About This ROM Hack
Cam's Yellow Decapitalization+ is about as focused as a hack gets — it updates the text in Pokémon Yellow, and that's pretty much it.All the shouting-in-capitals from the original gets brought down to standard sentence casing, and certain move names, item names, and proper nouns are updated to match modern spellings. Things like PARLYZ HEAL becoming Paralyze Heal, PROF.OAK becoming Prof. Oak, or VICEGRIP becoming Vise Grip. Small changes, but they make the game noticeably easier to read.
Gameplay is completely untouched — it's still Yellow, just with text that doesn't feel like it's yelling at you. The creator notes some spots may have been missed, so it's not guaranteed to be exhaustive, but the bulk of it is covered.
Key Features
- Text Decapitalization: All capitalized words are converted to a standard readable format.
- Modernized Spellings: Moves, items, and names are updated to contemporary conventions.
- Vanilla Gameplay: No changes to mechanics, Pokémon, or encounters.
Known Bugs & Issues
- Some words may have been missed and remain fully capitalized. Players are encouraged to report any oversights.
