Pokemon Coastal Version ROM

Explore the Fukala Region, a series of islands to the far west recently discovered by the Pokemon League. As a trainer, your mission is to test out the brand-new Gyms. Discover the secrets of these tropical islands, but be cautious—some inhabitants are hostile towards the Pokemon League and may wish to see it fall.

Pokemon Coastal is a Fire Red ROM hack that stays true to the Gen 3 experience. The only addition from future generations is one Pokemon for a Gym Leader, which becomes available to the player. Apart from this, enjoy the classic FireRed experience in a new region.

Three Legendary Pokemon are also available, hidden off the main path. This hack is challenging and may require grinding at certain points, especially beyond the seventh Gym. However, I believe the difficulty is balanced up to that point. I am not a sprite artist, so I used sprites of established characters to represent new ones.

For example, the Gym Leaders are based on people I know in real life but use sprites from existing Gym Leaders or Elite Four members. Blaine’s sprite represents a character named Azure, and Maxie’s sprite from Emerald is used for Gym Leader #8, which is based on a friend. Keep in mind that these characters are different from the original ones whose sprites are used.
