Intro
This is the result of a side-project with the goal of remaking and expanding FireRed to make it possible to complete the Pokédex, progress to level 90+, and have access to most game mechanics and items from generation 3 games. A secondary goal of preserving gen 3 gameplay was important, as I wanted physical copies to be able to interact with main-line Pokémon games with minimal issues.
Changes from FireRed
- routes have been heavily modified in Kanto for a fresh experience as well as to provide access to all Pokémon on the National Dex
- all legendary/mythical Pokémon are accessible in the post-game
- locations detailed in spoiler section
- town/city areas have minor modification
- trainers have been added and modified to have a wide range of Pokémon from the National Dex
- multi-battles, where you fight multiple trainers in succession, have been added
- gym trainers, gym leaders, rival encounters, and elite four matches are all updated for challenging gameplay
- elite trainers from other regions added, with their teams evocative of their instances in other games
- champions can participate in Trainer House matches–randomly match up with an opponent for a competitive doubles battle
- post-game areas added:
