Play Pokemon - HeartGold Version Online

Pokemon HeartGold Version came out for the Nintendo DS in 2010, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. It was a remake of the original Gold and Silver games, arriving late in the DS lifecycle when players were used to dual screens and touch controls, but it still felt fresh with its polished presentation and expanded world.

You control a young trainer starting in New Bark Town, choosing one of three starter Pokemon before setting out to explore the Johto and Kanto regions. Your main goal is to collect eight gym badges, defeat the Elite Four, and complete the Pokedex by catching and training Pokemon. Signature mechanics include having your lead Pokemon follow behind you on the overworld, and the Pokéwalker accessory, a pedometer that let you transfer a Pokemon to a physical device and gain experience by walking in real life. The pacing is steady, with plenty of side activities like the Bug Catching Contest and the Battle Frontier to break up the journey. It feels like a generous, content rich adventure that respects your time while offering deep customization for your team.
