Pokemon Weird Type Fun ROM

Pokemon Weird Type Fun is a simple rom hack with an even simpler concept: to have even series veterans be confused about type matchups. With 18 all new types and a completely reimagined Pokédex to match, WTF makes the ever familiar Kanto a little bit less so.

While WTF sticks mostly to the core FireRed story and structure, some characters and lore has been changed around to keep things fresh. Event only areas (aka Navel Rock and Birth Island) have been made accessible through gameplay and a couple of new locations and small events have been added in.

Features

• All types have been replaced with new alternatives. Type matchups do not mirror original.
• 575 pokémon, assembled from up to Gen 10 (aka I added Pombon, Browt and Gecqua and gave them made up evolutions with a flimsy excuse :p). Also includes some beta pokémon and fakemon.
• Each pokémon has been redesigned to fit its new type (think Fool’s Gold and AlteRed, except more nonsensical)
• Moves and items updated to match the new types
• Mostly faithful Gen III Kanto experience with some new twists and a bit more to do in the post game

Known Bugs

• Female player character’s palette messes up in the opening sequence if you give the rival a custom name. Won’t affect the rest of the game.
• Shrinking sprite also gets pixelated
• Rival’s first optional battle near Viridian doesn’t trigger
• Teachy TV can crash the game when used, hence it is not given out.
• The Fame Checker is messed up, so it is also not given out.
• Giving the items Whipped Dream, Faller Stone, Gemstone, Plain Stone, Shiny Stone, Razor Claw, Hourglass, Sweet Heart, Loud Whistle, Chaos Stone, Premium Gem or Link Cable for pokemon to hold you can end up with some pretty glitchy effects (anything from item duplication to turning boxed pokemon to bad eggs), so play around with that at your own risk 8D
  • They can be used and deposited to the PC like normal as long as they’re not attached to pokémon.
• The move Camouflage has rather nonsensical effects
• Dodydra’s front sprite’s beak does…stuff…when it uses Fusion Dance
• TM icon colours don’t match types in bag
• You can teach a glitch move by moving below “cancel” with the move relearner
• Blackthorn City thinks you’re in the Sevii Islands if you try to fly out
• The Hall of Fame will get the species of some Pokémon wrong (mostly those newly added to this version). It is just a visual bug and doesn’t change your party pokémon or anything.
• The Void type is based on ??? aka typeless. Hence, Void type attacks never use normal damage calculations, as they would not work like they’re supposed to.
• Having all but one of your party pokémon faint in the first battle of the Sevii Elite Four and not reviving at least one before starting the next battle causes an interesting bug to take place. It’s not game or progress breaking, so go have a look if you’re curious 😀
