Are There GBA Versions of Recent Pokémon Games Like HeartGold and SoulSilver?

-

Hey everyone! I’m curious if there are any Game Boy Advance versions of the more recent official Pokémon titles, specifically HeartGold and SoulSilver. I know about the light platinum fan game, but that’s about it. I love playing Pokémon on GBA because it’s straightforward and the emulators for my phone are super easy to set up. Also, does anyone know if there are good phone emulators for newer consoles like the Switch?

Regarding emulators for newer consoles like the Switch on phones: currently, Switch emulation on mobile is still pretty experimental and not super smooth for most devices. GBA emulators are much more polished and easy to use, so if you want simple and reliable gameplay, sticking with GBA games on emulator is your best bet for now.

There’s a fan-made game called GS Chronicles that’s basically a GBA-style version inspired by HeartGold and SoulSilver. It’s still a work in progress, so it’s not 100% complete yet, but it could be worth checking out if you want that GBA vibe with HGSS elements.
