Amazing! God bless ya and Jesus loves ya!

[@animevivaciousstudios3015]

It looks incredible and the fact that I love the most is that it is an enhancement hack of the original.

[@FreyOdyssey]

You're the GOAT for including the TRADER GUY! Love the concept of a tradeback NPC, more hacks should include that

[@Quadrixis]

Just completed the game, I must say I was quite impressed with this. The battle with professor Oak was especially exciting. Your efforts and resolve are truly commendable. Gen 2 Solus is a must

[@Dechrissen]

This comment is going on my mantel

[@eucalyptus807]

This is one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen.

[@yourjaguarlover]

As Dec knows I'm not a poke-nerd myself but i love how he tells how he goes about doing things, and mate, this resultant trailer is really nicely produced. Kudos!

[@TarikA]

I gotta be honest with you. I'm not sure why I should pick this over PureRGB or Shin Pokémon R/G/B but it's good to have options I guess and maybe you'll introduce more distinct features in future updates. The trailer though was very well done and I'm glad for any additional Gen 1 dev. :)

[@wesleylittlefield6641]

I don't think you have to choose between them. It's great to play them all, and this one is great if you feel like a more vanilla experience.

[@TarikA]

@@wesleylittlefield6641 Shin is super vanilla though :)

[@verymelonman12]

@@wesleylittlefield6641 Agreed. Romhacks are a buffet; you don't need to eat everything, just the stuff you want.

[@PujitheGreatest]

Cant wait to stream this jawn 👾👾

[@jonaw.2153]

Awesome! If I remember correctly, you said that you wanted to get finished within the month. And you did!

[@TheAzulmagia]

Kinda reminds me of Yellow Legacy, but the Field Moves slot is a neat addition.

[@EtherealLifeline]

This looks like a less featured version of Pokemon PureRGB.

[@FoxMan_FF]

That's the vibe that I got as well! I'm glad that both of these hacks exist, though- its nice that people are putting out more Gen 1 experiences that are an overall quality of life improvement rather than yet another "difficulty" hack.

[@Dechrissen]

They accomplish different things, really. If you don't want a closer-to-vanilla experience (with some creative liberties taken when necessary), then it's probably not for you. PureRGB is cool too.

[@RobertMatoRec]

This is why I'm interested in this. For a hack called "Pure", PureRGB changes and adds way too much for my tastes. This looks much more like my style, and I'm excited to try it out.

[@Vortyne_Romhacks]

​@@RobertMatoRec What exactly has been changed "too much" in pureRGB? Almost everything is configurable and can be set back to original in the romhack. New areas are either toggleable, or easy to avoid if you don't want to do them. Only exception is move changes. But I don't see why people would be against improving moves they would never use whatsoever, which is what I did.

[@royedwards2366]

This is the kind of romhack I was looking for. Enjoying it so far!

[@edgardeitz5746]

Now let's see "Pokemon Solus *Yellow"* get made!

[@abrax0318]

This is the next romhack I'm gonna play, excelent work bro 👏👏👏

[@facoulac]

Looks amazing. Im definitely bored of Gen I, but i will try it because it looks well made!

[@Dechrissen]

Hope you like it!

[@verymelonman12]

Wow, and here I was ready to dig into Extreme Yellow. Now I have choice paralysis.

[@Dechrissen]

Both at the same time :)

[@riquithedragon7006]

I have a question which version of Pokémon Green should I patch?

[@Dechrissen]

For Solus Red or Solus Green, patch Pokémon Red :) (For Solus Blue, patch Pokémon Blue)

[@riquithedragon7006]

@@Dechrissen I already managed to patch many

[@ekinteko]

​@@Dechrissen Have you thought about crafting the games slightly different ? Green = Easy Mode Blue = Medium Difficulty Red = Hard Mode For instance, Green will give you more money and items upfront. It will give you EXP Share in Pallet Town. And have the trainers easier to beat to level up and defeat gym leaders. Also your starter gets max EV/IVs. Red makes EXP Share a late game item. Has less money and items to find. And makes it necessary to grind in both grassy areas and go-to distant trainers. Your starter and most wild catch are low EV/IV points. Does that idea sound interesting? I don't think we've every had a difficulty setting ever in a Pokemon mainline game.

