Pokémon Extreme Yellow V1.4
If you are using a savefile from V1.0, make sure to NOT save in Rival's House NOR in Route 4.
If you are using a savefile from V1.1 or V1.2, make sure to NOT save in any of the following maps: Secluded Atoll, Route 4, Cerulean City, Fighting Dojo, Safari Meeting Room, Pewter Gym, Vermilion City.
If you are using a savefile from V1.3, make sure to NOT save in any of the following maps: Route 4, Celadon Condominiums.
Whenever you update from an older savefile, it is highly recommended to be able to Fly/Teleport/Dig/Escape Rope your way out of wherever you may end up being, to minimize the risk of glitches.
Also, check every option you set up, as they may be toggled back after updating from an older savefile.
See the main GitHub info page of the project for all details about Extreme Yellow.

Known glitches
All of these are glitches I am aware of, that I want to fix but they are quite tough to deal with and cause little-to-no harm to the gameplay:
- the intro page of the surfing minigame has a random unwanted tile
- after playing the surfing minigame, the surf enthusiast disappears. It re-appears upon exiting and re-entering the building
- when using the Portable PC, some tiles may be glitched, specifically the one representing the level of the Pokémon
- when using the Item Randomization option, the TMs available in the Marts will not correspond to the ones you actually picked up
- the status screen that shows how many Stat Exp points your Pokémon has gained is not perfectly working and sometimes it shows wrong numbers
