Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version to Hit United States and Europe in Spring 2010

In Tribute to Legions of Pokémon Fans Worldwide, Announcement Kicked Off Pokémon World Championships

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo of America Inc. revealed today that Pokémon™ HeartGold Version and Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version for the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems will be released in spring 2010 in the United States and Europe. These newest entries for the best-selling video game franchise were announced amid the biggest Pokémon video game event of the year and in front of the top Pokémon video game and trading card game players in the world at the 2009 Pokémon World Championships.

Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version return players to the scenic Johto region first introduced in the beloved original Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver games nearly a decade ago. The richly detailed adventure of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver is now enhanced for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems with updated graphics and sound, as well as new touch-screen features and a host of surprises. Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version bring dozens of Pokémon characters back into the limelight for a new Pokémon generation – and longtime fans – to catch, train and battle.

“Announcing these much-anticipated game launches at The Pokémon World Championships allows us to give the news directly to the legions of fans who represent the true heart and soul of Pokémon,” said J.C. Smith, The Pokémon Company International’s director of marketing, who made the announcement on stage to kick off the 2009 Pokémon World Championships. “We want to thank these loyal fans by revealing the details to them first.”

The launch of Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version follows the incredible launch of Pokémon Platinum Version, which has sold more than 5.66 million copies worldwide to date.

Pokémon is one of the top children’s franchises in history. The Pokémon video game series has sold more than 193 million units worldwide since its inception 13 years ago. Additionally, Pokémon is the No. 1 collectible trading card game of all time and has shown no sign of slowing down. It boasts 374 percent sales growth in the United States alone since 2005, and is sold in more than 30 countries across the globe. Other extensions of the property include 12 seasons of the animated television series, which in 2009 will be broadcast in as many as 153 countries in more than 25 languages. Pokémon films and DVDs continue to reach fans in amazing numbers, ranking at the top of the box office in Japan.

For more information about Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, visit www.Pokemon.com.

Sooo.... March/April/May! No real surprise there, outside of the first couple generations main PKMN game releases have been put out in those months! Surprised they announced them so early on what with Platinum only a few months an still selling super well.

Same timeframe most likely about a month later like Platinum. They'll need the extra time to nerf your Game Corner again! >_>

EU gambling laws made it so they had to modify it and take out all the slots and tables.

Something about minors and gambling?

Yeah, on European Platinum the Game Corner doesn't have machines, you just find a certain number of coins on the seats.

I mean, seriously. I thought it was something to do with trying to get the game into the middle east, didn't realise it was Europe only because of the law. How daft.

Same. I played them a few times back when I first got blue version, but I almost always lost so I gave up :p.

I thought they nerfed how many coins you win. In DP you can win a ton of coins by doing the clefairy combo thing. It's nuts.

I buy all mine too. Money is pretty useless in the game when you get enough. nce you've bought a good 100 Max Revives, you really don't need it any more, and TBH if you go through 100 revives without facing the E4 25 times, then you are weak.

Why should we suffer from less content just because your government sucks?

All this time and the Europe version of Platinum had no slots? I just import the games when they come out in American, it usually ends up being cheaper. The only reason I had for playing the slots was for the TM Explosion otherwise I never did use them either.

The European version should have some kind of horse rally or something. Greyhound racing maybe. I can see like 7 Hondooms chasing a Buneary. Great money :'D

CUZ GREYHOUND RACING IS LESS GAMBLING THAN SLOT MACHINES?!

Although you do have a point, the english game should have a load of bootleg arcade games (Pacman, Snake, Space Invaders) that you get coins for winning. It's not gambling since winning/losing isn't up to chance.

Pokemon is gambling because Fire Blast is stronger but can miss. What now, shitty gaming laws?

All attacks now have 100% accuracy. Teams now only consist of Pokémon with Sturdy.

Cuz whilst you can be influenced to gamble on slot machines in real life by playing Pokemon, you still don't have a fire-breathing dragon to take "gambles" on

I didn't say there wouldn't be a simultaneous release just that its possible based on past releases. The fact that both versions are being announced this early, before the games are even out in Japan, gives NoA & NoE at least 7 months to work on these. They prolly already began pre-production so just have hope!
