From my experience, I'd guess that Pokémon games tend to retain their value, although I've never seen a used one priced that high. It's probably due to the demand and the ability of the game to hold up even after many years, which combine to keep the value.

If quality really is a factor, it makes sense, since heart gold is like my most cherished childhood thing that I still love to this day along with dbz

I didn't think the old DS games were still that valuable... but Gamestop, aka, Ripoff Central; I'm not really surprised.

Yep, I had to get mine from EBay (luckily not fake) for like 45 bucks. Because it's a gen 4 game and has favorable features in it, it'll have a high demand because Nintendo stop making them as well.

It's considered one of the best Pokémon games, and... To be honest it IS freakin' good.

Apart from Sun and Moon, I recall it being my least favorite, in all honesty. And I loved the original Silver beyond words.

probably 'cause it comes with the pokéwalker, and Nintendo policy of keeping high prices on their stuff
