## What it is
A complete assembly-language disassembly of Pokémon Red and Blue for the Game Boy, which can be rebuilt byte-identical into the original ROMs. It serves as a reference and modding base for studying or hacking the game's code.

## Use cases
- rebuild pokemon red and blue roms from source
- study game boy assembly code of a classic game
- create custom rom hacks of pokemon red
- reverse engineer gameboy game internals
- learn gbz80 assembly with a real codebase

## When to choose
- you want to mod or study Pokémon Red/Blue at the machine-code level
- you need a byte-exact, documented reconstruction of the original ROMs

## When to avoid
- you want to play the game rather than build or modify it
- you need a high-level game engine or modern remake

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, compiler, developer-tools
- domain: reverse-engineering, gaming-tools
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: gameboy, assembly, disassembly, pokemon, rom-hacking, gbz80, game-development
