Sprite artist for the game here; im really glad you enjoyed this hack, and especially glad you liked the back-sprites me and the team made! I agree that Crystal is the better game overall, but i still had a ton of fun helping make this rom hack, and im glad you had fun playing it. Hope you'll be here for Emerald Legacy too!

[smithplayspokemon]

Thanks so much for playing and featuring the romhack again! As the king of gen 1, we're honoured bro!!

"When the hell else am I going to use a Grimer?"
Next solo run maybe? :P

Jrose: **names his player character “Ashette”**

Me: "Ashley was RIGHT THERE"

Fun facts you didn’t note :)

- the rival has more divergent teams with different pokemon based on which eevee he gets
- the gym leaders between surge and giovanni have higher and lower level teams depending on which order of the gyms you completed

[burtmacklin]

It's now realistic for the rival to have 40 types of Pokemon on the S.S. Anne!

In story Mew in the Mansion makes sense however Mew under truck would have been peak

My man really walked into Silph with the Team Rocket special, Ekans, Koffing, and Meowth.

One thing Jrose didn't mention if you guys aren't aware but you can buy all TMs in this game. Celadon on the 5th floor has a guy who sells the early to mid game TMs (water gun, thunder wave, etc). Cinnabar Pokemart has mostly the gym TMs and things like Dig. At the Pokemon League the mart sells the most of the high end stuff ice beam, thunderbolt, flamethrower (yes TM 04 has been changed to flamethrower). After you beat the league there is another guy next to the league mart stand and he sells the 120 power moves, earthquake and psychic as well as PP ups.

Also stone evos still learn their level up movesets so don't worry about missing out on any moves.

Fun fact: that custom sprite is based on Green from the original manga.

You didn’t notice how OP they made Caterpie. He learns CUT now.

The "while smith may know how to improve generation one, I know how to break it" is such a line
Like there was no reason for it to go so hard man

I'm happy you've been enjoying Smith's romhacks overall, and I can't wait to see what you'll be saying about Emerald Legacy when it's out. Been a huge fan of you for years, watching since your Ruby Feebas run!

I was literally just thinking "when is jrose making a yellow legacy video?"

[ElMoppo]

"Nobody is playing a game from the late 90's for aesthetics". Uhh, yes I am.

"When am I gonna next use a Grimer? Do I sense a Grimer video next release?

[ThatNinjaGuy]

You missed two battles, officer Jenny and Fuchsia city Nurse Joy

[starlightshadow]

they fixed the 1 in 256 glitch as well but its still in hard mode.

[ignacioperez]

I started following smithplayspokemon because of the first video about fixing a region. I'm happy to see his work is making people interested

I like that Yellow Legacy implemented more references to the anime while still being a solid tribute mod of the game. The things I would want to add would be more interesting anime touches like have the 8th Gym rematch be Jessie and James since Giovanni’s out of the picture, or how I would envision certain Pokémon to be improved such as having Hitmonchan be a bulky mixed attacker instead of just purely special. So great job to everyone working to give a great reimagining of Yellow.
