Yellow Legacy is LIVE May 4th! Go watch the video ‘I made the Perfect Yellow Romhack’ to get the download the patch link!!
it is good to find this after the release
I'm really hoping you find a way to incorporate the Prof Oak glitch fight into yellow. Just another fun little Easter egg post elite four fight.
Yes please hope he does this
It would make for a perfect post game boss tbh
He's mentioned that he would of course do this In a stream! I watched the vod. I think it's the recent one where he was just taking a look at Yellow
This is a necessity, you can't go completely crazy making up a massive post-game but damn, Yellow needs something.
Right. Especially since with work, you could play it in the original gen 1. So we can't complain it changes the game too much.
A big part of the appeal for Yellow is how it often references the anime. I think part of the process for this should include watching all of Indigo League to find more obscure references to put in the game
It would be cool if we could play through the Indigo Leage ourselves, rather than the Elite 4. Course, that would be way too big a change.
Yeah and then add the orange isles as post game content. Wouldn't that be amazing? Probably too much work though.
this is definitely the thing for me
@@darlhiatt8136 or... first the leage and once u beat all those league opponents in knockout rounds, then u battle the elite 4 as an upgrade
Came here sad I'd never gotten around to watching this earlier and thought I was too late to say this. I absolutely, wholeheartedly agree. The Yellow we got has a lot of little nods, but creating the perfect Yellow in tune with its true mission statement should include more overt links to the anime. I'm glad someone said this from the jump, that it got so highly upvoted, and I hope in the Discord there's a faction supporting this.
Having an organised bag would be a huge QoL improvement in gen1 increasing how much it can hold would also be great
But does that actually fix the game, or has adding more than 20 items made the game TOO easy?
What about increasing the PC item storage? That way Player get to have more items without it affecting what they can do in battles
@@kyleellis1825 it's goal isn't to fix the game but to make it a but less infuriating
@@mralkholik9957 I feel like a key items bag, TM bag, and a regular items bag, is enough. the medicine and ball bags make it too easy without hold items.
This as well as the way PC storage works
part of yellow version had special rare encounters like level 9 pidgeoto in the grass in viridian forest with like a 5% or less chance to encounter that, it would be fun to have more special encounters like that with different pokemon.
I always thought doing that with the starters would be fun. And having all the gift starters be Eevees. That way you could legitimately do a living dex
@@ItsGamingFancythat would defeat point of them being starter haha
Another cool encounter is the Lv. 31 Dugtrio in Diglett cave, which at this point is SO much stronger than most of your Pokémon
Difletr? Do you mean Diglett
Would love to see additional lore of Mewtwo and Mew, adding to what is already in the Pokemon Mansion. Also, getting Mew in the post-game, similar to what we got with Mewtwo in Crystal, would be sweet.
Mew could be in the Cinnabar Mansion. That would make sense lorewise
If he put mew under the truck imagine
I may be dumb but I thought Mewtwo wasn't in crystal
At some point you cross the line from enhancing the base game to making your own canon.
Essentially, I don’t think he should touch anything about the story or lore.
@@TheSlyRomano not gonna happen. you would need to have surf before 3rd gym. without trade not possible
Alongside the badge boost change, you could simply improve Pikachu by changing it's leveling rate from medium fast to fast, so instead of needing 100,000 EXP to hit level 100 it only needs 80,000. In GSC, Red's Pikachu is significantly higher level than the rest of his team, so having it grow faster than most Pokemon would make sense
Seems like a more seamless fix than 25% badge boost
@@calebrobinson6406I think it needs both, because even at higher levels, Pikachu is pretty underwhelming in the late game.
Yes, but the Pikachu in Yellow isn't Red's Pikachu, it's supposed to be Ash's Pikachu. That's the main Protag in Yellow. R/G/B? It's Red.
@@MLPIcebergin which gen 1 Game you can get all three starters in the same playthrough? Yellow.
We could say he found someone with a starter they didnt want and traded, but we don't have any reason to asume that the complicated answer is better than the simple one
But people play with lvl caps
Would love to see the ability to rematch gym leaders in the post game. This time with pretty much full teams at E4 levels. I always appreciated that in HGSS.
I'm glad you are considering HMs for Pikachu.
One thing which may not take much work, if any work at all, would be to have the Pikachu Surfing mini game playable if your Pikachu gets Surf. This would be nice for the people who may have never gotten a legitimate Surf Pikachu through Pokémon Stadium, and therefore never had the chance to play that fun mini game.
Maybe Pikachu can keep more than 4 moves if they are HM moves. But I think it's not possible
if your pikachu knows surf, no matter how, you can play surfing pikachu minigame.
One thing I liked in Pokémon Yellow is that there’s a few NPCs that allude to characters of the week that Ash battles. Not even named characters like Team Rocket or the new Blue but just unnamed NPCs who have a Pokémon and maybe a line of dialogue that built to their purpose in the episode. It doesn’t necessarily improve the functionality of the game but if the vision of Yellow is to reference the anime it would be cool to have more frequent teams referencing one of those characters of the week, and it would probably encourage more NPC team variety while also only really being if you know you know nods rather than making more overt anime connections.
