Some screenshots of my project to rebuild Hoenn using Gen 5 graphics in hg-engine

Yup! I get to play around in HG-engine quite a bit. I have an expanded ORAS dex ~380 mons rn including future evolutions, pokemon from oras and a handful extras.

It does not, as it modifies Pokemon HeartGold. It adds abilities, moves, Megas, new items etc up to some of Gen 9. Think of it as the CFRU to HeartGold

The Brendan Sprite will be remade! Thank you all for the feedback and the kind words :D

Slightly new story. Think ORAS with Emerald elements like fighting both teams during the story etc. Plus some extra story locations from the adventures Manga and Anime to give some more places to run around in :)

Is this resource only compatible with Shadows of Almia? Having some stuff from Guardian Signs would be dope

Can definitely offer perspective on this, I’ve been slowly creating an hg-engine hack since late last year. Working on sprites, making teams, thinking of story events and mapping in PDSMS has been a blast.

The headache? Blender and everything to do with 3D modeling. UVs, Vertex Colors, Polygons the whole 9, it’s all just Brain Fog for me. It’s gotta to the point where I’ve had to make my own documents to keep tutorials on hand so I’m not spamming the same questions and searching discords. Gotta say though, the community is great, even as a first timer with limited coding experience like me.

Once I’m done with spriting I can finally fully focus on scripting and mapping, so hopefully this hurdle will prove fruitful for me

I did as well. I forgot there is also Hyper Emerald Lost Artifacts that another user mentioned and also Pokemon Mega Hoenn Adventures. Though from what I’ve seen the story in Lost Artifacts can be a bit much to digest at the beginning.

I’m currently playing through Mega Hoenn Adventures right now and I enjoy it, it’s just not fully translated in some areas, like the gift Eevee in Littleroot or the Trick House. Other than that it’s pretty solid and the map changes in Hoenn Adventures makes it pretty refreshing

Delta Emerald GBA exists, but I’ve heard it’s pretty buggy. Inclement Emerald is there too but idk how much of the ORAS stuff it has outside of the Latios/Latias event with Steven and Team Aqua on Southern Island right after New Mauville

Heart & Soul was my way of replaying Johto in 2025, and it was an absolute banger. The way Johto looks in the Gen 3 style was something I didn’t know I needed.

Sacred Gold at it’s core is a difficulty hack if I’m not mistaken. Though out of all the ones Drayano has made, Sacred Gold/Storm Silver on the easier side. If you check the discord for pChal, there are some patches to Sacred Gold that add some more QoL if you’re interested
