Pokemon HeartGold SoulSilver launch center

While a lot of the things we loved as kids haven’t stood the test of time (we're looking at you Street Sharks), Pokemon has managed to be much more than just a flash in the pan. This week marks the release of the latest addition to the main Pokemon series, HeartGold and SoulSilver. We liked these snazzy remakes, so we’re collecting all our Poke-info for you in one convenient spot. While these guides were written with Diamond/Pearl in mind, all the info here is 100% applicable to HeartGold and SoulSilver as the games share the same Generation IV rules.

Pokemon, much like the cockroaches in your slovenly apartment, have been multiplying. With the grand total at 493 and more on the way via the recently announced Generation V, we’ve gone ahead and revamped our massive Pokedex compendium with new images and updated info. So get out there and get training, your Evee’s EV isn’t going to level itself.
