Description

This is a rom hack of Pokemon FireRed that I’ve been working on on and off since 2020. I wanted to make the game much more balanced while being a bit harder, more diverse, and more of a designed experience in general. This game was designed to be able to be able to be Nuzlocked blind, though documentation exists as well. Letting the player play how they wanted was always the goal – the player can play this game in many different ways. This hack goes until the first elite four battle!

Philosophically, this hack is Gen 3 at heart – it lacks the physical special split, dumping of random Pokemon from other regions, the fairy type, etc. The game was designed and revamped around the Gen 3 experience. New Pokemon and features exist, but they exist snugly in the Gen 3 environment. Think of this hack as an elevated Gen 3 – there are more powerful Pokemon, moves, and items, however, at heart, it stays true to the base mechanics and design of Gen 3.

Features

  • Many, many Pokemon buffed to make the game balanced. – You can use any Pokemon you want without it being bad.

    • Many Pokemon have improved base stats, movepools, and typings. You can more or less use any Pokemon viably that you get in this game.​
  • Buffed moves: many bad moves like fire spin or cut are now good moves to have in the early/mid and sometimes late game​
  • Alolan, Galarian, & Hisuian forms!

    • They add a bit more diversity into kanto. Also Pokemon related to the originals in some way like Toedscruel, Perrserker, etc.​
  • Later-gen evolutions – Not only can you get Crobat in Kanto, but you can get Magmortar and Leafeon too!​
  • More easily accessible & reusable move tutors​
  • TM/HM Changes & Learnset changes – Pokemon get much better moves than they do originally​
  • Hidden Grottos! The new HM secret power lets you explore hidden grottos which have Pokemon and items.​
  • Leafgreen exclusives are catchable – don’t feel like this is a super FireRed-specific game: all original 151 Pokemon obtainable and more.​
  • More Pokemon and item diversity – you will get a lot of Pokemon that you don’t get in the original​
  • Harder Gym Leaders/Bosses in general – this game features not only more difficult gym leaders (who use a complementary Pokemon or two not in their original type) but also more mini-bosses to keep the game interesting and fun in between gym fights.​
    • Some minibosses based off other games (LGPE, Pokemon Go)​
  • You can do fight Koga, Sabrina, and Blaine in any order! Their teams and levels adjust based on your badge count so you will always fight the right level.​
  • More double battles​
  • In-game help menu was modified to give more info about the game and essentially work as documentation

    • Somewhat of a WIP but provides info on the various changes in the game while also telling the player what the level caps are for Nuzlockes, new bosses, etc.​
  • HMs are not only delectable, but also much more viable in battle and less necessary to get to certain areas​
  • Map changes and new areas – Viridian forest is a great example!​
  • Just much more depth to the original game in general – see stuff like this [late game spoilers!]​
  • Gym leader rematches [WIP]​
  • And much more​
