Pokémon HeartGold Version

While running an errand for Elm, the player returns to find that a thief has stolen one of the professor's Pokémon.

This event starts your quest to becoming a Pokémon master, leading you through the region of Johto and later Kanto, to battle the mysterious Team Rocket and capture all 493 Pokémon.

Along with retaining most of the original game's features, HeartGold contains quite a few new updates.

Like Gold the story will incorporate the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh (who can be seen on the game's box art), although this time in a bigger fashion.

Graphics have been upgraded to 3D models to resemble the series previous Nintendo DS iterations, Diamond , Pearl , and Platinum .

The ability to have any one of your Pokémon following you on the Overworld Screen which was limitedly seen in Pokémon Yellow has been added.

Included with the game is a peripheral known as the Pokéwalker.

Acting as a pedometer, the Pokéwalker allows you to wirelessly transfer a Pokémon from HeartGold to it.

When there is a Pokémon in the Pokéwalker it gains "experience points" for each step you take.

The player also earns a form of money known as "watts", which is used to help catch other Pokémon and buy items.

The game is compatible with the following games via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection: Pokémon SoulSilver , Diamond , Pearl , and Platinum .

Pokémon HeartGold Version for Nintendo DS is currently worth €175.24 loose. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Pokémon HeartGold Version has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.

The PAL version of Pokémon HeartGold Version is currently worth €175.24 loose, versus €181.95 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
