You live in a small town in the Johto region called New Bark Town,
you depart on an adventure when you receive one Pokemon from Professor Elm,
the Pokemon researcher who lives in your neighborhood.
Meetings with various different people and Pokemon await you!
Three years ago in Kanto, “Team Rocket,” an oranization that
uses Pokemon for evil, has now resurfaced.
What could they be planning?
You get caught in the mess during your travels,
can you drive Team Rocket away!?
At the beginning of the adventure, strong Pokemon trainers
challenge the awaiting Gym Leaders. Battle the Gym Leaders, who have been
acknowledged by the Pokemon League and collect all of the “Badges” as proof!
Now, aim to be the ultimate Pokemon Trainer, and depart on your adventure in the Johto region!
<u><i>The Heroes: Gold and Soul</i></u>

He commits that Pokemon only serve you, and that the strongest survive. He is your Rival.
<u><i>Professor Elm</i></u>

Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon abilities. He also specializes in Pokémon breeding, and is credited with the discovery of Pokémon eggs. He gives you your first starter Pokemon.

* Gold receives a redesign while a new player character, Soul, replaces Kris.
* The DS's 3D capabilities are utilized in selecting the starter Pokémon.
* The PokéGear has been redesigned. Now, it features two designs, one blue and white for males and another white and pink for females.
* Johto's Pokédex interface has been redesigned
* An image of certain locations, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen, appears when entering the location.
* Team Rocket Grunts are designed like they were in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level.
* Uses the same Graphics Engine used in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of following the player similar to Pikachu in Yellow. CoroCoro showed examples of several examples including Steelix and Wobbuffet. Shininess is apparently retained. More specific details are currently unknown.
* Similarly to the event Shaymin and Regigigas's effect on Platinum, the Pikachu-colored Pichu to be given to those who have pre-ordered tickets to the twelfth movie will unlock an event near the Ilex Forest Shrine featuring the Notched-ear Pichu.
* The Pokémon storage system, bag, party interface and the screen that pops up when pressing the Start or X buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* Groudon and Kyogre will appear in SoulSilver and HeartGold, respectively, after the Elite Four, and Rayquaza can be caught in both games once the other members of its trio are brought into the game.
* Cynthia and Arceus are shown together in a new section of the Ruins of Alph named the Shinto Ruins. This event will allow players to obtain either Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina at level 1.
Like the GBA Wireless Adapter that came with FireRed and LeafGreen, HeartGold and SoulSilver will be packaged with a bonus: a Poké Ball-shaped pedometer called the PokéWalker that will link to the games and hold a Pokémon, increasing its experience and happiness as the wearer walks.
