Is it possible to add brand new abilities to Fire Red? I don't mean newer gen abilities, i mean abilities that have never been in any official game before, such as a Fire Absorb ability (A fire equivalent to Water/Volt Absorb).
I know that MrDollSteak added newer gen abilities into his rombase, so it should be possible, right? If so, does anyone know of a tutorial explaining how? I have yet to find one.

ok so basically
abilities are coded in a rather interesting way. they are scattered throughout the battle engine as checks for the ability which then branch off to the effect. they are entirely assembly.
the way that people add them is generally by branching off from a default similar check run at a certain point to include your own effect/check. it's rather tedious, honestly.
