Pokemon Legendary Red is a Pokemon GBA Rom Hack by its_bme based on Pokemon Fire Red. The idea of this romhack was not to make the game miserably difficult for the sake of showing off how difficult I could make the game, but to create in my mind an ideal version of the game that makes it challenging while still being fair and making sense.

Description

Pokemon Legendary Red is pretty much the base game, but with more of a challenge as you get farther in the game. Don’t worry, though, it’s not made to make you pull your hair out. The idea of this romhack was not to make the game miserably difficult for the sake of showing off how difficult I could make the game, but to create in my mind an ideal version of the game that makes it challenging while still being fair and making sense.

Features

  • Some Pokémon sprites have been changed.
  • All gen 1 Pokémon that normally evolve by trade evolve at level 36.
  • All gen 1 and 2 Pokémon that normally evolve by trade with an item attached all now evolve by Sun Stone.
  • Eevee evolves into Espeon with the Sun Stone. To obtain Umbreon, a Moon Stone must be used on Espeon. I did this instead of making Eevee evolve by Moon Stone to keep players from getting Umbreon too early. To make up for this, on Seven Island I have made them for sale in the PokeMart on Seven Island.
  • Moon Stone is purchasable from Celadon Dept. Store.
  • Also Purchasable from Celadon Dept. Store are notable TMs such as Water Pulse, Psychic and many other popular TMs.
  • Leaf Green Version exclusive Pokémon are now obtainable in Fire Red.
  • Locations such as Power Plant and Seafoam Island have wild encounters more in line with the first games.
  • Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are catchable in one area each. Bulbasaur is at grassy patch across the water to the left of Nugget Bridge, Charmander in the grass by Bill’s house and Squirtle on Route 11.
  • TMs are still limited use. (In my version I am unable to make them unlimited, sorry)
  • Many of the maps have been changed slightly to make them more interesting to travel through and to decrease the need for HM moves.
  • In later areas, the levels of wild Pokémon are much higher to help with gaining experience faster.
  • While the trainers earlier in the game are mostly the same levels you encounter in the normal game and have basic AI and basic movesets, later on their levels are noticeably higher and have better AI and start having more complete teams with TMs being taught and some even having items attached. Also note after the SS Anne Rival encounter, his team levels in subsequent encounters are quite higher and he starts using TMs as well. This goes for the Elite Four and other Boss characters.
  • All Gym Leaders have changed teams. Also, the first 4 Gym Leaders have 3 Pokémon, with the final Gym Leader having a full team of 6. All Gym Leaders also have improved AI.
  • The Elite Four are also much tougher, with all members having a full team along with their improved AI.
  • Completing the quest that unblocks Cerulean Cave also unblocks a special area, which you might notice the entrance to when going to Victory Road. You can probably guess what that is, but I will let you find out for yourself.

Changelog

V1.1.4

  • Resolved all issues from all previous versions
  • Evolution Changes to Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, Haunter, Poliwhirl, Slowpoke, Onix, Scyther, Seadra, Porygon, and Eevee.

V1.1.3

  • Changed 1 trainer on SS Anne to better reflect their lore.
  • Added TMs to Celadon Dept. Store
  • Changed all Gen 1 Pokémon that evolve by trade w/ item to evolve by using Sun Stone.
  • Changed wild encounters in Seafoam Island and Pokémon Mansion to better reflect Gen 1 games.

V1.1.2

  • The previous version had an issue. Trying to make TMs unlimited caused using items outside of battle to freeze the game. I changed the values back to what they were for those sections, and it totally fixed the issue. So, sadly, in this version, TMs will not be unlimited! I apologize for that.
