FireRed hack: Digimon Nova Red ver. 3.1 [COMPLETED] [UPDATED 8.12.2022]

Question where do I get mamemon ? can you rechallenge the elite four after beating them once? Also where can I find the amulet Coin? I plan to complete the game and the digi dex so this info is vital.

Do you have plans to make a original Digimon game? I mean, change maps, city names and everything? I would love that.

Yes, you can re-challenge the E4.
For Mamemon, you can check the Digi Dex excel sheet that came with the zip file. But if you don't want to here

Spoiler: Might be Spoiler for others

You get the Amulet Coin twice. First: At the Poke Center at Rock Tunnel, handed by the Oak's aide but you need 20 Digimons caught at Kanto Dex only.
Second: Not sure but i ended up with 2 Amulet Coins. Might actually be a bug but it's given by Oak's aide that hands over Exp.Share at the passage at before Cycling Road. You get Exp Share and Amulet coin at same time.
When you enter the passage way, go upstairs and talk to the aide but you need 40 digimons caught solely at Kanto Dex
Mamemon's location is Route 18. Coincidentally, when you exit the cycling road is also where Mamemon is. It's the grassy patch right at the exit with 3 bird catchers.
Another area is at Island 3. There's a cave there at the Isle 3 port and at the end of the cave's exit, there's tall grass with Mamemon encounters

Ok Tysm

You're welcome.
BTW I made a mistake so correction below:
I did another play through just to check again, there's another amulet coin inside Rock Tunnel and the Oak's aide that give Exp.Share doesn't give amulet coin. He only gives Exp.Share but the speech text will still say amulet coin when he hands it over. So might just be a minor bug.

In the end it's still 2 amulet coins though.

I'm enjoying the romhack a lot so far, but I had a question. My Dorimon is at level 23 and hasn't evolved yet. According to the digidex spreadsheet, Dorimon is supposed to evolve into Dorumon at level 20. Were the evolution requirements changed, or is my game being buggy?

UPDATE: Dorimon evolved into Dorumon at level 25! So it looks like the evo requirements were changed after all.

Where the hell do i grind, stuck at the E4 because the best i can find is level 47's, pokemon usually has this issue but the enemy level spike with no seeming way to do anything but grind for 20 hours against surprisingly strong underleveleds is hard walling me and making me mad as hell. Especially when lorelei has a mon that spams sheer cold and with my luck that's nearly guaranteed until i do grind to 70.

It sucks too because i have 2 mons that were wild level 5's so they are insanely strong at base but still just really cant get things going at all.

Was mid-50's when i started, reorientated party and now high 50's with almost 2 60's, idk why im so behind, swapping a single guy a few times shouldn't create this much deficit.

You can beat the E4 with four Digimon at level 60. A full team of six Digimon, all at level 60, will be more than enough. Grinding to level 70 would be quite excessive in my opinion.

Hi Guzein,

Is the catch rate for mastertyrannomon bugged? I always get "the pokemon broke free" no matter how many balls i throw at it.

 

[Guzeinbuick]

Hi Guzein,

Oops! MasterTyrannomon isn't supposed to be available in the wild. Where did you find him?

 

[SantaEnds]

Oops! MasterTyrannomon isn't supposed to be available in the wild. Where did you find him?

I found him in victory road cave first level near the entrance.

Do you know where I can get a lucky egg? Also, how do you get 800 coins at the casino? Just have to get lucky?

Got it, I may get around to patching that if I do another significant update.
No lucky egg as far as I remember. And yeah 800 coins is just luck + speedup.

 

[SantaEnds]

Thanks Guzein. Just completed Elite 4 and enjoyed every step of the way.

Hi Guzein,

You meant DarkTyrannomon? Yeah it's bugged. I actually used Master Ball to catch one because they can have the Huge Power Ability if caught in the wilds instead of evolving Gaossmon. I just reset the game if it has moxie. Same applies to Tyrannomon but that one is catchable with poké/great/ultra balls. Starmon is also uncatchable in the wilds btw.

MasterTyrannomon's area shows up on Mount Ember though. But still does not spawn.

Yes thats the one, darktyrannomon. They look so similar haha.

