Pokémon HeartGold Version: Refined Gold Overhaul

PLEASE see the accompanying Readmes in the .zip file for specific details. See the attached readme for a link to them in Google Docs if desired.

This is Refined Gold Overhaul, aka RefGold Overhaul or RGO. For the original hack, please see https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5938/. Both are standalone hacks, but Refined Gold is closer to vanilla while Overhaul has a new level curve. If you are not sure which to play, you probably want Refined Gold Overhaul.
The base Refined Gold currently lacks many features and improvements pending a TBD update, as I am working on other G4 projects for the foreseeable future.

EDIT 7/09/2024: THIS IS NOW VERSION 3.3!

Current AP patching for Twilight Menu+:

(Go into _nds/TWiLightMenu/extras and create a folder named apfix. Then stick the IPS patch (do not rename it) inside that folder. Do not attempt to apply the patch to the ROM.)

The whole game is finished, including Kanto!!

This was based on the 4787 version of the HeartGold ROM. DSPRE and Pokeditor v2 were used for scripting and editing.

Refined Gold Overhaul is an expansion of the original Refined Gold hack that substantially improves trainers and the difficulty curve along with meaningful QoL such as the Platinum shard tutors.
However, the game is still true to vanilla where possible, modernizing unique design choices of HeartGold by using first-of-its-kind features such as nonlinear progression in the midgame and move tutors that take shards like in Platinum.
All exotic Pokémon are in the postgame, meaning the player's options mirror vanilla HeartGold. Gameplay changes instead focus on allowing access to options such as Houndour and Yanma to make proper use of the preexisting Johto Dex.
Despite having engaging and competent trainer design this is not a difficulty hack. It should be easier than Renegade Platinum and feel more like vanilla B2W2 Challenge Mode applied to all trainers than anything else.

Refined Gold Overhaul also features several novel advancements in the scripting department that serve to better capture the intended original experience.
* Move Tutors that accept shards in Ecruteak and Lake of Rage to match Platinum's R212 and Snowpoint tutors respectively, in addition to earlier Relearner and Deleter access. A Saffron tutor covers the Survival Area moves.
* Kanto has been segmented into three phases. You can pick the gyms of each phase in any order, Mega Man 7 style. It goes Surge/Janine/Erika/Sabrina-Brock/Misty/Blaine-Blue. This offers a more cohesive and engaging postgame campaign because frankly vanilla Kanto is a mess.
* As of v2.0, the entirety of the Kanto postgame is redone with new teams on every trainer along with a fresh level curve building right from Lance.
* Additional field dialogue to chat with the Johto Elite Four and other such NPCs is available as the player progresses.
And, of course, THE OVERHAUL:
* From post-Morty to Radio Tower is fully nonlinear, allowing the player to pick their own path.
* This recreates the original choice in vanilla without sacrificing player agency or gameplay quality.
* Both trainers and wild encounters will become more powerful after completing a "track", either by finishing Rocket HQ or getting the SecretPotion.
* Gym trainers and leaders scale off of the player's badge count, with the 7th Gym being a real threat and packing 5 mons instead of 4.

- Very disappointed in Registeel.
- Minor fixes and improvements.
v2.0 - August 30, 2023
Kant Stop Me Now
- KANTO HAS BEEN COMPLETELY OVERHAULED!
- Kanto is now an engaging postgame and features a level curve from mid 50s way off to the grand finale against Blue's level 72 Umbreon.
* Trainers in Kanto are much stronger with bigger, more intricate teams. Nothing obscenely difficult, but be careful - they just might surprise you!
* Kanto's progression is more "directed" levelwise, giving a faint sense of movement and texture instead of mush.
* Kanto wilds have been blanket buffed. May be tweaked more later.
* Fighting Dojo Rematches have been buffed accordingly.
* There is no significant plot in Kanto, only coherent trainer progression.
- Minor buffs to the initial Elite Four, especially Lance.
- Improved some trainer text and Pokegear conversations to reflect changed trainer classes.
- Fine-tuning of some encounter files in both Kanto and Johto.
* A few repel manips from vanilla are now possible again, but you'll have to check the new levels required in DSPRE by yourself.

