In my mind these are essentially the same thing. Ever since I was a kid playing Red, it annoyed me so much and I still think about it sometimes.

    Nice, I’ll have to look into that one.

    A couple that I’ve been following are:

    • Pokemon Lazarus, an emerald romhack in a new region based on Greece. Lots of custom pixel art for the trees/architecture/terrain and apparently has megas.
    • Pokemon KEP, a red hack that adds some of the original beta Pokemon back in to the game along with regional variants of Kanto Pokemon, and adds a couple new locations/characters/music/features.
    • Pokemon Extreme Yellow which adds in some of the Kanto megas as final evolutions. A bunch of other goodies too such as expanded maps, quality of life stuff, crazy hard puzzles. The creator is trying to implement a bunch of other crazy stuff for an unreleased update including diving mechanics.
