GS Chronicles

Pokemon GS Chronicles: Redefining Classic Johto Adventures

Hello, fellow Pokemon enthusiasts! I'm Overlord Kaktus/Gold/Ruki Studios. You might recall my other projects like Pokémon Ragnarök, or maybe not, haha! I'm a Spanish-speaking ROM hacker, known for my contributions in the realm of Game Boy Color ROM hacking from 2010 to May 2014. Today, I'm thrilled to share an old project that I've decided to resurrect. I genuinely hope this venture sees completion.

The genesis of this project dates back to late 2010, initially taking shape as an "idea" that was halted in 2015. However, it has now been resurrected from the ground up.

This project draws heavy inspiration from Chaos Rush's hack, "Pokemon Dark Violet." In other words, this hack is a "reboot" of Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, weaving a new storyline while retaining the essence of the original games. Influenced by the original HGSS remakes and concepts seen only in Polished Crystal, this hack strives to create a unique and unseen Johto narrative.

A Fresh Johto Adventure

While the main plot and storyline resemble those of HGSS/GSC, the project introduces a host of new and innovative features, setting it apart from traditional GSC remakes. Here are some noteworthy highlights:
