Pokemon Redcurrant ROM
Pokemon Redcurrant is a Game Boy ROM Hack by TheBlueZangoose based on Pokemon Red. What if Gen 1 had good moves? That's the entire concept of this ROMhack, and what I endeavoured to enable. But, I didn't want the player to not know if something was changed or not. So I made sure everything was changed.

Description
What if Gen 1 had good moves? That’s the entire concept of this ROMhack, and what I endeavoured to enable. But, I didn’t want the player to not know if something was changed or not. So I made sure everything was changed.
Features
This ROMhack has completely removed all 165 original moves and replaced them with 200 brand new moves. Here are the problems I hope this will address:
- Ghost-type has only one STAB move (Lick) and it’s unusably bad
- Dragon-type has literally no STAB moves
- Bug-type moves are very bad and the best Bug-type damage output is on a non-Bug-type!
- There are literally only two Rock-type moves, and one is atrocious!
- Fighting type moves are either bad, or have miniscule distribution, making Fighting-type damage a non-issue
With this ROMhack, each type has a variety of moves, from weak to strong, with (hopefully) no big gaps or ommissions.
Every type has at least 13 moves, with a mix of damage and status moves. I’ve included a spreadsheet which has a list of every move, each Pokémon’s moveset, and their TM learnset.
All TMs have been updated too.
Other features
- Cheat House – found on Route 1, this will give you rare items for free, as well as allowing you to toggle Badge Boosts, stat experience, and level limits
- Trade Stone – evolves Pokémon which used to evolve by trading. Available for free in the Cheat House.
- Fixes which allow previously-broken mechanics (such as Focus Energy)
- Five Counter-type moves (one counters all physical moves, one counters all special moves, and three can counter any move with a guaranteed status effect)
- More helpful failure messages when a move doesn’t work
- Updated dialogue to reflect the new moves, especially any TMs referenced in dialogue
- Game Corner TMs are a lot more affordable
- Gen 1 Miss fixed
- Struggle changed to typeless (can hit ghosts, isn’t resisted by rock)
- All field moves are HMs (inifinite use, can’t be deleted; affects Softboiled, Teleport, Dig) – cannot be learned by levelup
- All HM moves are 50BP moves with 100% accuracy and a unique type
