Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver Review

Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver review.




Introductions:

Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver are remakes of the two best games known to pokemon. They bring back the old things such as the magnet train and make new things such as that fun little GBA music thing. That is just so fun. How could you not love it? This game is perfect for old pokemon fans and the newer kinds. They made this game sort of like firered and leafgreen. They didn’t take away the classic feel, but they added new things to it. Like newer pokemon. Same comes here. So if you want to buy either one of them read this review and take my word for it. I may be a pokemon fan, but I can give a couple of bad reviews too. This game has also added a new female character in it too.

Story:

This game starts of exactly like the originals. You’re a boy who gets the opportunity to become a pokemon ranger. As you journey through the jhoto region you meet up with your rival many times. The difficulty of the rival is satisfying. It sure is better than Firered and Leafgreen. In your journey, you discover Team Rocket. The first team pokemon has ever created. The main purpose in the game is to defeat the Elite Four, which are four really strong trainers with four pokemon, and defeat the champion of Jhoto and Kanto. The Champion of Jhoto is Lance. The Champion of Kanto is Red. Like the classics Red has really high leveled pokemon. On the other hand, you can make it through the Pokemon League with your eyes closed. I have to take points away from that. Like the original two games, you can travel through the Kanto region and battle all the gym leaders. However, think about it, in Firered and Leafgreen, Brock’s strongest pokemon is an Onix at the level of 14. In this his Onix has gone up to Level 54. A 10 year old trainer comes along with his level 9 charmander and challenges the gym of pewter city. So much for being a pokemon master. Brock is the first gym leader in red and green. Now he is the sixth. That makes a lot of sense. There’s also a battle frontier. It’s very similar to the one in Pokemon Platinum.

Presentation:

I have to take points away from the use of the touch screen. I think they overuse it a bit. Also, I do like the fact that pokemon follow you, but it can get pretty annoying. Sometimes, I go to the battle frontier just to stay away from my pokemon. Point deduction. I also think how it’s sort of unfair, how some people bought this game just for the pokewalker. WHY? The pokewalker is this little flattish oval-shaped object in which you can transfer pokemon into and obtain watts. The currency of the pokewalker. A picture of a pokewalker is right above graphics. With these watts, you can go use this dowsing minigame which lets you make educated guesses on where an item is. You can also select which patch of grass to pick so you can capture pokemon. The more steps the better. You can also connect to friends with the pokewalker and battle their pokemon trainer and their team on the ds. A computer does that However. Bummer.

Graphics:

Not a lot to say about the graphics in this game. They are the same as the pokemon diamond, pearl, and platinum games. I need to deduct points for not changing graphics. The biggest graphic change is how the sprites look. Big deal.

SCORE
