Nothing beats the sheer content that game had, let alone the incredible music, atmosphere, and even little diversions they had you go on like the Ampharos in the lighthouse! If they ever stop making new generations of pokemon, I'd love to see them remake every game in the latest engine. This would always be my go to.

POV: It is 2021. You are not a kid anymore but you are here to experience the nostalgic feeling of remembering the countless hours of fun you had as a kid playing this masterpiece of a game. You have probably tried booting up your old DS Lite / DSi trying to relieve the magic once more at this age. But the feeling just wasn't the same. You got bored of playing relatively quickly. So all you can do now, is to sit back, relax and try to feel even a fraction of the fun you had as a kid by listening to this music.

I got given a copy of HGSS for my 7th birthday. I remember that day staying up all day playing the game fascinated by the world of Pokemon sneaking my DS in my bedroom as it was already past my bedtime. As a kid I moved around a lot my family needing to move due to work reasons. I lived in a lot of really incredible places in those years though I struggled to make friends due to moving so much. My favorite place was always the world of pokemon no matter how many different places I went my Pokemon stayed with me. I'm now 18 in college, I still love pokemon though the new games fail to capture the magic the older games had for me. This music reminds of walking around the Jhoto region with all my pokemon, and all the memories I formed. Thank you for uploading a great compilation.

I know it's a year later, but we're the same age and had the same experience. My family too was forced to move around for my dad's job. I completely feel what you've felt. It was amazing, but lonely at the same time. Having no roots to plant isn't easy, especially for a kid.

Absolutely loved this game to pieces. I wish I could walk up Route 47 57:18 for the first time again. It was magical running along the ocean/cliff's edge while hearing that music. Still waiting for the day Pokemon makes another game where they put in so much content that it keeps me playing for 300+ hours, just like what HGSS did.

SoulSilver was my first ever Pokemon game. It was the summer of 2010, and my brother and my sister both had Pearl. I saw the enjoyment they had when playing the games and wanted one myself. I begged my parents until they decided to get me a Pokemon game. Seeing Lugia on the front package and reading the description of the game for the first time is an unforgettable feeling. What was even more unforgettable was booting up the game and picking my first ever starter, Chikorita. Discovering everything new about the game and catching every Pokemon I encountered was fun in my eyes. I didn't need to worry about anything in the real world while playing SoulSilver with my Chikorita. The thrill of battling and beating each gym, the awestruck feeling of finally meeting Lugia, and the excitement to battle and catch Lugia , my first legendary, will always be engraved in my memories. Unfortunately, the progress and journey I made in SoulSilver was accidentally erased by a relative, including my first partner. Only four Pokemon from my Johto journey had escaped from being erased: My Kingdra, Swampert, Vaporeon, and my lovely Lugia, all who were chilling in my White 2 game. I will never forget the feelings and memories I made with SoulSilver and I'm always grateful that I had grown up with Pokemon, as well as being grateful for the Pokemon that still live on from my original journey (ESPECIALLY my Lugia). I'm now 20 years and enjoying Scarlet with its open world and lovely glitches, but I'm planning on revisiting SoulSilver one day since I still have the game with me and starting a whole new journey with Chikorita, as if I was 8 years old all over again. Thank you SoulSilver for changing my life forever and being part of my childhood.

[@crazymonkeyr1091]

