Hack of version
Pokémon Gold
Features and screenshots (BETA 0.1.4)
Ability to be able to choose the Protagonist's Gender with the X and Y sprites.
Redesigned Pokedex. 138 "new" (replacement) species of Pokémon from all regions .
Replacements are based on design and/or qualities/features of each Pokemon. Example, Rattata is
a replacement for Zigzagoon.
Progressive increase in the levels of Pokémon of Trainers found alond the journey.
Different species and types of wild Pokemon and Pokemon trainers respectively, while
maintaining a logic.
Different amount of Pokemon used by coaches.
Move set updated to Current Generation. Some event-moves are included in Learnsets.*
Some Trainer classes use new Generation items in battle.
Evolution Levels changed, changed to suit the strength of the evolution chain and also to
the level at which the Pokémon first appear in the wild. For a few Pokemon, different methods of
evolution have been included.
Some Pokemon can evolve by using a different method. New evolution stones are included.*
Base Stats, Types, Growth Rate and Catch Rates updated as of Pokemon X and Y . FAIRY type
has been inluded.*
Different items held by Wild Pokémon(data updated) and increased the probability of the
appearance of secondary item.
Battle System like as in the 4th generation. The moves are classified as Special or Physical
according to their contact nature.
Some different fleeing Pokemon.
Type Boost Items (Charcoal, etc.) increase %33 of respective stat to compensate the lack of
items like Choice Band, Life Orb, etc.
24 New items (all of them not yet obtainable) that improve the player experience. Including
GS Ball, Sail Fossil, Fossil Jaw and 3 evolution stones (Dusk, Shiny and Dawn) plus a new stone
that replaces the need for trading to cause evolutions: TRADE STONE.*
60 New moves that complement the functions of each pokemon battle. Signature moves are still
available: Lucario with Aura Sphere and Blaziken with Blaze Kick are present.*
New battle effects according to each attack, with this is possible to have moves that did
not exist, as Calm Mind or Draco Meteor. The new effects come with new animations.**
Update priorities moves. Extreme Speed now has priority over Quick Attack.
25 New TMs. Replaced the most low-profile attacks by high-profile attacks from different
generations, example ; Mud Slap for Bulldoze. Some moves of the TMs which were replaced were
added to the Learnset to avoid losses.
Additional trainers, usually in places that lacked them, like caves and gyms. - (Additional
trainer count: 18)
Properities of healing items (potions, berries...) edited so that said items can't be used
in the middle of a battle. However, no changes in the functions of the items when held by a
Pokemon (berries still heal, etc.).
Different items found in the floor and some different berry trees.
Different trainer DVs (usually higher), mostly adapted to how early a trainer of that class
can be found. DVs of many classes are maximized in an attempt to make up for the acumulative
boosts provided by EVs.
Stat and type boosts provided by badges removed in order to give the game a more
"professional" feel and increase the difficulty by removing an unfair advantage.
Removed the 25% extra chance of missing with a status or stat reduction move by the opponent
(another unfair disadvantage for the computer that makes little sense).
Different requeriments and increased probability (1/256) for a Pokemon to be shiny. The
properities of the shiny Gyarados have been adequated accordingly.
The Battle Style is SET by default (little Buggy).
New graphics (Tileset) for routes and cities taken mainly from the 3rd generation games.
New graphics in battle (HP bar) and the Town Map, HGSS style.
New Sprites for some Trainers and Gym Leaders, and therefore new Trainer Class.
Modifications to existing maps like caves, routes, Gyms, or towers. Cities restored to it's
beta phase.
Changes in certain events as well as existing small additional events.
The player is unable to leave a Gym until he or she beats the Gym Leader or all his/her
Pokemon faint in battle (blackout). Thus, Gym trainers and the Leader have to be beaten in
succession.
Partial translation of rom to spanish ( I'm a Mexican Hacker).
Halved the steps for egg hatches of all Pokemon. This is intended to encourage breeding.
* See attached document in the download.
** The effect of U-turn is a mix with Batton Pass, so it is considered incomplete....
NOTE:As you may have noticed, my native language is not English,
so if someone helps me improve the reaction will be very grateful.
EXTRAS
Move Tutors with generic moves have been distributed throughout Jhoto to compensate the
replacement of some TM. By this method you can learn Hidden Power, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Toxic
and Headbutt (the latter retains its status TM).
Zigzagoon and Linoone possess their ability "Pick Up" like in Pokémon RSE; you have a 10%
chance that after a battle, the Pokémon will be holding an object, such as a Potion, Great Ball,
Rare Candy, etc...(Thanks to Miksy91 and Mateo)
Tileset Extension patch is applied.
Some Traden Pokemon are shinys.
In Goldenrod City, you can get a Shiny Ditto via Trade. It has all the qualities of a
regular Shiny. (If the Parent of an egg is shiny, there's a probability of 1/64 of that the
offspring is also shiny).

Important
This game is a test hack for my main project: Pokemon Revolution.
Since this is a test, many bugs are not required to be reported, such as defects on maps or
tiles.
After finish the Beta 1, I don't plan on publishing beta 2 anytime soon, but when the game is
free of most of it's bugs, I will release all the information that has been modified in case
someone else wants to continue my job or use my rom as a base for your own project.
Known Bugs
(Minor) If you choose to be a "Girl" in start of game and enter your name manually, after
doing it, appear the sprite of "Boy". - Fixed for next release
(Minor) Error in the Overwolrd Sprite for the "Girl" on the map of FLY. - Fixed for next
release
(Minor) Errors with the font. Some translations come from the Spanish Version, so some
characters may be shown to you the American version (does not apply to English-speaking
players). - Fixed for next release
(Minor) In battle only, the moves appear with a wrong type. This is because the game reads
the ID of the animations and not the type of the move. - Fixed for next release
(Minor) Singpost throughout the region without text. This is because the beta versions of
the cities have more singpost that the final version. - Fixed for next release
(Medium) Counter and Mirror Coat are not upgraded to the new rating system physical/special
attacks. - MAYBE Fixed for next release
