Red hack: Pokemon Chroma Version (Public Alpha 2.5 Released!)

Serhatisb · Mar 4, 2017

I'm making a revamped version of this romhack. Read my reddit post (from Superserhat546) for more details.
Hack Of: Pokemon Red

Summary: It's just Pokemon Red but with new Pokemon from Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, new moves, new types, bug fixes, ability to catch all Pokemon, and other cool stuff.

Storyline
This hack takes place in Kanto that we all know and love. It's almost the same story as Pokemon Red but there is a new sidestory which is about a new mysterious Eeveelution. There may be some stuff added in the future.

Screenshots:

Pokemon names, Item names, Move names, Pokedex entries and most of the text are decapitalized.

This looks really cool! Could you perhaps make HM's forgettable? Or give the worse HM moves a boost?

I will make HM moves removable and give some HMs a boost. For instance Cut is Grass Type and it has 60 Base Power. This change will most likely be made in Public Alpha 2 or 3.

I've come up with another suggestion lately. How about extending bag and/or PC space? Limited bag space is annoying enough, but limited PC space is even more annoying, especially when your Pokemon can't hold items.

I was planning on that as well. I would increase the bag space if i can.

Nice to see that Public Alpha 2 has been released!

Since you made Scyther and Charizard learn Fly, and Bellsprout learn Flash, could you perhaps make Venusaur learn Earthquake and Sludge Bomb if you haven't already?

Sure I'm on it. But Sludge Bomb isn't in this hack. So I made Venusaur being able to learn Earthquake.

Are there any other good Poison type moves? If yes, perhaps you could make Venusaur learn some of those?
