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:

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

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

(External links dead. here's our page instead)

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?

   •  

3. I hope so.

    

4. Can we go to Johto?

   •  

5. 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.
    

Known Issues / To Do

 

- Trainers have the wrong dialogue & ask for phone number.
- Pre-menu cinematic still shows johto in some parts.
- Prof. Oak's coat should be white on the intro.
- Red's PC should not have a mail from Lyra, but have a potion.
- Mom References Elm when blacking out to Pallet Town.
- Pokeball tutorial should show the Old Man.
- Can't search Fairy type in the Pokedex.
- Mt. Moon & Fossil Event need overhaul.
- When try to learn mega kick and cancel, he references mega punch.

Great Job. Always wished for this project to be completed. If you would like a hand at anything, I'm willing to help.

[Oiawesome]

This is simply amazing! I will be sure to keep my eye on this. If you need minor help like area encounters I am able to help and nitpick, other than that, you have great things ahead of you :grog:

EDITL apparantly this hack isn't working on my R4 which is sad, but I hope you can fix it in the future :bidoof:

Pokémon Heart Red

Current Version: v0.3a

Screenshot Album

Information

This is a ROM hack based off of Heart Gold which aims to remake the classic game Pokémon Fire Red. This project was started by Chaos Rush however he abandoned it around 2011. A couple years ago I found the project and decided to continue development. I released a previous version which people accused me of stealing because I used the original developers screenshots. Later, it got stolen and I was given no credit. However no progress was made to the stolen version and I've since done much more to game.

You can progress until you reach Vermilion City.

Please report bugs here and contact me if you'd like to help.

If any proof of development is needed I can give it.

how is this coming ive been wanting a hack like this

[wnico33]

mine either

[wnico33]

How is this hack coming btw?

[Oiawesome]

Um, none of the stores have pokeballs yet so you're limited to expensive ass dusk balls and the first 5 pokeballs you get iirc

[hoheohi]

great project, wait for final ver <3

[Roromiya]

I can't get a starter Animations are working and everything but "So, you want to go with the ****** pokemon?" and whatever i press won't do ;/

I am trying different methods like changing characters, using different settings and names for characters to see if it works but no.

Also right after you finish the little "chat" with prof. Oak at the beggining and go to your house you move one step and a menu for chosing your rivals name pops out right? Right after that my room changes (or the house i don't know). I am not sure if that should be happening:

[Slasher115]

Any idea why this wont load up on my dstwo?

[tuongnv3]

This game does not play bad one at all? or rather the date when the main character role in the game.

[Serrous]

might I suggest that you decapitalize all the pokemon names. it gets a bit annoying. just a pet peeve, but I though it might help improve the overall quality.

also the starting screen with prof. oak has a bit of a problem with the sprites where they seem faded and don't have any edges.

im excited for this hack and ill keep playing v0.3a for bugs.

[Serrous]

Also Im going to add that you and mikelan98 SEEM to be the only ones doing map hacks, such as when you changed the spawn. mikelan98 is a bit different in that he's remaking a gba hack for nds that's based off of heartgold. idk but im excited and cant wait to see what you do.

I like the work done so for great job creating that already!

[Blob55]

Will this come with Johto or/and the Sevii islands?

[Soulariax]

I could use someone with some sprite editing experience.

For the trainer card, gender select, ect..

I spent 4 years of nearly nonstop sprite editing just for fun, started with GBA and then got really good at DS sprites. Haven't even touched Microsoft Paint in a few years but if you're still looking for a sprite editor, I'd love to get back into it. I've been wanting a completed project like this ever since Diamon/Pearl came out.