- The final first tier gym leader in Kanto (Erika, Janine, Sabrina) will now have a sixth Pokemon.
* All of the second tier Kanto Gym Leaders (Brock, Blaine, Misty) now have six Pokemon instead of just Brock.

v1.3 - July 18, 2023
- Fixed a bug where Kanto gym leaders would load the wrong trainer file
- The player now goes through Diglett’s Cave after the first tier of Kanto to Pewter instead of taking Route 19. Basically to get the Pewter and Cinnabar it’s like vanilla HG now instead of heading south from Fuchsia and wrapping around.
- Various minor fixes.
v1.2.3 - June 29, 2023
- Whitney has been nerfed somewhat.
v1.2.2 - Unknown

* The 7th Gym Leader will now have 5 Pokemon instead of 4.
- Lake of Rage trainers are now post-Pryce content to mirror Route 47.
- The entire game has been overhauled for a difficulty curve below Renegade Platinum but firm enough to challenge the average player. The level curve also is now functional and does not leave Johto with a dearth of exp.
- While incomplete, Kanto has had some band-aid changes to bosses. Trainers are not comprehensively fixed yet.
Other changes
- Additional movepool changes, namely to Sandshrew and Typhlosion.
- Move Tutors that accept shards have been added.
* There is one in Ecruteak, one in Saffron, and depending on your path one in either Lake of Rage or Cianwood City.

1cX About
1c0 Which to Play
If you are starting a new playthrough but are not sure which hack to play, you probably want *Refined Gold Overhaul*.


Basically, if you want the full experience of the revamped Heartgold, want to experience nonlinear progression during the midgame, or are interested in a complete HGSS romhack that doesn’t have the bells and whistles of Sacred Gold et al, play *Refined Gold Overhaul*.
If you simply want to replay vanilla Heartgold with the option of completing the National Pokedex and encounter/boss options that don’t have the diversity of boiled cabbage, play base Refined Gold.


This is NOT like Renegade Platinum where there is a “full” version of the hack and one with dialed back balancing tweaks but the same basic gameplay. Refined Gold Overhaul is its own hack, being a very different experience with vastly more rebalancing, trainer changes, and overall improvements.
1c1 General Refined Gold
**THIS IS A 493 PATCH, MEANING ALL POKEMON INCLUDING LEGENDARIES AND MYTHICALS ARE AVAILABLE**


Refined Gold is a hack intended to allow the player to complete the National Pokedex in Heartgold as well as providing moderate QoL improvements. It's basically a "remaster" of HG with QoL while still staying as true as possible to the vanilla experience. All exotic Pokemon are in the postgame, meaning it plays fairly similarly to the vanilla Heartgold. The focus on the main game encounters is instead opening up options and being more flexible with the RNG instead of having things like 5 different 1% encounters.
The core plot is identical to vanilla Heartgold. If you want to go back to Heartgold, whether to revisit memories or make new ones, this mod is meant to help make them a little more vivid.


* All 1% chances (Yanma, Marill, etc) have been increased to 4% minimum where possible.
* Legendaries are also scattered across the map as NPCs, with most willing to fight you after you've beaten Lance or Blue.
* Kanto now has a wild level curve meant to go from “post-Victory Road” up to an appropriate level to make it into an actual postgame. This is a big departure from vanilla, but because Kanto's wild Pokemon feel bland in vanilla in both difficulty and variety, this is an acceptable cost.
* Every TM, berry, and evolution item has been made renewable. TMs are sold in the Good Rod Angler's house in Olivine once you beat Lance, while additional evolution items and berries can be bought in Vermillion with 10 badges.
* Johto itself has a very poor power curve, so I have taken the liberty of adding in certain evolution items and select TMs to improve the player's tool access. Normally, you would HAVE access to, say, a Leaf Stone but only by farming phone calls with Gina or using the Pokeathlon; now you can find one post-Surf in Cherrygrove. Of the Gen 4 evolution items, only 1 Shiny Stone and 1 Dusk Stone have been added.
* HP counters fall up to 2x faster. This is purely aesthetic. Gen 4 is famous for its HP counter falling incredibly slow in this generation, as it never increases in speed to make up for higher HP foes. So, this hack inherently has 2x HP drain speed in effect. This isn’t too noticeable, but helps a lot in the endgame with high HP foes. Credit to Nitram for the specific method used.
* I cannot confirm the edited ROM is still compatible with additional edits to the speed, and am not responsible if doing so breaks your game. But, if the appropriate change is made to the relevant overlay, it should be fine. Remember to make backups and be safe.
1c2 The Overhaul
Because Heartgold has such a painful level curve and Pokemon distribution, I did an "Overhaul" of my original hack. While it's still within Johto Dex limitations, the wild encounters are much more interesting and trainers are competently built with engaging teams. Pokemon such as Swinub and Houndour are available in time for the main game, and important trainers such as Proton and Eusine have more impactful and thematic teams.
It's not a difficulty hack and should feel a little harder than USUM without being overboard.


