Set Out for Adventure in the Johto Region!
Your adventure in the world of Pokémon will begin in the Johto region, where
you will cross paths with many people. It is only with the help of friends and
the cooperation of your Pokémon that you will be able to complete this
daring adventure.
Catch Many Different Pokémon!
One major goal in the game is to complete your Johto Pokédex by collecting
as many different kinds of Pokémon as you can.
*In order to catch all the Pokémon in the Johto region and complete your Pokédex, you
must trade with the Pokémon HeartGold Version, as well as with other Pokémon versions.
Work together with your friends to get your Pokédex as complete as you can!
Become the Best Trainer Ever!
Another goal is to improve your skills as a Pokémon Trainer. During your adventures, you’ll battle
wild Pokémon, as well as other Trainers. Both types of battle will help you and your Pokémon become
better and stronger. Each Pokémon Gym has a very talented Trainer known as the Gym Leader. Only
those who defeat the Gym Leaders will be accepted as true Trainers.
If you are able to beat a Gym Leader, you’ll receive an official Pokémon League Badge as evidence
of your impressive victory. Wearing these Badges allows you to use HM Moves that previously could
not be used in the field, even if your Pokémon had learned them. The number of Badges you obtain
determines what level of traded Pokémon will follow your orders. These fights will be tough, but you
must be brave and charge into battle!
What Are Pokémon?
In this world live creatures called Pokémon. Humans and Pokémon have lived, worked, and played
together in harmony for ages. Nevertheless, there are still numerous mysteries surrounding them. In
order to find out more about these creatures, many scientists—such as Professor Elm of New Bark
Town—have dedicated their lives to Pokémon research.
Beginning Your Adventure
One day you are summoned by your neighbor,
Professor Elm… It seems he has a task for you!
“Can you walk beside this Pokémon, outside of its
Poké Ball, to see if this brings any special feelings
or bonds between Pokémon and people?” he
asks, giving you a Pokémon and sending you
to see his friend, Mr. Pokémon, down the
road. As you leave New Bark Town, your
adventure is just beginning...
* Pokémon HeartGold Version uses the clock
feature of the Nintendo DS system. Please
do not change the Nintendo DS system you
are using or change the time setting of your
Nintendo DS system. This will affect many
aspects of your game, including Berry growth,
lucky-number drawings, and other time-
dependent game events. The Pokéwalker™
accessory also uses a clock feature.

There are many different buildings and houses in the Johto region. As you walk around, be sure to check
out everything and chat with everyone you meet. You might find some useful information.
Pokémon Center (PC)
The people here will heal your injured Pokémon for free. You can also use the PC
here. A Pokémon Center is the most useful place a Pokémon Trainer can visit!
*Communication play can be done with your friends on the 2F and B1F of a Pokémon
Center (see page 19).

Pokémon in the PC Box, detach the Ball Capsule from the Pokémon first.
Poké Mart
Here, you can buy items that can help you on your adventure. Poké Marts in different towns sometimes
sell different things. Also, the number of Badges you have will affect what you can buy.
Pokéathlon
The Pokéathlon will become available at the Pokéathlon Dome as you progress through the story. You
can compete with your Pokémon in ten different types of event.
Head to the Reception Desk in the center of the Pokéathlon Dome. After selecting “JOIN,” you can
choose a course. Then select which three Pokémon will compete. Your Pokémon’s performance will
be displayed on the top screen, so select Pokémon from your party (and your PC Boxes) that will do
well in the events. Touch “START” to begin, or touch “Details” for more information about how to play.
Each course has three different events. Once the points and bonuses have been added up, the winning
team is decided. If you win, you’ll receive a medal for that particular course. Also, special points used
only in the Pokéathlon called Athlete Points are awarded. These can be traded for items.
You can catch wild Pokémon with Poké Balls (see page 16).While in battle, touch “BAG,” then select
“POKé BALLS.” Select a Poké Ball you want to use and throw it at the Pokémon to try to catch it—you
may not always be successful. After you have caught the Pokémon, you can give it a nickname.
*If your Pokémon party is full with six Pokémon, the new Pokémon will automatically be transferred to Someone’s PC (the
Pokémon Storage System).
Where to Find Pokémon
Pokémon inhabit caves, areas with tall grass, seas, and lakes. Certain Pokémon only appear in the
morning or late in the evening. You can also use a Fishing Rod by the water, or while crossing water
while using the HM Surf, to catch some kinds of Pokémon. Press when the icon appears.
Tips for Catching Pokémon
You must first weaken the Pokémon by attacking it until its HP is low. It will also be easier to catch the
Pokémon if you Paralyze it, make it Sleep, and so on.
Experience Points
When you win a battle, Experience Points are given to Pokémon that fought in the battle. When the
Experience Point gauge fills completely, a Pokémon’s level goes up.
Tips on Raising Low-Level Pokémon
Place the Pokémon whose level you want to raise in the first slot of your Pokémon party. Immediately
switch to another Pokémon as soon as you enter a battle. As long as you win the battle, even the
Pokémon that didn’t fight will receive a portion of the Experience Points.
Pokémon Evolution
There are some Pokémon that evolve and change form as they grow. A Pokémon can evolve when its
level increases, through the use of certain items, if it is traded (see page 19), and so on.
Talking to Your Pokémon
While moving around, you can turn and speak to the Pokémon you are traveling with.
Your Pokémon will have different answers, depending on your location and its feelings.

select “RETIRE” from the menu or simply exit the Safari Zone.
Area Customizer

You’ll be able to customize the Areas in the Safari Zone, and arrange them as you like. The Pokémon
living in each Area are different, and different pairings can change the types of Pokémon that appear.

Safari Zone. The types of Pokémon that appear may vary depending on the type of object you place.
While you are playing the Safari Game, press to place an object in front of you. You can place up to
30 objects in one Area.
*If you move the Area using the Area Customizer while there are objects placed in it, all of the objects in the Area will be

You can migrate Pokémon caught in the Game Boy™ Advance Pokémon series: Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire,
Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen versions (referred to collectively below as GBA Pokémon series), to
Pokémon HeartGold Version. The migrated Pokémon will show up in the Pal Park, a facility that will
appear after you have defeated the Champion. You will be able to catch them there.
*To migrate Pokémon, you’ll need to have obtained the National Pokédex in Pokémon HeartGold Version. You can do this
after defeating the Champion.
*Only the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite have the Dual Slot function.

from [your name]’s [version name] Game Pak, and advance through the
confirmation screens.

to select, and touch again to deselect.
Once you touch “YES,” the six Pokémon will migrate to Pokémon HeartGold
Version. Touch “NO” to cancel if you decide not to migrate. After you
choose “YES,” restart the game and visit the Pal Park to see the Pokémon
you’ve migrated. Throw your Park Balls to catch all six of the Pokémon.
*Pokémon that are holding Mail or have learned a hidden move can’t migrate.
*The Pokémon migrated will disappear from their original GBA Pokémon series Game Pak. Please be careful—once
migrated, Pokémon will never be able to go back to their original GBA Pokémon series Game Pak.
*New Pokémon cannot be migrated until you finish catching the six Pokémon already in the Pal Park.
