About Yellow Legacy



The Yellow Legacy project is the prequel to Crystal Legacy by content creator Patrick Smith (TheSmithPlays), and the second project in his planned Legacy series. It is based on the Pokémon Yellow disassembly. The Legacy project is focused on changing the base game in a way that adds quality of life additions and better balancing with the benefit of twenty years of hindsight. The primary goal of each mod is to keep the original feeling of the game while still making meaningful improvements for the player. This means that certain idiosyncrasies of the first generation of Pokémon games will remain, as they are considered an essential aspect to the core experience.


Pokémon Yellow exists in a unique role in the Pokémon franchise – it was the first truly significant revision of existing Pokémon games, and it still exists as the only core Pokémon game to be influenced by the anime. Furthermore, Pokémon Yellow introduced greater use of color, more challenging boss fights, availability for all three starters, and Pikachu as your companion. As a project to improve this game, Yellow Legacy seeks to find balance between furthering the unique niche of anime-influence while still representing the first generation of Pokémon as a whole.


Yellow Legacy aims to give each Pokémon a special niche. Balance changes were made with the intent to keep the first generation of Pokémon feeling similar to their original incarnations, while also guaranteeing that using your favorite Pokémon will not significantly handicap your journey through Kanto. As the intent is to maintain the feeling of the Generation 1 games, Yellow Legacy will not change core aspects of the battle system such as the sleep status, critical hit chance being based off of speed, or the overpowered functionality of trapping moves such as Wrap or Fire Spin.


While Yellow Legacy is not designed as a “Kaizo” project, Pokémon trainer fights (especially bosses) throughout the game have been made more difficult. Difficulty is used as a tool to make the game as engaging as possible to the most amount of players. It will not be difficult for the sake of being difficult, but rather, to provide you with a challenge that gives reaching the title of Champion a feeling of genuine earned satisfaction. Major trainers will have Pokémon and attacks designed to counter players attempting to easily sweep through the fight with a single super-effective Pokémon. However, players will also have more opportunities to create unique teams of stellar Pokémon to tackle each major fight. Pokémon availability has also been altered throughout the world to provide appropriately-powerful Pokémon based on your progression through the game. Finally, all 151 Pokémon will be obtainable in a single playthrough, and a small amount of post-game content has been added as well.

If you are wondering about where to encounter a Pokémon, or what a Pokémon’s learnset may be, please go and use the Pokédex to find where it is or what moves it learns. We have an upgraded in-game Pokédex, courtesy of cRz Shadows (Craig), that is a godsend for in-game information; view the pictures below to see what it looks like.

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.

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?

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.