[@Raylightsen]

​@@ekintekoGrind is boring as hell. No thanks.

[@Dechrissen]

@@ekinteko Interesting idea! I have a similar idea for a future potential update, something along the lines of a 'hard mode' setting that would enhance enemy trainers' parties, while still utilizing vanilla battle mechanics.

[@melo-7904]

i am going to have to get used to the back sprites, they are good but i am going to have to get used to them (even though GSC had high red back sprites and i am more of a johto enjoyer myself) especially for red himself, i would personally re-pose him to match either golds/Ethan, catching tutorial guy or kris's sprites from GSC but that would go against the spirit of this hack and i feel like i can get used to these sprites

[@graduator14]

Well done! If only the original were like this.

[@tristanshaw9965]

Looks awesome!

[@nzonkagaming]

Very beautiful back sprites.

[@Dechrissen]

They're from the Spaceworld 1997 G/S beta :)

[@N3Selina]

i might be trying this. thank you

[@joshua7426]

This looks really cool

[@neutralb4109]

Okay, now this is epic.

[@soluslightblast8302]

I saw this had my name in it and I had to check it out

[@bmeht]

nice, this looks great!

[@WrectumTerror]

Is Surf still useable battle move?

[@Dechrissen]

Yes, you can still teach HMs as normal battle moves if you choose

[@b1gpapan3cr04]

All 151 pokemon! ...including likitung...

[@Raylightsen]

Looks amazing. Thank you for not adding the annoying as hell downgrade that is special split. I cannot tolerate modern poke games coz of that.

[@beecebrashley1467]

Terraria font at 1:15 lfg

[@Dechrissen]

Andy Bold, good font 😛 Turns out it's used often: Red/Blue box art, Banjo-Kazooie text on XBLA version, and TIL Terraria as well :)

[@dalewilliams4451]

I want all gen mons in yellow version

[@edgardeitz5746]

Has anyone tried to merge "Pokemon Solus RGB" with "Pokemon PureRGB" yet?

[@Vortyne_Romhacks]

PureRGB has pretty much every feature this romhack has and more already

[@Dechrissen]

I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, or how it would work in practice. PureRGB fixes a lot more bugs from vanilla than Solus does, and has generally more non-vanilla content. It's a cool romhack, but the philosophy behind Solus was essentially to stay very close to vanilla, while enhancing it in ways that would allow the player to accomplish things they would normally be able to via trading with another cartridge, or trading to Gen 2 and back, etc. The additions which are not vanilla were added (usually) to support the "maintain a vanilla experience, but enhance it for a single cartridge" philosophy (e.g. Bill's father -- he's not in vanilla, obviously, but his addition as the Flamethrower salesman is supported by the fact that he's the move tutor in Crystal; the role he fills is the same as in Gen 2, and this is how I decided to implement the Flamethrower part of the Gen 2 tradeback learnsets). If you're curious about more of these justifications for my changes, you can check the Feature Log in the GitHub repository, linked in the description.

[@oholibama8888]

Is that pureRGB, but less?

[@EphemeralPseudonym]

New pixel art for most mons but Mew is still that abomination 😂

[@Dechrissen]

That's Mew's R/G sprite. The sprite set uses a selection of all my favorites among the Gen 1 sprites.

[@bockrottom4877]

Why in the ever loving hell does mew still look like that!? Fantastic otherwise.

[@Dechrissen]

I like the Red/Green sprite

[@moogle-ocelot4678]

Any Fornat for Android? ?

[@bluebirdsigma]

Any modern emulator no matter if it's for PC or phone should run any patched rom.

[@SilentRealm6677]

would've been better if red and green used Japanese tilesets

[@captainxhulio2929]

Only worth it if you put it on an actual cartridge

[@augustocarvalho7357]

Pokemon Red Blue Green Celebrations is much better than this

[@neutralb4109]

Okay, now this is epic.
