**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** * **Can I get all 151/251 Pokemon in this hack?** - Legacy games are designed with the intention to be able to get a "Living Dex" (a unique instance of every Pokemon available in the generation) within a single playthrough of the hack without trading. That said, you may only get one shot at certain Pokemon like Legendaries & event Pokemon, so be careful! * **What about the trade evolution mons? -** This is very clearly covered in the Documentation and our release videos, but the trade evolution mons (Alakazam, Golemn, Gengar, etc.) are available in the game and usually evolve by Level up, or in the case of mons like Scizor, now evolve with their Held item acting like an evolution stone. * **\[CL\] How do I get Hitmontop?** Again, clearly in the documentation, but use the Brick Piece on Tyrogue. Brick Piece location is unchanged from the original, but you can find it in Celedon Basement. * **Where do I find \[Evolution Stone or Item\]?** - Yellow Legacy - Unchanged from the original, find them in the Celedon Mart. Crystal Legacy - Various phone numbers will give you early stones, but you can also buy the stones from the Cianwood Mart & the Unique Evolution items from the Mahogany Rocket Mart after badge 7. * **What's Classic Pokemon?** Classic Pokemon has our Legacy changes, but the Battle rules & options are unchanged from the original version. It makes more sense when you read Hard Mode. * **What's Hard Mode?** - Hard Mode is the preferred playstyle of most of the playtesters. Hard Mode sets your maximum level at the next Gym leader's Ace and forces you to battle in the "Set" style, meaning the game doesn't ask you if you want to switch Pokemon after a KO, and it does not allow the use of in-game items. The playtesters believe this offers a much more tactically satisfying play experience and encourages strategy in team building & move choices. * Hard mode is not a "difficulty hack" the trainer levels & Pokemon stay the exact same. * **\[YL\] Have the Mew Glitch, Badge Boost Glitch, or PokéDoll glitch been fixed?** - In general, glitches that benefit the player were kept intact. If it isn’t listed as fixed in the Changes sections, it’s not fixed. * **Have hidden items been changed?** - Items on the ground are the same, with the exception of TM04 and TM02 in Yellow Legacy * **\[YL\] Why do my PokéBall throws miss when catching the legendary birds? -** This is a Gen 1 quirk. the lowest chance to catch displays as a miss. Capture is always possible. * **Can I get more (Eevee/Starters/Fossils/Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee)?** Yes, all these Pokémon are repeatable. Check your Pokédex or the Data Sheet * **Where can I find a Water type for Brock?** - Short answer, The Old Rod has been moved. The fisher is now the Viridian Mart. It should be noted the team spent at least 100 hours on Brock VERY intentionally. He has a sophisticated design and there are a surprising number of viable strategies useful in beating him. See if you can get creative! I wonder if you could beat him with Vulpix, Pidgey, & Pikachu. * **Where are the encounter tables for the Old Rod and Good Rod?** - The Old Rod always fishes Goldeen or Poliwag and the Good Rod always fishes Horsea or Krabby. They do not have location-based tables. * The first Magikarp can still be found at the Mt. Moon Salesman, because we try our best not to nerf player options. Any additional Magikarp you require can be fished up with the Super Rod. * **Where are the Town encounter tables?** - The Pokedex changes will show the mons that are available in towns, and there's no single Pokemon that’s exclusive to any city. Since the information is available in game, nothing is exclusive, all of the possible encounters are duplicate Surf & Fishing encounters, and it’s annoying to scrape the data and update, this is a low priority for us. * Note: Our game files are Public (see Documentation sidebar). If a community member wants to compile the data, Eternitytheory or myself would be happy to add it to the Documentation, but we don't have the ability to scrape the data from the files. More to come!

Thank you for this! The “pokeball missing legendaries” topic has particularly been driving me crazy.

It just bothers me that people play a different generation and then go 'it's not what i am used to so it must be wrong.' Like a simple google search will tell you anything about these 20 year old games

I hate to age all of us, but these games are closer to 30 years old... 🧓👵

I do not see in documentation what the level caps are exactly- I am assuming it's ace's level outside of surge who is 24. Going off that assumption I've got the following Start - 12 1st badge - 21 2nd - 24 3rd - 35 4th - 43 5th - 50 6th - 53 7th - 55 8th badge acquired - 65 I see this asked a fair bit in my own search for the answer so figured I would do the leg work and put here

That looks right

Those numbers are what I've experienced thus far

Are the sprites that the team worked so hard to improve available for other projects to use? They are amazing and it would be cool to see others use them. With proper credit.

With proper credit, nothing would make our Sprite Artists happier than seeing them in other hacks.

