FireRed hack: =)

Welcome to my newest side project, called =)

=) is essentially Pokemon FireRed, but with Black 2/White 2's Challenge Mode applied. Along with a few other things. I made this for my own use, but I decided to post it anyway.

Here are all the features of =) :
*All trainers have higher levels, starting out with +1, and ending with +4 by the Elite Four
*Slightly new Gym Leader teams
*Gym Leaders are now at appropriate level for boss fights
*so is Elite Four
*so is Giovanni
*No more Sandshrew in Brock's Gym
*No more Psychic Pokemon in Koga's Gym
*No more Arbok, Tauros, and Machop family in Giovanni's Gym
*Sevii Islands don't exist
*Moltres can now be found in Victory Road
*You never get the National Dex
*You never get the Vs Seeker, because that's how it was in the original games (*trollface)
*You can complete the Kanto Pokedex. This means you can eventually get both fossils, all 3 starters, both Himtons, multiple Eevees
*Wild Pokemon edited to be loosely based off of the Japanese Blue version (Ditto in Rock Tunnel, Jynx in Seafoam Islands, Lv67 Clefairy in Cerulean cave)
*Some in-game trades changed to what they are in the Japanese Blue version (note some, while others are changed to something completely new I decided)
*The quest reminder thing is removed because it's just dumb
*Gamer is now Gambler
*Font changed to Pokemon Emerald because it looks sexy
*Pokemon now use Ruby/Sapphire sprites because they look crazier that way
*Graveler, Kadabra, Haunter, and Machoke now evolve through Happiness (AKA just train them regularly)

THIS HACK IS COMPLETE.

Also, THIS IS NOT A JOKE HACK.

Have fun!

What's with the title screen ?!

As I explained in the PM, you're going to have to add a few more screenshots; however similar this is to the original FireRed, rules are rules, so you should perhaps post some screenshots showing the different Pokemon sprites being used and basically anything else you changed/added in. They're necessary, even if it might feel there's not much point to it.

I added the extra screenshots. Originally I was going to re-submit the thread with the screenshots because that's what Dr. Fuji said to do, but I thought both you and Fuji decided which thread gets passed (Dr. Fuji didn't accept this at first), but either way the extra screenshots are there now.

It's a smiley face, since that's the name of this hack.

After all, because I added the version exclusives from LeafGreen, this is no longer Pokemon FireRed. But I wasn't going to call it WaterBlue, since I don't see why Blastoise would suddenly get all the attention in this hack. So I'm calling it =), because this is neither FireRed nor LeafGreen. This is basically FireRed + LeafGreen + Challenge Mode + Ruby/Sapphire sprites.

What is "Challenge Mode"? Why not naming it Pokémon Ultimate Version or something like that ? And by saying r/s sprites you mean the overworld or the pokemon sprites ?

I already answered that in the first post.

What's wrong with calling it =) ? Playing my own hacks makes me =)

I would play this if you put the VS Seeker back in D:<

=o

if u can never get the national dex, means u cant reach sevii islands/cant catch johtohoenn pkmn there??

btw does this have the physical/special split implemented?

Look at the features once more... "No Sevii Islands", so they aren't in the game!

And I guess not, as it is likened to the first generation.

As for my opinion, I've not played, but... Eh, my opinion of this is bland. The name really does make it sound like a joke hack, but if you like it, fine by me.

will the sevii islands be included coz without the nationaldex you cannot go to the sevii islands
