They sure did put in so much and made use of the DS hardware at the time. Game Freak knows how to use each and every Generation of Pokemon to its full technical potential.
Am I the only one that thinks the legendary summoning is more better for Ho-Oh than Lugia? It truly captures that cultural Japanese reference and I loved watching ho-oh descend from above down to Ecruteak's Bell Tower, Which is why I loved HeartGold more
Two totally different experiences. Ho-oh coming down was very stoic and humbling, while Lugia appearing out of the waterfall was super cool and suspenseful.
I may be the only one, but i really get emotional watching this. Pokémon Gold was my childhood and seeing a more refined version of that game bring back great memories.
Nope, you aren't the only one. I played it this year for the first time being 23 old and this scene and especially the amazing music made me feel so emotional because it's just so wholesome 😭
Starting from this game and the games after this, there's always an epic scene that show the boxart legendary being summoned while utilizing your system's limits. I may wanna make a compilation of this...
I’ve never played HGSS (I do have both games though) but this cut scene is just everything. It has soul to it and it’s so majestic. Pokémon has changed a lot from these days.
There's a lot of soul in certain games now...though I won't lie pokemon's had it rough since gen 8 lately. This is one of the few games that manages to be amazing without a doomsday plot for pokemon.
@@irondragondxd3836I hate how true what you said is, but I agree with you 100%. It's like the game is starting lose it's edge at this point. Maybe it's because the company decided to cut out certain things, and are just making ideas out of the blue now
@@dragoncaptain678 They started rushing too much past gen 7. Gen 7 at least had everything that the 6 gens had previously. 8 for me was where it went downhill.
@@irondragondxd3836 got that right. It was so dissapointing when they didn't include the ideas they used for gen 6 and 7. Just felt like an amazing plan when they did that
@@dragoncaptain678 well there were too many but they should have just limited you one OP mechanic per battle. Problem solved. Pokemon never has been a hard game, so Z-moves and megas tended to not bother me.
I absolutely love how they use the traditional japanese music and enviorment as a way to let you know how important Ho oh is and its simbolism, that's why I love ho oh
Bic Lopitakwong at that Altitude the leaves would not be falling at that speed. they would be flying like crazy. Its clearly an error in the game or something else, not just wind
Well heres another question(questions?)... How in the world did they dance without music? How can Ho-oh hear the chimes of the bells? What made the bells to chime? Maybe the summoning dance has magic involved?
The thing they should've changed between the two different summonings was the kimono girls colors and soundtrack, so in heartgold, they would represent ho-oh's colors with the normal summoning music, while in soulsilver, they would represent lugia's colors with a more calm summoning soundtrack that matches with the waves of the sea
this cutscene is infinitely better than summoning lugia in soulsilver because this one it's actually pretty n shit and ho oh comes out like "i am more majestic than all of you bustas. hell yeah, gold n shit. fuck all yall" and then there's lugia who's just like "hey maybe if i make myself have the glowey eyes behind the waterfall and come out with really SPOOKY MUSIC then everyone will think i'm totally COOL and RADICAL"
I remember when they did this. I was blown away. I was crying and mystified at my boy zooming down from the clouds to a Japanese tune only to be housed in my masterball. The first time I heard his battle cry was when I teared up and knew that my rainbow dodo was meant to be housed in the ultimate paradise of spherical containment units. When this song plays, he gains +100 attack and defense and has no lie one hit KOed an Arceus (AR KEY US) and also has tanked a Wailords tackle. This is my Ho Ohs anthem. His coup de grae.
I kinda hope that they remake this although they've already remade silver and gold I would love to see an omega ruby/alpha sapphire style reamake. but never less I am still really excited for sun and moon!
