Sup guys. I finally purchased Pokemon HeartGold today (I wanted SoulSilver but my little brother claimed it first :P ), here are some quick first impressions.

I've definitely felt the nostalgia in the first couple of hours, and it's awesome. The graphics are a nice step up from Diamond/Pearl, the remade music is fantastic, and while some might complain about the original, grainy Pokemon screeches still in the game, I think it's awesome. The gameplay setup is practically identical to D and P, with a few tweaks made here and there, such as not having to hold down B to run all the time as it does it automatically.

The Pokewalker has me pleasently surprised. It is very well built, and it's very addicting to use. It really takes me back to the days of having Tomagachi/pocket pet devices and it's really sweet.

HeartGold/SoulSilver is a fantastic game so far, and I have many, many hours ahead of me. If you have a DS and like an addictive RPG, get it.
