FireRed hack: Celia's Stupid Romhack - Demo 2!

[CeliaDawn]

Behold!



Welcome, one and all, to the world of Celia's Stupid Romhack!



This is a Comedy/Trivia/Puzzle hack, originally made to be played with my friends.

Enjoy a cavalcade of hilarity, nonsense, and fun! Grab some friends and sit around and enjoy the show together!

Every line of dialogue is quirky and fun, and every Pokemon has been changed in some way.
I strongly recommend completing the Pokedex while you play!




FEATURES!​

• Original, witty writing!
• Custom art and music!
• Clever yet fair puzzles!
• Several in-game hint systems to keep you on-track!
• Absolute stupidity!

If that trailer wasn't enough, here's some screenshots!

ADVICE:​

• Talk to everyone! Every NPC, including trainers, has new dialogue. Many regular trainers will give vital clues about what you should do.
• Take your time! This game is full of fun little nooks and crannies!
• Play with friends! This hack is designed to be played together. Sit around in a discord call while someone plays - I promise it'll be worth the hassle!
• Don't try to challenge run! This is a puzzle hack first-and-foremost. Nuzlockes and other types of playthroughs will be frustrating and unfun!
• Complete the Pokedex!! This is VERY strongly recommended! There are signs in every town giving you an indication of how much progress you should be making towards the goal.

I finished playing first and second demo and its awsome

Btw in the first demo I encountered a grimer in pewter city where the guy was repealing the grass. When I caught the grimer it was holding a slightly faded note i don't remember what was written on it and I caught a grimer at the same place in demo 2 but my grimer didn't hold anything.

So I would like to know what is that note used for☺

Originally it was a hint for the puzzle of beating Brock. Unfortunately, I found that it was causing more confusion than help, so I removed it.

Celia, I saw your post on a different platform that invites submissions for custom sprite ideas. Will you be opening a thread here for that as well? I prefer using this or other dedicated websites for discussing ROM hacks.