This is the most beautiful Pokémon video game cutscene I've ever seen. I hope they do a 2nd remake for gen 2 so I can see this cutscene in HD/HQ on the Switch! 😀
I made up lyrics to go with this in class. This is our savior Run into the night (run into the light) He wins in every fight, every fight, fi-i-ight Run into the night and then ye shall see You shall run into the light And life will be for eternity This is our savior Run into the night (run into the light) He shines with all its might, all its might, all its mi-ight Run into the night and then ye shall see You shall be like the savior And you will live for eternity
Just realised that in pokemon heartgold when you 're in this situation , kimono girls dance leftwards( anti clockwise) but in soul silver when you all summon lugia the dance rightwards( clockwise)
You should see me. I'm watching this scene 8 years after. At the very first second I saw Ho-Oh appear, i started to cry from the emotion of seeing this gorgeous pokemon. I still have my eyes wet now... the best legendary appear in the pokemon games... ♥♥♥♥♥
Peak of Pokemon Games made by Gamefreak, seening 3D mixed with 2D on the Nintendo DS was so amazing and content amount in these games! and of the course the cutscence is awesome and the music!
I only went to play HeartGold as an excuse to transfer their legendary pokes to XY when the bank was going to be released. Never expected it to become my favorite adventure in the whole franchise.
Ho-oh and Lugia, in my opinion can be compared to heaven and hell, or God or the devil, or an angel and demon respectively because of their cutscenes. Ho-oh's was more grand, the bells chiming as the Kimono girls dance, against the sunset and the bells lighting up like stars as it's nearly dark and Ho-oh descends grandly from the heavens, to face you. Whereas in Lugia's cutscene, as the kimono girls dance, the bells chime, and light up the dark cave, but also makes the sea rise menacingly and after a point they stop, only to reveal a shadowy menacing figure with a pair of scary eyes ,glaring back at you from behind the water only to leap out and reveal itself to you as Lugia, guardian of the sea, emerging from the depths, ready to face you
So actually, it makes sense that Lugia's entrance might be a bit more lackluster than Ho-Oh's. This is because, from the show and movies, Lugia is actually afraid of its own power hence why it lives at the bottom of the sea. In the movie Lugia has more connection with Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos and when the three legendary birds were disturbed, only then was Lugia's peace also disturbed. I realize those three have nothing to do with this game but, in the movie, Lugia is at heart a peaceful figure but it fears over the destructive power it possesses. Lugia lives at the bottom of the sea for this reason.
Ho-Oh's summoning scene fits the Kimono girls more with the traditional Japanese aesthetic, the scenery, the leaves falling, the view of Ecruteak. Not to mention that Ho-Oh's tower is just at the end of town so the Kimono girls don't have to travel too far. In SoulSilver it seems they travel all the way to Whirl Islands on a single Vaporeon. Lugia just felt a lot more mysterious and hidden in Whirl Islands and feels better as the 2nd encounter because he's more difficult to find. Lugia will always have the better design though
i really wanted soul silver because i liked lugia more than ho-oh, but my local gamestop only had heart gold, so i bought it. when i played through this scene, i discovered a new love for ho-oh
To me Ho-Oh always felt like the "definitive" legendary for Johto. While not as popular as Lugia, I always felt Ho-Oh just fit the overall setting of Johto more, especially with that entrance animation upon being summoned as well as the place you could summon it, being a giant sacred tower as opposed to a mere cave, an impressive cave sure, but not as grand as I would've liked
Ho oh has such potential, think about it: it revived 3 pokemon and they became stronger and legendaries on their own. Imagine a game fokusing on that, lets say ho oh has one power up/revive for each type and the evil organisation wants to use that. The whole setting could be feudal japan

This cutscene is best viewed if it's sunset. I mean, just look at those colors!
+solitonmedic And I just got lucky, wasn't planing anything, just hit record xD
I like the peaceful theme :D
solitonmedic I never started the game until I had that sun set too
They sure did put in so much and made use of the DS hardware at the time. Game Freak knows how to use each and every Generation of Pokemon to its full technical potential.
@@JSGirl09able *cough cough* gen 8 *cough cough*
one of the best cutscenes in video game history
Am I the only one that thinks the legendary summoning is more better for Ho-Oh than Lugia? It truly captures that cultural Japanese reference and I loved watching ho-oh descend from above down to Ecruteak's Bell Tower, Which is why I loved HeartGold more
I totally agree. Ho-Oh felt more majestic than Lugia did, but they're both great regardless.
