Pokemon HeartGold for Nintendo DS Catches Pokemon Fans

Just yesterday at the airport I saw a whole plane painted with Pokemon characters. It all started twelve years ago and now they're everywhere. Although I am personally not a huge fan of it, I am totally aware of the Pokemon phenomenon. There's something about those little cartoon creatures that makes people feel the urge that they "gotta collect them all". Pokemon span all aspects of the entertainment industry including video games of course.

There are a bunch of Pokemon video games for the Nintendo DS out there like Pokemon SoulSilver, Pokemon Platinum, and Pokemon Pearl just to name a few. Recently though the Pokemon world has a new popular Pokemon game called Pokemon Heartgold for the Nintendo DS. In this review we'll go over just what makes Pokemon Heartgold so amazing and give you a better overview on what you can expect. The game recently came out May 2010 and already has hundreds of thousands of fans dying to get their hands on it. Although I have never played it I'm fully aware that it exist as a friend of mine has recently become addicted to his recent purchase of Pokemon HeartGold and plays it all the time.

Pokemon Heartgold takes place in a region called Johto, and it is for the most part the same story as most of the other Pokemon games. You are summoned to a lab and a scientist asks you to help him do some research and then you're off into to world to do as you like. Although only the most diehard Pokemon fans will really notice a difference it is enhanced and a step up from the previous Pokemon games. The basic concept is still highly addictive to most any player with all the catching training, and battling involved. You catch various Pokemon and train them up to fight against each other and then battle other trainers to test your skill. There are some new updates to Pokemon Heartgold such as your main Pokemon can walk around beside you out of the pokeball. There are also new Pokeathlon minigames such as Relay Run, Hurdle Dash, and Snow Throw.

Pokemon Heartgold doesn't exactly push the gameplay of it's predecessors but it does however bring the game up to speed as far as visuals and buffing of the formula for the DS. However if you are a Pokemon fan Pokemon Heartgold for the Nintendo DS is a must. It is an improvement to the series, and the ever addicting Pokemon formula and enhancements in Heartgold will quench your thirst to "catch em all" better than ever.