Route 6 had this with sandshrew.
Yeah, maybe victory road could include some teams from the mewtwo strikes back movie, or Butch and Cassidy could have a team in silph Co, or things like that.
The biggest crime is Blaine not having a Magmar. If only one gets an anime team, it should be him.
@@Alienldr Blaine not getting his Magmar was because Yellow came out before Ash got that far in the anime. If you remember there was a huge gap between Ash fight Koga and Blaine like nearly half the series.
@DisplayThisOkay yeah. I know that much. But now would be a good time to fix that. Lol
@@AlienldrYes, the characters they show in the Orange Islands opening (which already includes Giselle and A.J.) are probably the most iconic.
Since you are keeping the 256 glitch, how about adding one of the school-myths: make Spash have a 1/256% chance to do massive damage! (Basically even riskier guilotine/sheer cold)
that is awesome lol
💯
Yes 😂
Yeas and the truck should not lead to Mew, it should lead us to the ORANGE LEAGUE
As a kid, I always wanted NPCs to recognize and act differently when I had a strong pokemon that there was only one of or very very hard to get. It might be too messy to do this, but that would be such a cool feature!
Yeah, it felt so cool in the Scarlet/Violet DLC when one of the characters recurred and on that later meeting commented on the fact that I'd evolved the gift Pokémon she gave me and that it looked happy. Something like that here, like if Blaine recognized Moltres if you had it would be really cool.
Add to the story about how you get the starters:
- Bulbasaur: after Mt. Moon, maybe girl gives it as a gift for saving her from team rocket. Currently she gives it to you if Pikachu is happy. Give Misty’s Starmie Confusion or Psybeam to deal with Oddish, Bellsprout, and Bulbasaur, encouraging the use of Pikachu;
- Charmander: after beating Misty and talking to Bill. You now have to battle the trainer that gives it to you (his team: Electabuzz, Jynx, Magmar - which aren’t available in Yellow);
- Squirtle: after Thunderbadge (as is) and a Team Rocket encounter at Diglet Tunnel. Team Rocket has Weepinbell on team for this battle.
Yellow also had some wild encounters that weren’t in Red/Blue (found in trades instead): Lickitung in Cerulean Cave; Farfetch’d on Routes 12 & 13. Put Raichu in Cerulean Cave.
Suggestions:
Viridian Forest: Oddish
Route 2: Poliwag
Route 3: No Fire Type. Ones not really needed yet. Vulpix is a Game Corner Exclusive in Yellow.
Route 5 or 9: Ponyta
Rock Tunnel: Cubone
Route 13: Lickitung (Give it Lick via level up) and Tangela
Add Weepinbell/Victreebell and Lickitung to Team Rocket’s Team.
I’d love to see more dialogue or events between the trainer and Pikachu when following you. Ex. Pikachu zapped you when you tried to pick him up or pikachu ran around you playfully. I feel having a game based in traveling with one specific Pokémon needs more connection with said Pokémon.
Agreed. Maybe it gives you items every now and then similar to modern games.
I think it’d be cool to see Cerulean Cave as a challenge cave with trainers. This might seem odd, but it’s preposterous to think that with Giovanni being absent for (probably) years, that no trainer was able to enter the league because a leader was absent. Also, why is there a trainer blocking the cave? It would make a lot more sense if there were trainers also searching for Mewtwo like how Green is in Let’s Go.
Maybe make that trainer blocking the cave the previous champion? Have to battle him to gain entry to the cave?
Lance's quote after you defeat him in this game seems to imply that there was no champion prior to Blue.
"You are now the Pokemon League champion! ... or you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! His name is Blue! He beat the Elite Four before you. He is the real Pokemon League champion!"
It heavily implies that had blue not beaten the elite four before you did you would've just been crowned champion without any further battles beyond the elite four.
I can think ir a few: Bill (with eeveelutions), Janine (foreshadowing gen 2 Fuschia gym), Misty (it's her town afterall), Blue (still attempting to 💯% that dex)...
I think it would not make sense with anime lore, as gary didnt defeat giovanni, but have about 10 badges, 3 which he won from unseen gyms
I'd love to see the post game expanded! Maybe some locations here and there (re-used from Crystal Legacy) and a gym leaders rematch
This feels like maybe a post-EL idea, but I'd love to see a Gen I Sevii Islands. Obviously couldn't do any of the later pokemon there, but its appearance in FRLG made it part of the definitive Kanto for me
Like he said, they're severely limited by the game itself. Idk that that's possible without completely changing the infrastructure
I think we can do more and less than people are requesting,@@ItsGamingFancy There's been chatter since the beginning about the SS Anne as a post-game, which Smith mentioned they'd consider if possible. I imagine it as a repeatable battle tower where the trainers are randomized and reset, maybe coin case payouts for the Celadon Gamecorner, and a couple of minor overworld features like the Mew truck. That's all possible by triggering a map change, locking doors, adding warp panels and other existing code, and programming a handful of trainers. Stuff like roaming pokemon, introducing new areas, and cutscenes would require a lot more space. Just look up the island waypoint planned for SS Anne in the original games. It was cut for space, giving us the Koga/Sabrina order that makes no sense and the underground tunnels, but "Glitch City" is supposedly what's left.
