    So for the last 6 months I was working on a big romhack, but after hitting a dead end I decided to cancel it because I got pissed off, but at least it gave me an idea for a new one. So some days ago I was reading about Japanese Pokémon Blue, this was an update for the original Red and Green and served as the basis for the international Red and Blue versions. Something I noticed about this version is that it changed a few aspects from the originals, all the In-game trades were altered and some wild areas are slightly different (for example: wild Clefairy can be found in Cerulean Cave). I though to myself that it would be cool if I did that but with the GBA remakes, so here it is: Pokémon MarineBlue Version! (I hope no one has done this idea before).

    FEATURES
    • All In-game trades are now based on the ones from Japanese Blue.
    • New wild encounters such as Jynx in Seafoam Islands and Lickitung in the Safari Zone.
    • Game corner prizes were changed.
    • Most Hoenn Pokémon can be caught in the Sevii Islands (except the legendaries and Jirachi).
    • Navel Rock and Birth Island are now accessible.
    • Trade evolutions can be found in the wild. (Only in some postgame areas).

    Possible glitches
    • There's a minor graphical bug on the title screen, I didn't bother to fix it cuz I'm stupid.
    • The second vendor in the Celadon City Prize Corner is glitched: you can buy the Pokémon he sells but your coins are not spent when you do it, I tried to fix it but I only made it worse, so, sorry I guess. The other vendors are fine though.
