Game Description
A ROM hack built off of hg-engine, inspired by Pokémon HeartGold Generations. The game is designed around two core ideas: reducing the game to the bare minimum required trainer battles by removing almost every trainer from the overworld, and making it fully optimized for a two-player hardcore soul-link Nuzlocke challenge.
