Pokemon Righteous Green ROM

Pokemon Righteous Green is a Gameboy ROM Hack by xNightdazerX based on Pokemon Red. It was last updated on March 17, 2025.

Description

Pokemon Righteous Green is a Rom-hack of Pokemon Red version, and a large-scale one at that. The goal of this project was to enhance what Red is in many different ways, from the Pokemon themselves to the experience of Kanto as a whole.

From fixing bugs and glitches, adding new places to explore, fighting new or stronger adversaries and perhaps even discovering some mysteries beyond what I’ve described– the original charm of Generation 1 has never been more charming.

Features

• Every single Pokémon has been altered, be it in stats, typing or the moves they learn– you will always find new and useful ways to use them.
• Amongst the new Pokémon, you will also encounter new attacks that they can learn from leveling up or from a TM, ones that are either more powerful, have new effects or perhaps originating from different regions altogether…
• Alongside all Pokémon from Red/Blue/Green being available to catch, you will also be able to obtain some rather hard-to-get ones such as trade evolutions by level up, you may also find that certain Pokémon are able to evolve beyond what was originally thought possible in Generation 1.
• New Key Items you find along your way will help provide a more enjoyable experience…. while I don’t want to spoil all of the fun, just know that the issue of item space is no longer there.
• Your journey itself will be larger but also different while keeping the spirit of Kanto fully intact. There will be many new twists and turns, both in the routes you travel and the people/Pokémon you meet. The challenges provided with these changes will keep you on your toes without letting things feel dull or out of place.
• A built-in level cap that aligns with the highest level of the Gym Leader’s ace, alongside the addition of Common Candies at every mart to keep you up to pace
• Play as Green!
• All player sprites are changed
• Relevant dialogue is adjusted
• Added the Pokémon Green SGB border
• Red takes Green’s place in Seafoam
• Saves are compatible with both versions, so you can swap whenever
• And much more!
