Pokemon Firered Deluxe Hard Mode is supposed to be a harder version of Pokemon FireRed Deluxe. Specifically made for people who thought the original version of FRD was too easy and people are simply looking for a hard game to play. A lot of the trainers were made to have perfect IVs on their mons, and especially the boss trainers, as this time, they aren’t holding back when it comes to their teams.
One last thing I should mention is that this mode still retains FRD’s gimmick of having only Gen 1 pokemon and adjacent forms in the main game, as I feel like adding pokemon from other gens would ruin the purpose of FRD.
I strove for this hack to be as difficult as Blaze Black Volt White 2 Redux on challenge mode, made by Drayano and AphexCubed, and was the main inspiration when making this hack (also took inspiration from Platinum Kaizo, Run & Bun and Null). While a lot of trainers did get improvements to their teams, they still should be relatively easy to beat, while the boss trainers are the real stars of the show.
Well, Hard Mode is made to be a lot more linear for natural difficulty progression (that’s why there are level caps in this as opposed to normal mode). Alternatively, some decisions were made so that you can’t cheese boss trainers as easily, for example:
All of the weather TMs have been moved to the postgame, and any pokemon that had weather-setting moves in their level-up learnsets have been removed, and pokemon that had weather-setting abilities or weather turning off abilities like Cloud have had either buffed or given a different ability to account for this (Flareon had Drought in the normal version and has been given Flame Body instead, with reworked stats to account for this; also, the Psyduck line had Cloud Nine as a secondary ability, and it’s been replaced with Clear Body)
Also, this version doesn’t have any EVs, and shiny odds have been increased to 1/257
