Information

This is a ROM hack of Pokemon Heart Gold which aims to remake the classic game Pokémon Red. Dialogue is taken from the Gameboy Advance versions (Fire Red & Leaf Green) however there are no plans to include the Sevii Islands like there are in those games. I will be trying to make this similar to the original, but with the DS's features. This way the ROM can be used as a base for others to start their own hack.

There will be a Soul Blue version released once this is close enough to completion and I also plan on making a Yellow version once Heart Red & Soul Blue have been finished.

Features:
  • Updated type chart (Fairy type)
  • 493 Pokemon
  • Pokemon follow you
  • Classic GameBoy game in DS style graphics, with touchscreen
  • Day & Night Cycle
  • ORAS mini-icons
Progress:
  • 3 Gym Badges
  • 4 Rival Battles
  • 4 In-Game trades
  • Correct Trainer battles
  • Day Care (with breeding)
  • Many (some WIP) scripted events (Mt Moon, Bill's House, S.S. Anne ect..)
  • Running Shoes & Bike are obtainable
Please report bugs here or contact me if you'd like to help.

The archive below contains the patch and the patching program (xdelta).

This must be applied to a Pokemon Heart Gold (U) ROM (md5: A62E7ABBC7B6A352793EC8F75E6ACE55).

- Pokemon Heart Red v0.4.7.5.zip (Mirror) (Latest)
- Pokemon Heart Red v0.4.7.4.zip (Mirror)
- Pokemon Heart Red v0.4.7.3.zip (Mirror)
- Pokemon Heart Red v0.4.7.2.zip

Recommended Emulators: DeSmuME, DraStic (Android/phone)

Also works on Flash carts.

FAQ
  1. What are you going to do about Mt Moon and Cinnabar Island since they look different in HG compared to Red/Blue?
    • For now, I'm going to leave as is. When the hack progresses further I plan on using a map editor to make them look like the originals.

  2. Will you be expanding the pokedex?
    • I hope so.

  3. Can we go to Johto?
    • I will probably make a separate version once the ROM is complete which opens up the area (maybe with a story). I also want to look into the possibility of adding Sinnoh as a 3rd region.

Isn't there a rom complete about this? Because I don't have a PC to install patches on Roms.
There might be online, but it's down to you to find it. You've been here long enough to know you can't ask for warez here.
