Content overview: “5 Reasons Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Are Still The Best Entries 17 Years Later”. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, released for the Nintendo DS, continue to be celebrated as the pinnacle of the Pokémon series nearly two decades after their debut.

One of the most beloved additions is the Pokéwalker, a pedometer accessory that allowed players to transfer a Pokémon and level it up by walking in real life.
