Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver (DS)

Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver (DS) are remakes of the 1999 Game Boy Color role-playing video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, which also include elements from Pokémon Crystal. The games were developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo DS as part of the fourth generation of the Pokémon video game series. The games were released in Japan on September 12, 2009, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Gold and Silver, and were later released in other regions in March 2010.

HeartGold and SoulSilver take place in the Johto and Kanto regions of the franchise's fictional universe, which features special creatures known as Pokémon. The basic goal of the game is to become the best Pokémon trainer in both the Johto and Kanto regions, which is accomplished by raising and cataloging Pokémon and defeating other trainers.

Shigeki Morimoto, the game's director, aimed to respect the feelings of those who had previously played the games while also making it feel like a new game to those who had been introduced to the series in recent years. The games received positive reviews from critics, and as of March 2014, the combined sales of the two games had reached 12.72 million, making the two games the eighth best-selling DS video games of all time.
