Shin Pokémon Red and Blue

Version 1.23

This is a rom hack of pokemon red & blue based on the Pret team's disassembly.
It's a mostly-vanilla hack that focuses on fixing game engine bugs and oversights from the original game.
Additionally, trainer AI routines are improved and multiple quality-of-life improvements have been added.
Think of it as what the Nintendo Virtual Console re-release of red & blue might have been (plus a few extra goodies).

Read the "Guide to New Player Functions" for instructions on all the new stuff the player can do.

Don't like the non-vanilla changes? Prefer only the bugfixes and AI improvements? Want a codebase from which to launch your own rom hack? Then the Lite branch is what you want. Head on over and start compiling.

A bash script randomizer, "randoshinred", is now in beta test.

Download the IPS patch file of the version you want and apply it to its respective USA rom. The "_origback" ips patches are alternatives for red & blue that keep the original back sprites. Always apply patches to a fresh USA ROM or else strange glitches will occur.

Includes Pokemon Green and Japanese Red!

The compiler primarily builds the graphics and cerulean cave layout back to the original japanese release.
Pokedex entries adapt the original Green version text that was translated in Fire Red.
Pokedex uses metric units.
Apply the Green ips patch to a USA Blue rom. Apply the Red-JP ips patch to a USA Red rom.

Now Includes Japanese Blue!

Primarily builds the lists for encounters, trades, and prizes that were in the never-localized japanese release.
Pokedex uses metric units.
Apply the ips patch to a USA Blue rom.

Updating Your Save File
New patches might crash or have issues upon loading a save from a previous patch or an unpatched game.
To prevent this from happening, prepare your save file in the following way:
--> Deactivate all special options (such as 60fps mode and NPC toggles).
--> Save in the outdoor Pallet Town map.
You might be blocked by invisible walls upon loading the game.
To fix this, you must use the Softlock Warp detailed below to teleport back to Pallet Town.

#Summary

Lite features for a cleaned-up purist experience

A huge number of bugs, glitches, oversights, and text errors of all sorts have been fixed. There are too many to enumerate in a simple summary, and some of them are very obscure or previously undiscovered.

Includes english builds of Green and Red-JP versions. It swaps the graphics, Cerulean Cave layout, and a few lines of text to replicate the original japanese releases. The original release pokedex entries have been adapted from the Fire Red translations. It also has all the pokedex data in metric.

Includes an english build of Blue-JP version. It swaps prizes, trades, wild encounter data, and some text to replicate the original japanese release. It also has all the pokedex data in metric.

Engine features from USA Yellow version have been backported. Super Gameboy palettes get converted to display on the Gameboy Color. No more monochrome! Attack animations are colored according to type during Gameboy Color play. The audio engine is backported for stereo sound support.

New options that can be toggled!

Hit SELECT on the options screen to cycle through the audio output types.
Playing in GBC mode on a backlit LCD screen? Press SELECT at the copyright screen to activate color correction.
Experimental 60FPS Mode: Place the cursor over CANCEL in the options screen and toggle by pressing left or right.
Zero-Delay Text: Text with zero frame delay can be toggled in the options menu; press LEFT with the cursor on FAST.

Trainer AI has been improved and greatly expanded. Some trainers will even try to switch pokemon intelligently.

You get notified when a box is filled (either via catching or depositing a pokemon).

Switching out of a trapping move wastes the trapper's turn. This prevents unbeatable AI scenarios as well as a PP underflow glitch.

Rage is limited to 2-3 turns but attack boosts are kept. This is primarily to prevent infinite battle loops.

Sleep does not prevent choosing a move, and the move is used upon waking up. To maintain sleep move accuracy, sleep starts with a counter of at least 2. And Rest now sets the sleep counter to 3.

Additional Master features that go beyond engine modifications and fixes

All 151 pkmn are available in one version (rarities may vary per version).

You can play as a boy or a girl.

There's an EXP bar in battle.

You can hunt for shiny pokemon, and they are valid with Gen 2 games.

No more grinding wild pokemon. Nearly all trainers can be rematched just by talking to them once or twice.

The "SET" battle style gives increased difficulty by making the stats of trainer pokemon more on your level. It also doubles the effect of the X-stat items that AI trainers are fond of. And it disallows the use of Revive items in battle. Finally, it makes catching a wild Mewtwo more challenging. As compensation, SET mode gives an additional 1.5x EXP boost in trainer battles.

