Pokemon Yellow Legacy+

About Pokemon Yellow Legacy+

Pokémon Yellow Legacy+ turns Yellow into a fuller quality-of-life and balance pass, with overworld HM use, reusable Repels, an expanded bag, and faster healing and saving. DarthBR and CreamELDudJafar created this completed English GBC Yellow hack, version 1.0, based on TheSmithPlays’ Pokémon Yellow Legacy. Team menus reveal StatEXP and DVs, TMs show their names, and the Pokédex displays learnsets, locations, gifts, and fishing. Gym teams can scale dynamically, AI is improved, and Hard mode enforces Set mode, level caps, and no battle items. Several trade evolutions now happen by level.
