Pokemon Peak Kanto ROM

Pokemon Peak Kanto is a GBA ROM Hack by YeahPotato based on Pokemon Fire Red in English. It was last updated on May 02, 2024.

Description

Pokemon Peak Kanto aims to be THE peak way to experience the Kanto region and its Pokemon. “Think Kanto Expansion Pak meets Radical Red.”

Features

• ALL KANTO-RELATED POKÉMON including forms & evos. (Yes, all the way up to Annihilape!)

• Added 50+ ‘SEVIIAN’ FORMS to encounter. (Based on existing forms, no Fakemons).

• Complete ENCOUNTER OVERHAUL. Almost ALL POKEMON AVAILABLE by the time you reach Fuschia. (Done to increase the variety of team building options and improve the viability of certain Pokémon by placing them earlier in the game).

• Complete LEARNSET OVERHAULS. (Focused on making all Pokémon viable and with their own niches).

• Significant MOVE STATS UPDATES. (Focused on balancing to make most moves useful at the point they are learned).

• Completely REVAMPED GYM LEADER & BOSS TEAMS. (Focused on creating more engaging and challenging fights that feel like an accomplishment to overcome. Inspired by mainline games, Stadium, TCG sets and the anime).

• Minor MAP CHANGES such as a cut tree in Pallet Town and route back from Mt. Moon to Pewter. (Mostly edited for convenience or to change the availability of Pokémon, eg. getting Tangela earlier).