You can choose RUN while holding SELECT in trainer battles to forfeit the match and black yourself out.

One of the aides in Oak's lab toggles scaling of trainer rosters to your level (evolving them if applicable).

As an alternative to trainer scaling, there is now an obedience level-cap that can be toggled in the options menu. With the cursor in the BATTLE STYLE section, press A to toggle it on and off. While active, the current maximum obedience level will display in the options menu. All pokemon, not just trades, will start to disobey if over the displayed level cap.

The other aide in Oak's lab toggles a pokeball-caught symbol in battle after obtaining the pokedex. To help with Gen 2 interaction, this also applies a gender symbol to species that can be male or female.

Another aide npc is in the Viridian pokemon center. He will toggle on/off randomization of non-special trainers.

An aide is in the Celadon Diner. He will toggle on/off a catch-up EXP boost function for under-leveled pokemon.

Item, Sleep, and Freeze clauses can each be toggled by the Clause Brothers in Viridian City.

The bag now supports an additional item list for an extra 20 slots of space! Press START on the bag menu to hot-swap the item list that populates the active bag. The game's systems will generally detect items in the non-active bag space. Unique systems, such as Pokemon Stadium, will only recognize the active bag's item list.

Each pokemon on your team has a field move slot. These slots can temporarily hold a HM move for overworld-use only. No longer do you have to sacrifice one of your four moves for a HM move.

An experimental New Game+ has been added. It can be enabled if you have an uncorrupt save file wherein the Elite 4 have been beaten. Press and hold SELECT while choosing New Game; a jingle confirms activation.

Lots of quick-key features.

Quick 'Owned' Check - Place the cursor over FIGHT and press Select to play the enemy 'mon cry if it's already owned.
Softlock Warp - Instantly teleport back to your mom's house if you get stuck.
Running Shoes - Hold B to double your speed when walking, surfing, and biking. Includes proper animation speed-up!
Quick HM Use - Press SELECT to use HMs based on proper context.
Quick Bike/Rod - Press SELECT while holding A to automatically get on/off your bike or use the best rod in your inventory.
View Stat EXP - Hold SELECT and enter the status screen to print a 'mons stat exp.
View DVs - Hold START and enter the status screen to print a 'mons DVs.
View Shiny Palette - When playing in color, hold SELECT when choosing a 'dex entry to load the shiny palette.

New NPCs!

The move relearner and deleter is in Saffron City.
An NPC in the Celadon Hotel will pay COINS for showing him pokemon as an alternative to slots.
After the Elite-4, a new vendor opens up in Celadon allowing the purchase of normally unique items.
After the Elite-4, there is an NPC in the east-west underground path that generates random trainer battles.
After the Elite-4, the game corner chief will buy pokemon from the player.
There's a tournament being held in the SS Anne's kitchen after the Elite-4 are beaten. Yes, the ship returns!
Added some special post-game trainer battles as fun little easter eggs. Can you find and defeat all five?

Changes to fishing!

The Good Rod has an expanded 'mon list and level range.
Level range of the super rod has been increased.
The Old Rod now randomly acts as a Good rod 50% of the time.
The Old Rod is a sellable non-key item with the value of a nugget.
The Route 12 Fishing Guru can be visited upon first reaching Lavender Town.
The locations of the Good and Super Rod have been swapped.

Other minor changes to lessen annoyance.

Low HP alarm only plays three times then turns itself off.
TMs and HMs now have their attacks (albeit abbreviated) appended to the item names.
All TMs can be repurchased as they are strategically scattered across all the Kanto pokemarts.
The safari zone mechanics run off level instead of speed and safari balls have a boosted catch rate.
Slot machines are a little more lucky, so now you can actually win big.
CUT is not needed to get to Lt. Surge and Erika (a blocking event replaces the Vermilion shrub).
Yellow version learnsets have been integrated and stone evolutions gain back some level-up moves.
Hitting with a trapping move reduces its user's speed by 25% until recalculated via some other effect.
Trapping moves play a 'poof' animation on the move's final turn in order to inform the player.

Cheats and Secrets!

A pokemon with Pay Day in your top slot will tip you off to a lucky slot machine and when it's in a special payout mode.
New item, M.GENE, re-randomizes a pkmn's DVs to values of 9,8,8,8 or more.
Defeat all five post-game special trainers to reactivate the legendary pokemon.
To more easily find shiny pokemon, put a level-100 Chansey at the top of your roster. Use a repel if you wish!
Do you dare to activate Missingno at the Cinnabar shore? Only if you got your 'dex diploma.
Winning the SS Anne's tournament with a pikachu in your party makes that pikachu eligible for the SURF HM.

