Welcome to the Progressing Hacks Thread for the FireRed hack named Pokémon: Shadow's Haze. This hack wields a dark story based around the kidnapping of the player's father, and is the player's journey to rescue them, starting with a single partner but ending with many, in the brand new region of Erona. Whilst the story may seem cliché to some, we promise you - our hack is not.

Pokémon Shadow's Haze Version is a hack of Pokémon FireRed.
It has been in work since the 2nd October 2009.

"Just about to turn 14, eh son," your father says to you one day. "Soon I'll give you your first Pokémon and you'll be on adventures that nobody has ever been on before!" Little did he know how true his words were.

As Mewtwo's location is resurfaced by the infamous Team Rocket in the remote region of Erona, Rocket Boss Giovanni will stop at nothing to re-capture his creation. However, unknown to Team Rocket, a new dark team named the Organization is rising up - and it seems Team Rocket have competition, as this new team attempts to capture Mewtwo and any other powerful Pokémon they can get their hands on. However, to settle any tensions, a shaky alliance is formed between the two teams.

However, when you receive a note tied to a Spearow and get your first Pokémon, a whole world of adventure is unlocked...

Travel through the entirely new region of Erona, battling through new landscapes, meeting new friends and foes, joining Trainer Guilds and completing Quests, battling the Erona Elite, a series of elite trainers, and try and save the land from the iron grip of the Team Rocket Organization. Can you live up to legend?