Universal Cerberus True I love battling with both Lugia and Ho-Oh, Lugia's Future Sight attack used to be so deadly against opponents
yes I love how it appears and the music
Two totally different experiences. Ho-oh coming down was very stoic and humbling, while Lugia appearing out of the waterfall was super cool and suspenseful.
No you are not
I may be the only one, but i really get emotional watching this. Pokémon Gold was my childhood and seeing a more refined version of that game bring back great memories.
Pokémon Gold was my very first videogame, so the nostalgia is too powerful for me.
Nope, you aren't the only one. I played it this year for the first time being 23 old and this scene and especially the amazing music made me feel so emotional because it's just so wholesome 😭
They did a masterpiece with the Gold remake
O_O Even though I love Lugia, this summon dance is so much prettier, and Ho-Oh's battle song is amazing.
Khione Kun Yes, this thing is so beautiful!
+Khione Kun It's the exact same dance just in the opposite direction...
I mean, the scenery. And if I'm not mistaken, the music is a bit different.
And not to mention the damn leaves.
Yeah,you and me both.
And ho oh’s music fits the summoning theme WAY more
This is my favorite cutscene from any Pokemon game so far. It's so beautiful
Aw man, it's actually cooler than lugia's cut scene
I disagree...
Lugia's entrance was WAY better.
@@HarmonyBunny lieeeees
@@kaiw.2284 OPINIONS.
@@HarmonyBunny nooo I CANNT HEAR THAT
*> Yeah my favorite is Lugia but this cutscene is so much better
The bumping sound effect at the end was kinda funny! "Oh sorry to bump into you o great guardian of the skies!"
Jessica Warford 😂😂
This entrance is very majestic and serene.
Ho oh makes an majestic entrance.
Ho oh summoning scene: beautiful
Lucia summoning scene: epic
God's bird cage has been opened
The nostalgia... This is one of the most beautiful moments in Pokemon for me.
I was 10 almost 11 when this game came out, I remember thinking this scene was one of the coolest things to ever happen in a Pokémon game.
Sadly it still is
Johoto oriental theme is top notch, HGSS did a lot to make it pop but wish it had a 3D Remake to really go all out with it
even in pixel form this moment is beautiful
The summoning of Ho-oh is by far the best scene of all time
This is my favorite cutscene in Pokemon existance JUST because Ho-Oh is my favorite pokemon...
He also happens to be my favorite Shiny! XD
same
hello mate
Starting from this game and the games after this, there's always an epic scene that show the boxart legendary being summoned while utilizing your system's limits. I may wanna make a compilation of this...

Seeing this again after beating HeartGold years prior and in comparison to Lugia's summoning makes me glad that I chose HeartGold.
You know you can catch both right?
@@ashlirabid9614 But the cutscene is only for boxart legendary
@@ashlirabid9614 Well, yeah, but I was saying that Ho-Oh has the better summoning cutscene.
Every time I watching this scene I just wanna burst my tears outt, such nostalgiaa😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ love hooh and lugia so muchhh
I absolutely love how they use the traditional japanese music and enviorment as a way to let you know how important Ho oh is and its simbolism, that's why I love ho oh
Anyone else think, how the hell do leaves drop down on top of a freaken tower???!?!!
Uh.... Wind?
this tower is fucking huge. taller than all of the trees around it. how the hell does the wind make it look like it's falling down.
Bic Lopitakwong at that Altitude the leaves would not be falling at that speed. they would be flying like crazy. Its clearly an error in the game or something else, not just wind
cyberwolfy37 You look at those leaves, they all falling the same way.
Well heres another question(questions?)... How in the world did they dance without music? How can Ho-oh hear the chimes of the bells? What made the bells to chime?
Maybe the summoning dance has magic involved?
