| Description |
Experience the cut content from Japanese Blue with a few new changes thrown in!
* You can now choose to play as a girl!¹
* This means gender specific dialogue changes!²
* A new item was added called the ‘Linking Cord’.
* A new in-game trade has been created for the late game.
* The Super Gameboy border has been beautifully redesigned.
* New Pokémon sprites borrowed from the Spaceworld ’97 demo!
* Hidden inside the Pokédex are 2 secret but inaccessible Pokémon!
* Oddish can learn Leech Seed now. A personal preference that needed to happen.
Changes imported over from Japanese Blue:
* The prizes at the Game Corner.
* Wild Pokémon spawns.
* In-game trades.
* It goes without saying, but there are still a good number of sprites carried over from Blue.
In places where Japanese Blue’s changes were carried over to the international releases, content that was left behind in Green version have been added in Blue’s place:
* The old Pokédex entries! These weren’t seen again until Pokémon Fire Red.
* Some old Pokémon designs have been brought back.
* The slot machine graphics have been brought over, and updated with a colour palette that fits in with the existing international slot machine palettes.
* The roster of Pokémon on the Title Screen.
* M̶t̶.̶ ̶M̶o̶o̶n̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶t̶o̶r̶e̶d̶.̶ Just kidding! People shouldn't be subjected to that.
This project originally started out as a very simple graphics swap in 2021. It wasn’t realised at first, that it's not just Pokémon sprites that are compressed. After learning this, the project would require a download of the disassembly to continue making this hack, as the tool that was being used wasn’t sophisticated enough to get the job done. It didn’t take long to realise the potential here, so some decisions were made to add some new stuff to the game, although it felt like the current ideas at the time weren’t enough. After a long hiatus, information was stumbled upon by chance that there was a bunch of content that was only in the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue, and that’s when the vision for this hack was fully realised.
This hack aims to be what Pokémon Blue was in Japan. A ‘What if?’ third version of the generation 1 games (before they made Pokémon Yellow).
In terms of hacks go, this one’s pretty vanilla. But it was felt like the idea of replaying generation 1, but as a girl and with some minor tweaks here and there would be a cool idea to some people!
One more thing. Missingno.. Sadly, because of these changes, Missingno. no longer acts like it did in Red & Blue, and acts more like its volatile counterpart in Pokémon Yellow. So tread with caution!
If in the future a fix is found for this, there will make an update!
[1] Playing as a girl was made possible by 2 people. Mateo’s assembly code for adding a female player, and Moa151’s artwork (Full references are in the readme). Moa151’s art included 3 individual sprites in the style of Red & Green, which were used as a base and then developed further by Marksmithwas12 (myself).
[2] Only where applicable, based on the dialogue used in Fire Red & Leaf Green. |