I know not many people are going to see this, but this is the story of a wee lad and his Pokémon journey through life... It started back in 2010-2011, when my brothers birthday in September came along and he got his own copy of Pokémon Heartgold. Now at this point me and my brother were sharing a ds, but it was rightfully my brothers so he spent most of his time on it, but let me play every once in a while. My brother and I fell in love with the game in a heart beat, and even though we weren't the best and could barely make it halfway through the game, the experience was legendary. When my birthday rolled along in late October, our parents had ordered my a ds a long with my own copy of Soulsilver. I had to wait a few days before my ds would arrive at the post office, but just having the game cartridge was amazing on it's own, think of all the amazing virtual adventures I'd have once I loaded up the game for the first time. Re-Reading the the back of the box over, excitement over taking me as all I could do was wait to start my very first adventure, not realizing this adventure would consume my life for the years to come. Now when my ds arrived at the post office a few days later, I was the happiest I think any living human being could be. I put the game in, asked my brother to help me load up the first game and get past all the tutorials that confused me more than they should have, though I was 6. My first starter was Cyntaquil, and it was the cutest but most badass Pokémon out of all the Pokémon I found in the game, which wasn't very far in to the full game, for I still was a 6 year old kid that couldn't figure out the not so complex story of the Johto region. This went on for years, even ending up using an action replay on one of many save files to get my next favorite Pokémon Nidoking to lvl 100 and sweeping the entire game. Of course, I did end up laying down the game for some years as more new games like Diamond and Black and Black 2 came along. I was crazy for Pokémon and I didn't really stop playing until the 7th grade where at that point, I had decided to sell my 3ds along with many games previously mentioned, which unbeknown to me was one of the most regretful decisions of my life. Now we'll skip to a few more years later, Grade 10 and well on my way through high school. When winter rolled along, my head was back into Pokémon. I got a NEW 3ds along with Moon and I had a blast playing through the game with Decidueye, and it reminds me of all the amazing times I had with my old games and I want to play them again. I know I hadn't sold my SS(Soulsilver) and D(Diamond) games, and though I was able to relocate my D game, SS was nowhere to be found, only an empty case. Later on, out of nowhere, covid hits. Now at this point a lot of time normally spent at school was now free time since the online classes were still new and there wasn't much for me to do as I had already been flying through my classes. I end up spending some time cleaning out my closet when boom, under the boxes and boxes of old toys and clothes, my singular cartridge of SS had been found. I remember how absolutely over joyed I was, I literally was jumping for joy. It wasn't like I could tell anyone how I felt, since my brother had moved on from those games years prior, almost being a high school graduate(though he never sold his games and still has them to this day). I was ecstatic and immediately ran for my 3ds and popped in the game, hoping it would still run, thinking, "pls don't be broken, oh wait, do I still have an old save file? what could there be???". I found that it was an action replay file and i had several lvl 100's, such as Dragonite, Metagross, and Togekiss. I also found that it was the same file that had my lvl 100 Nidoking from the many years prior through photographer photos that I found in my pc. Though I don't remember what happen to my Nidoking, I knew how much I loved the Pokémon and couldn't wait to start a new file and build an amazing team with my more mature knowledge of the game. I used my old ds and my 3ds to save some of the Pokémon that I wanted to cherish as well as some items that were hacked into the game such as lucky eggs and master balls. When I started the new file, It was so much fun. Running though all the old places I used to fail to progress through without over lvled Pokémon. I built a team, naming each character after a titan in Titanfall 2 cause that was a game I loved playing at the time. I captured my favourite pokemon Typhlosion and Nidoking as well as some new members I never tried before like ampharos and espeon. I went all the way to the elite 4, trained my pokemon to lvl 63 each, and beat the elite 4 with a full team with 50 hours already put into the one save file. I flew through Kanto right after, teaching better moves to my team , like earthquake and posion jab to nidoking. I trained on the new elite 4 again to lvl 85 which took me to a save file time of 110 hours. I the took on red and beat the entire game. I found out that I could also grab a kanto and hoenn starters and saved them for a new run I would do later on. I since the ran through the game more than 3 times, wracking up all the starts from 4 regions, johto, kanto, hoenn, and sinnoh. My collection has since been complete and I wracked up 2 full pc slots full of different pokemon I used in my runs to help me complete my quest. In gr 12 was when I started my first hardcore nuzlocke of the game with my friend, whom used my brothers old cartridge and ds. He had no previous experience and I help him try and go through the whole process which he was pretty good at. Right now, he has since lost his runs to bugsy 2 times, silver in front of the 2nd gym once, and morty once, and has given up on the nuzlocke, which was a bit disheartening for me since I had still been going strong on my 3rd run through at the 6th gym. It's been a few months since then, And through my progress I have build a strong line up of 8 pokemon, one of them being my first ever shiny in the game, a Gloom, and he is the coolest pokemon ever. I evoled him to a vile plume and trained him up to lvl 50 for the elite 4 along with a few of the other pokemon on the line up, such as Starmie with a perfect nature, Gengar, Typhlosion, umbreon, Skarmory, Heracross, and Gyarados (not red). I haven't been playing for a while since uni started, but I hope to get back into it soon. Thanks for reading this, if anyone has, and I hope Pokemon has made your lives so much better just like mine :) Luv all of you