The thing they should've changed between the two different summonings was the kimono girls colors and soundtrack, so in heartgold, they would represent ho-oh's colors with the normal summoning music, while in soulsilver, they would represent lugia's colors with a more calm summoning soundtrack that matches with the waves of the sea
like Lugias song from the 2000 movie?
this cutscene is infinitely better than summoning lugia in soulsilver
because this one it's actually pretty n shit and ho oh comes out like "i am more majestic than all of you bustas. hell yeah, gold n shit. fuck all yall" and then there's lugia who's just like "hey maybe if i make myself have the glowey eyes behind the waterfall and come out with really SPOOKY MUSIC then everyone will think i'm totally COOL and RADICAL"
an enemy stand this fucking comment... omg. This made my day.
I dont regret choosing soul silver but man this is just fucking awesome
I remember when they did this. I was blown away. I was crying and mystified at my boy zooming down from the clouds to a Japanese tune only to be housed in my masterball.
The first time I heard his battle cry was when I teared up and knew that my rainbow dodo was meant to be housed in the ultimate paradise of spherical containment units.
When this song plays, he gains +100 attack and defense and has no lie one hit KOed an Arceus (AR KEY US) and also has tanked a Wailords tackle.
This is my Ho Ohs anthem. His coup de grae.
I always get chills on my back with this cutscene when the bird appears. Nostalgic AF
Still my favourite pokemon scene ever. I also played it during sunset the first time I played Heartgold.
This was really nice to watch. Thanks for sharing ☺ 👌
Plot twist, Ho oh was shiny
honestly both Ho-Oh and Lugia are so Underrated, They deserve some love
This was the first time ive seen anything like this in a pokemon game when I first played last year and I was in shock at how good this was
This reminds me of the castle theme from Mysterious Murasame Castle for some reason. The music, not the scene.
+FireIcarus Never heard of this game. I'll check it out
They both have edo japanese influence s
This cutscene beats Rayquaza in Emerald and Arceus in Sinnoh Ruins
Happy fifteenth anniversary Pokémon heartgold
I kinda hope that they remake this although they've already remade silver and gold I would love to see an omega ruby/alpha sapphire style reamake. but never less I am still really excited for sun and moon!
Me too
Probably will happen the gen after Sinnoh's remake
@@kamenraider1175 Which we got now in the form of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
@@HarmonyBunny what about premake like legend Arceus?
@@darkknightbatman8269 That doesn't count.

Love it you sir or madame are amazing at this
I like it...! This is great!
Enchidio gay
This would look more than amazing as a cutscene in a remake!
a remake of a remake. Remakeception
Pufflepuff89 you said it better than I would have...!
0:54-1:15 does anybody else get goosebumps here
this is my favourite theme in pokemon
This is such a beautiful cutscene
ive never played hgss but I think this scene really made me understand why so many people love it the most if all main series games
I like that you can find both Lugia and Ho-Oh regardless of which version you have :) I managed to catch them on SoulSilver.
One of the most beautiful scene in summoning a legendary.
meanwhile Lugia:
"JUST TURN OFF THAT FUCKING NOISE!! IM TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!"
Absolutely beautiful, I love the japanese culture they added in too it gave me tears
But you must do it in day or evening to make it look good
It's... Beautiful....
Truly a golden game :)
Ho oh only recognizes a person with a pure heart and grants eternal happiness. Who is that person?
The song is so relaxing.
Didn't even save before the battle. What hubris.
I love this bird so much
Hoopa: "Are you impressed?"
When I played heartgold I used the exact same name as you used. This was extremely spooky
Well, that's my name xD
Sunset is the best time to do this in Heart Gold, always.
After doing them a lot of favors: yeah we can get you the box art pokeman.
Young me: OMG THE CAMERA IS MOVING!!!
This gave me horrible flashbacks to when I was a kid and accidentally killed Ho-Oh when trying to get it to low health
Ho oh is an absolutely magnificent Pokémon. ❤️
This is the most original and the right way to summon a legendary
Why did this video bring me to tears?
i cant wait for a newer version of this cut scene and even for black and white so much cut scenes
Sunset and Ho-oh fits the Kimono girls better.
