Wanted to show off my Gen 1 Golem

Wanted to show off my Gen 1 Golem

Took me about a month to get everything, but i sourced it all from my local gamestore for less than $400

Both SPs have IPS and speaker mods, but no USB-C mod.

Pokemon yellow came with a (likely glitched) Mew, and pokemon red is pretty beat up, missing the cartridge sticker and being covered in scuffs, I also got blue, but its not included in the "less than $400" and was bought at a different gamestore.

Two Years Ago, I Asked If Pokémon Red Saves Could Be Converted to FireRed… Today, It Works!

Two years ago, I made this post⁠ asking whether it would be possible to continue a Pokémon Red journey in Pokémon FireRed

Today, I’m happy to say that I built it!
pkmn 2.0 can convert a Pokémon Red save into a working Pokémon FireRed save. Think like how you migrate your iPhone 13 to an iPhone 17 Pro. You get back all your data (not only iCloud) with the added 17 Pro features. The same way is what my project successfully does. It’s able to transfer your entire save progression from pokemon red to fire red. No one has ever done it and I though this would be an
Amazing project because I have dreamed of playing my pokemon red save on fire red without having to replay the game (I could have just replayed cuz it could have taken less time but doing this project now anyone with a click of button can convert their red save to fire red!)

Red and FireRed have completely different save structures, so this isn’t a matter of copying bytes from one save to another. The converter instead translates the meaning of the Red save into the corresponding FireRed state.

It also generates a conversion report explaining what was transferred, what had to be changed, and what was safely defaulted when the two games don’t have a direct equivalent.

I tested the complete conversion in an emulator: the converted save loaded successfully, the Pokémon and supported progress appeared correctly, and FireRed could save and reload normally afterward.

The project is free and open source, and it does not include or distribute any ROMs.
GitHub (pls star and share the project so people can hear about it): https://github.com/AAAMAQ/pkmn-cli

A huge thank you to everyone who encouraged the original idea, the pret decompilation contributors, the Pokémon Community Conversion Standard and Poké Transporter GB teams, StrategyWiki contributors, and everyone else who helped preserve and document knowledge about these games.

I also used OpenAI Codex as a research and engineering collaborator throughout the project, while I directed the work and personally performed the gameplay verification. There may be glitches or issue, if any is there feel free to report it!

Two years ago, this was only an idea.
Now it works. ❤️🔥

I LOVE YOU FIRE RED!

I need help on the good ol kanto challenges?

So for the 3 evolved starters, do I need to just transfer their base forms such as charmander, squirtle, and bulbasaur then evolve them in a later game, or do I have to evolve them in RBY then transfer them.

I'm a person who hasn't played 1st generation games.

As the title says, I've never played any Gen 1 games, but I really want to. So my question is, how can I beat this game so much like a madman that it drives me crazy and I start enjoying it?

Pokémon Bank End of Service on February 25, 2027

You've probably seen the news if you're subscribed to other Pokémon subreddits. For those who like to play Red/Blue/Yellow on the 3DS VC, Pokémon Bank will shut down on February 25, 2027 at 7pm PDT. This means we only have six months remaining to transfer any Pokémon to Pokémon Bank and move them into HOME.

How to proceed with the Ditto glitch in Victory Road?

So the other day I posted asking about if it was possible to trigger it, and now that I’m sure I can, I have several doubts.

I’m going to follow the steps of the images attached on this same post, but summarising, they basically consist on: Having equipes my Pokemom with 21 of special (same ID as Mew), trigger the fight against the female cooltrainer of the 3rd floor, run with dig before it starts, and then enter inside again to fight the only trainer on the 1st floor so I can have back my start menu and so fly.

After this, I‘m not sure how to proceed. If I encounter another Pokémon not outside from Victory Road, will the plan fail? Can I use unlimited times the fly and dig HM? Do I fly to Fuchsia City, go to Route 15 and fight the Ditto? Can I use again fly to go back to Victory Road and trigger again the combat with the 3rd floor cooltrainer?

I think it’s doable, but the possibilities for it to fail are higher than normally would be.
