Team Rocket

Team Rocket isn’t in nearly as bad of shape in Yellow as their story in Crystal, so the differences here compared to Crystal Legacy are minor. The main change you’ll find is a sweeping buff to all the normal team members of Team Rocket to increase variety and challenge. Then, we gave a proper team progression to Jessie and James, and added some of their iconic Pokémon.

Finally, the big boss; with Giovanni we decided not to show team progression and growth through the game like other recurring trainers. He is meant to be the overarching villain of the game’s plot and the self-proclaimed strongest trainer; he should be a threat at all stages. In that interest, instead of bringing his full team from his gym, we instead gave Giovanni two groups of powerful hand-picked Pokémon that he uses during operations–never forgetting his iconic Persian, of course. His first team features some cool and familiar choices that fit his theme, like Kangaskhan and Onix. We also added Marowak to hint at his hand in the events at Pokémon Tower. Marowak are incredibly rare because of Team Rocket–it makes sense that the Ground gym leader and underground boss of the team would have kept one for himself. His second team steers a different direction, boasting a lineup of heavy hitters inspired by his Pokémon from the anime.

Gym Leaders

The Gym Leaders you face throughout your journey have been given a heavy facelift, curating each battle to provide a worthy challenge with every badge. Additionally, you can now choose your own path through the midgame, with Erika, Koga, and Sabrina now sporting scaleable teams that power up with each badge you have.

Elite Four

The Elite 4 have seen massive upgrades in their available movesets and, in some cases, their teammates. You are now looking at a pure gauntlet of trainers with some of the strongest Pokémon in the game to go through. This all culminates with one of the best fights in the game: the Champion fight. Enjoy!

Post Game

There are now additional battles you can encounter while traversing through Kanto again after clearing the Pokemon League, as well as special trainers in reclusive locations, hoping to test their mettle against only the most mighty of foes. Some of them may even be familiar to those who are savvy enough. Can you defeat these powerful trainers?

Elite Four Remacthes

The Elite 4 have one final challenge for you now that you are Champion. They won’t hold back this time, and they have teams that Eagle-eyed Pokémon fans might recognise. Expect some very tough fights here!

Professor Oak

Professor Oak, once mentioned by Agatha to be a rival of hers, has the urge to finally experience that thrill once again! Find him after becoming Champion, and he will give you a battle to remember. He has a second hidden fight, but you will have to figure out how to earn that one. I recommend completing the challenge set before you.
