Pokemon Recharged Yellow (previously known as Pokemon Yellow Cross) is a GBA ROM Hack by Jaizu based on Pokemon Emerald in English. And it is now available to download. It was last updated on April 26, 2025.

Description

It is inspired by Pokémon Yellow with a PSS system, items – moves – skills up to Generation 4, a day-night system, following pokemon, and much more…

This contains the entire game up to the champion, might be incompatible with future saves, with some things missing:

• Finish free space
• Finish pokemon icons for gen 2 and 3
• Let the player unlock the appeal sensor (lets u see Pokémon condition in-game)
• Let the player unlock the stats judge (let’s you see Pokémon iv ranges in-game)
• Let the player unlock the water can (let’s you water berries)
• Block linking in nuzlocke mode
• Improve headbutt encounters
• Add another jessie and james encounter
• More hard mode tweaks and trainer parties

Features

• Pikachu as Starter
• Following Pokemon System
• Fully compatible with vanilla gen 3 games and Pokemon Heliodor!
• Kanto rebuilt in Pokemon Emerald engine, this includes RTC, berries, contests and post-game facilities.
• Pokemon color variation from Pokemon stadium, this is reflected in the followers, party menu and pc boxes!
• Richer Pokemon icons, this reflects the PID of your Pokemon and if they are shiny
• Lots of quality of life features
• Built in hard mode, nuzlocke mode and level cap
• Lots of touches from Let’s Go Pikachu, including Jessie and James.
• Sevii Islands are locked to post-game, they all have new and revamped content
• And lots of more stuff!

What about the Sevii Islands?

• I’m still working on them, they will take a while to get done. Also, please keep your expectations low, will be just some maps with small content on it, nothing wild.

What about translations?

• Working on them, still, they will take a while to get done. Maybe I will switch to just finish one language first and them go with another one and so on, we will see.

What’s needed for the game to be completed?

• Finish Sevii Islands
• Finish Mew event
• Add some roamers/legendaries
• More contest Kanto movesets
• Translations
• Finish Free Space
• Probably small stuff that I’m forgetting

Changelog – What’s New in v1.8.0!

Important Fix

• Opening the “About the Game” menu no longer restarts your Nuzlocke, Challenge Mode, Level Cap, or Extra EXP modes.
  Thanks to @Maya for discovering a way to reproduce the bug!

New Challenger to the Champion Title

• Maya won the contest on how to properly reproduce the long-standing bug.
  She and her Pokémon team have been added to the game as a Champion Title Challenger!

Don’t Miss Those Pokémon Anymore!

• After beating the Champion or defending your Champion title, the following Pokémon will reappear if you don’t have them marked as caught in your Pokédex:
  • Snorlax
  • Articuno
  • Zapdos
  • Moltres
  • Mew
  • Mewtwo

In-Game Achievement System

• Added a new in-game achievements system.
• Achievements are compatible with old saves!
• Earn a star on your Trainer Card if you collect every achievement (replacing an old FRLG mini-game achievement).

Some achievements are NOT compatible with previous saves, but can still be earned again:

• Defend your title vs a Champion Title Challenger
• All achievements related to contests and ribbons
• Talking to an NPC to check your Pokémon’s Hidden Power type
• Number of Eggs hatched
• Number of Berries planted

Achievements will still be registered even if you traded these Pokémon from another game:

• Catch Articuno
• Catch Zapdos
• Catch Moltres
• Catch Mewtwo

Other Changes

• Added held items display to the Pokédex.
• Allowed gaining EVs at Level 100 and with Level Cap active.
• Adjusted how Extra EXP Mode works:
  It now gives less EXP at the start, but scales with your badge count.

Extra EXP Mode Details:

• +25% EXP for enabling Extra EXP Mode
• +10% EXP if Level Cap Mode is enabled
• +20% EXP if Nuzlocke Mode is enabled
• +15% EXP for each badge earned

If all are active and you have all 8 badges, you’ll earn 175% more experience than vanilla games.

• Added Staryu to more fixing locations.

Other Fixes

• Fixed Pokémon types not displaying in the Pokédex.
• Fixed Charizard’s sprite in the Credits scene.
• Various fixes to the Options menu.
• Fixed issues with the follower system, DNS settings, and some fade transitions.
• Fixed Professor Oak’s platform color starting in black.
• Fixed Elite Four/Champion level scaling if you lose against Champion/Title Defender.
• Fixed bugs with Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle trainer NPCs; improved related text.
• Hopefully fixed movement issues on Nugget Bridge.
• Improved some Kanto follower sprites (more improvements coming in future bugfix updates).
