PROGRESS: Project Version 1.4.5 (Completed) - 18/11/2025 - This is a complete game. The full Johto story and the Kanto post-game are both finished and playable from start to finish. The game is still receiving updates with new content and features.

It is a complete, quality-of-life ROM hack that enhances the classic SoulSilver adventure without losing its original charm. The game introduces a brand new, expanded story where Pokémon species are mysteriously disappearing, only to be replaced by their regional forms. This hack is packed with new content, including 11 brand new custom forms (like Clodsire), 65 custom-colored shiny Pokémon with an increased encounter rate, and a more challenging difficulty curve. With a ton of modern QoL features like reusable TMs, the Gen 5 repel system, and substitute HMs, this is the definitive, modern way to re-experience the Johto and Kanto regions.

🛑Features:

➡️Expanded & Enhanced Story: The game's main story has been enhanced with a new plot where Pokémon species are mysteriously disappearing and being replaced by their regional forms.

➡️65 Custom-Designed Shinies & Increased Rate: The game features 65 brand new, custom-colored shiny Pokémon and an increased shiny encounter rate of 1/2048 to make them easier to find.

➡️New Custom Forms & Regional Variants: The game includes 11 brand new, custom-made forms that replace existing Pokémon (such as Clodsire replacing Quagsire), in addition to official regional forms like Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Growlithe.

➡️Substitute HMs: A unique quality-of-life feature that allows you to use certain combat moves (like Night Slash) in place of HM moves (like Cut) in the overworld.

➡️Increased Difficulty & Rebalanced Trainers: The game is designed to be more challenging than the original SoulSilver (but easier than StormSilver), with all boss trainers having improved teams and better movesets.

➡️Enhanced Viability & Rebalanced Pokémon: Many Pokémon have had their stats, types, abilities, and movesets altered to make them more viable in battle (e.g., Dragon/Bug Yanmega).

➡️Diversified Wild Encounters: Nearly every route has had its wild encounter tables updated to include a much greater variety of Pokémon from the first four generations.

➡️New Soundtrack: The game features 10 new music tracks from other Pokémon games like Platinum and Black 2/White 2, including a custom Cynthia remix.

➡️Gold/Kris as a Second Rival: You will be able to battle against the opposite player character as a new, second rival throughout your journey.

➡️Extensive Quality of Life (QoL) Suite: Includes reusable TMs, the modern Gen 5 repel system, an early Exp. Share, Move Reminders in every Pokémon Center, a dedicated grinding trainer, and an overhauled Apricorn system.

➡️New Events & Superbosses: The game is filled with new, original events, including encounters with legendary Pokémon and challenging superbosses.

➡️Buffed HM Moves: HM moves have been improved to make them more viable in battle, such as Flash becoming a priority Electric-type move.

➡️Buffed Ice Type: The Ice type has been improved defensively, gaining an immunity to Ice and resistances to Water and Ground.

➡️Easier Evolutions: All evolution methods that required trading have been replaced with new, accessible in-game methods.

➡️A Complete Game: The full Johto and Kanto adventures are complete and playable from start to finish.
