PokéRecomp

PokéRecomp is a native reimplementation of the Generation I and Generation II Pokémon games, including Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Built from scratch using Godot 4 and GDScript, it recreates the original games without relying on an emulator, static recompilation, or a disassembly.

The project offers a native approach to experiencing classic Pokémon adventures, with support for multiple game versions, built-in challenge modes, modifications, and cross-platform save compatibility.

Key Features

• Generation I and II Support: Play supported versions of Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal using the native reimplementation.
• Built with Godot 4: Developed from scratch in GDScript using the Godot game engine.
• Not an Emulator: Reimplements game behavior natively rather than emulating the original hardware or using static recompilation or a disassembly.
• Verified Game Data: Requires your own cartridge dump, which is verified using its SHA-1 hash before use.
• Optimized Data Loading: Game data is decoded once and stored in a cache, helping avoid repeated decoding during subsequent launches.
• Three Challenge Modes: Includes three built-in challenge modes for players looking for different ways to experience the games.
• Mod Support: Supports modifications that can extend or customize the experience.
• Cross-Platform Saves: Use the same save data across supported platforms running PokéRecomp.

Supported Pokémon Games

PokéRecomp focuses on the first two generations of the Pokémon series.

• Pokémon Red
• Pokémon Blue
• Pokémon Yellow
• Pokémon Gold
• Pokémon Silver
• Pokémon Crystal

Actual availability depends on the supported cartridge dump and the current project build.

Game Data Requirements

PokéRecomp does not include the original Pokémon game data. You must supply your own cartridge dump from a legally obtained copy of a supported game.

The supplied data is verified using SHA-1 before being decoded into a local cache. Once the required data has been processed, the game can use the cached version rather than decoding the cartridge dump every time.

The application itself provides the reimplementation, while the original game content must be supplied separately by the user.

Challenge Modes and Modding

The three built-in challenge modes provide additional ways to approach the classic Pokémon games. Mod support also allows players to explore compatible modifications and customize their experience.

Supported modifications and challenge features may depend on the game version and the current release.

Cross-Platform Save Compatibility

PokéRecomp is designed to use the same save data across the platforms it supports. This makes it possible to continue a playthrough on another supported platform without maintaining separate save files for each device, subject to compatibility with the relevant build and game version.
