Much like how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as | Much like how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]].

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place.

The plot of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are mostly the same as Gold and Silver with a few changes and included plot elements exclusive to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].

[[Player character|The player]], either {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}} begins his journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark Town, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark Town, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure. | ||
Upon arriving at Violet City, the player must first defeat the Elder [[Li]] at [[Sprout Tower]] before facing the Violet City gym. He has just been defeated by [[Silver]] and after defeating Li, he gives the player {{m|Flash}}. After defeating Falkner for the {{badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are sacred in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a [[Lure Ball]] and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up that is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. The Day Care functions the same way as in other [[Generation IV|Generation IV games]]. If these Pokémon are [[Egg group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon Egg]] can be produced. | Upon arriving at Violet City, the player must first defeat the Elder [[Li]] at [[Sprout Tower]] before facing the Violet City gym.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood City. There, they encounter the {{type2|Fighting}} type Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine City. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{type2|Steel}}. When the player gets their sixth badge, the {{badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s. | The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]].

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}.

Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type2|Ice}} Gym Leader. | ||
Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower. | Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]].

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence.

Deciding to take on the gyms of Kanto, the player enters the gym in Vermillion City, defeating [[Lt. Surge]] who specializes in {{type2|Electric}} types, and earning the {{badge|Thunder}}. The player travels north to [[Saffron City]] and enters the gym there defeating [[Sabrina]], who specializes in {{type2|Psychic}} types and had envisioned the player's arrival three years prior, and earns the {{badge|Marsh}}. Still, in Saffron, the player encounters the [[Copycat]] in her new house who seems to have misplaced her Pokémon doll.

The player then moves throught the [[Rock Tunnel]] arriving at [[Lavender Town]] where they discover that the former [[Pokémon Tower]] has now become a Radio Tower for Kanto.
