pokejp serves as a dissassembly base, based on the Japanese releases of the Generation 1 Pokémon games. Improves the romhack made by the user MoriyaFaith and fixes various things that weren't in his romhack.
It builds the following ROMs:
- Pokered.gb
- Pokegreen.gb
- Pokeblue.gb
As well as these:
- Pokered_debug.gb
- Pokegreen_debug.gb
- Pokeblue_debug.gb
Download the patches from the Release page, there will be two Zip files: main.zip are the normal patches, debug.zip are the debug patches.
Use a tool like Lunar IPS (for Windows), Rompatcher.js, MultiPatch (for OS X), or UniPatcher (for Android) to apply the patch
These are the roms you should use for each version:
Red
- Pokemon Red (UE) [S][!].gb
sha1: ea9bcae617fdf159b045185467ae58b2e4a48b9a
Green and Blue
- Pokemon Blue (UE) [S][!].gb
sha1: d7037c83e1ae5b39bde3c30787637ba1d4c48ce2
They're based off of the ones made by the pokered project.

In 1996, The original Pocket Monsters Red and Green were released. Later that Year, Pocket Monsters Blue was released as well. In the west, 2 years later, Pokémon Red and Blue were released, using the updated Pocket Monsters Blue as the base engine. A Pokémon game with Pocket Monsters Blue's wild data was never released in Japan. This caused a multitude of changes in the International releases of Red and Blue. This ROM hack serves to create English Versions of those Japanese releases, the closest as possible.
- Any bugs present in the original Red and Green that are not in International Red and Blue are not present and viceversa.
- The Title Screen of Pokemon Red and Green has been changed to the original Japanese release. (Partially)
