Pokémon XY: Naturia Version
A tough, feature-heavy Pokémon Gold hack that brings Abilities, the physical/special split and Pokémon up to Generation IV to the Game Boy Color.
What it is
Naturia Version began as a test bed for a larger Game Boy Color project that was never finished. The story is the familiar Johto journey of Pokémon Gold, with some of the unused beta maps found in Gold's data taking the place of the released ones; the real focus is on new mechanics, and it is known as a very hard game.
What's new
- Abilities on a Generation II engine, including new ones for a few selected Pokémon.
- The physical/special split, and moves updated to match their later versions.
- A selected Pokédex with Pokémon from every generation up to IV.
- A reworked berry system, more important weather, type-boosting items and new item placements.
The last public build is the beta 0.4.1.