It would be interesting to flesh out a post game story tying into crystals story with red and silvers position, gym leader rematches with advanced teams and more anime oriented teams. Potentially having Togepi or other Johto Pokemon who showed up in the anime before Orange Island ended.
Actually saying orange Islands it might be cool to try and include small islands with post game battles with the orange Island League leaders. I don't think any games included them. They did the sevi islands but I'm not sure that they are from the anime.
Yellow wasn't meant to improve Red/Blue but to be more like the anime, so I think that should be the priority
You could make Bite into the new ghost power move at like 70-80 damage. Normal has plenty of strong moves.
More accurately, Gen1 has Normal have body Slam, the hyper beam of early-to-midgame.
@@melfice999 Slam, slam, beam. The mantra of competitive gen 1 Tauros.
I was thinking Night Shade could be a Ghost type Swift clone. compensate for being only 60 BP by never missing.
Dude needs to make Mega punch and Mega Kick into fighting moves as well but still let so many pokemon learn it.
You and your team are getting up to such fun stuff! It's so wonderful to watch the whole journey and process!
It would be fun to see the team rocket sprite to include meowth with Jesse and James. Loved Crystal legacy by the way!
It would be interesting to create some small side quest about how Pikachu won't evolve and help another trainer evolve their Raichu, who then wants to join you. That might be a bit much, but that kind of spirit aligns with the game.
Even if it's simple, like an In-game trade with a few extra dialogue boxes. Or if it was Surge's Raichu. But the 2nd one risks it changing from the original too much.
Just make it catchable in varidian forest like red and blue and problem solved. Your starter Pikachu is a stubborn headache but the wild ones don't need to be.
@@blehnameless8096 That might require a rework of the Identification system.
If you somehow obtain a wild Pikachu in Yellow, both it and your starter will still have identical O.T.s and Trainer IDs, which results in the game treating them virtually the same.
Both are unable to evolve, be released, etc., as Yellow literally cannot distinguish them apart.
Most bafflingly however, is if you then link the Pikachus-both on the same save file-to Pokémon Stadium, the N64 title will actually make a distinction.
One will have unique animations and cries akin to the Anime-e.g. saying its own name-while the other still uses the default programming (like the Rentals).
What’s my source? I actually encountered this when ROM hacking myself.😅
Could this quirk come from my subpar skills? Maybe,🤷…it’s definitely a possibility.
Note that someone more technically experienced is needed to make any definitive conclusions.
@@panda_boy_103 makes sense. maybe just make raichu catchable in the powerplant low encounter rate
The biggest thing I'd like to see you pretty much covered with changing up bug type moves a bit. It would be interesting to see just how useful bugs could be against the op gen1 psychic types
Yellow was my first one. I love the ethos you’ve got to preserve it. I’m excited to see how you adapt the moves to add more of a md-tier moves and maybe even a change or two in typing for moves? Looking forward to it. Love your work
Also I always thought I was just bad at Pokemon and had no friends for trading. But now hearing again about the lack of wild encounters and the limitations of a team you can build...I feel better
I would love to see Meowth walking with Jesse and James like Pickachu is following you and seeing Mewoth even in their sprites!
I understand that this would be a huge undertaking, but since Yellow is the gen 1 game that's supposed to feel like the anime it would be really cool to have some iconic episodes happen in Yellow Legacy.
There’s a rom called “Ash Grey” that’s basically that if you were interested!
If that's what you're looking for, try the Pokemon: Ash Gray romhack. You CAN play it like standard Fire Red, but if you make some choices you get a totally different story path (like deliberately losing to the Elite Four will not end the game, but send you to the brand-new Orange Islands you won't see otherwise).
I would like Mt Silver in Yellow to see how Red got there from his view. Johto in Gen 1 graphics would be interesting
@@Devin7Eleven Gen 2 graphics aren't THAT different tho xD
@@benblack4939 Oh wow thanks!
I really love that your adding the EXP bar and UI changes. That's one of the biggest things for me. Would be nice if we could also scroll through our Pokemon like you do in the gen 2 games. Not sure if it's possible, but I also love the Pokedex upgrades you guys recently did, so those would be awesome to see as well. You guys are awesome!