#Compatibility Notes

Compatible with original Gameboy hardware (DMG, Super, Pocket, Color, Advance, SP)
Potentially compatible with Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 (using original Nintendo hardware)
Might be possible to use a save from vanilla USA red/blue with this rom hack
- Save outside in Pallet Town before transferring over

- Enemy ai ignores super-effectiveness for moves that do static amounts of damage
- Fixed skipping move-learn on level-up glitch.
  - when gaining multiple levels at a time, each in-between level is incrementally checked for moves learned

- Blaine will not use a healing item at full HP
- The BIRD type has been reinstated and renamed to TYPELESS. It acts as a universally neutral type (particularly for Struggle)
- AI trainers have priority on switching or using an item
- AI type effectiveness function now takes type 1 and 2 into account together
  - Before AI would only look at the type it encountered first in a list search
  - AI will now treat a move as neutral if type 1 makes it supereffective but type 2 makes it not effective
- Stat changes from burn and paralyze are applied when the ai sends out a pkmn with those conditions
- AI routine #2 (prioritize buffing or use a status move) now activates on the 1st turn after sendout instead of the 2nd

Move fixes
- Transform-related fixes:
  - Move slots cannot be rearranged when transformed (prevents acquiring glitch moves)
  - Transform will no longer copy the opponent's Transform move. It's swapped-out for Struggle.
  - Enemy DVs can no longer be manipulated by having it use transform multiple times
  - Fixed a conflict where transforming while disabled can leave the new moves disabled

- Fixed Psywave underflow/overflow with levels of 0, 1, and above 170
- Substitute-related fixes:
  - all hp drain moves (including dream eater and leech seed) miss against substitute

- light screen and reflect now have a cap of 999
- Haze removing sleep/freeze will not prevent a multi-turn move from getting stuck (also fixes the sleep-trap glitch)
  - Fixed by allowing sleeping/frozen pkmn to use a move after haze restores them
  - on the plus size, haze now restores both opponent and user's status conditions as was intended in gen 1
- Haze resets the enemy and player toxic counter
- Rest now does the following:
  - clears the toxic bit and toxic counter
  - undoes the stat changes of burn and paralysis
- fixed-damage move fixes (seismic toss, dragon rage, etc):
  - can no longer critically hit
  - obey type immunities
  - ignore effectiveness text & sfx
  - use 2 bytes for damage instead of 1
- Struggle is now TYPELESS so that it can always neutrally damage something
- Metronome & mirror move will not increment PP if the user is transformed
  - This prevents adding PP to hidden dummy moves that prevent a pkmn from going into Struggle
  - This also prevents Disable from freezing the game by targeting a dummy move
- Mirror Move is checked against partial trapping moves in a link battle to prevent desync
- Bide's accumulated damage bytes are now both set to zero on an enemy faint in order to prevent desync
- Jump Kick moves now do the correct recoil damage on a miss

- Trapping move PP can no longer underflow due to an opponent switching pkmn
- Raging and Thrashing no longer suffers from accuracy degradation
- Breaking a substitute does not nullify explosion/self-destruct, hyper beam recharge, or recoil damage
- Hyper beam must recharge if it knocks out the opposing pkmn
- Bugfixes involving Counter:
  - works against BIRD type, which is now typeless and assigned only to STRUGGLE
  - To prevent desync, pressing B to get out of the move selection menu zeros-out the ram location for selected move & move power
  - last damage dealt is zeroed in these cases (also fixes some issues with Bide):
    - it's the start of the round without a trapping move active (fixes most issues since Counter always goes second)
    - player/enemy pkmn is fully paralyzed or after hurting itself in confusion
  - Crash damage from jump kicks and pkmn hurting itself cannot be Countered
- To prevent infinite loops, Rage ends after 2 to 3 turns (attack boosts are kept)
- Non-link enemy mons now have PP, so always run checks for 0 PP during the disable effect
- Fixed an issue with Disable's counter on slower 'mons
Graphical Fixes

