Story

This is much more than a simple graphics hack to add snow. This game takes place the same year as GSC, just later in the year. It assumes that the events of GSC (the radio tower take over, the sick Pokémon at the lighthouse, all that stuff) took place that summer, so the major events will be different and more holiday-themed. Since this is part of what I'm calling the "Johto Legacy", I will also include a few references to things that happened in "Pokémon Secrets and Rumours" and things that will happen in "Pokémon Spirits and Legends".

List of Features

Ability to play as a Boy or a Girl player, chosen in the intro
Kris as the player's main friendly rival
Hiro or Mei (Whichever player you didn't choose) as an additional rival
Major events changed to new and/or holiday-themed ones
New tilesets to give it a snowy winter feel, as well as a "Gen II-and-a-half" feel
Map updates to be more in line with Heart Gold's map designs, but not exactly identical
Physical/Special Split added like the newer games have
New Pokémon added
New moves. Flame Ball is a new "Special" Fire-Type move to melt ice blocks, and there are a couple moves from newer gens as well.
New items (Key Items, Regular Items, etc.)
Ice sliding on frozen lakes, not just in Ice Path
A few references to my other hacks you might catch
