What makes this game different to some other FireRed ROM hacks like Radical Red?
1. Improved Overworld Exploration
- Many early and some later routes are completely revamped with new NPCs, items, and hidden items.
- Hidden Items are scattered throughout the map under rocks. These can include battle items, berries, Poke Balls, and evolution items.
Example on Route 1:
- 3 rocks with hidden items:
- 1 Protect Pad
- 10 Elixir
- 1 Ultra Ball
- A Mach Bike hidden in the grass in a Poke Ball.
- An NPC tutor teaches Vacuum Wave.
Not all routes are like this, but many offer new secrets to discover.
2. Tougher Trainers & Boss Battles
- Crimson Red isn’t meant to be an “impossible” hack, but it raises the difficulty compared to the base game, making trainers harder without being unfair.
- Gym Leaders have:
- 6 Pokemon
- Full held items
- Diverse movesets
- Advanced AI
- Unique battle music
Some Gym Leaders may even use Pokemon that don’t match their type.
- Fairness is a key focus, especially in the early game. You’ll get a lot of held items to counter enemy Pokemon, many of which are the same items used by the Gym Leaders themselves.
- The difficulty gradually increases, peaking at the 3rd May Battle and the Elite Four.
- Creative Trainer battles – no more easy wins with just one move.
- There’s also a Custom Nuzlocke variant for an extra challenge.
3. Quality of Life Improvements
- You’ll get 120 Rare Candies before facing the first trainer.
- After Brock, you’ll find hundreds more Rare Candies, along with:
- 3 Bikes
- Full Restores
- Max Revives
- Max Elixirs
- A variety of held items from Gen 8.
The Hardcore+ Nuzlocke Variant
Hardcore Nuzlocke Rules:
- Pokemon from overworld Poké Balls (like those from Boss battles) count as your route encounter.
- No Legendaries or Mythicals allowed.
- All Optional Bosses must be fought (they’re not optional in this variant).
- Cerulean Cave is included in the challenge.
- Wipe = Reset: If your team faints, you must restart the game.