Very excited for 2024 Legacy content. Y’all are doing a great job breathing life into these classics and can’t wait to see how y’all bring them together.
something that i would love to see is having all the RODs obtainable earlier in the game (for example the GOOD ROD in cerulean and SUPER ROD in celadon). Gen 1 has so many unique water types that go unused in any playthrough cuz they're all locked to the 2nd half of the game
Old Rod in cerulean, so the majikarp scam still works. Then good rod on the otherside of Diglett tunnel/right before rock tunnel. Super Rod should still be right after you deal with Snorlax, since it give pretty high level encounters.
@@kyleellis1825 it gives level 15 tops
@@bettyunicorn6132 I just meant it's kind of pointless to have it in Pewter/Viridian. You just get the ocean/pond. So Cerulean is the earliest point it makes sense to hand out. Any later than Viridian city and it ruins the magikarp scam.
Seems easiest to me to put the Old Rod around Cerulean. I like at the Cape by Bill's house, so you can fish for Krabby immediately and Dratini with a better rod as a shoutout to "Mystery at the Lighthouse." Good Rod in Viridian feels natural with all the water and Shellder. I like keeping the Super Rod post Snorlax from either Fishing Guru, allowing you to catch higher-level pokemon into the late game from past locations.
@@kyleellis1825 I don't think the Magikarp scam is worth preserving. Anyone who knows Pokemon enough to play this romhack also knows enough to not buy the Magikarp at Mt Moon. Absolutely nobody in this comment section would fall for the scam, so no need to preserve the scam.
honestly I'd love to see more ways to interact with the Pikachu. I know in base game you can look at it and interact by pressing A and having the full sprite on the screen with a little blurb about how it feels atm, but I'd like a bit more, like being able to pet with it or more sprites as it has more to say on things happening in the plot. I'd love more over world interactions with npc's and trainers and gyms.
I love the badge boost glitch. Im glad that those small glitches are gonna still be in the game. I'll definitely be following this and looking forward to the release when that time comes.
VERY excited to have discovered your content. I am recovering from a series of surgeries and have waaaay too much free time, and I can’t wait to play these roms. Also, happy new year
I feel studying the changes between the gen 1 games with Pokémon Stadium may bring up an idea or two. Also, Focus Energy could be fixed, and probably raising Hitmonchan's Special stat would be good, since he comes across as the defensive counterpart to Hitmonlee and it would make his elemental punches not useless anymore. And since specially defensive pokemon like chansey hit hard in gen 1 because of the special stat being one stat, it would be ok for hitmonchan to hit harder on the special side now and get a weaker special attack in gen 2.
Keeping Cut as a bug type would be cool since Psychic was OP in gen 1, and that alone may balance it a lot, even without a power boost. Plus it'll make it worth considering putting on a pokemon, where before it literally was used only for its out of battle effect.
And maybe adding more places to recieve gifts based on Pikachu's happiness, like the Bulbasaur gift, since in the base game that's the only reason to even care other than the players liking Pikachu's animations changing. Something to make that happiness counter worth it. Maybe receiving a good item or a good Pokémon with max happiness, and make it available early so maxing it out and receiving it early would be an extra reward.
Hopefully one of those spring up an idea. Good luck.
In the same spirit of your first and last suggestion you could add a happiness linked buff to pikachu's stats since it feels like this is what the game is telling you when it stressed your bond with your pokemon making you a strong trainer...
@@twjohnsun that too. Literally anything other than just Bulbasaur being a reward for the happiness is good. Lol
An idea for the gift could be that it’s Tauros. Make it so that the only other way besides the gift is the safari zone and that being nice to pikachu gets you a really good early-ish game reward. (I’m thinking right before/right after surge this would unlock)
Maybe stat boosting items you can use on Pikachu only or something. I feel giving a really good Pokemon for max happiness is kinda overkill. Especially when you'll get 3 starters from properly managing Pikachu's happiness.
@@MLPIcebergBulbasaur is the only thing dependent on Pikachu's happiness. Charmander and Squirtle are given to you even if Pikachu is unhappy.
Since Yellow is based on the original anime, I think you should put in more references to the anime, which can either serve as additional features or quality improvements, or simply be cosmetic (for instance, I would like to see more unique overworld sprites for characters like Brock and Misty).
He's said in streams he kinda wants to stray from the anime connection and rather focus on being definitive gen 1, but yeah, cosmetics would be cool
that why i play fire ash it is exactly like following the anime it is awesome
@@mourka01is that similar to ash grey version
I don't get why he would do a yellow legacy and lean in more towards gen 1 than towards the anime. If you want gen one then do red, blue, or green. Yellow should lean into the anime more.
@@RetroSmoo maybe im not sure tbh i havnt tried that one yet is ash grey any good? Ash red done in rpg maker so it has every pokemon from the anime all pokemon ash would have are gift pokemon
Loving all of the ideas so far that you have been touching upon and look forward to it. I think one thing that would be awesome is to have Prof Oak as a the final boss fight once podex has been completed. That was always something I wanted as a kid, kinda like in Gen 2 we get to fight Red at the very end. would be interesting to see what his pokemon line up would be if he battled.
