Description

Pokemon FireRed-ish is a moderate difficulty romhack focusing on keeping the vibes of Kanto intact. You’ll find many of the maps slightly changed for gameplay purposes, but they’ll all feel familiar. It was my goal to create a game that was harder than Vanilla, but not so difficult that your average player would fail to complete it.

It was also important to me that the amount of grinding was minimized. You should be able to complete the game without ever fighting a wild Pokemon for exp. There may be enforced level caps, but they stand to dissuade players from trying to out level challenges, instead of outplaying the opponent.

Features

  • Almost every Pokemon from Gen 1-3 is catchable.
  • Every fight is handcrafted for balance.
  • Exp is split between all party members, with a small bonus for having more Pokemon with you.
  • Enforced level caps.
  • Rare Candies let you break the current level cap.
  • Good Candies have been added to allow you to level any Pokemon to your previous level cap.
  • EVs gained from battle have been removed.
  • Vitamins still allow you to gain EVs but have been made stronger and more rare.
  • Restore Kits allow you to fully restore your Pokemon anytime outside of battle.
  • HMs no longer need to be taught to Pokemon to be used.
  • Many dialog changes to watch out for. The Bird Keepers are my personal favorite.
  • Many small map changes.
  • A few larger map changes, Rocket HQ is notable.
  • Lots of double battles.
  • Trainer’s have been split into 2 categories. Mandatory and Optional. Mandatories sit on the critical path and must be fought to progress, they are generally easier. Optionals sit more out of the way and guard useful items, be prepared for a hard fight.
  • I found that the game plays really well with casual Nuzlocke-style catching rules. For those seeking a real challenge, I did manage to get past Misty deathless.
