Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver are making a comeback as a brand-new game spanning multiple regions and letting players catch rare Pokemon, with over 1,000 in the Pokedex. 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise, and after The Pokemon Company released Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 ports of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, fans have been asking for more older games to get the same treatment. Chief among them, thousands of fans have been asking for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver to return in some capacity.
Recently, there have been multiple rumors, supported by datamine following the release of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, that there would be Switch and Switch 2 ports of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, and possibly Pokemon Emerald, too. It's unclear if this is truly happening, but the official Pokemon social media accounts are sharing a coded countdown to November 30, with no mention of what this will entail. Fans hope for Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire's release on Switch and Switch 2, but others would rather get Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The Gen 2 remakes are returning now, and they're better than ever.
