4th Gen Heart and Soul... A bit lame?

[BHwolfgang]

.. Well, considering that most Pokémon fans have been dying for a remake, would it really bother them if the name was a little off?

It's not corny at all. There's a meaning for why they made it Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

Even if some don't like it, at least the name trule isn't a worse one. I think we can live with Heart Gold and Soul Silver...

 

[Zelda]

I love the new names; in fact, Heart Gold is perfect for Ho-oh, and Soul Silver good for Lugia. Dusk/Dawn sounded kind of lame next to these games. Maybe for a different generation.

Now it's just a matter of which one do I get and which my friend gets ;D

I couldn't agree more. Soul Silver just seems to suit Lugia perfectly. The way it sounds, is like if it is Lugia's nickname.

Heart Gold sounds perfectly fine for Ho-oh because of how it's wing and the heart of Heart Gold look the same. I happen to be getting Heart Gold.

I've never been one to care much about the name in the first place, although these I certainly don't mind. I have a slight preference for Soul Silver as well...

Not quite sure what is wrong with them though, really. Just a name. =P

I was waiting for a thread like this to pop up. I was actually discussing the matter with Erica (Lightning) on Twitter last night, so I'll just rephrase what I said to her.

Firstly, I find it pathetically funny for some people to have wished and wished for remakes of Gold and Silver for as long as they can remember, and when they're finally granted that wish, they decide the name is stupid. The amount of ingratitude is ridiculous. What's also pretty silly is that no one's thinking about the names. Heart of Gold, Soul of Silver. As in, we can be faithfully assured that we're going to be playing the games we loved a decade ago, not some stupid franchise spin-off. At least, that's the way I interpret it. Each to his/her own, though.

definitely could not have said it better. in my opinion, the name is the least of my worries. it won't effect the game play one bit.

 

[Ooka]

I think the names are perfectly fitting.

 

[firekid115]

i like them both,

i found soul silver sounding somewhat mysterious though..


It would have been awesome if they named the remakes:
Firegold
Supersilver
(its just a joke, relax)

 

[Jran Sakarra]

Shining Gold and Sterling Silver might have been nice, but they seem to fit the Jhoto theme.

 

[Jαcκςση]

Soul Silver has the better name, but Heart Gold has the better icon. Anyway, I think both names are fine. Doesn't matter too much.

 

[invisible-chan]

Like what most people are saying, I'm perfectly like the names. They fit their respected Pokemon fairly well. They weren't horribly predictable names, either. I must say, though, I quite agree that HeartGold just doesn't slip off the tongue like SoulSilver. Marxvile's got it right though, needs alliteration.

 

[Heart's Soul]

The names are good enough. Burn HeartGold, I love Soul Silver! Heck, I'm pirating it as soon as it comes out!

 

[Azonic]

I'm fine with them. SoulSilver is a pretty name. But nothing is really wrong with them. I would hate to see them as DuskGold and DawnSilver, because that's just totally predictable and boring. Not to mention Dusk and Dawn are official Digimon games, so blegh. :[

 

[angelsavoir]

I dont mind the names. They are alright :) I think they could have made worse names. I am just glad there is for sure going to be a remake! :)

 

[Shem]

I think they're okay, but there's no confirmation that those will be the names they choose for a worldwide release guys. They haven't even officially announced it yet for release outside Japan (I doubt they don't do an international release). The point is, the title could change to fit the region better, just like they changed Green to Blue for the original two.

I hope they keep them though!

 

[Omega Saikon]

Are you serious? I've seen this topic come up on other forums about the name of the game's being ugly and/or 'lame'. Does it honestly matter the name of the game? You're still going to buy the damn game, aren't I right? Does the name affect gameplay at all? I think not, so all of you that have a problem with the name of the game, rethink your opinion and ask yourself if the name actually matters.

 

[Heart's Soul]

Who says anything about buying the game? I'll just get an Early Dump for it.

 

[Virtual Chatot]

Not any better than any of the other Pokemon game names...I mean come on...

So yeah the names make sense.

Sure, the names make sense, but that doesn't mean they're any good. I would much rather prefer them to be named after those DS Lite colours Gloss Silver and Metallic Rose. Even better, they should release the DS Lite colours along with the games.

 

["Shadow Lugia"]

I'm fine with the names, especially when compared to the names of the last remkaes.

 

[Retro Bug]

Metallic Rose, that might be the worse name ever. I really don't think the names matter, D/P was like this too. " Diamonds are for girls" "Pearls are a girl's best friend" Blahblah. Whatever it's just the games name, does it affect the ingame play of it, no. (Well in a Technical sense, like exclusives.)
