While Gen 4 hacking is often seen as lagging behind Gen 3, the goal with this project is to show what’s possible and encourage more creators to explore it. HeartGold Generations includes Pokémon from Generations 1 through 9, quality-of-life updates like nature changing, and modern gameplay mechanics, all built into a familiar yet fresh experience. ## Features: • ~835 Pokémon from over 400 families, across all 9 generations are available • All Trade-Evolutions and Cross-Generation Evolutions are available • Free Rare Candies to raise weaker wild pokemon • Buyable Nature Mints and Ability Capsules • Free Heart Scales after 7 Gyms for relearning moves • Level-Cap in place to prevent overleveling • Fully functional Mega Evolution • Level curve adjusted slightly to make Gym leaders more relevant • Gym Leaders have slightly altered teams to promote more Johto Pokémon use • Amount of Pokémon and general difficulty/moveset power are identical (Falkner’s Pidgey to Hoothoot for example) • Some generic late-game trainers have had their levels boosted to be less irrelevant • Three versions of the hack for those who prefer different features (See download section) [PokéHarbor Link]() __**Download:**__ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P7HC6KeD3spiZ5OwZZ-XYG-4HHw8bjzB/view?usp=drivesdk ## Download links - https://www.pokeharbor.com/2025/08/pokemon-heartgold-generations/ - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P7HC6KeD3spiZ5OwZZ-XYG-4HHw8bjzB/view?usp=drivesdk ## Files - **Artifact:** `Pokemon Heart Gold Generations Full Version 05AUG2025.nds` (console/nds)