In essence, RGO is what I imagine Heartgold *would* have been if it was a new game with HG’s dex but Platinum’s standards for gameplay and quality, plus some additional revamping for fun. Although the maps and plot are for better or for worse the same tier as GSC, the trainers are engaging and the atmosphere is as top-notch as it always has been.
At its core, think of this less as an enhancement hack like Drayano’s work and more as a *restoration*; the hack goes to great lengths to maintain key components of the original (freedom to pick their path post-Morty, the HGSS Johto Dex, etc) while still doing its best to improve upon equivocally flawed parts of it (terrible boss teams, poor access to Johto Pokemon on trainers and wilds, lack of direct access to evolution items, etc).


That said, what really sets apart Refined Gold Overhaul is that there are several novel advancements in the scripting department that I made to better capture the original experience. These include shop scripts, shard move tutors, and my crown jewel, the nonlinear segment.
* From post-Morty to Radio Tower is fully nonlinear, allowing the player to pick their own path. This recreates the original choice in vanilla without sacrificing player agency or gameplay quality.
* Both trainers and wild encounters will become more powerful after completing a "track", either by finishing Rocket HQ or getting the SecretPotion.
* Gym trainers and leaders scale off of the player's badge count, with the 7th Gym being a real threat and packing 5 mons instead of 4.
* Kanto has been segmented into three phases. You can pick the gyms of each phase in any order, Megaman 7 style. It goes Surge/Janine/Erika/Sabrina-> Brock/Misty/Blaine-> Blue. This offers a more cohesive and engaging postgame campaign because frankly vanilla Kanto is a mess.
1d Applying
To apply this patch, just get your CLEAN UNEDITED COPY OF Pokemon Heartgold, then pull out Delta Patcher and apply the patch. Do not attempt to apply the patch to an already patched ROM.
Hex edits and cheat codes may not be fully compatible with this patch. PkHex is fully compatible.


Delta Patcher can be found here https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/704/


To check if the patch was applied correctly, look in the Cherrygrove City PC. A Painter NPC will be present. Oak’s introduction text should also be changed.

2X Pokemon Changes
There are no stat or typing changes. No moves have been changed (ex Rock Climb is still Normal, Whirlpool is still 35 BP/70% acc)
These are small-scale, primarily serving to make a 493 possible and make movepools more streamlined within the bounds of HG-legal moves.
2a Evolution Changes
Haunter and Graveler evolve upon learning a key move for their skillsets. Politoed is heavily associated with Drizzle, so Poliwhirl evolves into it by learning Rain Dance.


Evolutions not mentioned here have not been edited. All preexisting methods still work.

Stone Evolutions
Slowpoke - Evolves into Slowking by using a Water Stone (REMOVED as of v3.0.6)


2bX Movepool Changes
**PLEASE SEE ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS**
Modest changes. These should have a moderate impact on your playthrough, instead just letting you fine tune some builds without having to get a new Pokemon. All of these are moves the Pokemon can legally know in this generation (as of HGSS), only changed to make it less problematic to get them. Includes things like fixing pre-evolution only moves, updating a few learnset levels to B2W2 tier so you don't wait until level 60 before getting a good STAB, and giving the Dratini line Extremespeed to match the HGSS event. There's also a fair few Move Tutor moves from HGSS thrown in.


It isn't the most dramatic changelog, but Pokemon like Wooper and Natu should be much easier to use this way.


2b1 Legendary Movepool Changes


Legendary level up moves have been changed significantly to make them into worthwhile fights at the levels they are fought. They still can't hold a candle to even basic trainer AI, but hopefully it's more exciting.
Some of these are approximations, and moot points if you're not importing low-level legends. All of their normal level up moves are still there, these are just shoved into the right place to give them those movepools in their fights.


All movesets are still legal in Gen 4. Yes, this means no Sacred Fire Entei, I’m sorry.
Events are not included as legal move options with the exception of Arceus's Spacial Rend.

3X Wild Encounters
To save space, these are sorted by method, route and then by time. Various values may be omitted because they were unimportant, the Pokemon is found everywhere, or I neglected to mention them.


