him. I used to think he just jumped off the ledge, but that's not the case as he does appear again a couple of times in future games.
In the manga (pokemon adventures), Red goes to Mt. Silver in search of the magical healing hot springs. He's hoping it'll reverse the nerve damage he suffered after being frozen for 6 months
Clearly you never played a game past gen 5
@@jordancunningham6909the manga isnt canon
the journey in pokemon is so amazing its the best part for me
I got Heartgold at launch and still have my complete in box version with pokewalker in excellent condition. I know its worth a lot but I can't get rid of it. It was such a fun return to Gen 2 which I loved as a kid.
Never get rid of those kinds of things! Money can’t replace the happiness that Pokémon brings ;)
not only did i have the game and walker i had the special edition 3dsxl for heart gold as well lol. that thing is worth a bunch of money now
I have SoulSilver! I am the same way, especially because it was the game I got with my DSI XL for my birthday 😂
Bro Mattie your timing of these videos to relevant news is awesome keep up the good work 👏
You played Heart Gold/Soul Silver for the very first time? Holy cow, Matty! They are considered the best in the whole series. I hope you enjoyed it as much as those of us did when they first came out!
Most consider gen 5 the best tbh
@@oak7741 lol no
@@oak7741 that's been a recent take, kinda depends on which one you played as a kid. Gotta remember a lotta people hated gen 5 on release
@@TheGoldenBoot-cz1doppl don’t hate BW2 anymore which are better HGSS
@@TheGoldenBoot-cz1doit's widely regarded as the best gen now, however it definitely competes with hgss and platinum for the spot. A lot of people hated gen 5 on release due to the simple fact you had to use unova only pokemon and it made a lot of people upset which as a kid you'd be upset not being able to use your normal old gyarados throughout the main story. That's what gave it a lot of hate and then people started to appreciate the non breaking Tms, the OST, the story especially, the animated sprites, the realization of it had 151 mons added so there was going to be doomed designs and started to appreciate the good designs more, the introduction of shaking grass for easy EXP grind off audinos, and all BW did was enhance everything and added even more. BW was in my opinion better than D/P and GSC, had way less flaws than those 2 did while they're enhanced version is far better just like BW2.
Appreciate your dedication to content, Matty! Congratulations on getting engaged, happy for you brotha! Pokemon Silver was my first Pokemon game, and it took over my whole childhood after that. Heart Gold and Soul Silver as a teenager was such a great nostalgic throwback.
Just thinking about my Soul Silver copy on my shelf and the fact it's worth over $200 is wild, but something I'll never get rid of. Gen 2 is special to me.
Appreciate the love. Thanks for writing in.
one of my favorite pokemon games!! Great recap fam
This one is probably my favorite Pokemon game. It has the best things from the 4th gen with the opennes and pokemon of the 2nd gen. Playing through this is one of the best memories of my late childhood / early teenage years.
This is so nice! I still go back and replay Crystal, gold, and silver. Seeing and playing HeartGold and SoulSilver was so nice and I'm glad you got to experience it too! (And I'm super jealous you have it boxed! Omg. Hope your wound is healing after having to sell your kidney for it.)
Mets jersey, Pokémon, and you were a Battle network kid like me? You just won your self a subscriber sir.
1:55 I love that you mentioned this. Pokemon Silver helped teach me English when I moved to Australia from Korea as a very young kid.
How?
Please play Pokemon Black and White. There are other games that I have the most nostalgia for but I feel like Black and White is truly one of the best Pokemon games. All new Pokemon that forces you to play with the new creatures and helps it feel fresh. Also the best story. You could tell with that entry they truly tried to make a compelling story.
Plus that Ghetsis battle
I always fondly remember HG/SS beceause it was the first pokemon game I experienced where the pokemon would follow behind you, and seeing that as a kid on my ds was just the coolest thing. Combined with the garuanteed shiny gyrados is dope
Thanks so much for the content and I’m happy you got to have such a positive experience with this game.
This is one of the few things I still own from an “older” time in Pokémon history. When HGSS was still new, I bought this bundle pack from Walmart that included not only the complete in box game and pokéwalker but also a Ho-Oh figurine and some accessories for the pokéwalker. A wrist strap and a silicone cover with Ho-Oh on the back and Heart Gold with the logo on the front). I don’t have the original box it all came bundled in anymore but I still have everything else and it’s the pride of my collection. Gen 2 and Pokémon Gold specifically mean a lot to me and were an important part of my childhood. To be able to replay it again like this in my early adulthood and even now just brings me infinite joy.
New to your channel. As a 28 year old, this does good to many of us going back to our fav childhood memories. New subscriber and hope you find great success my brother 💪🏾
Soul silver and heart gold are the goats
Great content my friend, you play Pokémon like I do. For the love of lore, and nerding out on stats and battling! I’m subbed 🤘
I remember watching you back in the day when all you covered was Fallout, haha. Cool channel, homie.
