About
Re-experience Kanto in an all new light! Pokémon RBGenesis aims to recreate the feeling of playing Pokémon Red and Blue on your Gameboy for the first time. Using the colorful art style of the Gen 2 GSC games; Pokémon from gens 1-8, And all new events and characters, Kanto will feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time! RBG ups the expected difficulty of the Kanto region to bring a new challenge to returning players. Search the region for new wild Pokémon encounters based on the Day/Night cycle, or for the various Mega Stones and battle items scattered across the region! Discover all new areas, such as the River Valley, Deep Forest, or Mt. Moon Summit! Become the Champion of the Kanto region in a brand new way, and explore all new mysteries!

(OLD) Version 1.5.1: https://www.mediafire.com/file/19b77zw9qkyumxz/Pokemon_RBGenesis.zip/file
Discord Server: https://discord.gg/j7fjQ6CBke

Pokemon RBGenesis has it's last official release, and I'm opening it up to the community to keep expanding it! RBG+ Is unfortunately, not a finished update like I had originally wanted. Due to changes in my personal life, I don't have any time to be able to work on the project like I used to. So I wanted to share the little bit that I had gotten to to at least get it out to the public. It includes a lot of fixes for issues you guys were having, as well as a lot of really fun new things to explore! The game is still complete from start to finish, it's really just the post game areas that were too ambitious for me to finalize.

However, if you like the project, and have access to RPG Maker XP, you're more than welcome to carry on the project from where I left off! I will open up some more Discord threads for project discussion and will be there to answer any questions you might have. Let's work together to create the ultimate Kanto experience we can!

RBG+ is still compatible with your old save, but I recommend backing up your old save and starting a new game, so you don't miss any of the new events or cause any unintentional soft locks. All the saved game information is stored in the save file "Game. rxdata", in the folder "C:\Users\ USERNAME \AppData\Roaming\ Pokemon RBGenesis ". Simply moving the save file to a folder will store it and the game will make a new save upon loading.

I hope you guys can forgive me for having to abandon the game, and I hope you enjoy the new update!​

Is there a way to change the key bindings so that every time we alt + tab, the speed doesn't get screwed up?

Sorry for the lack of responses everyone! I wasn't getting notified of new messages for some reason.

Yes, F1 will bring up the key binding menu
About to do another playthrough, any client updates expected within the next day or two?
Not within the next few days, no. I'm aiming to make the next update a sizeable one with some larger changes. Ideally, I'm waiting for the kit I used to update to work with Pokemon Essentials v21, but there's no eta on that at the moment.

Started a nuzlocke, and noticed that it doesnt show where you obtained the pokemon. I just have to remember or write it down, but it would be nice if that was displayed in game. gonna ask the disc about what the lvl caps are for the gyms- but me being lazy- i'd appreciate a supported ingame lvl cap, maybe activated by the same candy bag person

Don't worry. We know you're still here so don't need to apologize. See you in next project or update

The new and final update from me is here! RBG+ aimed to fix any remaining issues that arose in the previous 1.5v as well as the addition of more fun events!
The first post has been updated with more details, but I hope you all enjoy this little refresher update!

I'm sad I don't have the time to devote to the project anymore, but if you have the means to make edits to the game, you're welcome to make your own additions! I've opened up a thread in the Discord for discussions if anyone is interested in working with others.

The game uses Taynathan's GSC essentials kit, for anyone looking to find out more about how to make more Gen II content.
