Description

This update of my previous hack Pokémon FireRed v514 serves as a remake of the original Pokémon FireRed with minor story adjustments.

It is not a difficulty hack but aims to provide a fun and casual experience. Main battles offer a slight increase in difficulty compared to the original, enhancing the challenge without overwhelming players. The hack emphasizes replayability with a wide selection of viable Pokémon and starters, alongside enjoyable features, ensuring a fresh experience with each playthrough.
