Pokemon HeartGold Version returns you to the scenic Johto region first introduced in the beloved original Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver games nearly a decade ago. The richly detailed adventure of Pokemon Gold is now enhanced for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems with updated graphics and sound, as well as new touch-screen features and a host of surprises. Pokemon HeartGold Version brings dozens of Pokemon characters back into the limelight for a new Pokemon generation - and longtime fans - to catch, train and battle.
Pokewalker included:
The brand-new Pokewalker brings a dimension to Pokemon games that you have never seen before. The Pokewalker is a special pedometer that you carry with you that lets you take Pokemon fun wherever you go! You can transfer a Pokemon onto the Pokewalker accessory using an infrared connection between the Pokewalker and your Game Card. Then as you Stroll around with your Pokemon, you will earn Experience Points to gain a level. And you can even find items and special Pokemon while you are on the go! The Pokewalker is small enough that you can keep it in your pocket and take wherever you go. It also has a clip to hook it on your belt, and a hole for attaching a strap. It’s never been easier to take Pokemon with you!
The Pokewalker counts the number of steps you take as you walk around. The more steps you take, the more Watts you earn, which you can spend to find items and Pokemon!
When you transfer a Pokemon from your game into your Pokewalker, you can select which Route you would like to take your Pokemon along. Depending on which Route you take (such as in a grassland or by the sea), you will encounter different wild Pokemon and find remarkable items. When you first begin your journeys with the Pokewalker, the list of Routes you can select from is short. But, the more you take a Stroll with your Pokemon, the more Routes will appear and the more Pokemon and items you will be able to get!
Catch Wild Pokemon!
After you’ve collected some Watts by going on a Stroll with your Pokemon, spend some of them to use the PokeRadar to catch wild Pokemon! If you see tall grass rustling after you use the PokeRadar, you know you have found a Pokemon. You have three options in the battle. You can attack, evade, or catch the wild Pokemon. By attacking, you can wear down the wild Pokemon to make it easier to catch. If you choose to evade when the wild Pokemon attacks, you will perform a counterattack! And when you think the timing is right, throw a PokeBall to catch the Wild Pokemon. You can keep up to three caught Pokemon in your Pokewalker at a time. If you catch a fourth Pokemon, you must choose one of them to set free.
Find Items!
Use the Dowsing Machine to help find items. Like the PokeRadar, you use the Watts you earned while walking to use the Dowsing Machine. Some of the items you can find are quite uncommon! When you use the Dowsing Machine, you will see six patches of tall grass, and one of them has a hidden item in it. You have only two chances to discover the item! Some of the items you can get are really hard to find and very valuable, so keep hunting!
