Pokemon Light Platinum DS is widely considered one of the most triumphant Pokemon DS rom hacks.
Originally launching in 2011 as Pokemon Light Platinum for GBA, the game garnered such immense acclaim that the developer took on the ambitious task of reimagining it for the Nintendo DS, utilizing Pokemon HeartGold as the ROM foundation.
This brilliant decision allowed fans to experience the magic of Pokemon Light Platinum in an entirely new, captivating way.
Pokemon Light Platinum DS has 107 Pokemon from six different generations. In the game, you can encounter fairy-type Pokemon, and also, there is an increased chance of meeting shiny Pokemon in the wild.
The game has plenty of noticeable improvements compared to its original rom base version.
Modifying Pokemon DS games is not easy at all; it takes a lot of time to create a game as compared to GBA rom hacking.
But the tremendous number of positive reviews for the Pokemon Light Platinum DS inspires many rom hackers to explore more into DS rom hacking.
If you’re looking for cheats in this game, although we haven’t tested it yet, most likely, the regular Pokemon HeartGold cheats could also work in this game.

Hello, I can’t play the game; the ROM is empty on the DS emulator. If someone could help me, that would be nice.
you have to download a CLEAN spanish version of HeartGold then apply the patch from this website using xdelta for windows and MultiPatch for Mac.
Im trying to patch this rom on a MacBook and it won’t let me since I can’t use a delta patcher. is there any other way?
Hello Logan, thank for coming here. There are some online patchers that you want to try.
