Dreams is a hack set in a new region with a new story. The protagonist, a traveling trainer, arrives in the region of Solda. In the small community of Thicket Town, they meet a boy who seeks to live up to his brother, the local gym leader. This is their journey through the region as they meet new characters and strive for the Pokémon League.
This hack is designed with a focus on characters and worldbuilding. Though it tells a linear story, the map is sprinkled with optional areas containing useful items and pokémon to reward exploration.
Patch this to a version 1.0 NTSC FireRed ROM using NUPS.
Post questions to the discord if possible; it's the best way to reach me. Documentation and FAQ are available there.
If you freeze in the first cutscene, try a different emulator.

I'd like to note that I started this project around 7 years ago as a child, and I didn't do any record keeping back then. It's entirely possible that I missed something and someone, which is not my intention at all. Please let me know if you notice something of yours in the hack and I forgot to add you to the credits. I sincerely apologize.