  - Fixes some audio hiccups with Yellow's color palettes on the GBC
  - Press SELECT on the option menu to change the audio mixing option
- Fuschia gym plays the correct sfx when getting the TM from Koga
- Vermilion gym plays the correct sfx when getting the TM from Surge
- Restored sfx for getting a badge
  - A sfx is supposed to play when getting a badge, but not for all gym leaders and the sfx used is inconsistent
  - Looks like the idea was dropped in development due to issues with having separate audio banks
  - However, there is a unique unused sfx in the battle audio bank that signifies getting some kind of important item
  - This is likely what was going to be used for getting a badge at some point, and it has been restored

Adjustments to moves

Adjustment to stat mods, conditions, and items
- Sleep does not prevent choosing a move
- Waking up from sleep does not waste the turn and the chosen move is used
  - The sleep counter's minimum value is increased by +1 to maintain accuracy of sleep moves
- Badge stat-ups are now only applied in wild pokemon battles to give parity to enemy trainers (only in "SET" style)
- The effect of X Accuracy is no longer applied to one-hit K.O. moves (it originally made them auto-hit)
- The limiter on vitamins is raised to a max of 62720 stat exp after the elite 4 have been beaten
- Pkmn added to the player's party (either as a gift or in-game trade) have at the least DVs of 9,8,8,8
- Upped the power of safari balls
- Escaping in the safari zone is now based on level instead of speed
- In "SET" style, X-stat items have double the effect
Trainer ai routine #1 (recognition of stats, hp, and conditions) has been modified
- using a move with a dream eater effect is heavily discouraged against non-sleeping opponents
- using a move with a dream eater effect is slightly encouraged against a sleeping opponent
- using a zero-power confusion effect move is heavily discouraged against confused opponents
- moves that would miss against an active substitute are heavily discouraged
- stat buff/debuffs are heavily discouraged if it would have no effect due to hitting the buff/debuff stage limit
- heavily discourage double-using lightscreen, reflect, mist, substitute, focus energy, and leech seed
- leech seed won't be used against grass pkmn
- do not use moves that would be blocked by an active mist effect
- rules for using healing moves:
  - heavily discourage healing if at max hp
  - slightly encourage healing if below 1/3 hp
  - slightly discourage healing if above 1/2 hp
- heavily discourage using Counter against a non-applicable move
- heavily discourage roar, teleport, & whirlwind
- heavily discourage disable against a pkmn already disabled
- Substitute discouraged if less that 1/4 hp remains
- Will discourage using Haze if unstatus'd or has net-neutral or better stat mods
- Discourages explosion moves in proportion to HP remaining
- Will heavily discourage boosting defense against special, OHKO, or static-damaging attacks
- AI layer changes that affect most 0-power moves (with only a few exceptions like heal effects)
  - now has a hard stop on using 0-power moves on consecutive turns with a few effect exceptions
  - heavily discourages 0-power moves if below 1/3 hp
- Discourage exploding effects if faster than a player in fly/dig state
- Randomly discourage usage of 2-turn moves when confused/paralyzed
- 50% chance that the AI is blind to a player switching or using an item
Trainer ai routine #3 (choosing effective moves) has been modified
- It now heavily discourages moves that would have no effect due to type immunity
- OHKO moves are heavily discouraged if the ai pkmn is slower than the player pkmn (they would never hit)
- Static damage moves are randomly preferenced 25% of the time to spice things up
- Thunder Wave is not used against immune types
- Poisoning moves discouraged against poison types
- Added some strategy to handle when the player uses fly/dig
- Slightly preference regular effectiveness moves if STAB exists (25% chance per move)
Trainer ai routine #4 is no longer unused. It now does rudimentary trainer switching.
- 25% chance to switch if active pkmn is below 1/3 HP and player also outspeeds AI
- chance to switch based on power of incoming supereffective move
- 12.5% chance to switch if a move is disabled
- 12.5% chance to switch if afflicted with leech seed
- 34% chance to switch if afflicted with toxic poison
- 25% chance to switch if opponent is using a trapping move
- 25% chance to switch if active pkmn is confused
- on the lowest stat mod, 12.5% chance to switch per lowered stage
- There is a chance for the AI to switch a sleeping pokemon based on the sleep counter -chance is 0% if counter <= 3 -chance is 12.5% if counter > 3
- Additionally, every pokemon in the enemy roster is scored
  - based on various criteria to determine which mon gets sent out
  - score might dictate that the current mon is the best choice and abort switching
  - an enemy mon is flagged when sent out; non-volatile (except sleeping) status or low hp cannot initiate switching
  - enemy mon that is recalled back due to a super effective move is flagged; it is demerited from being switched-in
  - switch flags are all cleared when player sends out a new mon since the situation is now different
- AI scoring for switching puts a heavier penalty on potentially switching in a bad type matchup
- AI scoring imposes a very heavy penalty for potentially switching in pokemon with less than 1/4 HP
- AI switch scoring now penalizes bad match-ups between player and enemy 'mon types
Trainer ai routine #3 added to the following trainer classes
- jr trainer M/F, engineer, rocker, juggler, tamer, birdkeeper, black belt, scientist, gentleman
- bruno, brock, surge, blaine, sabrina, agatha, rival phase 1, chief
Trainer ai routine #4 added to the following trainer classes -jr trainer M/F, pokemaniac, hiker, cueball, psychic, tamer, black belt, rocket, cooltrainer M/F, gentleman, channeler -all rival phases, all gym leaders, elite-4, prof.oak, chief
Trainer stat DVs are now randomly generated to a degree (only in "SET" style)
- Attack DV is between 9 and 15 and always odd-numbered
- Defense, special, and speed DVs are between 8 and 15
- HP DV is a minimum of 8 since attack DV is always odd-numbered
Trainer AI battles now track which enemy pkmn have already been sent out, so allows for new functionality:
- Trainer pkmn DVs are remembered between switching, and new ones won't be generated on every send-out
- Trainer pkmn now have stat experience assigned to them that is scaled to their level (only in "SET" style)
- These are real DVs and statEXP values that utilize the existing enemy party_struct which is normally unused by trainer AI
Special trainers, e4, and gym leaders are slightly adjusted in their item use
Agatha & cooltrainers will not randomly switch since they now have ai routine 4
Flags for dividing exp among active pokemon are now only reset after fainting an enemy pkmn
- Originally these get reset every time the opponent send out a pkmn (even swithing)
- Was never really noticed since most trainers never switch nor would have the opportunity
- Changed based on user feedback since many trainers now try to switch
Adjustments to learnsets and base stats
- Slight additions to explodo-mon movesets to play nicer with AI at higer levels
- Pokemon have gained their TMs and Moves from yellow

