Pokemon Red... in COLOR!

[PolloDiablo]

Hey... look at the pretty colors!
With a little of ASM hack... these guys at Skeetendo did an amazing colorization of the old Game Boy classic.

The patch comes in two flavors...
- One with imported Pokemon and Trainer sprites from Gold/Silver
- One with the original sprites

IMPORTANT NOTE: A user reported damage to their gameboy color while using an older version of this hack.

Now I have a reason to play this game for the bazillion time

Very cool to see one of my favorite games in color

 

[PityOnU]

The original had colors! 4 of 'em!

Still, this is pretty neat.

 

[Rydian]

Oh, this is something I definitely need to download and store somewhere to play later.

 

[Ethevion]

That's awesome! Must play and get missingno in color

 

[TripleSMoon]

I seriously might grab one of those GBC smart cards to play this on my GBA SP. Any idea if it's compatible with game linking to original, unaltered Red/Blue/Yellow?

 

[reprep]

i might try to give it a go on my pokemon stadium via N64 transfer pak with my smart card. i will let you know if i do.

 

[Deleted-236924]

lol your source links to a rom download

 

[Drenn]

I'm the one who put this hack together... ya know.
Anyway something that bothers me is that a lot of people think that Red and Blue could only be played in 4 colors. But when played on a Super Gameboy they have colors just like Pokemon Yellow. Most emulators support this. But it was nowhere near gold/silver/crystal quality color.

Although I haven't tested it, I'm pretty sure they will link correctly.

Oohh Nice now all i need is a EZ Flash for my Micro to lay this

 

[BORTZ]

Looks like alot of the work was handled with the G/S/C engine. Cool, but ultimately pointless really. Its not like it was unplayable before.

 

[Gameboy MAX]

Sweet, loading this onto my Gameboy MAX! Can't wait to play!

 

[DaggerV]

I remember my first gameboy color too.

Drenn, could you please turn the patched games into a Patch? So that it is legal for us to keep linking to the source (our rules are against the distribution of copyrighted material).

Thanks!

It looks like the source was already changed to rhdn, which has the patch instead. But I updated skeetendo's post so you can link there if you want.

But then again, it still links to the disassembly of Pokemon Red. Make what you will of that.

 

[The Catboy]

I am quite interested, I'll test it out on my Dingoo later.

 

[Kazekai]

What about Blue? I like Blue more.

 

[Enchilada]

Finally someone did it, thank you.

 

[Hazard7]

I rather see Pokemon Yellow in colour better.

What's this? Split disassembly of Pokémon GRBY? Finally! I've been waiting for this…

Hooray for easier ROM editing…

Nice looking modification, but… It doesn't top the greatest Pokémon hack… CACTUS.IPS (aka "World Famous Talking Cactus"…
