Pokemon Faria ROM

Pokemon Faria is a GBA ROM Hack by Ricardo de Faria based on Pokemon Fire Red in English. It was last updated on October 09, 2021.

Description

The story and gameplay are the same as the original Pokémon game, with some new features and changes done along the way, like a new storyline on top of the main one, a new rival as the antagonist and Sandshrew as the hero. The starters have been changed and the difficulty of the game has been increased, so trainers, your main rival, gym leaders and the Elite Four will have different teams and strategies.

The Pokémon on the wild will change as you progress the game and find new areas, so it’s possible to catch ‘em all (386 Pokémon + Riolo & Lucario + Giratina Origin Form) through one entire playthrough, as long as you finish the new storyline.
