HeartGold hack: Refined Gold Overhaul [COMPLETE]

I think i played a old version of the hack or the Platinum version i can't remember does the hack has great moveset on pokemon and their evolution are easier to trigger also before i forget can i ask if you changed a Pokemon Type for a more balanced somewhat?

I have identified the bug in question it is to do with a tool I used and the tool dev and myself are looking into it right now. It's not a gamebreaking bug (though it blocks you from getting the Diploma) and the gltiched out stuff only happens sometimes. Just save before using the Pokedex, and you can play as normal in the current version. It will be fixed within the next week in the next update.
To summarize:
- The bug is in the game's side, not the save's side.
- Your save will work in the next update.
- Nothing I know of will be lost by continuing to play as it is now.
- Just save before looking at the Pokedex until v4.0.3 is out.

Oh, nice! I gonna try the new version! (I don't have the save anymore, but i prefer to start a new save anyway.)
 
Access to Shard Tutors, written by myself! Now you're cooking with coverage!
- - Tutors are Ecruteak City, Lake of Rage, Saffron City respectively. Shards are more accessible now.

Are the elemental punches included among the tutor moves?
 
Found a missing NPC entry and filled that in, plus a few minor fixes. If anyone knows of any bugs they can reproduce in Melon let me know on Discord. If I get some bugs to fix I'll release v4.0.4 soon, otherwise I'll put it off until I have the time do some large-scale text reformatting of the docs just to align the trainers to Bulbapedia's format (for easier reading).

Damn, you're the Gogoat man.

But I think it might be best to hold 4.0.4 a little longer, so it comes as a single update; that's mostly due the fixes being minor (a.k.a can wait a little bit as they don't precisely ruin the experience) and reformatting needing extra time and double checking.

Again, no pressure, the hack is phenomenal and the continued improvement is reassuring :)
 
I found two minor bugs literally today, so that is the plan! Ariana Grunt post-Olivine had the wrong item and some R43 trainer didn't have Magic Guard on their Clefairy. All the remaining bugs are ones I can't find though because of how obscure they are, so I am just waiting for serendipity to deliver them to me.
 
Update v4.0.4 is out! Various minor changes, mostly bugfixing and adding the ability to view accolades in your house! If you've finished the superboss quest, have a look inside your desk.
There are a few small things I am looking at implementing such as regarding HP heal speed, but the remaining bugs are increasingly obscure so I just decided to touch base so the little fixes would be in.

First off thanks for the updates :D

And tapping into the topic of HP, would it be possible to add a "mute" option for the "Low HP" Beeping? If not that's completely fine :P

Np, thank you for the kind words!
Also: no, I don't think it's really feasible to add a mute button as an option for Low HP beeping sounds. I know people who could but I don't have that kind of familiarity with The Deep Magics
 
Really enjoying this so far as someone whose childhood pokemon game was HeartGold.

You mentioned HP heal speed, would it be possible to make it so that using potions doesn't automatically take you back to the bag menu (so you can heal your whole party quicker)? I was playing Pokemon Emerald Legacy before this (until my save corrupted :( ) and that hack has some excellent QoL changes which would be excellent if implemented here. the big one for me is making HMs forgettable, so you can do stuff like swap Surf for Waterfall or Whirlpool and then switch back to Surf (likewise with strength/rock smash/rock climb) making traversal less of a headache. (though I'm not sure if you'd have to add some safety checks for softlocks - maybe make sure the player can't remove HMs from their inventory so they can always be re-taught? unless this is already the case in HGSS...)

Not far in and so far it's a 10/10 simply because you can skip the catching tutorial.

As for trade evo's being fixed, does that mean I can evolve Scyther just by using a metal coat on it?

EDIT: Never mind, I found the answer in the documentation.

So dumb question but is it possible to use action replay cheats with this rom? I want to Nuzlocke this but I want to skip grinding and just rare candy my pokemon to the level cap. Is that possible or do I need to go through all the grinding. Sorry if I'm being rude

There is full PkHex compatibility so you can just give yourself tons of rare candies. Cheats aren't guaranteed to break things, but there are enough changes that it'd probably cause bugs. Just use PkHex.
 
I was looking for a romhack that was exactly this vibe and style. Was looking in the posts to see if PkHex works for it, thanks for all the work bud. I have a feeling this might be one of my fave Pokemon Romhacks.
 
As a note: RGO v4.0.5 will be up within a few days, if anyone has seen any bugs of any kind please give me a ring on Discord or my DMs here so I can wrap that up in with the rest of the update.
Sending a picture of a Wurmple is acceptable but discouraged.

Known bugs that will be fixed in v4.0.5:
- Removed a dummy NPC from Route 1
- Fixed an oversight where you could just ignore Jasmine's Gym Trainers altogether.
- Certain variables would reset under specific circumstances, but there may be unrelated variable issues also happening so give me a shout even if you think it's just this.
