A ground-breaking rpg

User Rating: 9.5 | Pocket Monsters HeartGold DS
It seems that nintendo has again re-released an old pokemon and refurbish it with better graphics and new features. Usually their re-releases are pretty boring platinum and emerald were pretty much the same as diamond pearl, ruby and saphire. Did nintendo make a great re-release? YES! The graphics they gave this game are outstanding the picture quality is great and have an interesting 3d yet 2d feel to it. The new layout was a great help and made it so much easier to access things like your pokemon and bag. Their new running scheme was also great and my finger thanks nintendo for making so we don't need to always hold down "B". My favorite feature this game has is that the pokemon in slot 1 will screw pokeBALLS and follow you around. Another cool feature is this guy kurt who'll make you pokeBALLS that aren't available in stores. The basic gameplay hasn't changed and the battle layout is the same as diamond pearl and platinum. Overall this is a great edition to your pokemon collection and I hope all games in the series that follow model this game.