Yeah, they’re literally Ho-ohs colour scheme aswell
Just realised that in pokemon heartgold when you 're in this situation , kimono girls dance leftwards( anti clockwise) but in soul silver when you all summon lugia the dance rightwards( clockwise)
You should see me. I'm watching this scene 8 years after. At the very first second I saw Ho-Oh appear, i started to cry from the emotion of seeing this gorgeous pokemon. I still have my eyes wet now... the best legendary appear in the pokemon games... ♥♥♥♥♥
Never had the chance to seee this one as I have SS it is truly beautiful
Came from Pokémon Presents and... well, let's imagine how beautiful this scene is gonna be on the new game... I can't wait!!
Your getting excited for pokemon league of legends
"Great beast of the sky, please hear my cry..."
Lugia is awesome, but imo I find Ho-oh so much more majestic from his design, his theme, his cut scene, and his lore of how he revived Pokemon
this moment is super memorable
Absolutely love this!
Peak of Pokemon Games made by Gamefreak, seening 3D mixed with 2D on the Nintendo DS was so amazing and content amount in these games! and of the course the cutscence is awesome and the music!
I feel like someone pitched this scene, with the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak, and they all clapped.
Then someone said, "What about Lugia?"
I only went to play HeartGold as an excuse to transfer their legendary pokes to XY when the bank was going to be released. Never expected it to become my favorite adventure in the whole franchise.
literally shivers all over me
Ho-oh and Lugia, in my opinion can be compared to heaven and hell, or God or the devil, or an angel and demon respectively because of their cutscenes.

Dude. Imagine this scene being made in full hd for switch
Then immediatly after that u got ho oh theme that plays
Imagine the next Legends game and it’s this 😭😭
So actually, it makes sense that Lugia's entrance might be a bit more lackluster than Ho-Oh's. This is because, from the show and movies, Lugia is actually afraid of its own power hence why it lives at the bottom of the sea.

What animation! And for one of my real top Pokemon!
10 years later. HO-OH > Lugia
This was such a master piece
I love the ritual music
Ho-Oh's summoning scene fits the Kimono girls more with the traditional Japanese aesthetic, the scenery, the leaves falling, the view of Ecruteak. Not to mention that Ho-Oh's tower is just at the end of town so the Kimono girls don't have to travel too far. In SoulSilver it seems they travel all the way to Whirl Islands on a single Vaporeon.
Lugia just felt a lot more mysterious and hidden in Whirl Islands and feels better as the 2nd encounter because he's more difficult to find. Lugia will always have the better design though
ngl, this weather makes it much more legendary and epic.
i really wanted soul silver because i liked lugia more than ho-oh, but my local gamestop only had heart gold, so i bought it. when i played through this scene, i discovered a new love for ho-oh
This came into my recommend. Hgss looks cool even though my first pokemon game was scarlet. Hope you are doing well after all those years
Une des plus belles animations que j’ai vu en jeux vidéos❤❤❤❤❤
Damn, I slightly regret going for Soulsilver now cause that beats Lugia's hands down
To me Ho-Oh always felt like the "definitive" legendary for Johto. While not as popular as Lugia, I always felt Ho-Oh just fit the overall setting of Johto more, especially with that entrance animation upon being summoned as well as the place you could summon it, being a giant sacred tower as opposed to a mere cave, an impressive cave sure, but not as grand as I would've liked
I remember the first time I wanted to climb that tower without knowing what will I find in the top, shit, Ho oh would had killed me.
wow 🤩
I DON'T CARE IF MUSIC LAGS MY NDS EMULATOR I STILL WANT TO HEAR THIS SHET
Ho oh has such potential, think about it: it revived 3 pokemon and they became stronger and legendaries on their own. Imagine a game fokusing on that, lets say ho oh has one power up/revive for each type and the evil organisation wants to use that. The whole setting could be feudal japan
He thinks SNX is the reincarnation of J.
"How japanese do you want this scene to be?"
Gamefreak: *Yes*
1:34 eh bro, watch out. Be careful with the birdo
i changed the time of my ds to see this in the sunset
