Pokemon Red Version: Star Beasts - Meteor Version is a fan-made enhancement for the Game Boy that alters the original game’s mechanics and content. Featuring a completely new Pokedex filled with original creatures called Star Beasts, this version introduces new types, moves, and trainer classes. The game aims to provide a challenging experience while maintaining the nostalgia of Generation 1 Pokémon games.
NOTICE: Meteor Version is very old and out of date, please play the updated Asteroid Version instead: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8776/
Worked on over the course of years, Star Beasts is a Gen 1 dex overhaul and homage to the first generation of Pokémon games.
Started as a passion project to make a playable version of Vast Fame's Shi Kong Xing Shou for English speaking audiences, Star Beasts became its own project with entirely new fakemon designs.
This launch version features:
An entirely new Pokedex, full of new creatures to discover and tame!
Completely overhauled movesets, with plenty of new moves!
The Steel and Dark type!
New types of trainers with different rosters!
Charming new dialogue in the spirit of the Gen 1 classics!
Rebalancing of the game to make it more accessible to newcomers, including plenty of NPCs that give you hints on where to find rare Star Beasts!
And much more!
If you need more information, check out the enclosed readme in the zip file!
All 151 Pokemon have been replaced with entirely new creatures, "Star Beast."
All Star Beast can be caught in-game in one playthrough via one means or another. Their locations are usually not the same as their original game equivalents, though.
Dark and Steel type are here.
Ghost, Bug, and Psychic types now work and interact properly.
The game uses Gen 1-3's attack system, so attacks being physical or special is based on typing. This WILL NOT change.
New evolution stones in Liquid Steel, Holy Soul, and Dark Soul.
There are no trade evolutions any more.
If a trainer can be avoided in any capacity (not talked to or interacted with), there is a chance that trainer may have an unusually powerful team. This is meant to provide a challenge to people that aren't paying attention, as well as spice a playthrough up for Gen 1 veterans.
Several trainer classes have either been replaced or had their team gimmicks diversified.
The difficulty of the game on the whole is a bit harder than vanilla Gen 1, although not substantially so.
All of the Gym Leaders, and several other important trainers, have been replaced.
A lot of new dialogue.
