Description
This project is a decompilation hack based on the Legacy series by SmithPlays Pokemon.
It is a game inspired by the style of Legacy with elements from both FireRed and LeafGreen, aimed at addressing several issues found in the original FRLG games. FRLG were among the first games many players experienced, and while they feature some beloved aspects, certain decisions, like the removal of cross-generation evolutions, were seen as flaws.
The Kanto region itself also carries over many issues from Gen 1 that persisted in the remakes. This project strives to maintain the essence of the original while improving the overall experience. The game follows the Legacy formula to a large extent, but includes some personal modifications, such as map changes (e.g., a redesigned Mt. Moon). While the project is approximately 80% based on Legacy, it incorporates adjustments to bring the experience closer to the ideal. The game was developed using the Decomp Project.
Features
- All Kanto and Johto Pokemon Available in both Versions
- The Main Game dex has 181 Pokemon, 151 old, 30 New Pokemon, 2/3 of which are Evos and Pre Evos, 1/3 are added johto pokemon to strengthen type diversity and johto connection
- (Some more may be gotten with secret means)
- Some Maps been changed to look a lot less empty, such as cinnabar island and Mt Moon
- Added Mt Moon Square and a floor under Rock Tunnel, both accessed with rock smash
Battle and Location Improvements:
- Improved Pokemon Locations, stats, movesets, and moves (Bug Type Cut, Improved Movesets, Higher Stats, Better Abilities for some) (Nidorans are back on route 22) (Lots of the encounters mirror Yellow Legacy)
- Many Battle Engine and Stat Changes from Emerald Legacy (Ported Directly from EL, but I made my own changes) (50% Boost to defense for hail for instance)
- Dark and Ghost Swapped Types
- Better Trainer Teams (Better Curve, better movesets, mons evolved, giovanni has a rhydon now) (Also includes cross gen evos) (Champion is capped at 65)
- Gift Pokemon are Higher Level
- Many Emerald and Yellow Legacy Features (Fishing Rod Placement, Getting the Fossils, Oak Battles, etc)
- Selectable Difficulty Modes from Legacy (Normal has classic pokemon rules, Hard has lvl caps, no items in battle with set mode, Hardcore has perma death)
- I mainly tried to keep the feel of each pokemon intact and just give improvements to make them just a viable choice and not a liablity. This also allows for better trainer team building
Sevii Islands and Postgame:
- Much more Postgame Content (Especially on The sevii islands)
- More Battles
- There’s kinda a Sevii League (A Bunch of boss trainrs to fight) that rewards you with the Aurora Ticket
- Gym leader rematches
- Roamers made much easier to get (Beating the elite four spawns the other roamers assuming you caught the current roamer, they don’t roar, they have good ivs, and a npc on Five Island shows you them to put them in the dex. Also this NPC has something)
- Better rewards and items given thoughout the game (Facade Onix Guy gives you a lucky egg now) (Selphy has a chance for master balls)
- VS Seeker Postgame Upgrade (Only takes 1/5 of the steps and gets 100% of all trainers in range)
- National Dex 60 Pokemon requirement removed
- Eggtutor after you beat a certain set of trainers
- A Certain set of trainers from Johto are available to battle
- Catch all 180 Pokemon in the dex, and meet up with oak
- Embark on a Treasure Hunt for Celebi
HMs:
- All Cut Trees and Rocks get removed permanently
- HMs are Replaceable
- Victory Road Boulders stay in place
- Rock Smash added over the Everstone aid with more rocks placed (Optional) Everstone is placed in rock tunnel (Ex: Rock on route 4 that you can break to reach mt moon from cerulean) (Rock Smash can be used after beating Surge)
- TMs got better placement (Hidden Power, Sludge Bomb, Facade are in the game, Locations got more tms like Seafoam has a ice beam tm, thunderbolt in power plant, flamethrower on mt ember)
- Some New Optional Areas Accessed by Rock Smash
- Removed Waterfall Needed use on Four Island (Is just a trophy type item, also dive added as a trophy type island in Safari Zone)
QOL:
- Faster Nurse Joy
- Bag Sorting
- EV and IV checkers on the 2nd floor of Pokecenters
- EXP Share Is in place of the running shoes (Running shoes is gotten at oaks lab at the start of the game)
- Repels Reuse

- Beating Misty and Blue also Opens up the dig house (Still Need to get SS Ticket)
- Beat up a guard after getting Vermillion’s City Badge to open the gates (Hes pretty overleveled)
