Pokemon SoulSilver Version

Pokémon SoulSilver (NDS, 2009) masterfully remakes Silver with modern polish, letting Pokémon follow you through a vibrant Johto and Kanto. It keeps the original’s charm while adding reusable TMs, the Pokéathlon, and the punishing Battle Frontier. Despite some old-school pacing quirks, its sheer content and heart make it the gold standard for Pokémon remakes.
