Hack description

Back in the 90s, Nintendo had a great fondness for censorship. With many games (including Pokémon), they felt it was their job to protect us from the dangers of pixelated sex, drugs, religion, and alleged racism. Well, in case you wanna see what all the fuss was about, this patch fixes the graphical changes made during localization.

  • Restore the back/front sprites of Lanturn, Pichu, Sneasel, Jynx Feraligatr, Aipom, Stantler, Slowpoke, Teddiursa, Donphan, Blissey, Pinsir, Flaaffy, Sunkern, Wooper, Girafarig, Qwilfish, Slugma, Politoad and Pupitar.
  • Restore Sonicboom's animation.
