Playing the original Pit of 100 Trials first is advised (but not necessary), as it teaches the player on how the entire concept of a pit of 100 trials works.
"Infernal Pit of 100 Trials" is a alternate version of the normal "Pit of 100 Trials", with the main focus of the hack being an increased difficulty. It has the bugfixes, grammar fixes and quality of life changes that were introduced in the 1.2 patch of the original hack. It fixes some of the more severe exploits of the original hack, changes opponent teams to be more dangerous and evens the playing field between the opponent pokemon and player pokemon.
This hack is mainly targeted to people who enjoyed the original Pit of 100 Trials and want an alternative challenge. Due to the changes, some strategies are nowhere nearly as effective as they used to be, making the experience different enough to not fell the same in terms of teambuiliding and battling. The tips and the opponent team chart for the original hack may not apply for this version.
Change list:
Spoiler:
-Features all the quality of life changes, grammar fixes and bugfixes that were introduced in the "Pit of 100 Trials 1.2" version (except the Endure move tutor (read further to see explanation on why))
1.2 changes present here:
-Player can no longer gain EVs on their Pokemon. Neither by Vitamins, nor wild battles
-All wild Pokemon have 31 IVs in all stats (to make catching team members faster)
-Hidden Power TM replaced with Endure (this is due to the IV change, breaking the function of Hidden Power completely in this version)
-Blissey no longer learns Softboiled and the move was replaced by Recover (due to Blissey having enormous HP and also being able to take hits from special attackers for almost free, it was way too good at fully healing your entire team in between battles with very little resources lost. This doesn't nerf its battle capabilities whatsoever)
-Your entire team is automatically fully healed before entering the pit
-A story continuation of the previous pit of 100 trials (yes, it did have a story)
-For all of you who know where to find the easter egg, it now has a new reward for finding it and finishing the pit (but might also be quite meaner in some ways to obtain)
BATTLE CHANGES
-Boss trainers that were redundant type specialists were replaced with different boss trainers
-All opponent trainers use custom, more optimal movesets and have some changed team members
-Healing items can't be used in battle
ITEM/SHOP CHANGES
-No money is gained on winning trainer battles
-Shopkeepers with basic healing items (Potions, Ethers, Elixirs and Revives) are found inside the pit itself (so no need to 100% fully prepare before entering the pit)
-Soul Dew cost massively increased
-Choice Band cost increased
1.2 changes present here:
Spoiler:
-Bugfixes and grammar corrections
-Vermilion City trash can puzzle is automatically solved

A little background on the development of the hack
Spoiler:
If you don't know already, for every April 1st, ever since I started hacking, I released a small joke hack. The first one was simple and very uninteresting, the second one was creative but also somewhat lazy.
This year, I was thinking of creating a hack where all your Pokemon are pernamently poisoned (it seems that the world wanted it to happen, since it would line up with the recent events). But it turned out that it doesn't provide any tension or anything, as I hoped. It just becomes a more tedious Fire Red, where it's harder to get levels and you run out of money to beat the Elite Four at the end of the hack. LAME!
Thankfully, I still had time to make this instead. Sadly, it isn't a joke hack.

