SELECTED THE VERY BEST FRONT AND BACK POKEMONS TO MAKE THE PERFECT VERSION OF THIS GAME
NO MORE UGLY MONS LOL - USED SPRITES FROM BETA GOLD AND SILVER / POKEMON GREEN

Girl Sprite:

MART TMS LOCATION:

Mew event:
You must complete 150 pokemons in dex then go to this place in celadon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRgKCJuniL4
after it, go to cerulean cave, stay at the same tiles of mewtwo, and just walk, you will have a chance of 1% to find mew at lv 70.

No more ugly front and back sprites (preserved some original good ones front sprites)

You can choose between blue and red version and apply

Ohhhh! This looks lovely, love the non blown up backsprites. Going to give this a spin for sure after my current ROM Hack run!

 

[A User]

Can you evolve trade pokemon

 

[darthbr]

Can you evolve trade pokemon

Yes, they evolve by level, ex: kadabra to alakazam at lv 46

 

[A User]

Thanks

1.3v - 10/05/2020 - Updated some ugly sprites, final version. sorry for too many updates.

 

[Astralaria]

Thanks for the hack, I enjoyed it a lot. I had been hoping for a hack that keeps the simple colors, removes the super ugly back sprites, as well as making every mon obtainable, without doing too many other changes.
I really liked the addition of move deleter and move reminder, as well as buyable TMs, fossils and stones. I didn't actually use them, except for one double TM dig - probably a combination of having a team that learns the best moves on its own and most of the gen1 TMs being pretty garbage. Knowing that I could use them made everything more enjoyable, though, because I didn't feel forced to keep everything for the best moment.

How often did I start the game with the thought "This time I'll be strong, I'll keep my early mons and won't evolve them past stages I love" and usually I still give up or replace them. Not this time. I kept the stages I liked most and 5 of those I already had in Cerulean, since I started with Squirtle. Pikachu in Viridian Forest, Spearow on route whats-its-number left of Viridian City, Charmander and Bulbasaur in the routes next to Cerulean. Venomoth was a really late addition, I actually just caught it on Victory Road and decided to keep it. For a while I had a Dugtrio with me that I never wanted to keep, but who can say no to a lvl 32 ground type catch before Lt. Surge?

With that coverage most gyms weren't really a problem, except that I was quite a bit underleveled for Sabrina and Koga. Koga because I wanted to get Surf as fast as possible and didn't have the patience to grind, Sabrina because Alakazam is just OP. I did take my freshly caught Articuno into that fight to help out.
Speaking of impatience, I also got bored of grinding for the e4, so I stocked up on a bunch of healing items and had to reset some fights a couple of times until I got lucky with Agatha's Gengar and Blue's Alakazam. Really 3-times-in-a-row-paralyzed lucky. Or let-me-do-3-swords-dance lucky.

The only modern QOL feature I really missed was the indicator in battle if I already caught a mon. It is annoying if I just want to occasionally catch mons for my dex, but keep getting duplicates, because my tiny brain can't remember if I already have a Cubone or not.

The enemy AI made me laugh a few times, when switching out their mon because they have a type disadvantage, but then to the same type. I have water out, they fire, they switch, to another fire - and in the next round back again. So many free attacks, thanks guys. It did bite me in the e4 though, when Agatha switched in her Golbat into my dig attempt.
I played as a girl and I really love that addition. The only thing I noticed was that the sprite looked weird when fishing, the hair just getting kinda cut off where the fishing lower half starts. Also mom still said all boys leave home one day, would probably have been nice to change that to kids.

[Parrotguin]

I'm about to update from 1.3 (I think that was the May 3rd release) to 1.5 (the August 8th release). Do I just rename the save file to reflect the latest version?

Yes my brother, just replace the files and rename ''same name of the save''
ex: red.gb
red.sav

 

[ricomanuel32]

Hey does the Mew glitch not work with this hack?

 

[darthbr]

I never used this brother. But IF u read theres a special event that u can find him after own 150 pokes. Take The certificate in celadon. Then try to walk near mewtwo spawn. Mew Will spawn into The wild with a very low %

 

[aleksandra009]