As Yellow was my first game, excited doesn't even begin to describe my feelings for this. I really enjoyed what you did to Crystal, making it feel like a more complete game. Increased bag storage I think would be a massive upgrade by itself. More balanced teams with improved move sets for more of a challenge. A level scaling system similar to what you did with Crystal as you can fight many of the gym leaders out of order. Incorporating the Professor Oak Glitch as a post game fight similar to Red. So many more things that I can't even think of right now. Keep up the outstanding work dude! Looking forward to the finished product!
One of the things id like to see is a change to the elemental punches so that they are actually usable on hitmonchan. I wish he had buffed special in crystal for this reason.
I'd like to see more anime-exclusive characters or events make appearances. Jessie and James showing in Yellow has always been a treat, and with the game being so clearly influenced by the anime, it only makes sense to mine from that well a little more.
This is actually a really good idea since the creator claims to want to preserve what makes yellow special. And one thing that makes it special is how much it follows the anime
exactly. i made a comment explaining how much i want a game where you are forced to lose to sabrina in the first fight, and be imediately sent to her dollhouse. it's perfectly fint to have creepypasta if it's according to the canon. you would only be able to win against sabrina by bringing a ghost type pokemon in your party, otherwise she'd throw a lvl 100 kadabra with psychic at you.
If they are going to make it even more like the anime, speaking of Jessie and James, I guess one could make a GB rendition of their actual theme from the anime as an encounter theme. I would love to say I could do it myself, relearning GBMC and sending the converted MML to assemblee before March so that perhaps it could be included just fine, but the truth is I really won't have time. Hell, just figuring out which values to enter to the Wavetable channels so that it sounds like Gen 1 seems like it would be painful enough. But there are a few talented hackers who could make it work, for sure.
I am really happy to see all the juggernaut work you put into it. Cool work!
Something cool to see: a better story on that game is needed.
Bless and good work!!
Honestly really excited to see what post-game content you guys can cook up to tie into crystal legacy. Maybe some event with the legendary birds as well, like with the legendary dogs?
I'd love to see an AI fix on status moves so that it doesn't always prioritize them ie Lorelei and rest. Like even just giving them a 25% chance not to select them if they are of a super effective type would be great as it is more a quality of life thing imo.
The Lorelei Rest thing was fixed in Yellow, but specifically for the Dewgong
@@ilovepokemon-fe6hdright, but for all other Pokémon with good AI too.
Welp, the Lorelei one IS fixed on Yellow xD But some other trainers also can use that AI modification.
Yeah for sure, i agree that this is something that needs fixed and isnt just a quirky gen 1 glitch. Whats fun about beating the Champion's flareon team with a grass/poison type because he just spams reflect till the cows come home
What I would like to see in Yellow Legacy is Mew being officially captureable at Nugget Bridge through story events as a nod to the Mew Glitch there
I'm really excited to see where you decide to put all the late game wild encounters! It always felt scuba shame to run into stuff like Magmar and Tauros so late when I've really wanted to use them
loving all these series, please just take your time
Consider looking at what they did with the starter Pikachu and Eevee in the remake where they buffed the stats. That may be a good place to get some ideas for how to balance Pikachu.
I remember reading somewhere that Yellow's Pikachu is buffed compared to a wild gen 1 Pikachu to make up for the fact you can't evolve him. Idk by how much.
Hot take: Make Pikachu's base stat total equal to or rival Raichu's but with different distribution. Give Pikachu better Special and Speed but its HP, Attack and Defense are all lower. That way you have a reason to use it over Raichu while also not completely outclassing it. It kind of makes sense with how Ash initially beat Surge's Raichu with his Pikachu by out-maneuvering it. I don't think Pikachu in Yellow got buffed beyond getting Thunderbolt by level up (the only Pokemon in Gen 1 that got that treatment as every other Electric type had to be taught it by TM) honestly.
@@ShiningJudgment666yellow Pikachu got buffed about as much as a normal Pikachu with light ball would be.
@@Chucklin_in the original Yellow, the starter Pikachu's base stats were not buffed. That rumor may have come about because of Red's Pikachu, or the fact that if you trade a yellow starter Pikachu to Gen 2, it's holding a light ball.
The only buff yellow Pikachu got was a better moveset and you faced more flying and water types in the original. You also faced more ground types so it's not much of a buff.
Since the starters are already gifts, you should make them wild encounters in the area so that it makes sense where you get them and makes the world feel like, "Yes, you can find Pokemon everywhere" not just one time limited. It's part of the reason I like Pokemon Go so much 😊
A static battle like a legendary would be cool
A static battle. Or maybe a trade for them? They could make it where they appear as rare pokemon in their retrospective spots, with you also having a choice to get only one them early as a gift pokemon on the SS ann or whatever.
Thank you for all the work you and your team does. Maybe adding more lore would be good?
