Pokemon Fresh Red ROM

Description

This is a simple, old school hack that seeks to give a fresh experience to FireRed. It’s a mild difficulty hack that aims to be slightly more engaging without requiring grinding or becoming a time-sink. As a disclaimer, this isn’t a no-HM hack, a 386 hack, or a physical/special split hack.
