How to Get Rid of the Ghosts in Cerulean City

Pokemon Shiny Gold is a fan-made remake of Pokemon Gold, originally released for Game Boy in 1999. The Game Boy ROM was hacked and files from Pokemon Firered was incorporated into the game. The original Pokemon Gold game had over 100 new species. The main character went on a quest to master Pokemon battling, where characters use species that they controlled to engage in battles that strengthen the Pokemon and help advance the plot. One of the areas in Pokemon Shiny Gold — Cerulean City — had ghosts that blocked the player’s way, preventing the player from advancing further through the story. The ghosts can only be overcome by using the Ghostbuster, which must be fixed before the player can implement it to get rid of the ghosts.
