Pokémon Extreme Yellow V1.3
If you are using a savefile from V1.0, make sure to NOT save in Rival's House NOR in Route 4.
If you are using a savefile from V1.1 or V1.2, make sure to NOT save in any of the following maps: Secluded Atoll, Route 4, Cerulean City, Fighting Dojo, Safari Meeting Room, Pewter Gym, Vermilion City.
Whenever you update from an older savefile, it is highly recommended to be able to Fly/Teleport/Dig/Escape Rope your way out of wherever you may end up being, to minimize the risk of glitches.

See the main GitHub info page of the project for all details about Extreme Yellow.

You can obtain your working rom by patching the patch attached here to a base English version of Pokémon Yellow.
You can use an online patcher, e.g. romhacking's.

Enjoy your experience and please report any bug in the Discord server! :)

List of differences with respect to previous version

  • added a Cheat Candy item in the player's PC that acts as a Rare Candy which doesn't get consumed upon usage, to offer an option to players who don't want to grind their levels up
  • improved Altered Types (previously "New") description, added spoilerless info on all modified typings, and updated Dewgong from Water/Fairy to Ice/Fairy
  • item randomization has been improved: drinks cannot be found anymore as pick-up items, and some other key items cannot be substituted with different ones
  • fixed a bug that showed the wrong information when teaching a move via TM
  • fixed a bug that prevented Slowpoke from evolving into Slowking
  • fixed a bug that froze the game if one accessed Route 22 after defeating Brock and before reaching Cerulean
  • fixed a bug in the Secluded Atoll map
  • adjusted learnsets for Charmander and Oddish lines
  • moved Cerulean Jenny to prevent softlocking
  • improved the switch AI to prevent infinite switching
  • fixed a bug with the sight length of trainers in the Saffron Dojo
  • fixed a collision bug that allowed players to go out-of-bound in Route 8 and crash the game
  • fixed a number of typos

Known glitches

All of these are glitches I am aware of, that I want to fix but they are quite tough to deal with and cause little-to-no harm to the gameplay:

  • the intro page of the surfing minigame has a random unwanted tile
  • after playing the surfing minigame, the surf enthusiast disappears. It re-appears upon exiting and re-entering the building
  • when using the Portable PC, some tiles may be glitched, specifically the one representing the level of the Pokémon
  • when using the Item Randomization option, the TMs available in the Marts will not correspond to the ones you actually picked up