- Clefable and Wigglytuff get some moves back via level-up
- Diglett & Dugtrio can learn cut like in yellow version
Engine changes just for developers
- The trainer move engine has been backported from Yellow version; trainer movesets can now be fully customized
- Improved exp calculation for developers who want a level cap between 101 and 255
  - EXP calculation routine now does math in 4 bytes instead of 3 bytes
  - Exp calculation result is still capped to 3 bytes regardless of level cap to prevent overflow
  - The byte cap on the exp result means that certain growth rates may have a level cap
  - For example, the "slow" growth rate is theorized to cap at level 237
- Trainer battle prize money uses 3 bytes instead of 2, lifting the 9999 cap on winnings
- Adjusted daycare to allow exp values over $500000
- Allow up to 8 digits when displaying experience on the status screen
- Pokemon can now learn more than 1 more per level

Gym leaders and elite 4 have their rosters, levels, & movesets slightly tweaked for gradual difficulty
Blaine has a touched-up battle sprite so he doesn't look like an alien
- Snagged this off reddit, but original artist unknown (let me know if this is yours)
The elite 4 now use the gym battle music rather than the standard trainer music
The juggler rosters, especially in fuchsia gym, have been slightly altered for flavor
Just for fun, the last juggler in the fuchsia gym is replaced with a cameo of Janine
- Though at this point she's still just a cooltrainer and doesn't have a unique battle sprite
The L: block doesn't disappear when level hits three digits
Greatly increased the speed and performance of spin tiles
Amber and fossils are now non-key items
Low HP alarm only plays three times then turns itself off

Red & Blue versions use the back sprites from spaceworld 97 so as to be cohesive with the front sprites

#Pre-E4 NPCs

- Will replace their roster 'mons with random non-evolved 'mons (legendaries are excluded)
- The new mons will be swapped with their evolved forms if at a high enough level
- This feature was added with the intent of spicing-up subsequent Gen-1 playthroughs
New NPC in celadon hotel will reward coins for showing him requested pkmn
Move deleter/relearner added to the saffron house below COPYCAT's house
- Code comes from Mateo's Red++ hack. It's simply the best gen-1 implementation and I cannot come up with something better.
- Talk to the little girl to delete moves.

- I have expanded Mateo's code so that it also detects default level-0 moves from the baseStats header files.
Catch-Up EXP Booster
- Talk to the aide in the Celadon Diner to toggle this feature.
