Pokémon Brown
Welcome back to the world of Rijon
Twenty years ago, the first complete Pokémon Red mod to completely change the region and story was released. Since then, it has inspired thousands of creative visions, beautiful games, and kickstarted hundreds of careers. Today, we give the game its biggest update ever, and the love and care it deserves. Play the classic that started it all.
Featuring 231 Pokémon, an updated region to explore, upgraded graphics, new characters, overhauled maps, extra story, modern features, Pokémon Prism integration, and so much more. The twentieth anniversary update adds a level of polish so far unseen with this earliest entry in the Rijon saga. And all still in classic binary!
Brand new region
Explore the region of Rijon, a vast, new and unique landscape.
Choose your trainer

Modern mechanics
