HeartGold SoulSilver Is Peak Pokémon

I'm talking Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver!!! My thoughts on the games, the state of the series leading up to them, and how they impacted the series afterwards. These are some of my favorite Pokémon games so I'm glad I can finally talk about them in a video!!!

The Void is a channel where I talk video games, movies, or whatever else pops into my tiny brain! My videos are mainly gonna revolve around game reviews but I do branch out from time to time. Bottom line is I like making videos! Watch em! (Or not idk I'm not the boss of you)

If you liked this video check out a little something I made for game remakes!!!

I talk Local Multiplayer!!!

Ds era of pokemon is just peak in general

[anscomber]

One thing not mentioned here is that 4th gen basically perfected battle mechanics. The physical/special split really does a lot for the game.

My first Pokémon game was Pokémon Yellow, but I eventually had HeartGold. That game was amazing, and I say that as someone who played the original Crystal Version. It was probably one of the best Pokémon games I ever played

[OwenDW]

I actually really like the level gaps and resulting grinding of this game. It’s the only Pokémon game where a gym leader can actually whoop your ass and that’s how it should be

[Cfreezy]

I remember when leveling my Pokémon I would go to the final area on the mountain where red was and just beat the ever loving crap out of the rapidash in the grass 😂

Platinum, Emerald, HGSS, and the BW/BW2 games are peak pokemon

[LovelyAlanna]

it's because it wasn't that edgy back then, we have no "eternatus", no gods of creation around, no ultranecrozma, no guzlords destroying worlds or other stupid nonsense, we have this fire bird who brought back 3 eevees and that's pretty much it, go explore, have fun, hey, the pokemon follow you, ain't that cute?, look at those ruins, ancient civilizations were a thing, but don't think too much into it, go get some medals, remember kanto? it's back, in pog form, see now why those games are top pokemon?

[Dawftones]

having started the pokémon series with soul silver it made the best childhood ever. im still mad i lost my pokewalker as a child too…

[jroe]

that platinum-BW2 era of pokemon was absolutely perfect. idk if there will ever be a pokemon era that can even rival this

[TsukiStuffs]

i wish i started with literally any other game, cause once you've played the best no other pokemon game will ever be the same. good video

chikorita chads rise up

Playing through it right now, just got the eight gym badge, I’m terrible with concentration and didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as when I was a kid, but it still holds up. One of the best games ever

[SpadeDraco]

Gen 2 (and the remakes by extension of course) just felt like a really pure-hearted attempt to give fans of the Gen 1 games more of what they loved.
Alot of the flaws people find in it came about because of this. Stuff like the rarity of Gen 2 pokemon.
The fact that there were 150(+1) pokemon was marketed heavily with the first release and became iconic. They wanted finding a new species to be a cool, somewhat hidden fun discovery. They also didn't want to completely replace people's old favorites with a whole new pokedex (something they dropped in Gen 3)

13:27 I’m subbing bc brooo same here . Heart gold is one of the best games Pokemon has ever made, but Pokémon w/b will always be my favorite .

[GloriousGrunt]

I find they definitely have the most replayability for me

[nsiderultimaseth]

Love the shoutout at the beginning to the atmosphere of the Pokemon fandom at the time of these games' release. I remember walking with a friend of mine when she turned to me and said "Did you hear they're doing remakes of Silver and Gold?" I stared at her, my mouth hanging open in shock.

"No way. I don't believe you."

"Yeah. They're going to be on the DS."

We were THRILLED. Everyone at my high school was walking around with Pokewalkers. We were ecstatic over the follow Pokemon, the added features like the Safari Zone, and there was just this atmosphere of Poke-joy that I had not experienced since being a TRULY little kid, and didn't experience again until X and Y. As an adult, I honestly get to connect with my friends more over Pokemon than I did as a kid. But with the quality of the games, the atmosphere just isn't there. I hope GameFreak turns it around and gives us a title like HGSS again.

9:33 although I agree, I do like the original cave theme much more than the remake. Awesome video man. This deserves way more views IMO.

[ImInGoodNick]

You’ve got good energy in this video mate

[theonefreeman]

I feel that we are kindred spirits. I loved these games back in the day, and the DS era was so phenomenal, from the art style to the music. I feel some very real nostalgic pains knowing that the days when these games were relevant lies nearly 15 years in the past. It hurts me to feel this nostalgia, but videos like these help me re-appreciate those times again. And yes I had a pokewalker!

[GabrielEsguerra-iz]

Any pokemon game where you could walk alongside your pokemon is goat

[thejustinjustin]

Hands down the best games in the series. Having the incredible ds graphics at the time with the return to kanto, it was so damn good. It’s something that I want to replay at 24 years old.