Thankfully, I still had time to make this instead. Sadly, it isn't a joke hack.
Introduction
This hack takes the concept that was introduced in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where there is a challenge area (The pit of 100 trials). There, you have to battle 100 different enemies that appear all throughout the game, with progressing difficulty and it has a superboss and a reward at the end.
While this hack doesn't exactly have a pit in the literal sense, I think the name still fits for what it tries to accomplish.
In this hack you can easily get yourself any team of Pokemon you want, EV train them almost instantly and battle 100 battles that represent the progression throughout Fire Red.
For example, you start with battling Bug Catchers, then you battle Youngsters, then Brock, then Rocket Grunts in Mt. Moon, then Nugget Bridge trainers, etc.
Of course these trainers are only the same by the type of Pokemon they use. Their Pokemon are all level 100 and can be from any Generation from 1-3.
You battle these types of trainers up to a certain point. The final 10 trainers are all a bit more special.
Features
- 2 versions of the hack: a Normal version and the Double battles version
- 100 level 100 trainers to battle in a row
- All "balanced" fully evolved Pokemon easily catchable + some non-fully evolved ones
- Easy EV training (just give 4 vitamins of a single type to max out a single stat (for example, 4 PROTEINs will give 252 ATK EVs in total))
- Move Tutor that can teach almost any non-TM move
- Buy the items you want for the pit with limited money. Spend carefully!
- A loss is a GAME OVER!
- A different story. A barebones one, but a story nonetheless
- With the hack releasing close to Easter, of course it has to have an easter egg
- You get more money to buy items in the Double battle version, since it can be quite harder at times
How the hacks works
Spoiler:
You start by getting 50 Masterballs (check your PC) , 1 copy of every TM in the game and catch yourself a team of Pokemon that you want.
You can only catch fully evolved Pokemon that are allowed in the Emerald Battle Frontier, others are not avaliable.
You can then use the Move Tutor and TMs (remember, only 1 copy of each TM) to make their movesets better.
The Move Tutor can teach your Pokemon any move that they can learn in Fire Red, including egg moves and other Move Tutor moves (except for some useless moves + some Pokemon get elemental punches that they could only get in Emerald otherwise).
The Dept. Store has access to free Master Balls, free Big Mushrooms (for the Move Tutor), free Vitamins (that can easily max out EVs) and many items that you will need in the pit.
It is important to buy items wisely since money is limited, or you could not even have a chance of clearing "the pit".
Once you enter "the pit", you cannot exit.
Every regular trainer has 2 Pokemon. Trainers that were story important in Fire Red can have more than that.
You can heal in between battles by using your items.
If you lose a battle it's game over, and you either have to reload your save or start a new game with a different team and items.

Bonus challenge (that is more true to the original Paper Mario pit) for those feeling like it:
Spoiler:
Anyone can beat this by saving and reloading between each battle, to have a good outcome. But can you beat it froms start to finish without reloading? It is possible, however it probably won't be easily doable in the first try. After about 4 test runs I could memorize what the team for most of the trainers is, so I could prepare accordingly for them and know which tactics work on specific Pokemon (on both single and double version of the hack). But because I know how short the attention span is these days, you can check out this chart that shows all the Pokemon that the trainers have. Be warned that you still might have to learn which stategies work best on some Pokemon:
Also don't check this out if you don't wanna get a bit spoiled

These next trainers are a bit special, so they are extra spoilery:
Of course, the final trainer has to have an additional spoiler warning:

Spoiler:
- Speed and Attack/Special Attack are the most important stats
- Choice Band OP
- You can sell TMs that you won't use for some extra money.
- You can save TMs for the pit and teach them at the point when you actually need them
- Talk to the NPCs. They have some tips on their own
- Having multiple moves with the same STAB can be useful for having more PP for a move type
- Don't teach TMs to Pokemon before you check the Move Tutor. TMs are one use only, Move Tutor is infinite
- Try to at least have a nature that raises a good stat for your Pokemon
- Having a good mix of Potions, Ethers/Elixirs and Revives is cruical
- Even if Revives are expensive, they are probably the most important items. Don't be a cheapskate!
- Just because the item is more expensive than others, doesn't mean that you will have a better use for it!

Special changes
Spoiler:
- Return now has 102 base power at all times (Frustration is unchanged)
- Pickup is gone
- Payday gives no money
- Some useless moves cannot be learned by the Move Tutor (that's because the Tutor can only have 18 moves to learn at the same time. Pokemon with very big movesets were otherwise unable to learn some moves that they should)
- Scyther, Onix, Pikachu and Clamperl are catchable along with all the other fully evolved Pokemon
- Pickup is gone

- Scyther, Onix, Pikachu and Clamperl are catchable along with all the other fully evolved Pokemon
Known bugs/oddities:
Spoiler:
- Free items can only be bought 1 at a time, so it can take a while. Use dispensers to get some of those items faster
- If you play the Double battle version and have only 1 Pokemon alive in your party, the battles will be somewhat glitched, with you having 2 copies of the same Pokemon on your side, however if one of them faints, you lose the entire battle