HeartGold was my 1st Pokémon game. Loved it to bits even if I didn't know what I was doing most of the time. Furret happens to be my favorite Pokémon and Bell/Tin Tower is my favorite song from the games. So the picture even sells it for me

[@rhyanonstuddert7384]

Thanks so much. This is my all time favourite Pokemon game and hearing this again is so nostalgic.

[@BopWalk]

I started Pokemon with Gen 3 (FireRed & Sapphire) and playing through Heart Gold Version years later, it was freaking surreal going back to the Kanto region and hearing all the gen 2 remixed music of Kanto. It was like a huge surprise.

[@lukejohnson1698]

This makes me want to cry, damn nostalgia :(

[@Nebulous1225]

I’m floored how well I remember some of these songs after completely forgetting about their existence

[@Ich-Bin-Hendrik]

crazy how I still come back to this playlist, hgss music is just so chill :)

[@gus9960]

I remember when I was little that I was a big fan of Pokemon, unfortunately I couldn't play because we had a bad economic situation at home, but years later thanks to a mobile emulator I was able to play. For me the best pokemon game ever!

[@SammyPlayzRoblox]

that's sweet

[@black_leaf_uwu]

I was very young when HGSS first came out, but i remember my brother getting Heartgold for his birthday. Years later He let me play with it, and now I'm here remembering all the good times. HGSS were really the best games, even for younger generations

[@maxance2356]

The soundracks are so great that I can recognize every OSTs and their locations, even though I've never listened to them in years... That just shows how incredible HGSS was and how much nostalgia it brings to us... Truly a testament of the greatness the franchise was used to

[@prodpresentday]

When did I get so old that this is my nostalgia. I miss this game.

[@TippyPhoenix35]

Thanks for this compilation, the official OST only has 1 loop per song so I appreciated your upload having 2 loops of each!

[@samandchill577]

:)

[@darkroselight3835]

This has been such a delight to listen to. Thank you for putting this together! Johto will always have a special place in my heart. This is my favorite region. My beloved Chikorita, and catching my first Spinarak. The introduction of Umbreon and Espeon! I hope Johto get's to come to the switch, or even the next consol. I'd love to see a version of these games with upgraded graphics.

[@Mazillion]

I spent so long on this game, and I never got bored. It’s such a masterpiece and probably influenced me as a kid enough to get into playing music. I’ll never forget it 😭

[@delireent.3960]

57:18 This one was always nostalgic to me, even in 2011 but now that time passed, this is even more nostalgic!! HGSS isn't my favorite game (I preferred Black 2) but it was my first game so it's the most important to me. All this time with my meganium running through the beautiful backgrounds of Johto and Kanto, doing all the sides quest, playing pokeathlon, and just chilling. And, Does someone remember the GB sound?? This simple object could change the music into 8bit!!! I used this object a lot!!! I really need a Johto remake!

[@KbezukoElDestructor]

This is my favourite Pokémon music compilation right now. It includes some of my favourites, Cianwood City and National Park, and I listen to it all the time while studying for university. It's the end of the first semester and exams are coming up, so I'm really busy studying and these Pokémon/Nintendo music compilations help make it less boring.

