Description

Pokemon Solus Red is a near-vanilla romhack of Gen 1. It changes only a few things from the original games, without overhauling so much that it ceases to be Gen 1, and the whole thing becomes a Ship of Theseus paradox.

Features

  • All 151 Pokémon are obtainable through normal means. Specifically, “normal means” is one of the following:

    • Caught in the wild
    • Evolved into via an in-game method
    • Found in a Poké Ball in the overworld
    • Battled (and caught) via interacting with its sprite in the overworld
    • Gifted to the player
    • Purchased
    • Restored from a fossil
  • HMs can be taught to party Pokémon without using up one of their move slots

    • Each Pokémon has a new Field Move slot, which is separate from its regular move slots
    • In addition to HMs, the TMs Teleport, Dig, and Softboiled can be taught in Field Move slots
  • Some new content is added, and some visual content is changed

    • Prof. Oak can be battled as a post-game opponent
    • There is a new NPC, the Trader, who can trade your Pokémon back to you in order to evolve them
    • 48×48 back sprites are implemented
    • Front sprites are changed, and now use a mix of Red/Green (JPN), Red/Blue, and Yellow sprites
  • Some bugs/oversights are fixed

Version differences

The differences between the three versions of this romhack (Solus Red, Solus GreenSolus Blue) are solely cosmetic. Specifically, these things differ:

  • Title screen version text
  • Title screen Pokémon carousels (matches the original releases’ carousels)
  • Game Boy Color “duochrome” palettes (matches the original releases’ GBC palettes)
  • Super Game Boy palettes (which affect only title screen, SGB border graphics, and Game Corner slots)
  • End credits text: “RED/GREEN/BLUE VERSION STAFF” (depending on version)

Changelog

V1.4

  • Fixed a bug for the Victory Road Fossil Room warp which warped you outside Victory Road instead of back to 1F

V1.3

  • Changed wording in Field Move teaching prompt: “Learn this as a temporary FIELD MOVE?” -> “Teach this as a temporary FIELD MOVE?”
  • Changed Blaine’s sprite to the Silph President sprite, like in Yellow Version
  • Changed type matchup for GHOST -> PSYCHIC to 2x effectiveness (Super Effective) instead of 0x effectiveness
  • Changed move typing for Karate Chop, Gust, and Sand-Attack to match the Gen 2 updates (now FIGHTINGFLYING, and GROUND respectively)
  • Added an animated in-battle EXP bar to the HUD
  • Added an in-battle ‘already caught’ indicator to the HUD (the icon is the one used in Gen 2)
  • Implemented partially forward-patched learnsets via Gen 2 tradeback learnsets (check here for details)
  • Added TM51 (Flamethrower), TM52 (Fire Punch), TM53 (Ice Punch), and TM54 (Thunderpunch) to support the newly forward-patched Pokémon learnsets
    • The TM pamphlet on the top floor of Celadon Mansion has been updated accordingly (the text now mentions 54 TMs instead of 50)
  • Added Bill’s father, a new NPC in Bill’s grandfather’s house in Fuchsia City; he will sell you a Flamethrower TM for 8000p (as he is the Move Tutor in Crystal Version who teaches Flamethrower, he is a good fit for the role)
  • Added new Clerk on 2F of Celadon Dept. Store who sells the 3 new elemental punch TMs
  • Moved the 3 Field Move TMs (Dig, Teleport, Softboiled) to the new Clerk on 2F of Celadon Dept. Store (instead of the vanilla TM Clerk)
  • Updated credits; they now make references to:
    • Solus developer (me)
    • Game disassembly (pret)

V1.2

  • Fixed a bug where the post-game Professor Oak battle wouldn’t trigger even after becoming the Champion
