Much like other [[Generation II]] characters, the Kimono Girls made an appearance in the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Instead of being restricted to their dance hall in [[Ecruteak City]], however, they will appear elsewhere, such as in [[Violet City]] (Zuki), [[Ilex Forest]] (Naoko), and the [[Ice Path]] (Sayo). A Team Rocket grunt appears in their hall in Ecruteak, where the player battles him after he harasses Miki about her dance routine. Kuni is briefly met during the Radio Tower incident, in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]].

In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', after Ash's win at the [[Ecruteak Gym]], the gang bumped into [[Sakura]], who took them to the tea ceremony her sisters were running when they ask where it was being held. Sumomo was the first sister they met, greeting them formally. Tamao was seen next, demonstrating {{wp|ikebana}} to a small audience. Later, they passed by the lone Koume playing her {{wp|shamisen}}. Finally, they were treated to a quiet display of the art of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea making and drinking}} by Satsuki. Needless to say, Brock was entranced by them all and grew frightened when they were all together and called him out on his praise.
