Elfa Compared To Rubber Maid

Introduction
ran

for over ten years beginning Pokémon and the media ran videojueguiles of the time, rarely, news about the sequel to "Pokemon 2", which would bring new Pokémon, where we had seen the "evolution of Slowbro "(later discover that it was not), Pikablue, etc. etc. etc.
But as we waited anxiously GameFreak brought us a new edition of Pokémon, the third in this part of the world, the fourth in Japan ...

I imagine the Japanese at that time, saying "as another edition of Pokémon the previous three? ". Sounds really frustrating right? But no. Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition , as they called ( Pocket Monster Pikachu in Japan), was not exactly another edition versions Green / Red / Blue already knew memory ... was new, many interesting news ...

Tab
The technical and boring: Yellow
Pokémon is an RPG for the Game Boy system, developed by GameFreak and published by Nintendo , which went sale in Japan on 12 September 1998, more than a year later in America, the first of October 1999 and in Europe, June 16, 2000.


History and Information
Pokémon Yellow , perhaps inadvertently, started a custom games that continues to this day, not counting the exceptions made in the remakes, to take third edition of the versions already known, but with improvements and innovations, as with Crystal , Emerald and Platinum . Personally, I prefer to buy these "expansions" so that, for example, will not buy or White Black or as wait for the "Gray" (as I write this is unknown whether there will be third version and his name, but most likely yes.)

The main reason I took this game was for the popular anime series that was having on those days, and the tendency of it to deviate much from the game. So this year, the programmers decided to make the game much more like the series, even giving them the opportunity (not to say "almost forced") to achieve the same Pokémon that Ash got at the beginning of his adventure.

Therefore, as I said, in this case drove to Red and Blue will not have to as our rival, but we literally Ash and Gary will make theirs.
The story begins as usual, but from the start and we notice differences, as Oak catch a Pikachu very beginning (do not know that there are similarities with the series here), then we will give, as the selfish Gary Eevee steal that, initially, was for us.

Graphics have the odd arrangement, but the major difference are the colors first, and the sprites of Pokémon, as show below, are drawn more closely to the original artworks and the series itself.
The music and gameplay, however, remains exactly the same. Differences

Red / Blue
Well ... many new features we thought at the time, not like now that the third versions bring a lot of difference from the original two.
What I like about this "improvement" is the possibility to get the three starter Pokémon from Kanto meet certain requirements (which may see them in the Extra information Yellow), a more than tempting for any coach. Besides getting Pidgeotto Caterpie and early in the game at good levels and the initial Pikachu, as I said before, the game almost forces us to have exactly the same team of Ash.
As also mentioned above, the main difference is graphics, as well as color, sprites of the 151 creatures that, beyond being more faithful to the original style are quite rare.

Some curious and interesting events make it stand out over Red / Blue , as the locations certain Pokémon (Mankey at the beginning of the game was something that surprised me), a change of characters and the unique appearance and star of Team Rocket, more specifically, Jessie and James, who appear more than once in the game, Curiously, use a Meowth to fight.

Other appearances will see the coach that I do not know if you recall, in early episodes, had a record of battles using a Sandshrew and to finish, an excellent mini-game that we'll use Pikachu, who will surf the waves, called Pikachu's Beach , whose information also found in the Extra information correspondence to this issue.

There are also some new tedious, as the inability to Pikachu to evolve to be more faithful to the series, making it tedious having to go Raichu from other editions to complete the Pokedex .
Finally, the curious ability to interact with Pikachu in any part of the game, which will show your mood and hear (though somewhat inaudible) his signature call of the series (digitized, it has become known instead of cry games), and other details well as the presence of Chansey in the official PokéCenter and Jenny, who gives us the "Squirtle causing problems" ...



original artwork I have understood that the original artwork for Pokémon Yellow the same as previous editions, as the game manual does not show differences in them.

Examples Sprites

As mentioned above, the sprites have changed considerably, much improved over the daubs of Red and Blue , despite the back sprites are still the same. Still, I must admit that I felt nostalgic itch and some sprites of the first I still love issues. Here are some examples of Sprites Pokemon yellow version.

(the sprite Exeggutor be reused in Pokémon Gold )


Conclusions In conclusion, if you are holder of editing Red or Blue , I do not agree to repurchase the Yellow , ie because their news is not so much as to make the purchase required. Still, it's an interesting piece for the collection and offers a very attractive option compared to the history of the first editions.

