Pokemon Heart Gold Version and Soul Silver Version: The Official Pokemon Johto Guide & Pokedex: 1 (Prima Official Game Guide)

Product Information

Team Rocket planned to emit sound waves, inducing the Magikarp in the lake to evolve into Gyarados, which caused the effect of the Red Gyarados. The Pokémon with these special forms will revert to their normal forms when used in Pokémon Battle Revolution. It's important to note that you can acquire Mareep before fighting Falkner in HGSS; you can go ahead to Route 32 and catch one in the grass just before that man who doesn't let you progress.

The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo- rival role similar to the unselected characters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Phanpy and Donphan are exclusive to HeartGold, which matches the original Japanese and Korean versions of Pokemon Gold. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same regional Pokédex as the originals, the original regional Pokédex for Johto has been slightly altered, including five Generation IV evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto. FireRed and LeafGreen gained the Dark and Steel types, which did not exist in Generation I, while Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!After receiving access to Kanto, it's possible to visit Pal Park in Fuchsia City to be able to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen into the game. SoulSilver's HG/SS version exclusives are covered by Emerald and D/P, and Platinum provides nothing exclusive unless you have an event Regigigas. In addition to asking for a specific Pokémon, it was also possible to set certain demands on this Pokémon, namely its Gender and a specific Level range. The Seafoam Islands main cave (which was unavailable in Generation II) uses the same theme as the Ice Path.

Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the Bell Tower HG/ Whirl Islands SS where they will perform a dance to summon Ho-Oh HG/ Lugia SS. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are not found in the wild in the Johto region, only being obtained as a gift from Professor Oak in Pallet Town. Going back to Saffron and traveling east, the player comes to the Kanto Power Plant where they find that an important part of a machine in the plant has been stolen and they are unable to get the machine running.HeartGold players will find Caterpie during the day and Ledyba during the morning here, making this the first route with different wild encounters between the versions. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A' while facing it, so they can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. You'll find Pidgey and Sentret during the day as well as Hoothoot and Rattata at night: Rattata is a particularly great choice for the early game due to its speed and high Attack, while the other three have better alternatives unless you like their designs.
