Release: Pokémon Brown 6.1 & Brown Tools 6.1

We’re very pleased to announce our first feature update for Pokémon Brown 20th Anniversary Edition: 6.1!

Not to be confused with 6.0.1, a hotfix release we released back in September, this update comes with a few cool new features, including new Move Tutors, multiple quality of life improvements, graphical and map updates, the return of the Old Amber fossil, and a new move: Giga Impact!

We’ve also included over 20 bugfixes, thanks to the massive help from our community. Thank you so much for reporting! Be sure to join our Discord server or use the Bug Report form to alert us to any problems.

Be sure to check out all the new features in the changelog here, or in the changelog.txt file that’s included with the game.

We’ve also updated Brown Tools, a suite of customised tools that allow you edit your copy of Brown. Be sure to download the latest versions of the tools in order to use with 6.1 on the Pokémon Brown page.

Additionally, the ROM Patcher is now included with the download. This means that even if you are offline, you will be able to patch your file. Thank you again to marcrobledo for making this super easy-to-use tool!

As before, please refer to the Readme file on how to update your save files. An extract is below.

If you have played a previous version of Pokémon Brown 20th Anniversary Edition, you can use the same save file in the new version. You can also update from Pokémon Brown 2016 (TPP) and 2014, however in this case we do recommend starting a new game.

To update any save file, you must follow the instructions below.

Please ensure to always BACK UP your save file before attempting!

To safely update, you need to either have Fly, Teleport, Dig or an Escape Rope, then:

1. Save at any location where you can use Fly/Teleport/Dig/Escape Rope.
2. Load your save in Brown 20th Anniversary.
3. Graphics will be glitched, don’t worry. Use Fly/Teleport/Dig/Escape Rope and after warping, you can continue as normal.