Personally, I prefer versions Red and Blue , for the nostalgic factor they provide. Still, Pokémon Yellow still a different game, interesting, novel, and the first of many "reissues" that would come in the future, improving the versions already known.

worth Hacks: Pokemon Brown

Introduction In the world of web hacks can find all kinds of Pokémon. Some, like the OIA (the Orange Islands) and said are characterized by being simple, and very far-fetched, worked the most to offer, with little, a great result. Others Quartz as are game-changing stuff, like Pokémon, but still noticed similarities with the original games. But others, like the one I will discuss today, which passes the boundaries, innovate in quantity, creating a totally new and different map and the best, and never seen before, adding more Pokémon in the number of the original game, making surprises are more than welcome.

Pokémon Brown is a hack done by a team that is working on its sequel, following the process I'm eager to finish it.
I had long had played this hack of Pokémon Red , and had left him. As was told, sometimes under hacks in quantity and end up disappointed. But recently I found the hack end, the truth that the work done on this Pokémon Red is great.

Technical Aspects

Pokémon Brown's story does not know, but it really does not seem to have it. The game takes place in an entirely new region called Rijon, located south of Johto, where you can even travel to familiar places and bring some surprises. Authors
not know much, just having a blog to tell how they progress in two other projects: Rijon Adventures, the GBA, and Amatist a Gold hack calling my attention.



best thing I liked about these games were really outstanding three aspects:
The first, the visual. They really did an excellent job of making a selection of sprites from various games, giving the hack a great variety. With the stunning visual sprites also added back, 100% improved over the original Pokemon Red, including a coach FireRed and LeafGreen excellently edited in 8 bits, as with the new Pokemon Editions later.
Now that I appointed, step to the second aspect, the extended PokéDex.

really surprised me, did not know you could extend the number of Pokes in the game, and seeing pokes belonging to other games I thought I had made the typical erase some to sell another, but no. You can find pokes from other regions and their evolution, making appearances until a few monsters of the fourth generation, as Magmortar Magnezone and .

Another excellent, I put in the same bag as this is the fact that some new items as the "Trade Stone "or the improvement allows us to evolve Porygon pokes like Kadabra or without the need for connection through the Link Cable.

formidable The third aspect of the game, even a small detail I loved, is the appearance of Johto in it, and the possibility to visit some zones as ** SPOILERS ** Caesar's people, Azalea Village, Slowpoke Well, the oak and a brief visit to the gym Anton / Bugsy who will give us a poke to beat (the equivalent neighbor GYM Sabrina, the Karate Dojo in the original games) . ** End of spoiler s **

The bad
few bad things I've found this hack. Obviously, I tolerate all kinds of errors and bugs that it may have (such as the purification zone Haunted Forest), but they are forgivable because of the difficulty involved in carrying out such work. Some maps may have been better made, but the work done with the game in general opaque all odds.

Conclusions

Brown is one of the best hacks I've tried so far, along with the OIA already mentioned, because they were games that could surprise in many ways, and even make it look really we're playing to a totally new and different version of the old Pokémon games. Obviously, we will see events similar to those of Red and Blue , yet in some cases are arranged to have something different. Download the rom and play one, because it really worthwhile. There are hacks like this every day.

Beta Info Gold / Silver / Crystal

no doubt that writing about all those features games Pokémon Red / Blue / Yellow that no were included in the final version (beta features of these versions ) aroused great interest in me, and I kept investigating.

Today I present the information beta editions Gold / Silver and Cristal, of which the first two have much to offer.

beta versions unfinished Gold and Silver are perhaps the best known, as these games went through many changes as they unfolded. It appears that these two versions are based on the codification of Pokémon Yellow . So we started:

The first mention of "Pokemon 2"

So they called these games in the beginning: " Pokémon 2: Gold and Silver " ie, a direct sequel to the first versions , which had been working since 1997 and had planned to be launched later that year.

Four of the first Pokémon to be shown are the ones you see in the picture below. Because of their color, you might think that these games were originally to be for Monochrome and Super Game Boy Game Boy, and during its development it was decided to make for Game Boy Color.

of the first characteristics to be discussed, there was talk of a skateboard star that would allow access to certain places, which was deleted at the end, if there ever was and that is why I think Gold , the character of the manga, has one. Other data itself remained in the final version due in early development was the presence of a hundred new pokes, real time clock, turns and pokes preevoluciones of old and new MT's and MO's.

Other data given by the anime provided the possible existence of new versions or expansions in the number of monsters, as the appearance Ho-oh in the first chapter, the birth of Togepi later, and many other players to remember.