I really appreciate the work you put into all this dude
I think adding other anime elements specifically buffing Pikachu might be interesting. For example, the anime version of agility not only increases speed, but increases evasion too. If this could be coded somehow into the game that would be hilarious but also realistic to the anime. Or just for the Brock fight alone, Onix can be hit by thundershock as a reference to the anime fight where the sprinklers goes off and the water doused Onix. Much like Soak does in later generations, changing the Pokemon's type to water.
Also don't forget that famous quote from Brock.
"Both of Ash's pokemon are water type, and are totally weak against fire type!"
lmao Pikachu having natural +1 evasion at the beginning of every battle would be funny as a way to buff it.
The third games (now finding out yellow is 4, 5 including green too I guess) are all my favorite. Hyped to see what you do to these. Buffing Pikachu is huge. Make Giovanni a harsh battler in each encounter would be awesome. Show why he really is Boss Rocket.
5? I think Yellow's either 4th or 6th depending on if you count international RB
I'd like to see bug and ghost be viable options for a playthrough. There is a lot o QoL changes you did for crystal legacy and I'm excited to see yellow and emerald get the same treatment!
Not sure if you’re paying attention to the Discord but discussion surrounding ideas as well as people testing to see what’s possible (mainly me 😂) in Yellow is underway. But yeah, a lot of it is learnsets and moves in general.
I’m so glad you did yellow first!! The games a shattered mess, and needs love, also Idc what’s changed as long as Mew is under the truck using strength after getting the other 150
I just decided to play Red and Crystal again, and went to look for some videos and stumbled in your pokemon Crystal Legacy video. You did an amazing work, can't wait to play Legacy Yellow and take your time with Emerald, I'm sure they will come out great versions
11:48 quality of life suggestions if your interested. Just started playing yellow for the first time a month ago.
Notifications on if you’ve caught a wild Pokémon (like crystal)
Clicking on trees prompts you to use cut
Pressing select to use the bike.
And possibly extending the number of items you can carry in the pack? I’m having issues with my pack constantly being too full.
Really love your work and watching your videos!
I'd really like to see updated back sprites for this version. Charmeleon for example always looked super odd even as a kid, and it'd be cool to see it as something more than a vaguely dinosaur shaped orange blob
They are definitely better in yellow, but I agree that they could maybe use some work
I’d love to see Lickitung get a chance to shine as an early-game boss! It’s statted similarly to Onix and may have been conceptualized as an ace for a cut first gym. Obviously implementing new gyms is outside of this project’s scope, but it’d be fun to get to challenge Lickitung at a point in the game where it’s actually a decent challenge!
wasn't there an episode of the pokemon anime where Ash fights against a gym leader not in the games? Who uses an overleveled sandshrew and stuff? And Yellow is supposed to be the anime version of gen1. I wouldn't say it's entirely impossible~
Yeah, I mean, even in base gen 1 we can fight a former extra gym in the fighting dojo so other failed gyms that give non badge rewards like TMs would be cool.
Excited for this! The one thing id note is that I think almost everyone who is interested in this game would also be wanting a more challenging experience than normal games. Not quite drayano level but I certainly think that a lot of people "hardcore" enough to download roms are also looking for a some kind of challenge and added layer of depth.
I didn't expect you to craft a Legacy version of Yellow! I thought Crystal was the only one in mind.
I like your idea to keep the quirks, and you already mentioned the main things I'd like to see (like Pikachu being capable of learning both Fly and Surf!).
I look forward to the changes!
I would love to see the implementation of raichu be a one time boss encounter like a legendary. Maybe in Viridian forest After the 8th gym it could just be there
That’s fun
Honestly I don't know what exactly would I even want from Yellow Legacy. I guess I what I really want to see, and that goes for all the Legacy trilogy games in some way, is that we could actually transfer our pokémon from gen to gen through each legacy game. So if I start Yellow Legacy I could transfer my pokémon to Crystal Legacy later and eventually (I think another youtuber managed to do that iirc) transfer them to Emerald Legacy in the future. That would be really cool and create the a feeling of continuity between the projects and, you know, passing on our ~Legacy~ with each game.
I know a lot of rom hacks are compatible with trading with the original games already. I'm not 100% sure, but they may already be able to trade with each other as is, so your request could already have been done.
@@AlienldrIt’s hard to be sure when Crystal Legacy’s 1.2 required a new game because of all the changes, never played CL outside of emulation but that’s something to be out on the look for in case someone plays on repro cartridges.
you should add an NPC playing Crystal Legacy and talking about how great it is
Love that you want to preserve things like the speed/crit interaction.
The main thing I want to see in Yellow Legacy is a fix for the ghost type (aka Gengar) to make them more viable against psychic types considering they were supposed to be a counter to them. Outside of that I think fixing movesets for pokemon in general is the biggest problem.