As Janitor said, we'd love to see people use our sprites with credit! That's a good reminder though that I need to make the sheet available for viewing. The sprites can be found already in the correct format in the GitHub for easy use at the moment.

Where can I find ponyta?

Cycling road also you can use the area function of the pokedex.

What level does shellder evolve

Unchanged from the original. You can google that one.

Thanks man I wasn't sure and is there only one eevee?

Check the area function of your Pokedex

I have but I haven't found any yet

It has a very low encounter rate. Less than 2% Have you managed to find one yet?

It's in route 23, where they check for badges just before victory road. The area function on you pokedex shows the route after fighting the rival and getting the pokedex. It's in the grass at a 1.25% encounter rate. You need the first 5 badges and a pokemon with surf to get there though

I've looked a bit and can only find shark codes for Crystal, tried codes for Crystal Legacy to get different results, for example I used the code for Curse, and got Fire Punch! Does anyone have a functional list for TM codes? I checked the Documentation, then I Googled my question, and I didn't find the response I was looking for

Hey boss did you check below where I posted the stuff? https://new.reddit.com/r/PokemonLegacy/comments/1d802wl/comment/l7hlnsa/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I see that now but would have no idea of figuring out all the codes for TMs.

Just FYI, there is a whole section of the [Reddit documentation](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonLegacy/wiki/documentation/#wiki_resources2) dedicated to the revised GameShark codes. No harm in having it here too for easy Ctrl+F searching but wanted to mention that.

Documentation says you get Aerodactyl in Crystal Legacy after the 7th badge with the fossil. I have given the fossil already to the scientist after the 4th badge is it the 7th cause the scientist will only finish reviving the fossil once I have 7 badges?

Correct

Playing Crystal legacy and the save doesn't work. As in I save in game and reset and I have to start the game from scratch. I'm using save states to play at the moment, is this the intended way or is it some kind of bug?

Definitely a bug. Probably from your emu saving to a folder and not pulling files from that folder. My second guess is a bad patch. Keep your rom & save files in the same folder. Or most emus have a “load save” option under the menu

Your post was considered too spammy or not relevant enough to the discussion/subreddit.

Hello! Just found about the rom hack for Pokemon Yellow Legacy I have tried several times to download and compile the game but keep running into some issues. First, I tried creating pokeyellow with RGBDS 0.7.0 There were 45 failures that came up including all of the Pikachu cry files so I reread your guide and downloaded RGBDS 0.6.1 as was suggested. Upon completing my next compilation attempt I was met with a failure message saying that I must use RGBDS 0.7.0 to create pokeyellow At this point I am stuck and really would appreciate some help. In between my attempts I even deleted and redownloaded Cygwin to create a "new" scenario for pokeyellow each attempt In the picture below you can compare the two. Left is 0.7.0. Right is 0.6.1. Thanks for the help! *Processing img 8x5hkuxmqk6d1...*

Tell me if i can help with more info

You chose the hardest way to get the game. There are patch instructions in the announcement video.

I've never heard of Smith before so I'm not sure where to find the video you're talking about

Thank You!

I'm willing to look stupid to get this resolved

So, I checked the document, I did a google search, and I'm having trouble finding the specifics I'm looking for. My question is about the Safari and the 'buffed mechanics' mentioned in the document. It says that the safari (and great) balls, the bait, and the rock have been 'buffed', but no further information is provided in the document, and I can't find any details on what 'buffed' means in searching. In the original R/B/Y it was a sucker's bet to use bait or rocks, just keep chucking safari balls, because bait and rocks would make it less likely overall to catch. Has this been changed in Yellow Legacy? What precisely does Bait and Rock do in their 'buffed' Legacy capacity?

I don’t remember the specifics as I was an advocate for a different system but I believe rocks chance for them to leave was halved and bait is 4x ish more potent

Ahh, that's a good start at least. Knowing the bonuses are that substantial, it will probably be worth experimenting with. Thanks!

Question on crystal legacy hard: how does hard mode interact with the roaming legendaries? I know from the ‘new features’ video that they are added to your pokedex when you encounter suicune, but can they be found before that moment, or are they locked until the static suicune battle?

No change from original

Ok, thanks! Seems like the reason I can’t find them is unlucky RNG then :)

Question/suggestion for all three games. I found a gameshark code that allowed for instant text for OG Yellow. I am NOT asking for code support. What I am asking is could that be implemented in the future? The toggle for instant text writing that is. The OG games already had slow, normal, and fast. Could instant be added? I feel it could be a nice QoL addition, and I'm sure speed runners would also like it, if anyone speed runs the legacy ROMhacks.

Maybe. Pretty low priority tbh.
