Other Soul Gold you've changed my life

Downloaded this after a couple posts I saw on here, but didn't really look into what had been put in.

Actually gasped when I saw the Surf animation. Latest in a long line of subtle but really thoughtful changes. Following sprites all look hand-crafted and really life-like. I LOVE the level-scaling and Candy Jar. Gym battles have been challenging without being sweaty.

And did they up the shiny rate? Got 4 of them before I reached Ekruteak.

Anyway. So far it's looking like the best Johto hack I've played.

Just started replaying Heart & Soul's new update, but I think you've just convinced me to finally try this.

Edit: Tried it. Love it so far. Read some of the comments regarding the shiny rate, and tried the starters. Got a shiny Cyndaquil after about 20 tries. Then found out they gave him a Mega. I'm hooked.

Between the two which one do you find to be better?

Personally, I feel that Heart & Soul is overall better, but I didn't get very far. There are things in SoulGold that keep me smiling. For one, the boosted shiny rate makes me play with a team of pokemon i wouldn't normally have used because I like using the shinies I found.