Heartgold and SoulSilver are the pinnacle of pokemon gaming. Those games are true gems.
im so glad i convinced my mom to keep the box to my heartgold when i was younger i didnt realize how much the CIB was going for 0.0
Lovin your vids man
So happy your playing Pokémon!!
Gen 3 is my favourite Gen (both OG and OR and AS) but this is a close second. Gen 2 was so damn special to me because you were able to visit two regions and I loved the connection between the two. Also Pokemon following you was always so damn cool! Nostalgia also plays a huge role since I watched the anime back then as well. Another reason why I liked 1-4 Gens in particular more than everything after is because they were not based on a certain country (just the locations) =)
I was old enough to enjoy first gen pokemon but just aged out of it after that.... and just today I drove about 6 hours round trip to pick up copies of blue and red.... nostalgia will make you do crazy things!
This was a well thought out explanation gg sir
Masterpiece of a game
I’d forgotten how profound and mature a lot of the story beats are in Gen 2. They really don’t put a lot of focus on them in a casual play through. Like Matty mentioned, you kind of have to dig deeper to not pass them by. I can appreciate that.
I faked sick from school on release day for these games and then walked to gamestop that afternoon to buy soul silver. I’ll never forget hiding the box so my mom wouldn’t realize I left the house. And it’s still my favorite Pokémon game
That’s a dope story 👌🏼 haha
My pokewalker got lost at some point while moving to Florida a few years back and damn watching this makes me want one again, probably one of the most nostalgic things of my childhood.
Wow! That opening commercial at the beginning was something that I haven’t seen since it was on TV. Blast from the past.
I'm so glad you had the chance to play this Gen remake i had no idea that the game continued to the next gen, i was not ready for that news. Beyond dope it's virtually meta . Watching this makes me want to get it. Gen 3 is definitely my favorite too, gold was the first Pokemon game i had ever played on the Gameboy pocket. no color just black and white. However once Sapphire and Ruby came out for Advance i knew it was gonna be a game changer. and so it was.
I played this 12 years after it's initial release, as a near 30yo.... And I was amazed.... Easily the single greatest pokemon game I have played. Nothing else quite compares.
I love this remake. I'm doing it after Platinum again. Great video
Love these remake, gen 2 is my favorite of the series, it was one of the first times I remember really being invested in a game. So it was really nice to see it get touched up for the newest console at the time.
Happy to know i have the full box set still
Battling red was just the coolest moment in all Pokemon games. So sick
Funny I just started playing this yesterday.
It's like Matty can read my mind
HG and SS. Literally the best games still to this day
I remember playing pokémon Gold in 2005 when I finally got a gba, without a doubt my favorite pokémon game, day/night cycle, two regions, fighting Red, the clone pokémon/item glitch 🤣 breeding pokémon, introducing steel and dark, this game is so amazing, I haven't gotten to play the DS remakes yet! 😔
Dragon Warrior Monsters has way better breeding
Love the names for Growlithe and HO-Oh. So good lol
This may not have been your intention, but that was one of the funniest videos you've made. I enjoyed every bit of it.
The Kanto Moment 😭😭😭😭
Please do the rest of the Pokemon games you haven't played. it was amazing seeing you become a true sonic fan, that doesn't like chao but it's cool, it's cool
Whitney and her stupid miltank gave me the most hell as a kid lol
I heard about that, but I didn’t have much issue. That fighting Pokémon gym tho…
That commercial was so popular I just had the strongest bought of nostalgia, and like flew back in time. Jesus I watched a lot of TV as a kid.
My mans Matty bustin out his best Mathew Lillard impression lol
Loved the review, new sub brother! 🥂
I wish I could discover going back to Kanto for the first time again such a great twist
The moment I saw that you chose Chikorita I immediately subscribed!!! #TeamGrassStarter
I really want them to make a console game with the first 3 gen, you can move regions, and keep the travel features of the newer games
My man is wearing a Mets hoodie, i knew i liked you for some reason lol
Started with gen 2 and now currently replaying SS, the grind hell before Clair is real
i remember bringing my pokewalker into elementary school lol. still have my heartgold complete in box right on my shelf
Congratulations on your engagement! My fiance and I got engaged just a few weeks ago as well! We both wish you all the happiness in the world. Thank you so much for what you do 😊
My favorite game of all time still remember in 2009 when I picked up my first copy no other Pokémon game will compare!
I’ll never forget how this game made me feel as a kid. It was perfect and I spent a lot of my childhood with it
I remember getting Soul Silver on release day in high school and I put like 75 hours in the first week and got in a fight with my dad about how he thought I was wasting all my time that week and blowing off college prep stuff 😂
Pokewalker as a kid was sick. I had to walk my dog a few miles every day, always brought that with me
HG/SS is probably my all time favorite game, I remember my first time discovering Red in that snowy mountain, I still even have the HG/SS pokedex/guide book
Oh damn, Matty a Poké channel now? That's what's up.
