Pokemon Weird Type Fun ROM

Weird Type Fun is a simple rom hack with an even simpler concept: to have even series veterans be confused about type matchups. With 18 all new types and a completely reimagined Pokédex to match, WTF makes the ever familiar Kanto a little bit less so.

While WTF sticks mostly to the core FireRed story and structure, some characters and lore has been changed around to keep things fresh. Event only areas (aka Navel Rock and Birth Island) have been made accessible through gameplay and a couple of new locations and small events have been added in.

Features

• All types have been replaced with new alternatives. Type matchups do not mirror the original.
• 400-ish Pokémon, assembled from up to gen 9 (thus including Hisui and Paldea). Also includes a couple of beta Pokémon and Fakemon.
• Each pokémon has been redesigned to fit its new type (think Fool’s Gold, except more nonsensical)
• Moves and items updated to match the new types
• Mostly faithful Gen III Kanto experience with some new twists

Known Bugs

• The girl player character’s palette messes up in the opening sequence if you give the rival a custom name. Won’t affect the rest of the game.
• Shrinking sprite also gets pixelated
• Rival walks up to the wrong ball when choosing a starter, gets the right pokémon though
• Rival’s first optional battle near Viridian doesn’t trigger
• Pokédex automatically records some late-game legendaries as seen
• Teachy TV can crash the game when used, hence it is not given out.
• When giving the items Whipped Dream, Faller Stone, Gemstone, Plain Stone, Shiny Stone, Razor Claw, Hourglass, Sweet Heart, Loud Whistle, Chaos Stone, Premium Gem, or Link Cable for Pokemon to hold, you can end up with some pretty glitchy effects (anything from item duplication to turning boxed pokemon to bad eggs). So play around with that at your own risk. These items can be used and deposited to the PC like normal as long as they’re not attached to pokémon.
• Several trainers have pokémon they’re not intended to have, mainly some rival fights
• The move Camouflage has rather nonsensical effects
• Dodydra’s front sprite’s beak does…stuff…when it uses Fusion Dance
• TM icon colors don’t match types in bag
• Void type moves are much weaker than they should be based on their base power

Change Log

V1.93

• Meloetta and Thundurus had their locations listed wrong in documentation. They’re now correct.
• Renamed the documentation file from PokémonLocations to PokédexGuide for clarity
• Halved the time eggs take to hatch for most species, reduced it significantly for the rest
• Rotom, Mimikyu, Poipole and Naganadel can now breed
• Added an extra Shiny Stone to Route 7 and an extra Chaos Stone to Route 16

V1.92

• Kecleon and Kecneon were mistakenly of the Sound type (half and full respectively). They are now Light type as originally intended.
• The move Trampoline had the wrong description, both in attack and TM form. This is now fixed.
• It was possible to get softlocked in the Pokémon Tower when encountering Delibird thanks to the unfortunate combination of not having a Silph Scope and the ability Shadow Tag. To circumvent this, Delibird now only appears on the top floor, which can only be entered after obtaining the Silph Scope.
• Phantump can now be encountered on floors 5 and 6 of Pokémon Tower instead of Delibird. It is quite rare, but lv23 Repel Trick works.
• Updated documentation with above encounter changes