The first images
They confirm what I said a while ago, the fact that catches are not as full color images of the final game, so these games shows that initially would be for Super Game Boy.
images, as you can see, there are many divergent views in the first generation.

Leaving a large building.

What seemed to be the original town, with houses with fireplaces.

Graphics unused, as the poster, showing a game that was visually more rustic, and graphics of the trees behind the houses were really good.

One route, which they say was driving the National Park.

A sophisticated city with a strange building that could be the original Radio Tower.

The backpack, which was shown to be divided into different pockets to store different things.

The announcement of Pokemon Gold & Silver

logo changed, and the year 1997 happened. The launch date agreed by the developers changed and there were no more news until next year when they announced Pokémon Gold & Silver, and without the "2", and attention to these games was overshadowed by the departure of the versions Yellow in Japan and Red and Blue in America, adding the anime in America ... the coaches were distracted.

New information was emerging
After almost a year without any news about these games, Nintendo's official site updated with new information a new release date (June 1999) and the statement that these games are compatible with the Game Boy Color launched soon.

other hand, displayed new original artworks Slowking, Marill , Bellossom and Hoothoot , plus some pictures of the battles that had not appeared so far.

images battles are almost equal to the finals, but one may note the absence of the sex of the Pokémon.

The title of the prototype stage.

The final title scene.

A fight against Togepi.

And a picture of the PokéDex of Slowking, curiously says there is still no information on this Pokémon, or rather, who was investigating the new Pokémon.

eggs also appeared to be planned from the beginning, but these were quite different to how we come to know.

the leap into the Game Boy Color
Then it was decided to launch this game for Game Boy Color, some pictures were released showing all its colors. While the sites are recognizable, you may notice a few differences:



game Waste
When completed, the game continued to have situations, features and places that ultimately were not used, villages, etc.. One of the most curious maps is the Safari Zone, despite not contain Pokémon inside, you can see a great reduction in size. Other locations listed PokéGear internal as well as the Safari Zone, shows the Green Forest, Cave Celeste (or Dungeon Rare) and Pokemon Mansion, so you might think that these places were going to be at first. Other sites include pharmacy Ecruteak, which eventually was removed.


(remnants of the existing Safari Zone games)

appears that the Cinnamon Island volcano would not erupt because there are maps of the island laboratory, and many other events that I could not fully understand.

Above all, the game contains various amounts of text without using, as one that refers to the sweet honey, it looked like they intended to use in these versions, and would end up appearing in the games of the fourth generation (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum). It also seems that he could put a name to our mother in a draft and would have space for placing two names.

Type "bird" referred to in Article of the betas Red and Blue also kept in these games of the second generation. Codes can also be found that refer to Map of Towns and the Poké Flute, called "Teru-Sama" in the games, impossible to be used.

Coach Coach House Green City contain two teams, which would be equal to those already known but in different evolutionary stages of initial Johto pokes.
There are other data without using sprites (I could not see) and melodies (that also I could hear). However, there is an event related to the Burned Tower, a lost child, who may have been changed by the loss of the SS Aqua girl.

more beta maps can be viewed on the publishers of the games are around the net, and many of them are great, and even seem to towns and cities known:

And finally, the one I liked and called attention, a town completely erased, gym and all, probably located in the Lake of Rage.


known Pokémon primitive designs.
I know that look fake, but I've seen that confirms a lot about the veracity of these Pokémon:

From left to right, we could see early versions or sketches (above) Chikorita, and a poke Qwilfish unknown and (bottom) like a Marill, another "Raichu" Fire and GIRAFARIG.
will clamp this information, but I saw on a page "reliable." Chikorita, the unknown and poke "Raichu" I mentioned might be the sketches of future starters in those games, of which only Chikorita that would be redesigned.

A totally unknown turtle

Stranger "Clefairy" who say it could be a sketch of Hitmontop.

Tyranitar Sketch, with several differences (such as arms, the color of his belly, etc.).

Finally, in this video, between 1:58 and 2:05 minutes seven seconds you can see Pokémon beta 2 in motion:



And images I've collected, coaches and conceptual art:


Another female character in Crystal
Unfortunately, I found a bigger picture and more information about this:


Picture shows the map Town of PokéCenter Trigal, a little different from what would be really in the final version.
But the interesting thing is the right side, which shows the female character, or rather, the prototype of it, which shows a totally different girl Crystal we all know. Who knows maybe it's for the girl's picture above.

And that was it. I hope the article has seemed interesting, and I hope one day reveal more and more of these details. Greetings!
