Description

Happy late 30th Anniversary!!! This is the Yellow version of the hack I made for the Red, Green and Blue versions of the game, therefore, the work I’ve done on this project is nearly identical to what that hack changed. Therefore, it’s a ROM hack that aims to enhance the graphics of Pokémon Yellow for the Gameboy and Game Boy Color, whilst still maintaining the general artstyle of the game and better reflecting Ken Sugimori’s designs featured in the game’s promotional art.

Also, the names for the towns and human characters have been reverted back to their Japanese versions, as I felt that would make sense for a region based on one located in real-world Japan. (With the exception of Lt.Surge for the most part. As he’s American with a non-Japanese name in the Japanese version, and I personally find the name Lt. Surge to sound far cooler than Matisse. Besides, perhaps Matisse could be thought of as his first name, with Surge being his surname.

Though I have referred to him as “Lt. Matisse Surge” on the Gym sign in Vermilion/Kuchiba city.) Also included is an additional version of the hack that allows the player to play as a more ambiguously-gendered or non-binary protagonist. This hack is a labour of love for a game that I hold so dearly to my heart. I hope you enjoy it. (Also, this hack uses Pokémon Yellow Legacy v.1.0.10 as a base, so the graphical tweaks might extend to some of those which Yellow Legacy introduces to the game.)

Features

Graphical tweaks

  • Every trainer battle sprite (Including two completely ones, and two redesigned ones outside of those featured in the original game)
  • Many, if not all overworld sprites
  • Some of the Pokémon’s front sprites (Including the full starter Pokémon lines, Pikachu, Raichu, Oddish, Machop, Golem, Ekans, Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Pidgey, the PureRGB Tower Catacombs Pokémon, and perhaps more)
  • Many tilesets
  • Title screen, trainer card, and back sprites for the player character
  • New logo for the title screen, using the Pokémon Gold and Silver logos as a base
  • I believe some of the Gym Leader overworld sprites might be edited versions of Gen 2 ones?
  • Altered palettes for some areas

Other tweaks

  • Restored the towns’ Japanese names
  • Restored/retranslated most human characters’ Japanese names
  • Changes the option to throw rocks at Safari Zone Pokémon to simply going near them, though the option will be mechanically identical
  • Some minor text changes to ensure that the game still feels like it’s from the ’90s
  • Some text references to other videogames that I’m fond of
  • The player is slightly more polite to Copycat
  • The Great Ball has been renamed to Super Ball, the Ultra Ball has been renamed to Hyper Ball, and PureRGB’s Hyper Ball has been renamed to Mega Ball
  • A hiker is high on mushrooms, like in the Japanese version
  • Translated the bird wordplay in Erik/Koji and Sara/Atsuko’s Japanese dialogue into English (In the Japanese version, Atsuko says “Pokémon tori”, meaning “obtain Pokémon”, while Koji says “tori Pokémon”, meaning “bird Pokémon”. This wordplay was omitted in the English version, as the joke was specifically reliant on the Japanese language. My attempt to translate the joke was making Sara/Atsuko say “I wanna win Pokémon here”, with Erik/Koji mishearing it as “I wanna winged Pokemon here”. Maybe there’s a better way to translate the joke, but hopefully my attempt works well enough)
  • Seafoam Islands/Twins Island is now referred to as a single island, like in the Japanese version
  • One of the bikers now says “Think you’re sneaky, pipsqueak?!” instead of “Come out and play, little mouse!” in order to make him sound less creepy
  • I’ve reverted the game’s end credits to only feature the names of Pokémon Yellow’s original developers. This was merely done to make the hack feel more authentic to the ’90s, and was not intended to downplay the contributions of the Yellow Legacy developers. Please support their work.
