Description

Pokemon Coastal is a Fire Red ROM hack that stays true to the Gen 3 experience. The only addition from future generations is one Pokemon for a Gym Leader, which becomes available to the player. Apart from this, enjoy the classic FireRed experience in a new region. Three Legendary Pokemon are also available, hidden off the main path.

Explore the Fukala Region, a series of islands to the far west recently discovered by the Pokemon League. As a trainer, your mission is to test out the brand-new Gyms. Discover the secrets of these tropical islands, but be cautious—some inhabitants are hostile towards the Pokemon League and may wish to see it fall.

This hack is challenging and may require grinding at certain points, especially beyond the seventh Gym. However, I believe the difficulty is balanced up to that point.

I am not a sprite artist, so I used sprites of established characters to represent new ones. For example, the Gym Leaders are based on people I know in real life but use sprites from existing Gym Leaders or Elite Four members. Blaine’s sprite represents a character named Azure, and Maxie’s sprite from Emerald is used for Gym Leader #8, who is based on a friend. Keep in mind that these characters are different from the original ones whose sprites are used.

Story

Welcome to the Fukala Region! Fukala is a region that lies far to the west. It consists of many sparse islands of various sizes. Fukala’s people don’t have a Pokemon League. So Professor Oak has been sent to help build one.

You are Professor Oak’s assistant. His right hand man. You have come with him to Fukala in order to help him set up and test the League. You will help the professor with various research tasks as well.

This adventure will be tough. Although Fukala has no official competitive scene, the challenge of surviving the harsh islands has hardened the people and their Pokemon.

Are you ready?

Change Log

v1.6

Dev Comments: Patch 1.6 is just a small patch that fixes a potential softlock in the 6th Gym and allows you to re-enter the Celebi event if you fly out of it for whatever reason. The documentation will not be updated for this patch so refer to the 1.5 docs. I have also slightly lowered the level curve towards the end of the game. As of right now I am relatively happy with the state that Pokemon Coastal Version is in. So, unless other major bugs or softlocks are brought to my attention, I will be fully focusing on my next project. I’ve started to learn Decomp Hacking using the Pokeemerald Expansion. After that Project I may remake Coastal Version as Coastal Redux, mainly focusing on overhauling the story, but also fixing the abhorrent level curve and adding QOL features.

Fixed a softlock in Gym Six + minor changes
The time stone reappears in it’s original spot so you may re-encounter Celebi if you white out or leave the event for any reason before finishing it.
Slightly lowered the level curve towards the end of the game

v1.5

Side Note: When you load your save after the Elite Four you will appear in New Shore Town and Oak will approach you telling you to go to Nanowatt City. This is the start of a potential Post-Game but is incomplete as of this patch. You can access the lab but nothing will happen after that. Please stay tuned for the V2 patch where that will be complete.