Like in Refined Platinum, functionally all non-Johto Dex Pokemon are strictly found via post-E4 means. There's also a very diverse selection now in Post-E4 areas (read: Kanto), with a huge amount of Pokemon from other regions dwelling in it. Johto should be a revamped vanilla with extra seasoning, while Kanto is a whole new ballgame.


Individual level changes are not mentioned. Evolved mons are not always mentioned.
If no time is specified, it takes effect all day.
All Pokemon unique to a given area are still there, though Pokemon like Graveler and Golbat may not appear at all in certain areas to make space for new Pokemon.


Sinnoh Radio and Hoenn Radio are always 20% chances, and replace the 10% slots. Since it's easy to change the date and put the radio on, I'm using it for a lot of exotic and Safari Pokemon.
If only one Radio Pokemon is mentioned, it is a 40% chance there.


Various Radio Pokemon in Kanto have been upgraded to their evolved forms - be prepared to see Luxrays and Bronzongs, Hariyamas and Camerupts. These are not listed.

3eX Wild Encounters - Fishing
Given information is for Morning/Day. At night, a specific Pokemon will replace the 10% encounter slot in Good Rod fishing and the 30% encounter slot in Super Rod fishing. If no Night Fishing Pokemon is listed, the encounters are static through the whole day.
In other words:
Route ## (Night) - [Pokemon] means that Pokemon takes up the 10% of the Good Rod table and the 30% of the Super Rod table. In Olivine City, Staryu takes these slots, replacing the Corsola encounter entirely. This may affect one table but not the other; Vermillion City has Carvanha in the 10% slot and the Night slot, but not in the Super Rod 30% slot. Therefore Carvanha’s encounter rate is unchanged at night on the Good Rod table, but increases by 30% at night on the Super Rod table.

4X Event Changes
4a Overview and Levels
All event Pokemon are now fully obtainable, and all events aside from the Universe Egg (working on it, not sure how to do it) have been restored. Furthermore, all legendaries are fightable as static encounters. A man in the Frontier Access will give you hints as to where they are hiding.


Most legendaries become available after beating the Elite Four and getting the National Dex. The next set becomes available AFTER GETTING ROCK CLIMB, which is after beating Blue.
The final set is AFTER GETTING THE BLUE ORB FROM MR. POKEMON, which is after beating Red and getting a Kanto starter from Prof. Oak.


Arceus specifically requires you to have received the National Dex Diploma from the Gamefreak employee in Celadon City. This means you must have all Pokémon EXCEPT Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus.
Receiving the Azure Flute also sets the flags correctly, so you can head straight there.


Post Dex - level 60, 65 for Suicune and 70 for Lugia
Post Blue - level 70, 75 for Regigigas
Post Red - level 80 for Groudon/Kyogre, level 85 for the rest
Arceus is level 95
Roamer levels have not been edited.

4b Event Changes List
EVENT SPOILERS:


Ilex Shrine (Celebi): Event is fully intact, you just need a Celebi and 12 badges. Required for some post-Blue content.


Ilex Shrine (Spiky-Eared Pichu): Event is fully intact, BUT you now need a Raichu instead of a Pichu. Remember that the Spikey-Eared Pichu cannot be traded nor evolve in any way.


Sinjoh Ruins: Event is currently unavailable. However, using an event Arceus still works. Also, you have to bring Arceus to get another one of the Creation Trio, and you need the Creation Trio to get Arceus. It's basically just a little bonus if you want to see it.


Flower Shop Gracidea: Event is fully intact and now works even with any Shaymin. After beating Erika, you can fight Shaymin in Celadon; after this, just bring Shaymin to the flower shop.

“Words to the wise: We came. We built.
We sensed and rejected. We left.
The creator still holds dear that which permits his advent.
Past union's depth, a path leading to wisdom and ruin opens.
There, the artisan of the universe seeks your challenge.
Enter the path of the pillar of water,
behind the spiraling, shelled swimmer from before your time.”




(If you NEED more of a hint, Arceus is somewhere in the Ruins of Alph.)

5X Item Changes
5aX Evolution Items in the Overworld
5a1 About
HGSS technically provides access to the normal stones, but only by Pokelathon or phone call gifts. As such, concrete access is being added.
A Dusk Stone and a Shiny Stone can be found post-Radio Tower. Other items, such as the Protector, are not available until post-Lance so as to preserve the original feel of the game. Dusk and Shiny get singled out because while Rhydon and Gligar are strong enough for the Elite Four, Misdreavus and Togetic feel mediocre and are not worth using.
HGSS went out of its way to make sure you didn't have the cross-gen evos where possible; I don't quite agree with that, but I'm not sure if it's my place to override it.


