Hello, Welcome back to Ducumon Website and I’m Pokemoner. We will play Pokemon Opti-Y by 212 Thug!

It’s a GBC hack ROM and based on Pokemon Yellow. It’s released a long time in 2018. It’s Feature Hack ROM with All 151 obtainable, Optimisation of Pokémon, New attacks / TMs / boosts to old moves, More challenge. It has version 1.1 but I missed it. If you have it, you can share it via [email protected]

Features:
All 151 obtainable! This seems to be a best-seller among this style of hacks lol. Some are available via in-game trades or other “special” means. Of course, every Pokémon can evolve to its final stage without the need to trade. Even your starter Pikachu evolves (by level). Some Pokémon evolve sooner. Wild Pokémon have been modified with an emphasis on variety. You can get useful Pokémon and varied teams since the beginning (without it being too broken). Check the documentation for full locations.

Optimisation of Pokémon. A good chunk of the Pokémon had their stats boosted or rearranged and learn new and fitting moves/TMs. Some had their type changed for versatility (Kingler Water/ground, etc.), coolness factor (Ninetales Fire/Ghost, etc.) or just correcting what should have been done since the beginning (did you know Golduck wasn’t psychic? Yeah not anymore here). Keep in mind that this is only done for the sake of keeping the game more balanced and bringing Pokémon to their full potential, like Scyther learning decent moves. I’m not trying to break the game, no one had their stats boosted like crazy, except for the weakest ones like Farfetch’d or Porygon (which are decent now). Check the documentation for more on this.

New attacks / TMs / boosts to old moves. I added (let’s say “replaced useless moves”) 23 moves from other gens to the game, as to have offensive bug/ghost/dragon attacks but also expanding the movepools of the Mons. Megahorn, Air Slash, Outrage, Brick Break, Sludge Bomb, Nasty Plot, Drill Run, Outrage… I also edited 30 moves for balance. Egg Bomb is Grass, Gust is Flying, Rock Slide is more accurate, etc. Finally, I changed 19 of the TMs and made most of the useful ones available in stores.

More challenge. The opponents now have higher-leveled Pokémon and varied teams. I never understood why Team Rocket’s roster of Pokémon was pretty much only Zubat and Rattata, they steal Pokémon so they should have access to nearly everything. Also, no-more level 45 unevolved Pokémon, near the middle every opponent’s Pokémon is evolved. The Boss battles are harder now, with them having more Pokémon, varied teams and their own movesets.
Other quirks like: type match-ups now up to date (did you know bug was weak to poison? Not anymore now); new prizes at the Celadon Game Corner ; new in-game trades ; some items like PP Up being sold (at a high price)…

All in all this hack was made by a hardcore Pokémon fan for other hardcore Pokémon fans. If you’re looking for the most technically advanced Yellow hack with the split and repel system and whatnot, this might not be the best for you. But if you want to revisit Yellow with more challenge and fairness, while still keeping the feel old-school, check this out

Bugs:
I only noticed one bug that’s not very annoying but that still should be mentioned: When a Pokémon evolves, its stat become very odd. That is until it gains a level, or is deposited in the computer, where its stats adjust and become normal. I’d be glad to have some help to fix this.

This game is a GBC Hack ROM! It’s Completed in English!
