Description
This is a Pokemon FireRed ROM hack with The goal to make the game more balanced, challenging, and fun, while keeping it flexible for different playstyles. It’s designed to be challenging enough for a Nuzlocke run, but you can play it however you like.
It stays true to the feel of Gen 3, without features like the physical-special split, Fairy type, or Pokemon from other regions. New Pokemon, moves, and items are added, but everything fits within the Gen 3 style and mechanics.
Features
- Many, many pokemon buffed to make the game balanced. – You can use any pokemon you want without it being bad.
- Many pokemon have improved base stats, movepools, and typings. You can more or less use any pokemon viably that you get in this game.
- Buffed moves: many bad moves like fire spin or cut are now good moves to have in the early/mid and sometimes late game
- Alolan, Galarian, & Hisuian forms!
- They add a bit more diversity into kanto. Also pokemon related to the originals in some way like Toedscruel, Perrserker, etc.
- Later gen evolutions – Not only can you get Crobat in Kanto, but you can get Magmortar and Leafeon too!
- More easily accessable & reusable move tutors
- TM/HM Changes & Learnset changes – Pokemon get much better moves than they do originally
- Hidden Grottos! The new HM secret power lets you expore hidden grottos which have pokemon and items.
- Leafgreen exclusives catchable – don’t feel like this is a super firered-specific game: all original 151 pokemon obtainable and more.
- More pokemon and item diversity – you will get a lot of pokemon that you don’t get in the original
- Harder Gym Leaders/Bosses in general – this game features not only more difficult gym leaders (who use a complementary pokemon or two not in their original type) but also more mini-bosses to keep the game interesting and fun in between gym fights.
- Some minibosses based off other games (LGPE, Pokemon Go)
- You can do fight Koga, Sabrina, and Blaine in any order! Their teams and levels adjust based on your badge count so you will always fight the right level.
- More double battles
- In game help menu modified to give more info about the game and essentially work as documentation
- Somewhat of a WIP but provides info on the various changes in the game while also telling the player what the level caps are for nuzlockes, new bosses, etc.
- HMs are not only delectable, but also much more viable in battle and less necessary to get to certain areas
- Map changes and new areas – viridian forrest is a great example!
- Just much more depth to the original game in general – see stuff like this [late game spoilers!]
- Gym leader rematches [WIP]
- And much more
Game Progress
This version includes the main game up to the Elite Four, but the postgame is only partially finished and will be updated later. It’s a public beta, so some content is still in progress.
Game Versions
1/256 Shiny Odds
This version changes the shiny odds to 1 in 256, so shinies are easier to find, but still rare. The original game keeps the odds at 1 in 8192, but this patch gives players a chance to find shinies more often if they want to.
No EVs Patch
This version removes EVs from the game, making it harder for players who want a more challenging experience, like in Nuzlocke runs. Without EVs, battles are more even, so you don’t have an advantage from training stats.
