Much like Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen revisited the Generation I story of Kanto, HeartGold and SoulSilver will revisit the story of Johto, with the player's starting area being New Bark Town. As there are no definitive details about the games yet, it is currently unknown whether or not changes to the plot and course of the original games will be made. What is currently known, however, is that the geography of New Bark Town, while updated, has not changed. The player's rival, Silver, lurks outside of Professor Elm's lab as he did in Generation II.
Like FireRed and LeafGreen, it is assumed that several enhancements will be made to the games to bring them up to speed with Generation IV, including adding features and Pokémon introduced in Generations III and IV. It has also been confirmed that brand new features, never before seen in the series, will be introduced. As indicated by data in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, these games are highly likely to be compatible with the Sinnoh three for battling and trading, though like FireRed and LeafGreen, certain objectives might need to be accomplished beforehand.
Kris, despite being the female counterpart of Gold and Silver's player character Gold, is not included as the female counterpart, with a new character instead taking her place.
New CoroCoro scans have been leaked on Japanese image boards and, as expected, they reveal new information regarding Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Below is a list of some new features and other Pokémon HG/SS related news highlighted by CoroCoro:
* Starter Pokémon are not the only Pokémon that will follow you in-game * New playable female character (not from Pokémon Crystal version) * Player`s Pokémon gear has been upgraded (possible camera addition) * Notch-eared Pichu confirmed in-game (Pikachu-Colored Pichu interacts with this Pichu in a possible in-game event) * More Wi-Fi features to be added * Sprout Tower and Slowpoke Well remodeled * New Pokémon Sugimori art revealed * CoroCoro hints at Kanto`s return * Not Confirmed: Skateboard key item in-game (like bike) and September 11th 2009 release date in Japan
