Fan-Made Pokemon Heartfelt Gold Hack Adds 1,000+ Pokemon

Creator Trinsic has released a trailer for Pokemon Heartfelt Gold, an NDS ROM hack built on Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, according to Game Rant. The trailer includes a GitHub link where players can obtain the fan-made game.

According to Trinsic, the hack features more than 1,000 Pokemon. It also adds pocket dimensions holding pieces of other regions and their Legendary or Mythical Pokemon, including Darkrai, Victini, Calyrex, Glastrier, Spectrier, Zarude and multiple Ultra Beasts.

The trailer places Victini in a small room at Liberty Garden, while Regirock appears in its iconic cave as in Generation 3. It also shows a 2D sprite version of Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Confirmed features and a missing SoulSilver version

Confirmed features include new locations, every Legendary and Mythical Pokemon available as static encounters, updated Trainers, bonus battles for Gym Leaders, the Elite 4 and Champion, fixed buggy locations such as Goldenrod City, and a level cap throughout Johto.

Trinsic said a version based solely on Pokemon SoulSilver does not currently exist and may never exist, though they referred to it as Soulful Silver.

Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver were originally released on March 14, 2010. The franchise marks its 30th anniversary in 2026, a year in which The Pokemon Company has already brought Pokemon FireRed and FireLeaf to Switch and Switch 2.