Also I don't know if this would be a good change or not but being to use HMs with teaching pokemon like they were just an item. Surf is pretty much the only HM you want to teach unless required. Strength is above average but everything else is meh
Don't forget fly lol a lot of flying Pokémon in general have bad flying stab so your force to use fly for the base power unless they get Drill peck
@@kevin-cy3cfright. If you didn't have Drill Peck, then Fly was the only other option other than Peck. Wing Attack was weaker than Peck too, and learned at a high level by the pidgey line too.
Learnsets are the biggest and most obvious change that's needed in Yellow. But I also feel that the Team Rocket fights need some help. Without the dark type in Gen 1 all the fights feel even more similar to one another than they did in gen 2. I think later fights could include some of the more menacing pokemon like Scyther and Dodrio
I love these videos! I haven't played the Crystal version (I have no idea how to access rom hacks), but these videos are so pleasing!
I would love to see more/better wild pokemon earlier on/in the safari zone. very excited for this new project!!
All the ideas you put out are great so far, and I’m definitely thinking of adding the prof oak fight if you can. That would go hard. Maybe gym leader rematches beforehand too to give you some more to do before the oak fight
The normal type in gen 1 is very strong, the most reliable way to counter that at the moment is to use a rock type. So i think that working on the fighting type would be a good idea as they are famously really bad in this generation.
low kick / mega punch / kick / strenght could be fighting
@@emkalinaKarate Chop at least must be fighting. It's a crime that it's not this gen.
Man, you're gonna make me replay all these games, thank you!
Great content! Your legacy edition of crystal got me back into Pokémon, I would love a physical copy!! I could see it now playing on my gameboy!
I don't know how possible this would be but one thing I'd love to see in yellow more encounters with Jesse and James even if they just randomly show up on a route ahead of you
Alakazam has always been a favorite of mine- and there's something so awesome about facing Sabrina with an Alakazam. All the leaders getting a boost would be awesome, but that always felt like a good place for a kind of jump in difficulty to me.
i think sabrina should have a lvl 100 kadabra for your first fight with her, so that you'll lose and be sent to her dollhouse. that would be similar to the map of saffron, but without anybody. you could enter the houses, but nobody would be there either, no items, no pokemon. the song would be the same as lavender town, just for the sake of it. some buildings like the sylph co and the gyms would be locked. the outside parts of the city would also be locked. you would have to find her father somehow and get the hell out of it.
Really loving crystal legacy brother. Really happy to hear there is more on the horizon. Take your time and do it right, best advice I can give.
This sounds pie in the sky, but I’d love for a way to access the scrapped final Oak fight legitimately to give Yellow the postgame climax that Crystal has with the Red fight
I'm interested to see if there's consideration in adding any influence from the Anime. Yellow is already taking influence from the Anime, especially with Pikachu, so nods here and there might be a good match, like giving Misty a Psyduck or adding a Trade that lets you trade a Butterfree for a Raticate, silly little nods like that
The trade needs to be on the SS Anne. Should also add the more iconic trainers from the anime as well.
Interested to see what you'll do with the Pokemon Mansion. Was always disappointed those journals about Mew and Mewtwo never paid off so would like to see that lead to a Mew encounter.
I would like to see a Mew event where you can catch Mew at Cinnabar Mansion.
I’d definitely love to see more love for the bug type Pokémon. Given how Butterfree was a big part of the early anime I think it’s a severely underrated type especially in the early games.
Not sure how possible this would be but would love to see Brock and Misty pop up from time to time to comment on your progress and wish you luck before certain events. That would be pretty cool given their role in the anime.
I’m just about to start my nuzlocke of crystal legacy and looking forward to that.
crystal legacy was already great but im almost more hyped on the other two honestly
take your time, enjoyed the first one a lot
I’d love to see the ability to have the other starters follow you in Yellow Legacy!
I think some more story centric additions that really tie to the anime could be cool. Yellow is already half way there with the Rockets, Pikachu, but maybe rather than just being given Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, they become short quests to get!
What I've always wanted in Yellow was window pop-ups that had sprites of the anime characters doing scenes from episodes at appropriate points.
Battling Professor Oak.
Going to the Orange Islands as a new region.
Post-Game Mewtwo Strikes Back story events.
Togepi added to the pokedex after Mew, but in-game as a Pokemon unable to be traded. The Official Pokemon Handbook from 1999 had Togepi on the cover.
Mew's sprite to go back to the Red/Blue version, but add the extremely subtle light pink color to it.
That would be the perfect version of Yellow for me.
I loved how you did the level scaling for gyms and made options I would love to see that with the levels if you skipped around but that’s kind of hard with gen 1
Man I can't wait to see what you guys cook up for Yellow Legacy. I know you already said the Good Rod should come sooner than Fuscia but I would really like to see it as soon as possible really since the Old Rod is basically useless and I would love to be able to have an option to play with a Water Pokemon other than Squirtle early on.
Agree on that. Base Crystal did the cool thing, where the Old Rod got you Pokémon that weren't named Magikarp, and I'd love to get mons like Goldeen and even Psyduck earlier.