[@lilaclupin]

End of the second semester, I'm still studying with this. These archaeology classes are kicking my ass

[@kylethenoble1211]

Man this game just takes me back man I completely forgot about the pokéwalker that'd be for walking your Pokémon around in a lil poke ball themed toy it was super cute I always loved importing my Pokémon into them.

[@Zlazor1]

End of 2009, I was 5 years old and i got into a store and saw this game in a large box that contained the game and the additional Pokéwalker, grabbed chikorita since i didn't even know how to switch pokeball in the starter choosing menù and got blocked into the bell tower because i couldn't find the place to hop on because of the giant wodden pillar in the middle blocking the whole vision and gave up, after I don't know how many years I remembered the game and found out that i was blocked on a stupid place where i could have head out pretty easily, still continued the run and finished it on the league thinking that it was the end. Found out about Red and Kanto after another couple of years, so yeah, my journey on a single game was endless and lasted about 6 years in just a save file and I'm happy it was my first Pokémon game. (Plus note: I didn't even know how to use the Pokéwalker and gave up on it too, lol I was so dumb, but again I was very little and innocent).

[@kingofgames93]

Gold was my favorite of them all. It was Johto AND Kanto. HeartGold is probably my favorite of all time. I got it and was so excited and finished it in 3 days. so many good memories

[@melancholy_maddy]

This will forever be my favorite of all the Pokémon games. Hearing these songs fills me with nostalgia because heartgold was my very first pokemon game when I was in fourth grade

[@Qrow022]

I really like the animated gif. It's very cute

[@gordonfreeman5872]

comfy

[@sophies806]

SoulSilver was my first Pokémon game and it will always be my favorite. If only I could go back and play it again for the first time. I was also excited to receive the Pokéwalker. I remember taking my Sandshrew on a field trip to the museum and taking care of it. Also the Pokémon sprites go hard. Especially the overworld walking sprites.

[@LRUniversely]

Hearing this music always brings me back to my childhood

[@tie_dyebeats]

It's funny, when I played HG/SS I was nostalgic for the original games that I played when they released, I was like 7 years old. Now, more than 10 years after HG/SS I feel the same nostalgia for the remakes. Thanks for the collection, some of these tunes will stay with me till the day I die!

[@hellamander3499]

listening as i finish my last assignments ever for college :) thank you for the calming and lovely nostalgia trip!!

[@logangardner796]

This soundtrack was really soothing back in the day while growing up in a tumultuous environment.

[@i2cybeast]

I remember my dad buying me this game much to the indignation of my mother after I failed my maths exam in 2010. After that, I averaged a B+ for my maths exams all the way. Thanks dad for believing in me.

[@bencollins4343]

i haven’t played this game in years, yet i still remember the majority of the songs. forgot how much i loved this game

[@alepotenza718]

Ecruteak at 18:43 and National Park at 34:03 are my favourite

[@Migerthor]

Same.

I remember catching a butterfree in national park on my first try. Truly one of my best moments in childhood. 😌

It's good to hear this nostalgic songs, to bring you back to those days when there was nothing bad, nothing to be worry about, just you, your DS and your pokemon.

[@randomRyze]

This is especially nostalgic for me because I used Furret in my first playthrough.

[@wavvy94]

Been listening to this as a study playlist since I began my degree 4 years ago and I just finished my last ever exam, shoutout to Ethan and his lil Furret just vibing in Ecruteak City while I was having a meltdown trying to solve differential equations 🫠

Azalea is a masterpiece !

[@Nintendo3DSdude1]

Listening to these bring back memories. My first Pokémon game was the original Gold (even though we were on Gen 3 by then) and I didn’t play any other Pokémon game until HeartGold. Johto will always be my “home” in the Pokéverse.
