    Title says all, I wanted a simple 151 hack for Yellow without additional types or changes, and figured others may want something on the simple side as well.

    Current Version: 1.3

    FEATURES:

    All 151 Pokemon obtainable
    Crit rate fixed (1/16 chance and Focus Energy/Dire Hits work properly)
    Type effectiveness updated (ghost is now super effective against psychic, poison normally effective against bug, ice not very effective against fire, bug not very effective against poison and ghost)
    Trade evolutions changed to evolve at Level 37

    There are two patches, one that changes the TM Brock gives you into SURF so you can teach it to Pikachu, and the other does not.

    Screenshots of Surf and Catching the otherwise unobtainable (in Yellow) Weedle:

    I like your location choices for where the added Pokemon appear, they make alot of sense. I have a question though. What level does Mew appear at within it's location?

    Thanks, I was going for a realistic approach, the only ones I disliked having to put in were the fossils, I would have liked to make something like after the elite four you get the other fossil but I decided that you can always skip Sea Foam Islands (which is what I used to do as a kid lol) so it wasn't guaranteed that you would get both fossil Pokemon before getting to the Lab to resurrect them.

    Mews spawn at level 50

    Thanks for replying. You could probably swap out an item for the other Fossil, like you did with the Surf TM thing. That'd probably be the easiest way to do it. The only problem with that is that is the player is given the chance to pick their Fossil. They could either wind up with 2 of the same, or one of each...

    As for me, I'm going to try trading in an extra Lv 8 Bulbasaur and see if the Brock through Walls glitch works well enough to let me get both fossils. ??????

    You're very welcome! I'm glad other people were looking for something simple to just enjoy the nostalgia :)
     
    Follow-up Question:

    How do I get both Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee?

    Thanks again!

    I had thought that you could get both in vanilla Yellow, but I was mistaken. I'll fix that in a bit, thank you for bringing it to my attention!

    It's really nice to see a hack that caters it to a more classic experience than a full blown upgrade like most of the hacks on the sideshowcase list. Thank you very much for this!

    I'm glad you like it! I just updated it to include wild Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee so now it is truly all 151 available (unless there was something else I missed in which case, please point it out!)

    Definitely agree with you, I can appreciate all the work and effort that clearly went into those more ambitious hacks, but they are too much for me, I just want to enjoy old things in a freshened up way and that's what I try to do with my hacks. Simple but effective :)
     
    After 20 years, I have finally received my "diploma certificate" for completing my pokedex!

    I have put in a lot of hours into this version to complete it, and everything works perfectly and everything is where it is supposed to be. If you want an authentic version of Pokemon Yellow but you are worried about investing time into something that might not work, have no fear with this one! It is perfection!

    10/10!!!
     
    Is there a specific location for Raichu in the powerplant? I've been searching for what feels like forever and can't find one.

    Raichu spawns like a regular wild pokemon, just a low chance
     
    hey dearman4,

    I was originally playing the vanilla ROM for Yellow, but wanted the chance at pokemon that aren't normally in the game so I downloaded your ROM and opened my save state file from the original ROM with your ROM.

    So far the game plays fine, but I have a few questions:

    -Can I still get surf if I can't get it from Brock? I'm at the Saffron City gym in my save state file

    -For pokemon that only evolve during a trade, at what level will they evolve?

    oh and thanks for making this!

    The way that Surf works in this is that the TM for BIDE now contains SURF, so if you still have the TM you can use it like normal, the HM SURF is unchanged but cannot be taught to Pikachu, I'm afraid. You could use the link feature of VBA-m to trade your Pikachu to another save file, beat Brock and then teach the TM and trade back.

    All trade Pokemon evolve at level 37

    You're very welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying it 🙂

    Just went into Cycling Road and used a Super Rod and fished one up first try! Don't know why it showed up as LOCATION UNAVAILABLE but it was there!
     
    By any chance is there any kind of list that can tell you where to find all the pokemon in your version on the chance you get bad luck on finding some?
