Pokemon Glitter Gold: Trashlocke
V1.2.0.1By @elysssium
Traverse the nightmare version of Johto, with fierce gauntlets, limited heals and a team of weaklings!
-Hotfix, removed an NPC that could heal the player during a gauntlet
About this hack
Glitter Gold is a Trashlocke hack:
The game derives it's difficulty from restricting the player's resources, access to powerful pokemon, and making healing resources sparse, while keeping vanilla trainer teams untouched.
Marts no longer sell potions, while the weakling trainers of Johto, tired of getting swept, are teaming up. Do you have what it takes to make it to the Pokemon League?
Main Features:
- Gauntlets:
The player cannot exit the gauntlet, until all of it's trainers are cleared ,
Allowing for fast-paced but also challenging game-play.
- Optional Challenges, Achievements, rewards and Karma:
Certain areas feature optional challenges. The player can be rewarded with valuable loot, gain achievements and also better Karma, for the game rewards the brave and punishes the cowardly.
- New Routing:
The game breaks the mold of the traditional HGSS sequence of events, to account for and actually make use of Johto's level curve, adding new events, dialogue, and small story bits to accommodate for the changes!
- Expanded Dex:
The game includes a carefully crafted roster of encounters, most routes featuring 3-5 different mons, ensuring variety in each playthrough
- Evolutions are Changed:
Most evolutions are delayed, and many are removed. e.g. Baltoy evolves into Claydol, treecko evolves into grovyle, but not any further, while Feebas doesn't evolve at all.
Other Features:
-Kanto - Main game:
Kanto becomes mandatory, as the player navigates 3 vicious gauntlets in it, before even reaching the Victory Road.
- Overworld Changes:
It's not the same Johto you remember! Added ledges, overworld grass, moved buildings around, and added overworld weathers, including insta-trick room and perma-sun in certain areas.
- Removed EVs
- Nerfed HMs
- New TMs:
Moves like Zap Cannon and Nightmare make a comeback, in the form of teachable TMs. Also added some new TMs of interesting moves, like Aqua ring and Spite, to spice up the gameplay, and make way for cool lines.
- Added cool niche items:
Sprinkled all over Johto, items like the Metronome, Big Root or Wiseglasses can be found, either via Npcs, Quests, or as items.
Quality of life:
The game is made with Nuzlocking in mind, and so:
- Marts sell Rare Candies, Heart Scales and Max repels,
