Pokemon Giga Red ROM

• All Pokémon Gen 1-3 Available.
• Pokémon Gen 4-8 available if you choose to interact with space-time distortions. There will be a person near Viridian who will give you the option to enter or not depending on if you like to have all Pokémon available or if you prefer a narrower, more condensed choice of Pokémon.
• Pokémon re-balancing. Pokemon I thought don’t get a lot of love, like Dewgong, have had stat changes to be more competitive. So don’t be shy to try out new Pokémon and teams.
• New typing for some Pokémon to fit better or balance better, like Blastoise and Chimecho getting Steel type.
• A few new moves with a few changes to damage or effect of some moves to make them more usable (like Rage)
• New Fakemon (from event, or new areas) inspired by the anime and other games in the series, E.g, Crystal Onyx or Shadow Pokémon.
• New Hidden evolutions for some Pokémon. Also added a few of the new Megas (+1 hidden).
• Some redesign of Pokémon and their shinies. (I prefer my shiny Gengar white like Mega Gengar)
• All Legendary and Mythical Pokémon Gen 1-3 Available. Almost all of Gen 4, still to implement them.
• Newish story. Altered some of the main story and now from the perspective of a new trainer a few years after the original Kanto story.
• New boss fights and events. Giovanni and other evil Bosses have a new devious mechanic; you won’t always reset if you lose the fight, try not to lose.
• Stronger teams and harder battles. (I am not competitive, just casual online play from Gen 6-8) So no Kaizo hack, but definitely not a walk in the park. I have not built this Hack with Nuzlocking in mind, but you can certainly try.
• Level Caps. In most cases, they will cap out 2 levels above the boss fight because I don’t want it to be too hard. You can’t cheese it by catching or glitching high-level Pokémon, as they also won’t listen to you if you don’t have enough badges.
• Infinite Rare Candy Machine, if you find the trick to get them for free from the machine.
• All the new items such as EV-IV checker, Nature mints, Ability pills, etc. to create your best Mon.
• Edited existing maps and added new maps.
• New post-game after the Elite Four to partake in on the Sevii Islands.
• Entirely new zone unlocked if you beat me in battle.
• New NPC text and sprites for new NPCs. Make sure you speak to everyone, even trainers; some NPCs have info on new lore and where to find secrets like Mythical encounters
• Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Z moves
• More life in the overworld. Makes it feel more like a Pokémon world.
• New Fakemon from Gatcha machine. Enjoy the unique types, moves, and abilities.
• Strong Pokémon nests.
• Overworld and battle weather.
• Day / Night cycle and timed events.
• Follower Pokémon (unfortunately with some bugs)
• Challenge stadium, my equivalent of the Black and white 2 World Championships. All level 100 Pokémon, mixed challenges, Gauntlets, and even a Pokémon Stadium throwback.
• You can get prizes from the prize shop for completing challenges in the stadium.
• You can battle each individual challenger for practice in the surrounding area.
• You will either need to complete the post-game or follow the ReadMe on GitHub to fight in the Challenge Stadium.

To the Left of Viridian City is where you find the Challenge Stadium. There is a Man in the middle you can speak to to start a Black and White 2 World Championships-style battle. There is another man off to the side who will give you rewards based on which Challenges you have completed.

There are also every max-level trainer battle set around this area where you can practice battles with each trainer if you wish. In this same area is a cave entrance; you can go through here to take you to the move relearner and EV training zone. There is an area on Island 3 that will have all the move tutor moves (excluding some unique ones).

Future Plans

• Clean and finish new added maps as they currently are very bare; just wanted to get working. (More in-depth Dive spots). More puzzles in certain added caves.
• Sort overworld sprite Pallets
• Sort inventory Pokemon palettes.
• Change, edit, add, and upgrade overworld tiles.
• Add the final missing Gen 4 legendary and mythical. Phione, Manaphy, Cresselia, Giratina, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf.
• Add more to the game corner (black jack, voltorb flip)
• Find and fix all bugs.

• Some Characters names don’t show properly in battle.
• Going on spin Pads while FollowerMon are out causes crashing.
• Flying with Follower Mon out will lead to an endless loop if you don’t enter the PokeCenter first. If using Follower Mon, when after using Fly, enter the Pokecenter first to stop the endless loop. If this becomes an issue, you can speak with the girl in Pallet Town to remove FollowerMon. 
• Going up the Escalator in the PokeCenter causes an endless loop. (no need to go here)
• Going on Cycling Road before manually getting on the bike while using FollowerMon causes an endless loop. Get on your bike first, then go onto cycling road.
• All FollowerMon-related issues can be resolved by removing FollowerMon by speaking to the girl in Pallet Town.
