About Pokémon SoulGold and rahtak
SoulGold is listed on Hackdex as a project by @rahtak. The documentation repository is Eemeliri/soulgold.
Observed Hackdex version v1.0.4.5 (2026-08-19). The listing describes an expanded, purely Johto-focused experience based on an unofficial Heart & Soul expansion port, not affiliated with official Heart and Soul 2.0.
Credits (official README, abbreviated)
The README credits the HnS Dev Team, smithk200’s expansion port, Rafael Sanna (custom Mega sprites and mugshots), RHH / pokeemerald-expansion, TeamAquaHideout, and many others. The full list is on GitHub. The project asks that users also credit the makers of Pokémon Heart and Soul because those assets are used.
The “rohtak” search
Some searches misspell the author as “rohtak.” The Hackdex handle is rahtak. There is no separate official page for that typo.
