Pokemon Roaring Red - Challenge Mode ROM

Pokemon Roaring Red – Challenge Mode is a quality-of-life hack that adds many features. It features all 386 Pokémon that are catchable, Physical/Special Split, Fairy Type added, every major boss battle has been revamped to include Pokémon from all generations, increased difficulty, all moves have been rebalanced, and much more! The difficulty is much more akin to a difficulty hack.

Challenge Mode Features

• Each Gym Leader has 6 Pokémon, and include much more diverse teams and strategies (with some leaders even having Legendary Pokémon as you go on)
• Most Routes will end with a “Route Boss” that will block progression until you beat them, these trainers have difficulty much like the regular boss fights
• There are still no ways to perfect IV’s or change natures, you will be rolling with the Pokémon you catch!
• Challenge mode can be played casually as a more difficult experience but will be especially challenging to nuzlocke I think!

Roaring Red Features

• All 386 Pokemon are Catchable, including all legendaries.
• Physical/Special Split Introduced.
• Fairy Type Introduced.
• Every major boss battle has been revamped to include Pokemon from all generations and include some more type diversity, with the difficulty ramped up a bit.
• Every single Pokemon has received a curated moveset and many Pokémon received stat buffs, type changes and ability changes. (With my personal rule of rebalancing being no fully evolved Pokemon should have less than 430 BST)
• Every single area has received rebalanced encounter tables, with some areas getting wild encounters that didn’t have them before.
• Expanded Postgame in the Sevii Islands with every fight there being much more difficult with many new boss battles in the postgame, including new Gym Leader Rematches on Seven Island!
• All moves have been rebalanced, with many new moves being introduced as well as moves from newer generations being brought back.
• Ability to view your teams’ EVS/IVS/Happiness/Hidden and Secret Power Types by simply pressing A on their stat screen in the summary!
• Some healing items and berries being rebalanced to make them much more impactful at all stages of the game.
• Shiny rate is 1/1000
• Resprited the overworld map and Pokemon Sprites, including new trainer sprites for boss battles.
