Yellow hack: - Pokémon Pink 'n Purple: Hatenna & Sneasel Edition (2025)

Pokémon Pink 'n Purple: Hatenna & Sneasel Edition replaces the following Pikachu with Hatenna and Sneasel, respectively. All associated sprites, graphics, text, and sounds for Pikachu have also been edited to represent Hatenna and Sneasel. This hack stays faithful to the original, with only minor changes to the gameplay for convenience. It's quite literally "Pokémon Yellow, but with a Hatenna/Sneasel".

This ROM hack was inspired by Pokémon Yellow: Cramorant Edition.

If they are like Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow, then I assume no

Nah they don't evolve at all. Hatenna has had a stat buff across the board tho, to keep it viable throughout the entire game

this hack looks fire! though, i just checked the changelog and it looks like hatenna is way weaker than the normal pokemon despite already having buffs to its stats, like as a starter that can't evolve similar to pikachu, being weaker than stuff like pidgeotto just makes it kinda unusable

In my own experiences it held up pretty well, but if more people share this opinion I'll give it a few more stat boosts. I don't wanna make it too strong, because buffing the special also makes it tankier.

Topia says thank you for putting her in the game and as the mascot no less <3

Hey is it possible to catch the other pokemon in the opposite game like getting a Hattena in Purple version and Sneasel in Pink? And same note are wild hattena and Sneasel available in wild to evolve?

No, you can't catch them in the other version. There are no wild Sneasel or Hatenna, but I might consider that (very very maybe)

I only ask cause the hyper nerd in me wants to see a totally complete dex with bothof their full evo fams

since this game is inspired by the cramorant edition hack, I wonder if a CD player item or similar key item will be added into future versions of Pink 'n Purple: Hatenna & Sneasel Edition, where it allows playing & listening to the music tracks (aka. sound/music test) - the cd player item was included in v1.2 of cramorant edition

Added CD Player key item. Is used to listen to every music track in the game.

Currently not, but I think that's a cool thing to implement
