See https://github.com/Vortyne/pureRGB/blob/master/FEATURES.md for the full features documentation.

----SETUP INSTRUCTIONS START----

Scroll to the bottom of this page and download the IPS patch file for the version you want from the file list below. Use Lunar IPS to patch pokemon blue for PureBlue or PureGreen. Patch pokemon red for PureRed.

Always use these patch files on the original english game. Don't try to use any on a game that's already been patched.

----SETUP INSTRUCTIONS END----

Any v2.0 or higher save file should work in this new version - but I would recommend loading the save normally rather than loading a save state. You may experience strange behaviour if you load a save state during something that I have changed between v2.0 and the current version. If you are stuck in place on loading the save in the new version, use Fly, Teleport, or Pocket Abra to fix the issue. If you get a really bad bug on loading your save, try going to somewhere else on the old version (Viridian city pokemon center is a good choice), and saving there instead, then loading on the new version again.

Patch Notes

New Features:

==NEW AREAS / EVENTS==

  • You can phone home, professor oak, even your rival from the telephones in Celadon City's Department Store. You can choose how the conversations play out, and they even can have some subsequent small events based on what you choose when you go back to PALLET TOWN!

  • The urban legend - Bills Garden - was added into the game! It only is accessible once you become champ. You'll find some amusing stuff there. Visit it a couple of times! What you find might change!

  • Added an entirely new top secret area - has to do with MEWTWO. You can only get there after becoming champ and finding some other secret stuff first. I recommend bringing MEWTWO and maybe even MEW with you...you might find something really interesting if you do. This area has a new tileset, new music...very fancy. THIS TOOK FOREVER TO IMPLEMENT

  • Added a new NPC in a new basement area of the Pokemon Tower. You can only get there after saving Mr Fuji. Before that there's a ROCKET blocking the door. This NPC can curse your GENGAR to make it look like a HAUNTER again. Funnily enough, this doesn't affect its stats at all. It's just a visual curse. Another NPC in a house in Lavender can make it go back to normal.

==QUALITY OF LIFE==

  • Surf will now stay active until you load another map. You can keep entering and exiting water without re-selecting to use surf. Just walk onto the water and you'll start surfing automatically. In some areas with surfing indoors, it'll remember you used surf between maps too (examples: seafoam islands, cerulean cave, safari zone)

  • More info was added to Bills PC - mostly about how many slots are used in your current box. The CHANGE BOX menu was revamped visually. When you change boxes, you can see how many pokemon are in every single box. You can permanently dismiss the "changing a box will save the game, is this OK?" message if you want.

  • When you catch a pokemon, it will tell you how many slots are left in the current box.

  • When you try to release a pokemon, you will have to press START to confirm the release. Helps avoid accidentally releasing pokemon.

  • The snappiness of BILL's PC and Player's PC menus has been improved. Some text prints a lot faster when you are depositing/withdrawing pokemon/items.

==VISUALS==

  • New alternate front sprite options for RATICATE, ABRA, CLOYSTER, KOFFING, EXEGGCUTE, and ELECTABUZZ

  • The sprite options menus were simplified. Now all the front sprite options are a child of the sprite options page. Hit "EDIT" on "FRONT SPRITES" in the sprite options page to change front sprite options.

  • Enhanced the following spaceworld backsprites: ARCANINE, CATERPIE, CHARMELEON, DODRIO, DODUO, DRAGONAIR, DRAGONITE, EKANS, GOLDEEN, GRAVELER, KAKUNA, MAGMAR, MANKEY, MEOWTH, NIDORAN(F), NIDORAN(M), PIDGEOT, PIDGEOTTO, PRIMEAPE, SEAKING, SHELLDER, VENONAT, VILEPLUME

  • Enhanced the following front sprites slightly: EKANS, MAGNEMITE, SHELLDER

  • Enhanced the following alternate front sprites: CLOYSTER

  • Added new optional overworld sprites for Erika and LT.Surge. Use the MENU ICONS option to toggle these just like all other new overworld sprites. Thanks to Mord for most of the work on these overworld sprites.

  • Toggling the MENU ICONS setting will now reload sprites in the current map too on the fly. You don't have to reload the map to see the differences anymore.

  • Improved the visual effects of pushing the truck out of the way in Vermilion City to access MEW.

  • You can see "The side of the building" from the roof of Celadon City Department Store and Celadon Mansion.

  • The new NPC who gives you LAPRAS in celadon hotel now walks away when he leaves.

  • TELEPORT's animation was slightly modified

  • BLIZZARD's animation was slightly modified

==BATTLE CHANGES==

  • TELEPORT does something in battle now. If you have more than 1 pokemon, the user will switch out and you can choose another to send in its place. On top of that, the pokemon that used TELEPORT will then heal 25% health. For wild opponent pokemon only, it still works as it used to work and they will run away if they use it.

==AUDIO CHANGES==

  • Added Giovanni's Theme (unused track from pokemon yellow) into the game when you encounter Giovanni. You have to turn on the new OG+ Music option to hear this track.

  • Added a visual effect and sound effect when you push a rock down a hole in seafoam/victory road.

  • Added a sound effect when you fall down a hole in seafoam/victory road.

==MINOR TWEAKS==

  • Lance now has a SEADRA instead of VICTREEBEL

BUGFIXES

Fixes for Bugs in the original game:

  • FIXED: Tileblocks being replaced in places (Victory Road, Cinnabar) could cause a lot of in-game lag.
  • FIXED: Sound effects during text wouldn't work with instant text setting
  • FIXED: Sometimes you can see a tileblock being replaced visually when the map first loads. Example: victory road

Fixes for Bugs I caused:

  • FIXED: Movedex quiz had a question with an option overlapping the text box border
  • FIXED: Repel steps decrementing when just changing direction in the overworld rather than just moving around
  • FIXED: The TM name loader could cause crashing in rare scenarios.
  • FIXED: Prevented an added trainer in route 2 from blocking you (easy to avoid even if they did, but may as well)
  • FIXED: Visual bug when falling down holes (appeared to be already fallen for a moment)
  • FIXED: Visual bug during Cinnabar Color Changer dialogue
  • FIXED: Visual bug when opening a pokedex entry, going to town map from the pokedex, and then going back to the overworld.
  • FIXED: On Route 9, you can't jump the ledge onto the cut tree anymore.
  • FIXED: Mist would erroneously make Tri Attack miss.
