Pokemon Pure Red Wiki

**Welcome to the Pokemon Pure Red Wiki!**

A fan-made wiki for the GameBoy Color ROM hack, Pokemon Pure Red!

This is a purist’s enhancement of Pokémon Red/Blue/Green. The goal is to enhance the original games for excellent replayability without bringing in mechanics, moves, sprites, visuals, type matchups, or Pokémon that were introduced in later games. Version 2.0 is based on the disassembly and has hundreds of new fixes/optional features!

* It makes the bulk of the 151 original Pokémon all more obtainable and usable in the early game, with better movesets and more balanced stats.
* Many moves in the game were rebalanced or modified. When the author says “rebalanced”, it means “the useless things were made more useful!”
* There are more bug, poison, and ghost type moves available. The focus is on getting a useful set of moves available for every single Pokémon in the game.
* Front sprites were updated to be just about the best set of sprites from Red/Green/Blue/Spaceworld 1997 overall.
* All 151 Pokémon are obtainable in all versions of this hack.
* HMs are deletable anytime you like and new code to prevent softlocks by deleting them was introduced.
* Some pokemon have additional types, for example, Ninetales is now FIRE/GHOST instead of FIRE. If you don’t like specific type changes, you can change any specific pokemon or all of them back to normal type-wise at an NPC in indigo plateau route 23.
* Many small quality-of-life tweaks and bugfixes were made.
* Game bugs that can be used to your own advantage (like the leech seed/toxic bug, the hyper beam no recharge on faint bug, etc.) are unchanged, because they are quirks of the battle engine that you can use as your own tool.
* Mew is under the truck as expected!
* Missingno and the item duplication glitch are intact - but won’t corrupt your save anymore!
* An entirely new mode for the Pokédex called the MOVEDEX was added. It shows data about moves you have seen in detail. You unlock the MOVEDEX in viridian city.

Among other improvements to the original Pokémon Red game! Check the website Romhacking.net for the full patch notes and how to download the game! Although there are 3 versions of this hack for Red, Blue, and Green, they only differ in title screen/intro visuals. Whatever color you like best is the one you should use!

If you want an exhaustive list of features, you can see one on this github site. For best results, download the Pokémon Fire Red GBA Rom for MyBoy (Android app) and use the website Rom Patcher JS to apply the Pure Red patch to the game.
