Description

Pokemon Yume is an enhancement hack of Pokemon Red and Blue built on the pokered disassembly. It aims to enrich the originals with improved gameplay balance, greater Pokemon accessibility, and carefully integrated additions that feel as though they were always meant to be there. Above all, it seeks to preserve the charm and spirit of these games.

Yume – meaning dream, symbolizes a return to Kanto where the line between memory and reimagination blurs. Loosely inspired by the anime, manga, and later Pokemon generations, Yume features expanded storylines, new areas, and subtle cultural touches highlighting the games’ Japanese roots.

Key Features/ Changes/ New Additions

What’s new?

Catch ’em all! All original 151 Pokémon are available through natural gameplay.
Play as Red or Green. Adventure as a girl or a boy.
Revisit Kanto. Explore new areas like the Cinnabar Volcano, the Saffron Pokémon Academy, Celadon Grove… and even an all-new Mandarin Island!
Expanded Postgame. New quests, Elite Four rematches, Gen 2 tie-ins, a restored Prof. Oak battle, and more!
Mew quest. A proper storyline leading to the Mythical Pokémon.
Quality-of-life improvements. Running shoes, bigger bag space, easier HM usage, experience bars, repel reuse prompts, a move deleter, and much more.

Gameplay updates

Moves

Several moves have been parsimoniously reworked in order to increase their viability while trying to maintain the original feeling of the game. Three moves from later generations have been added.
Consult the complete list of move changes for more info!
Ghost is now a Special type, and Dragon a Physical type.
Fix for Focus energy and Dire hit. (Quadruple critical hit rate instead of dividing it by 4.)

Learnsets

Pokémon learnsets have been revamped in the same spirit: to give more options while trying to maintain Gen 1 authenticity.
The new learnsets can be consulted in this file.
Stone and trade evolutions keep learning moves.

Battles

Updated type match-ups: Ghost is very effective against Psychic, Bug is not effective against Poison.
Fixed badge boost glitch and Leech Seed/Toxic exploit.
Gym leaders’ and Elite 4 members’ Pokémon have better moves overall.
Several Gym leader teams were slightly modified (but trying to keep their theme intact!).
The rival’s teams now include a more diverse roster to better reflect his storyline.
New trainers to fight in new and existing areas. (You may recognize some from the anime!)
Rematches for Gym leaders and the Elite 4 with stronger teams and movesets.
A new Battle Hall with random 3vs3 battles.

Wild encounters

Wild encounters have been reworked to increase diversity and make many Pokémon available earlier in the game.
For full details (spoilers!), see the files for wild encounters on each map and their probabilities.
Every fishing rod is available earlier than it was in the original games.
Fishing encounters were completely reworked in terms of levels and Pokémon diversity.
For full details (spoilers!), see the files for the Old rod, Good rod and Super rod.
The Area feature of the Pokédex now shows Land, Surf, and Fishing encounters separately.
A new NPC gives the fossil you didn’t choose in Mt. Moon later in the game.
Either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan is also obtainable from a new NPC before the Elite 4.

Unlock the ability to view DVs and Stat.Exp (the Gen 1 equivalents of IVs and EVs) at the new Pokémon Academy.
Obtain the Poké Beeper from Oak’s aide on Route 6 to get alerts when your box is almost full.

There are also many other smaller tweaks to the original game, and still more to come!

Link cable functionalities have not been tested yet – try it at your own risk.

Version differences

Differences between versions are minimal.

Version-exclusive Pokémon are now handled as rarity differences instead of being completely unavailable in the other version.
For instance, in the original games, Oddish was exclusive to Red, while Bellsprout was exclusive to Blue. In Yume, they are obtainable in all versions, but Oddish is more common in Red and Bellsprout is more common in Blue.
Green version shares the same encounter tables as Blue.

Other differences remain as in the original games:

Game Boy Color palettes: Red/Green for Red, Green/Red for Green, Blue/Red for Blue.
Game Corner slots: different visual designs.
Super Game Boy: different border graphics.

Unless you’re after an easier hunt for a specific version-exclusive Pokémon, just pick whichever color you like!
