Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Description:
On an overworld map, battles are determined by choosing a formation from a group
within 32x32 tile zone. The game calculates the zone based on the coordinates
of the party.
However, the zone calculation is not run on each step, but rather on each redraw
of the map.
Examples of redraws include exiting battle, exiting the menu, and exiting a
town.
It is easy to see this bug by entering and exiting the menu at a boundary where
the enemy formations change, then walking into the adjacent zone until a battle
is triggered. Monsters will appear from the previous zone.

What this patch does:
Corrects the behavior by loading from variables that are updated every step.
The anti patches effectively remove this patch.
