Description

The Pokémon Solus RGB romhack makes the following four major changes to the vanilla Gen 1 games.

1. All 151 Pokémon are obtainable through normal means. Specifically, “normal means” is one of the following:

   • Caught in the wild
   • Evolved into via an in-game method
   • Found in a Poké Ball in the overworld
   • Battled (and caught) via interacting with its sprite in the overworld
   • Gifted to the player
   • Purchased
   • Restored from a fossil

2. HMs can be taught to party Pokémon without using up one of their move slots

   • Each Pokémon has a new Field Move slot, which is separate from its regular move slots
   • In addition to HMs, the TMs Teleport, Dig, and Softboiled can be taught in Field Move slots

3. Some new content is added, and some visual content is changed

   • Prof. Oak can be battled as a post-game opponent
   • There is a new NPC, the Trader, who can trade your Pokémon back to you in order to evolve them
   • 48×48 back sprites are implemented
   • Front sprites are changed, and now use a mix of Red/Green (JPN), Red/Blue, and Yellow sprites

4. Some bugs/oversights are fixed

   • Check here for a list of bugfixes
