Great hack, but avoid the beach house!bblackfire2020-09-22Version 1.1

I didn't actually read the last (and only of this posting) review of this hack before downloading and trying the mod, and I had the learn the hard way that entering the summer beach house on route 19 softlocks the game. So, like the guy before me said, DO NOT ENTER THE SUMMER BEACH HOUSE. I literally made an account just to say this, so don't do it.

But otherwise, this is a great mod that makes Yellow look a lot nicer in battles.

very good graphics hackerpster22019-09-12Version 1.1

this is a very good graphics hack - a great way to experience Pokemon Yellow with much improved graphics.

one problem I found - do NOT enter the small beach house south of Fuchsia City on Route 19 near the water (the house where the Surfing Pikachu game is played); entering that house will immediately crash the game. avoid going in there.

also it would be nice if the overworld would get a Gen II graphics update, just like what this guy did with the pokemon red game: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1385/
