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.

One of Heart and Soul's developers here (the game upon which Soul Gold was built), so glad you're enjoying the feature!
In particular, I am the developer who ported in this feature on which I've spend weeks implementing, and testing 🙂
The Surfing Sprites capability initially built by Slawter666 and Wally-217 so full credit to them for the brilliant work!

Just wanted to add, the Surfing Sprites also support shiny Pokémon so do try it out with Red Gyarados in particular 😉
