Examples include an EXP Share available in Violet City, the removal of most unnecessary Cut trees and other annoying HM moments, and the addition of buyable evolution stones to some of the shops around the regions. On that note, some things have been changed just to make things in the game a lot more convenient. The availability of items has been changed quite wildly in general all evolution items and TMs are now available at least once prior to the first round of the Elite Four, meaning you can shape your team up quite well for what’s not even the final challenge in the game! Leafeon, Glaceon, Magneton, Nosepass…) some new items have been added this keeps consistency with previous items. In most cases, this simply turns the item needed for evolution by trade into a usable item much like an evolution stone, though for some cases where evolution is either awkward or impossible in HG/SS (e.g. you do not need to trade to obtain all the Pokémon). A large amount of Pokémon have been given extra level-up moves in some form to make them easier to raise.Įdits to evolutions mean Sacred Gold and Storm Silver are self-contained (i.e. All moves that were given some sort of change in Black & White have had the same change applied to them in Sacred Gold & Storm Silver where possible, as well as some additional edits to make Cut, Strength and Rock Smash more useful than their previous counterparts. For those of you who prefer a purer Pokémon experience, the ‘Classic’ version offered has these Pokémon edits removed.Ī small amount of attack moves have also been edited.

The data of a lot of Pokémon has been changed this can mean just extra level-up moves, but features such as abilities, experience rates, TM compatibility and even types might be changed. New Trainer battles have also been added where appropriate examples include the option to battle Ethan/Lyra, Cynthia and Steven.
Gym Leaders and other important trainers in particular have received a large boost to their difficulty, so get ready to take on some hard fights! As with the rest of my hacks, Gym Leaders, Elite Four members etcetera all use six Pokémon in each fight.
This means you’ll be battling a much larger variety of Pokémon than you’ll see previously. Trainers have received new rosters to tie in with the greater variety of Pokémon available (explained by a ‘migration wave’ to the regions). There are some minor changes in Wild encounters between Sacred Gold and Storm Silver, but all 493 are available in both. Almost all Pokémon are available prior to the first round of the Elite Four! In addition, you also receive the National Dex the moment you get the Pokédex, making it that much easier to track what you have and haven’t caught. Legendaries are somewhat restricted, but otherwise you can build your team with pretty much anything you want. all Pokémon available in the fourth generation) can be obtained somehow within the game.
