papierdragon / redstarbluestar

An upgrade to Pokémon Red/Blue. Ports graphics and features from the Space World 1997 Gold/Silver prototype.

Pokémon Red★ and Blue★

Latest release: November 1, 2020

This is a custom Pokémon game based on the Pokémon Red and Blue disassembly.

It started out as a graphics upgrade, replacing the Pokémon sprites with the ones from the Space World 1997 G/S prototypes. Then I ported more content, including overworld tile and sprite graphics, Pokémon genders, shiny Pokémon, and more. I also ended up making all 151 Pokémon available in one game. When the Space World 1999 demo ROMs also leaked, I ported a few graphics from them too. After the BLUEMONS.GB debug ROM leaked, I ported its debug menu with some edits.
