Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions are fourth generation remakes of the second generation Gold and Silver Versions for the Nintendo DS. It is modified with improved graphics and features akin to those from the fourth generation Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl and Pokémon: Platinum Version, as well as new features and storyline alterations.
Version Differences
The game features a new graphical style, with some areas being redesigned. The game also has gender selection, with the character of the unselected gender becoming a secondary rival character (similar to the relationship between Brendan and May or Lucas and Dawn in previous games. The game also oddly enough borrows a feature from Pokémon: Yellow Version by allowing one Pokémon to follow the trainer around outside of its Pokéball, although unlike Yellow any of the 493 Pokémon can be selected for this. Other changes include alterations to the breeding system, in which it is now possible for Pokémon to inherit physical traits of Pokémon who are of a different species.
The game also includes improvements to the storyline. Groudon. Kyogre and Rayquaza will be catchable despite being from the third generation, while a new event involving Cynthia and Arceus will also figure into the game somehow.
Connectivity
HeartGold and SoulSilver will be capable of connecting with Diamond, Pearl and Platinum to trade and battle Pokémon (but like FireRed and LeafGreen, there might be conditions which must be met to unlock connections between the games).
The game will also be packaged with the PokéWalker, a Pokéball-shaped pedometer. A Pokémon can be transferred into the PokéWalker, and it will gain experience and happiness as the player walks.
