Pokémon Red and Blue

This is an in-progress Esperanto translation of Pokémon Red and Blue, forked from pret's disassembly.

It builds the following ROMs:

• Pokemon Ruga Versio (UE) (Eo).gb sha256: TBA
• Pokemon Blua Versio (UE) (Eo).gb sha256: TBA
• BLUEMONS.GB (debug build) sha256: TBA

To set up the repository, see INSTALL.md.

When the translation is finished, binary patches will be released for the English-language ROMs.

You can help! See the Progress section for what still needs to be done.

Translating names

Pokémon names

There are at least six options for dealing with Pokémon names:

• Use the English names verbatim. The Italian and Spanish ROMs do this.
• Esperantize the English names. Kaifi's Esperanto translation of FireRed does this.
• Esperantize the Japanese names: list
• Use the /u/Gootube2000 names: list
• Use the Lusentoj names: list
• Use the Amika Babilfrenzo names: list
