Star Beasts - Asteroid Version ROM

Star Beasts – Asteroid Version is a Gameboy ROM Hack by Soul Valor based on Pokemon Red. It was last updated on September 03, 2024.

Description

Star Beasts – Asteroid Version is an overhaul of the previous Meteor Version that breathes new life into the game.

Features

• A completely overhauled soundtrack! Almost none of the music from the original games remains!
• An overhauled Pokedex, complete with backsprites, that fixes balance issues and replaces uglier designs and makes older evolutionary families more consistent.
• Even more overhauled movesets, with even more new moves!
• The Steel and Dark type!
• New areas and new in-game events!
• New types of trainers with different rosters and improved AI!
• New dialogue, including getting rid of references to “Pokemon.” (Unless the team forgot, oops!)
• Rebalancing of the game to make it more accessible to newcomers, including plenty of NPCs that give you hints on where to find rare Star Beasts! And, as if that weren’t enough, there’s documentation on every Beast! (Although the game is best experienced blind, use your discretion!)
• Various quality-of-life improvements, such as an experience bar!

Known Glitches

• Music can sound wrong or loop improperly on older, less accurate emulators like VisualboyAdvance or older versions of NO$GBA. Use accurate emulators like BGB or MGBA.
• Certain areas and encounters may cause crashes on less accurate emulators. Save often, and avoid saving in specific areas, especially a certain location in Celadon City.
• Rewinding can lead to severe glitches or crashes, similar to issues in vanilla Gen 1. It’s safer to use savestates instead.
• Beasts revived after fainting due to recoil damage will become poisoned. Heal them with an item or visit a Star Beast Center.

Inventory Glitches (Should Be Fixed but Mentioned for Posterity)

• Sometimes, depositing items shows incorrect names (visual glitch only).
• Depositing Items May occasionally crash the game. Save and reload before depositing items, especially in Saffron City.
