This hack aims to freshen up the Kanto region by rearranging the plot a bit, as well as adding gen 4 pokes and fakemon, overhauling all of the battles, and basically everything else I listed in the features. I am very open to suggestions, so please don't hesitate to comment if you have an idea. Also please comment if you find ANY mistakes, down to the smallest of misspellings and grammatical errors. I want this hack to be professional, but there is no way I can catch every mistake on my own.
My sincere thanks...

Blizzard is 100% accurate in Hail. (thanks to Jambo51 for ASM help!)
Flare Blitz doesn't have a chance to cause burn, but user only takes 1/4 recoil damage.

The complete game! I'm still making edits, but it is completely playable!
Don't know how to apply an .ips patch? Go
here.
If you cannot save normally (aka, without save states), then
your game will end after you beat the E4 the first time. To fix this, try looking at these links:
