GB Sounds

This article is about the key item in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. For the Nintendo GameCube accessory, see Game Boy Player.

The GB Player is an item obtainable in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. After the player has defeated all 16 gyms in the game, they can receive it from one of the Game Freak employees in Celadon Mansion. It allows the player to change the game's background music to redone 8-bit tracks from Gold and Silver.

Trivia

• The tracks that weren't in the original Gold and Silver have received an 8-bit version as well. Examples include the themes of the Global Terminal and of Routes 47 and 48.
• The item only changes background themes, not other audio effects.
• The Global Terminal wasn't featured in the original Gold and Silver games, so therefore it couldn't have had an 8-bit sound to it. But it now has an 8-bit sound to it, which sounds the same but just more "8-bitty"
• This is the first time, anything this big, was put into a Pokemon game. Really adds to the "remake" title of the game.
