Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Today's the release of the new Pokemon games in Japan. Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

I spent a lot of time playing the original Pokemon Silver on the Gameboy Color when it was finally released. So I'll be very excited when these remakes hit the stores in the States. I'm always thrilled with remakes. Especially when my favorite games are remade with better graphics and sounds. And being on the DS will take these games places the Gameboy couldn't with integrating the DS touch screen and the capabilities of 3D graphics.

But what I'm really excited about is this new gadget called the PokeWalker.

Technically it's a pedometer/tamagotchi virtual pet device in which you can store a Pokemon from you HeartGold or SoulSilver Pokemon game. The PokeWalker is packed with the game when you buy them.

Anyway, after you store your Pokemon in the PokeWalker, the more you walk around with it, the more Experience Points the Pokemon gains. Hence the pedometer part. Your Pokemon can also find items as you walk, even rare items. I hope the PokeWalker also makes it to the States when the English version of the games arrive.
