Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

Meant to post this when it came out but was having a few problems with the vamped up figure.fm.

A few days ago, the remake of Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal came out, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver here in the US. Its a Pokemon game that goes back to the Johto and Kanto regions in 4th generation Pokemon DS style.

Loved Pokemon Crystal back in my middle school days. I pre-ordered this game and got it a day after it came out here in the states.
Playing this game brings a very nostalgic feeling, but at the same time the new features of the 4th generation of Pokemon Game boy gaming keeps it new and exciting. Along with the game comes an accessory, called the Pokewalker. It allows you to transfer one of your Pokemon into the device and raise its experience and happiness, while able to catch some Pokemon and gain items that you can transfer back into your game.

Its compatible with the D/P/Pt Pokemon games and you can transfer Pokemon from FR/LG and R/S/E via Pal Park using the GBA slot in the DS and DS lite.

About 10 years ago, did you play the original Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal? I remember those times when link cables and infrared mystery gift were so hard to do because of bad connections. The DS to DS connection is pretty solid and the Pokewalker to game connection is not that bad either. Before HG/SS came out, I was able to replace the battery in my old PKMN Crystal just to play it a bit and listen to the old 8 bit music.
