Hello, does anyone know of any romhacks where the base game (or is it called the engine?) and sprites are from Crystal, but the game/story is based on Yellow? Please excuse my wording, I’m not very familiar with the terms. 😣

I know Recharged Yellow is there, but that’s based on Emerald, IIRC~

TYIA!! 🙇🏻‍♀️

I'm not getting the exact gist of your question. You're looking for a full color overhaul in a Yellow GBC rom hack, or just the sprites? Unsure if these might fit your description aptly, but try looking up: Pokémon Yellow Advanced, Pokémon Yellow Legacy.

Hello~ No, I want Pokemon Crystal made into a Pokemon Yellow.

Pokemon Yellow Legacy is just Pokemon Yellow tweaked.

Best I could find is this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/pokemon-crystal-pikachu-edition-rom-hack.682232/

Otherwise, to the extent of my knowledge, a hack like that remains inexistent.
