About Pokemon Fool's Gold

Pokemon Fool's Gold is one of the most creative concept hacks in the GBC library. Every single Pokémon has been reworked with new types, redesigned sprites, updated movesets, and revised locations — think Alolan and Galarian regional forms, but applied to all 251 original Pokémon at once. The Johto you know is still there, but nothing plays the way you expect.
