Differences From Vanilla

How Pokémon Red++ differs from vanilla Pokémon Red: added, buffed, retyped and moveset-changed Pokémon.

Red++ is a Pokémon Red hack, so its Pokémon can be compared directly against the vanilla game's own data. The extracted comparison covers 208 Pokémon:

ChangeCount
Movepool changed
151
Added to the dex
57
Stat buffed
17
Retyped
7
Nerfed
0

Examples from the comparison: Bulbasaur gains Ancient Power, Leaf Blade, Sludge Wave and Healing Light and loses Solar Beam, while Electrode is flagged both buffed and moveset-changed.

A Pokémon with no vanilla counterpart appears as a dex addition rather than as a change, which is why 57 of the 208 are additions.
