About Pokemon Garbage Gold Deluxe
A post-war Johto story, including Shiny Sickness and an item drought, reshapes Pokémon Garbage Gold Deluxe around new characters and lore. Its custom battle AI and trainers lead into gauntlets with no healing, weather, Trick Room, and item limits. The overworld uses BW2 tiles and opens the Kanto Wasteland alongside other new areas. SauceyaTTa made this completed English NDS HeartGold hack, version 1.0.2. Grovyle and Celebi from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky join the adventure.
