is a GBC-exclusive ROMhack of the original Red/Blue Pokémon games that aims to fill the game to the brim with as much modern Pokémon content as possible.

Features

SRR/BPB will include a wealth of backported and new features including but not limited to:

  • Every single Pokémon
  • Several beta Pokémon that never saw the light of day
  • A small amount of original Fakémon, such as a Dragon-type Eeveelution called Ikareon, and physical-type evos for all of the Eeveelutions which are being tentatively called Eeveelutionlutions
  • All of the main-series regions, including the Sevii Islands and Hisui. Notably, Z-A Lumiose will not be included, but it will be alluded to.
  • Currently what looks to be around 600 new moves, most of which are backported, but a few of which are original!
  • NO ABILITIES. There will be some "Quirks" that certain Pokémon have, however.
  • Breeding and gender
  • Speaking of gender, I plan for the player to have 64 different avatar options to choose from. They will be able to be switched out at any time using the player's closet, so I call them "gender"s for the heck of it
  • A lot of items are also being backported
  • A multi-part postgame
  • Arceus being a silly guy and Volo being a petty idiot
  • Biking indoors
  • Safari Zones for every region! (Cal Zone would be so proud... especially because he's present here)
  • Shinies, obviously
  • A ridiculous amount of QoL settings to suit your playstyle
  • Fun values (Sans Undertale might make an appearance if you have the right one)
  • Way too many 90s references
  • Dr. Ivan Mikhailovich Portantov, the Important Doctor from glorious Soviet Region which definitely still exists

Setting

This version of the Pokémon world is based heavily on the early anime and the April 1996 Red/Green tie-in book that you can read about here. As such, it is early 1996, and TMs are stored on 3.5-inch IBM diskettes because I said so. All of the other regions have conveniently had their own storylines take place at the same time that you were traveling through Kanto, so once you beat the Indigo League, you receive some sort of invitation to a big interregional event taking place in the Sevii Isles. More on that to come, but I have big plans for that. Long story short, you get to go to all the regions.

Progress Tracker

I likely wont be updating this progress tracker as frequently as I upload new sprites to my Tumblr and Deviant, but I'll try to keep it as up to date as I can.
