Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver are the 2009 Nintendo DS remakes of the beloved Gold & Silver, set in the Johto region — a land of tradition, mythology, and two legendary birds (Ho-Oh and Lugia) whose absence shapes the world as much as their presence. Sixteen gyms across two regions, a rival who might be the franchise's most compelling character, and a post-game climb up Mt. Silver to face Red in silence that remains one of gaming's great moments.
