Pokémon Gold Version

A randomizer mod for Pokémon Gold. Pokemon Randomizers are a fresh new way to experience your favorite Pokemon games! With wild encounters, trainer pokemon, starter pokemon, field items and TMs randomized anything can happen! Imagine walking into the grass and instead of encountering a Pidgey it is a Mewtwo instead. The possibilities are endless and unique!

You are a new trainer who sets out on a journey to help Professor Oak with researching Pokemon, very much like the very first games. This story is built on the foundation that was pulled from the demo itself, and has you traverse Nihon, based on the entirety of Japan, while you collect badges and catch Pokemon. You'll also have to face off against Team Rocket, who are building a machine that would give them incredible power over Pokemon! Silver is portrayed in the manner that he was in the demo - not as an antagonist, but as an energetic rival, kind of similar to gen 4's Barry. The story is admittedly kind of simple, but intentionally so. It was written to feel like the story that might have been in the demo had it been completed.

A rom hack of Pokemon Gold released in 2018 by Hacker. It takes place in the Fornes region, which is basically just the Johto region but with city and character names swapped, and some of the maps having new tiles and minor changes to their layouts. It has some features that could make it be considered a "troll/joke hack", like entrances to buildings being different than what they say they are, those same entrances leading to new areas when you leave, purposefully poor grammar, and a higher difficulty overall. It could, however, also just be an earnest attempt at making a rom hack that was poorly done. It's hard to tell as information on this project is very hard to find.

In Pokémon Bronze 2 you start as either a boy or a girl trainer in Old Oak Town with the goal of collecting all 8 badges and then defeating the Elite Four. But along the way, an evil team is trying to execute their plan to steal, kidnap and make money. It even includes a full second region with post game! Once again, going for a completely run of the mill Pokemon story game that is sorely missing from many Pokemon rom hacks.

A Pokemon Gold romhack inspired by the likes of Pokemon Brown and Pokemon Prism. Is basically your generic Pokemon affair, It is set right after the events in Gold and you leave home and get a Pokemon from a professor and defeat gym leaders and the elite four with a group of antagonists to battle along the way, and a rival.

Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version are paired Generation IV remakes of the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver. Much like how Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen revisited the Generation I story of Kanto, HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of Johto, with the player's starting town being New Bark Town. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original Gold and Silver. Some aspects exclusive to Crystal are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto (such as the Sinnoh starters) and vice versa. Kris, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character, is not included as the female player character, with a new character instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the player character or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-rival role similar to the unselected characters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).