While you will need more than appear here to complete the Pokedex, this makes it much easier to use, say, Growlithe or Misdreavus. Because you can actually evolve one. Feel free to buy the remaining amount for Lombre and whatnot in the postgame.


A * means they appear in the base game. This is not counting the Rock Climb availability outside of Shiny and Dusk.

*Please see the accompanying document for more details.


5f1 Legendary Items
Most legendaries now have items to give them a bit more oomph. These are largely offensive items, usually to boost their main STAB or give them their special item. These are all 100% chances.
To the best of my knowledge, Roaming Pokemon will never hold an item, but I'm NOT 100% certain of this.


Latias and Latios probably SHOULD have Soul Dew, but since it's event exclusive at best, nullified in the Battle Frontier and banned basically everywhere, it has been omitted.

8b Bugs
- When saving and reloading in one of the “nonlinear” maps, the encounter file will use the weakest by default until you reenter the map. This is a hardware limitation.
- For some reason a few of the gym leader field dialogue after taking a photo plays when saying NO to the photo, and for some it is after saying YES to a photo. I cannot tell how or why this is happening.
9X FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between Refined Gold and Refined Gold Overhaul?
A: Refined Gold is much more purist vis a vis vanilla content. It has very minimalist trainer changes, making for a closer to vanilla gameplay experience. Since aforementioned gameplay experience is garbage, I made Refined Gold Overhaul, which ought to make it closer to USUM in trainer quality than HGSS. In other words:
Refined Gold is for people who want to play vanilla HG but not deal with the full agony of Heartgold, or want to be able to complete the National Pokedex.
Refined Gold Overhaul is what I feel like HGSS *should* have been if it was built with Gen 4 standards for gameplay and progression, then enhanced to provide a suitable challenge.


Q: My game crashes constantly on a flashcart!
A: If this happens, update to the latest version of the hack and/or the latest version of TwilightMenu. Thanks to DeadSkullzJr, the antipiracy patching needed for RGO is now a part of TWM+.


Q: Are there any type changes?
A: No type changes, ability changes or stat changes. All movepools are also HG legal, more or less. If anyone asks, I did so against my will. If only I could have had X-Scissor Ariados…


Q: What is the shiny rate?
A: The shiny rate is untouched from vanilla.


Q: Why Heartgold over Soulsilver?
A: I don’t have the energy to make two hacks that are functionally identical bar title screen and legendary and then justify making two hacks instead of just having one. Of the two, Ho-Oh felt way more atmospheric and thematically appropriate given Johto’s themes and style.


Q: Why Lyra over Kris?
A: Setting aside that this isn’t a Crystal hack, Lyra’s poofy hat is too cute for me to forsake it.


Q: Why are there Slugma in Mt. Mortar?
A: Apparently Steven collected pitchstone from Mt. Mortar. Pitchstone is a volcanic glass, meaning Mt. Mortar is likely an extinct volcano. That huge water section is most likely the old crater.


Q: Where can I find [item]?
A: The only items added are covered in 5X. There is a Dusk Stone and Shiny Stone available to the player, but other items such as the Protector are limited to post-E4.


Q: Where can I find [Pokemon]?
A: All non-legendary Pokemon are available pre-Blue, but pre-Lance only most Johto Dex mons are available. Check 3X. No exotic mons are available pre-E4.


Q: Will you add [Fairies, G5+ mons, Megas, Dynamax, Ice Stone, etc]
A: No. This goes against the spirit of the hack.


Q: What do I do after [event]?
A: I haven’t changed anything substantial about the plot.
Kanto requires you to complete the Machine Part sidequest as well as beat Janine, Sabrina, Erika and Lt. Surge before moving on to the second half, but otherwise it should be as it was in vanilla.
After beating Blue, you can battle Elder Li, Kimono Girl Kuni, and Mr. Game. After two of these have been beaten, listen to the phone call to unlock the weather superbosses. Completing all of these unlocks the final superboss after also completing the Dragon’s Den Multi and the Celebi event in Ilex Forest. Red is not required for any of these.


Q: Can I contact you?
A: I’d love to hear about your experience with my hack. Please contact me on Discord.
