Pokemon Gold's Adventures: Destiny of a Hero (Series)

Pokemon Gold's Adventures: Destiny of a Hero is a Pokemon hack series that began in 2008, created by GoldsAdventureStorys (now going under GoldFinale). The series starts on a simple request from the titular character's mother for him to pick up groceries from Viridian City, and eventually goes on to become one of the most beloved hack series of all time (maybe even the most).

While on his adventure, Gold discovers that he has the Power of Light and is destined to become a hero. Although he is initially reluctant to do so, he is eventually persuaded to carry out his fate by his grandfather (nicknamed "Gramps"), and wards off several forces, each one being more dangerous than the last.

This series is especially notable for being one of the very few hacks to have a proper ending, rather than being Cut Short, with 4 seasons (95 episodes total), 2 movies (both of them canon to the series), and 1 spinoff series (Pokemon Lendon's Hoenn Journey) being made during its official run. However, the series franchise remains strong, with a sequel (Pokemon Toran's Fate), 1 additional movie (non-canon), and a remake of Season 1 titled Pokemon Gold's Adventures DP (still in progress) being made after the actual series ended. There will also be an upcoming special spun off from Pokemon Gold's Adventures: Destiny of a Hero titled Pokemon Ryouken's Hope (which was originally intended to be a series).

Badass: A lot of characters, but Gold and Andrew in particular.

Big Bad: Split up into seasons, with each Big Bad being more powerful than the last (with the exception of Cloud, who's weaker than Stanno, but stated to be a more skilled fighter.

Heel Face Turn: Salina, and technically speaking, Silvera (who was a part of Silver, but was never evil himself).

The Hero: Gold, obviously.

Heroic Sacrifice: Lendon pushing Gold out of the way of Silver's attack and taking it head on, Red deciding to fuse with Gold permanently to help defeat Stanno, and Gramps sacrificing his life to allow everybody to escape from the dark dimension before it explodes.

Relative Button: Telling Gold that you enjoyed killing his family (we find out that his son and Pikachu survived, though) is not the smartest thing to say right in front of his face.
