Pokemon Fire Red: The Hard Version! Release

Beta 6​

Introduction

Hey guys! I'd like to introduce another (or improved) version of Pokémon Fire Red. This is kind of a mix between a 386 and a difficulty game.
The minor features and changes implamented do not really change the characteriscits of the orignal game but do however enhance the difficulty and the enjoyment of the game!​

I have only been working on this for several days so the only assortments I have worked on so far are the battles this includes trainers, rivals, gyms, Elite Four ect.
I promise you this game to be very challenging but fun!​

If this game gets positive feedback and becomes admired by users then I will go forth to adding new variables such as scripts, events and so on. For now however let's just call this "The Pilot" I have spent quite alot of my time dedicated to this hack and plan to carry on so please be respectable with feedback, thank-you. ​

Features

• A whole new Rival!​
• Gym Leaders have new & stronger teams!​
• Every Gym Leader now has 6 Pokémon (aside Brock & Misty)​
• Sound replacements (Example; Oaks Lab)​
• Rivals team had alertations​
• All trainers edited some the same but higher levels​
• All rematches with any trainer has also been edited to suit their location in-game​
• Elite Four members have much stronger teams and even stronger teams second time round (L90+)​
• Gym Leader Rematches! ~ After completeing the Elite Four you will notice the Gym Leaders dotted around Islands Four, Five Six & Seven.. can you find them all!?​
• All 386 Pokémon obtainable​
• New trainers implamented to spice things up​
• Whole game difficulty intensified​

[blue]

First beta now released, test it & feedback, thanks :]

 

[KingCyndaquil]

i played it, it satifyed the need to make this game harder, as i beat firered in a week, ill keep an eye on it!

 

[blue]

Hey thanks, it becomes increasingly harder!

 

[pokkeball]

Hard pokemons? That's what I'm looking for! Will definitely try it! ;)

 

[pantherwarrior]

Which Emulator would you recommend?

 

[blue]

Visual Boy Advance (VBA) just Google it.

 

[TheDemetrious1]

Hey I thought game is pretty good. Got a couple things though.
1.Change the girl that you battle before you enter in the forest; oddish to at least a higher then the pokemon in the nearest grass.
2.Change Pichu to evolve to pikachu at any level between 10-30.
3.Change what the proffesor that upgrades your pokedex make him update it and leave somewhere. -not give you dream eater-
4.I like the fact that you can catch grass starters in the forest but it defeats the purpose of getting a Bulbasaur. lol.
5.I liked the game and I think you should continue it.

 

[blue]

Thanks for the feedback & I'll take it on board.

About the Oddish I changed that right after I made the release (now Level 8) which I think is suitable and about the professor, I was debating whether I should just leave him because well I'm not too strong on scripting but I don't really see a problem with teaching Dream Eater but if people wish for me to change I will.
Regarding the Pichu & Pikachu evolution, with the next release I'm going to change it so that ALL Pokémon that are evolved via trade will be evolved by a certain level and I will change SOME happiness evolutions and leave some in because I know people like using happiness to evolve Pokémon.
Finally, the starters, yeah I only wanted to put them in an early stage as a test because the beta does end at Pewter so I'm kinda limited to areas where to place them but I will relocate them to a later point in the game, like I said this was only a pilot so I was expecting some flaws with the game, I just wanted to see how it went down but again, thanks, I do intend to continue it.

 

[pantherwarrior]

My VBA won't play the game, it keeps coming up with the message "Unsupported file type" I tried patching it to a clean Fire Red ROM but the VBA will just play the Fire Red game and not the hack. Am I doing anything wrong?

 

[jvpski3]

Can you tell me where you got the de-capitalization patch? Thanks. Also, this game is not really hard. Can you update it?

 

[blue]

The levels of Gym Leaders increase majorly but I have been thinking of increasing Brocks levels.

Sorry, it was months ago that I downloaded it and I'm unable to locate it.

Yea it wasn't too hard seeing there's a spam method with using all your money then battling the gym leader while losing but gaining exp. Got my Treeko, Charmander, and Pichu all the way to 26 doing that.

 

[blue]

Ah right, well thanks for the feedback, I will increase Brocks levels for the next release, and possibly the other Gym Leaders but I dont think they need it because Misty reaches Level 30 and Level 30 for the second Gym is quite intense but yeah.

 

[TheDemetrious1]

Al right sweet! Estimated time for next release? -curious-

 

[blue]

Most probally tomorrow, or the day after, I've already changed everything to Cerulean, including trainers, gyms & Wild Pokemon.

 

[TheDemetrious1]

Nice! If you need help with beta testing I'm here!

 

[blue]

That's actually a good idea, the thought of beta testers some reason didn't occur to me, I'm testing it now but if you wanna try it out I can send you a link now?

 

[Pichu_fan]

This Hack looks very good,I wonder how hard this would be to Nuzlocke....

Oh, and can I please be a Beta Tester too, if you need them?

 

[TheDemetrious1]

That's actually a good idea, the thought of beta testers some reason didn't occur to me, I'm testing it now but if you wanna try it out I can send you a link now?

Go for it, Im not busy so I can get you results quickly.