The amount of hype when this game came out was just something you had a too be apart of.
Seeing gen 2 come too life on the DS in 3D was so fulfilling.
Plus the amount of content they added plus all the events they have out at GameStop just made it the best Pokémon experience for me, it was truly larger than life.
This game will forever live in my heart and soul!
Pun intended.
You should have been there for the game boy silver/gold releases! Even crazier tbh
FOR THE FIRST TIME?!
I envy you
Best Pokémon games hands down
Loving the Mets gear. Let’s go Mets baby
I was cleaning out an old dresser at my Grandma’s the other day and I found a Pokémon Red cartridge in one of the drawers. It was my old one I had as a kid cuz I couldn’t afford the newer games and I loved it. I’m trying to get a Game Boy so I can play it again.
My first midnight release I ever went to at my local mall, played it all day in the car on a family visit to Texas the next day
That sounds fun
How do you capture your gameplay footage? Do you happen to use a capture card installed on the 3DS?
The fact that they fit 2 regions, even with Kanto a little bit sparse on content is so out of this world. I heard Iwata had to come in and help them build compression technology for this to fit. Also shoutouts to the original gen 2 games, love the art style from 4 colour pallets on the Pokemon. Have you checked out the Ruins of Alph in more depth? There's a whole system and lore for that place and it's like 1 secret after the next!
Loved these games
Playing it rtn an god damn gen 2 is the hardest gen I swear, every Pokémon has some sort of bs move that makes ur Pokémon go to sleep, poisoned, burned, paralyzed, confused. I’ve been playing for 14 hours and it’s been somewhat Spain but I’m glad there’s a lot of content, too much to enjoy!
I still got the guide book for soulsilver and heartgold, theyre amazing games!
I agree 100% about rivals!
the pokedex also tells Ash: "Farfetch'd makes a delicious meal, especially when cooked with leek"
They actually picked the Pokémon that is strong against yours instead of the weak
This game has aged surprisingly well. The newer pokemon games have life of quality updates, but they are so easy.
I have to constantly fight over leveling to play the new ones. Making it so I can't fight certain wild Pokemon or having to take certain pokemon out of my team when they over leveled. Which takes some of the fun out of it. But leveling in the late game the leveling speed is good.
How have you gotten around receiving special event items/pokemon etc?
Heres my additions to the conversation;
If I recall correctly Slowpoke actually don't feel it and regrow their tails, which makes it the friendliest possible way to eat a Pokemon. lol
I have never again enjoyed Pokemon minigames as much as the Pokeathalon.
The legendary birds and Johot stand out as cool because there's what feels like actually realistic, down to Earth culture and lore surrounding it.
It's crucial to the product, but put in subtle ways.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I remember, Team Rocket only wanted to call back Giovanni with their radio shenanigans.
Level curve and grinding are brutal, but by the time you're through with it all you feel like you've really earned it.
Pokemon Heart Gold was actually my first game and why I am still into Pokemon, so, even without the gen 1 nostalgia, as a 9 year old especially finding out about Kanto, and beating Red understanding the implications, combined with everything else (THE POKEWALKER THO YOU MISSED OUT) I can confidently say they'll never make a more defining experience. It was a game that could've been extremely hollow, but they made it feel alive. Like you had a legitimate connection with the world you were acting in.
I've replayed it more times than I can count, and love it to tears.
Johto games so good. You even get to do Kanto in them. Some of the best games imo. I really like Black and White 1 and 2 as well even though a lot of people hate on those for some reason. Actually think they have a decent story for pokemon lol
Heart Gold and Soul silver were the first game boxes I ever kept as a kid. I loved the designs so much that I kept them with my ds game cases
I’m sorry for you if you only played just now this masterpiece of a game. This game is an experience. Probably one of the best games ever made
Omg you said Niagara Falls, I live there and walk the park all the time I also play Pokemon go there and I love HeartGold and souls silver. I also like my rival to be an asshole. Liked and subscribed man.
I love gen2 so much especially this remake on nds. Beautifully done and I hope we will see 2nd remake on switch with open world graphics.
My favourite pokemon games hands down - probably my favourite JRPG or at least top 3
Matty, I hope you have an “I just opened my brand new game and had to replace the battery” kind of day
My pokewalker is still out there somewhere with a couple pokemon on it
here is a sub for you buddy from a dying hard megaman battle network fan as well :)
Paused during slowpoke tail discussion about eating pokemon. In the anime, it was mentioned in Farfetch'd Pokedex entry that they had nearly been hunted to extinction for food
Gen 2 is special for sure. Gen 1 is still my favorite but man gen 2 had me grinding back in the day lol
Incredible game!!
One thing i loved about this game is none of the difficulty changed at all like whitney is still the hardest gym leader next to blue and red is still op no matter what
I started Pokemon with this game. Still looking for a Pokemon game of this scale