It would be more interesting to have the old rod catch a couple more pokemon and that each rod would only target certain pokemon from each zone so thta it makes sense to have all three
@@EleanorDrapeaux Oh absolutely, I was just trying to suggest the least amount of work solution given they want to pump this out in a few months. 100% agree tho.
Gyarados I'd argue is better than Blastoise but Squirtle is definitely more useful than Magikarp.
@@ShiningJudgment666 Personally I'd much rather have Blastoise over Gen 1 Gyarados. Gyarados only has 60 base special and water is Special in Gen 1. The only phsyical moves he has access to are all normal, and honestly Body Slam or Strength would be the best option for his main move. Gen 1 Gyarados makes me sad tbh.
Can't wait to see what you do with Yellow, Crystal Legacy is such a well thought out upgrade
I am so excited for all of this. Please take your time and we totally understand! I Hope you keep the mew glitch in.
I was just recently finishing pokemon silver when i saw your crystal video. really hyped for this since yellow was going to be my next pokemon game after leaf green. will go to diamond after to give yall time to finish this. and maybe even emerald
I'd love to see a dialogue or place hinting towards Gen 2/Hoenn added in. I'm sure the OGs would have done it if they had a plan.
Or maybe Will makes a cameo?
Love the videos and the work you all do! I think a nice addition is definitely a VS Seeker as grinding in Gen 1 can take a while on wild Pokémon
i love what you did with cristal, and i am soooo happy that you pick yellow next!
Super hyped to know that emerald is being worked on as well. Totally understandable that yellow will be finished much faster. The thing I find most interesting with crystal legacy is the improved teambuilding options. By the time I usually reach areas like the safari zone I usually already have my team mostly set, so I would love to see some of the rarer pokemon accessible earlier. Maybe through npc trades or special areas.
Yessss!! I'm so happy to see you chose Yellow first! This made my day! If it's possible, would you be able to add a female player character? I don't think that the lack of gender choice could be considered something "unique and charming" about Yellow; it's always been really upsetting to me, ever since I was a little girl.
Since it's a definitive version where you can get everything, I'm interested in what will happen to the 2nd fossil that isn't claimed at Mt Moon. I know the other fossil pokemon is pu on display in Fuchsia city.
but you still want it to b a meaningful decision, so they shouldn't just give it to you there, it's too close to when you get your first fossil processed.
maybe during post game you could get it from the nerd in fuchsia city, maybe you have to abttle him for it and he has a whole fossil team? or something
I think we should scatter the other two fossils in caves throughout Kanto. I've mostly replayed through Yellow with the fossils in mind, and I think that the Old Amber should go in Diglett Cave, while the Mt. Moon fossil goes in the Seafoam Islands. Here's my thinking:
Diglett Cave and Seafoam Islands are awful. They're both super linear and don't have anything going on with the exception of Articuno. No TM's, no Key Items, nothing. We put the Old Amber behind a Strength rock in Diglett cave, reminiscent of the rock puzzles in Emerald's Fiery Path, so you can't miss it. Immediately after, you go to revive your Mt. Moon fossil in Pewter Museum, the researchers tell you the Old Amber they found in Diglett Cave went to Lance, explaining the Aerodactyl on his team and cluing you in to where the Old Amber is.
They also tip you off to the Seafoam Islands. Kabuto and Omanyte are both aquatic. Mt. Moon is the primordial sea that dried up, while the Seafoam Islands reflects their past habitat, while being the deepest cave in Kanto at 5 floors. This way, you get your first fossil early, while you get the other two at the point in the original games when you first gain access to Cinnabar.
I love the concept with the Legacy series and I think you and your team did a great job with Crystal Legacy! For me, and I know you addressed this in the video already but if you changed nothing else about Yellow, it would be to greatly diversify the encounters available throughout the game. I've played through the gen 1 games many times but I always feel like I end up using the same handful of Pokemon because so many are locked away into the later parts of the game. A super simple change would be to give us the super rod earlier. Anyway that's just my two cents, keep up the great work!
Yellow Legacy! So hyped for it. I love that you're opening up the selection. It will lead to more diversity. Fantastic work Pat ❤
Not really sure if I'd add anything, but I would like to re-visit the S.S. Anne, even without new content. As a kid I'd play pokemon games pretending to be a person in the world; one day I'd be a Vigilante going up and down Cycling road, the next I'd be raising a caterpie to level 100 and calling it the king of bugs. I always felt sad I couldn't see where the S.S. Anne went, and 8 year old me wouldn't have needed that closure if I could've pretended to be a waiter, or a vip.
It probably went to Johto or Hoenn
I would love to see interesting in-game trades in Pokemon Yellow!
Some thing I might like to see is making Pikachu‘s voice less terrible because we already have a high-quality versions, although I know that it’s quite a technical challenge just to play them at all
Good luck with this project looks amazing
I would love to see more ghost moves in Yellow Legacy, and ghost moves hitting psychics.
