I'm totally supporting this, as I want my young sister to play the Kanto games, but she's not into the GBC/GBA ones. So you're the only one I can count on. :P

I'm not sure if you're planning to add Gen II/IV debut Pokémon that is related to the Kanto natives like Bellossom, Pichu, Magnezone. I suggest you should, to fix a bit the diversity issue of 151 Pokémon.

I'll figure something out when the time comes. It's a possibility.

I'm also considering adding the Fairy type, although I'm not sure if I should or if it's worth it.
 
I heard about Light Platinum hack for DS, but this here looks also really promising. I wonder how much Red it will be and how much additional content will be added into the game. Sevii Islands too?

Probably not too much. I want it to be similar to the original, this way it can be used as a base ROM.

I've considered remaking Yellow after this is finished.

download link doesn't work for me.

It's working for me. I made a Mirror just in case.

I'm starting to test this hack rom, but TriggerHappy187, just one question: will we be able to migrate our saves to new updates? Or do we have to start a new one every time until the final version?

Thanks in advance! I've registered just to ask this and to compliment you for this excellent work. All pokemon fans are waiting for somethink like this, please keep going :)

Yes, you can even import HGSS saves and they will technically work.

Small update.

Code:

- Many sprites implemented for the main protagonist, including back sprite.
- Minor dialogue fixes.

Spoiler:

Run "xdeltaUI mod.exe", then under patch select the .xdelta patch file.

For the source file select a Heart Gold ROM.

Output file is where you will save the new rom.

Nice. {:3} Yellow version contains Pikachu emoticons pictures, I wonder how these would look like in DS remake. :)

I would like to volunteer, but I have no experience as a game tester.
