Hi. Maybe you've seen [my](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1kzgzmj/pok%C3%A9mon_light_pink_version_special_pyukumuku/) [past](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1nrj9gk/pok%C3%A9mon_light_pink_version_special_pyukumuku/) [posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1pg4vhg/pok%C3%A9mon_light_pink_version_special_pyukumuku/) about this hack over 6 months ago. 

Well, it was on hiatus because I could not find any coders. 

BUT, I found one, so the project is back on. However, I still need more than one, or the hack will take way too long to produce. 

Included in this post is the unfinished intro for the hack starring Pyukumuku. 

Here's the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/5ut2p7JVPT) for the hack. 

Here's the old [PokéCommunity post](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/decomps-pok%C3%A9mon-light-pink-version-special-pyukumuku-edition.536516/) for the hack. I haven't updated it, but will be checking it for a bit if anyone applies there. 

Here's the public [Legacy Github repo](https://github.com/KurusuSilver11/PokelightpinkLegacy) for the old build of the hack. It has been discontinued, but has some fakemon and other things we're still going to add to the game. 

Here's some features that will be in Light Pink if things all go well. 

\- Beta Pokémon; Largely from Spaceworld 1997's Gold/Silver Demo, but also few from '99 and other sources. Not part of main game, but postgame. 

\- New Pokémon; Mostly ones the developers themselves added. In other words, Fakemon. 

\- New and Backported moves. Moves ported from other generations include Mirror Coat, Roost, Air Cutter, and way more. 

\- Harder Gyms/E4; I raised the levels and gave them more competent teams. Shouldn't be THAT hard if you grind a little bit in later-game. 

\- Buffed Pokémon stats & movepools; Examples include Pokémon having the later-gen buffed stats like 90 special Butterfree, 100 special Muk, 85 special Wigglytuff (heck yeah); Then there's stuff like Swords Dance Dugtrio, Shadow Claw Gengar, Quiver Dance Butterfree...

\- Archipelago postgame area; Think similar to Sevii but very different. Not much of a story, but new Pokémon and locations to explore. 

\- Betamon postgame area; Reached via Archipelago. I'll explain more on Discord if you want. 

  
As for the technical side of things... (note: most currently unimplemented)

\- 16-bit species index

\- Upgraded text engine to support both English & Japanese

\- Three main big areas (Kanto, Archipelago, Betamon region), compared to Crystal's two (Kanto and Johto)

\- And probably more! Also planning to release a base Pokeyellow build with just the improvements like 16-bit and text engine for others to use.
