On the flip side of this, I think that you really do have to be a Pokémon fan to truly appreciate what has been done here. This is a game that will kick your butt big time! As someone who has spent a ton of time with the original Heart Gold, I loved the more challenging gameplay that this provided. Make no bones about it, what you have here is a very challenging experience. One of the most fun things about this hack is the way that Pokémon Sacred Gold makes you smile when you come across a section you remember well from Heart Gold, but notice the changes that have been made here.
The XP moves even types of Pokémon can have changes to them as well. They have had their rosters changed which not only makes each battle (especially gym battles) more interesting it makes them much more challenging as some of them can have really challenging teams of Pokémon for you to overcome. The trainers have also been alerted in the game. The game features close to 500 Pokémon so that means that the entire fourth generation of Pokémon is here! That means you can pretty much have any dream team of Pokémon that you would want which is really cool. What really makes this a must-play for me is the sheer roster of Pokémon.