On MyBoy for android, the game works perfectly. However, when trying to play it on VBA for PC, every time the move moonblast is used the game freezes and will not unfreeze. The files were downloaded and patched the exact same way with the exact same copy of Emerald. Is there a fix to this? Otherwise, amazing game 🙂

Full DigiDedex is included in the download file as an Excel spreadsheet.

I consider it a pretty big spoiler though (isn't the fun of the game exploring for yourself to see what Digimon are in it?) so click at your own risk. Maybe only check it out after your first playthrough? Just my suggestion.

Known Glitches:

Spoiler:

Thankfully, no game-breaking glitches have been discovered so far.

-Professor Oak's Aides will only count Digimon from #1-150 in the DigiDex when it comes to giving you rewards.

-Loreli is the strong silent type before your battle

-The "MewTwo" encounter works fine on VBA, but for some reason it freezes the game on JohnGBA Lite. Not sure about other emulators.

-Not every single reference to Pokemon has been swapped out for a Digimon. Get off my back lol

Download:
The ONLY official download of this hack! If you simply Google "Digimon Nova Red" you'll see outdated versions on third-party websites! Here is the only place to get the most up to date release!

CHANGE LOG

Spoiler:

Version 3.2 - Minor bug fixes
Version 3.1 - All item pickups edited, some graphical polish, VS Seeker removed
Version 3.0.2 - More bug fixes
Version 3.0.1 - A few minor bug fixes
Version 3.0 - Entire game has been rebuilt in Leon's Ultimate FR Rom base. 100 new mons added to the dex and a handful of new moves.
Version 2.3.1 - Most up-to-date version
Version 2.3 - The Magikarp seller would sell you a Yanmamon instead of a Manbomon. All sorts of random Digimon would appear if you went fishing in a town.
Version 2.2.1 - A trainer battle with a particular Super Nerd in the Rock Tunnel could occasionally crash the game, Silphymon could be caught in Fuschia City's pools, Lillymon would try to learn Sunny Day about three times, unique Digimon Attacks (Nova Blast, etc.) did not have custom animations
Version 2.2 - Lilithmon and Ladydevimon had the same BST, Lunamon and Dianamon had the same BST, Nohemon's catch rate was too low
Version 2.1 - Moonmon, Kazemon, and Viximon would lose levels after evolving, growth rates were a bit wonky and inconsistent, Troopmon would evolve into Kokuwamon, Ice Fang had 75 PP
Version 2.0 - A.Kazemon's sprite is a green Unown, unique attacks have glitched descriptions, Wanyamon isn't actually catchable in the game (lol), Datamon using Recycle would crash the game, Sucker Punch would do nothing
Version 1 - Mostly just an aesthetic change to Vanilla Fire Red. More or less just a swap-out of Pokemon sprites for Digimon sprites.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The game runs on VBA for Desktop and MyBoy and JohnGBA for mobile. I haven't tested it with other emulators but these three seem to be the most popular GBA emulators.

ADVICE

Spoiler:

-Don't go "Shiny hunting" because there are no shinies in the game. Sorry.
-No need to go fishing more than once. Only one Digimon can be caught via fishing: Manbomon.
-While all Digimon are viable, some have higher stats than others. They generally run on "short-term gain, low investment" vs.
"high investment, high payoff" archetypes. If you come across a horribly weak baby Digimon, chances are it will grow up to be
a total monster if you put in the time.
-The game is about 1.5x to 2x times harder than the original Fire Red, so casual players should have a good time with it. It's no pushover, but hardcore nuzlockers and such might want to come up with their own rules to make the game more challenging. Expect a considerable difficulty spike at the Elite Four.

FAQ

Spoiler:

Where do I find _____mon?
All encounter locations listed in the Excel file included in the download link.

If you want details on how to get the the game's "hidden" mons, click here:

Spoiler:

WARNING: No sane person would attempt to acquire these.

Omnimon:
You have two options for attaining Omnimon:
1. WarGreymon will evolve into Omnimon at level 100.
2. MetalGarurumon will evolve to Omnimon at level 100.
You do not need both. Either WarGreymon or MetalGarurumon is enough.

Imperialdramon Paladin Mode:
Imperialdramon will evolve into Imperialdramon Paladin Mode at level 100.

Alphamon
Dorumon will evolve into Alphamon at level 70.

ShoutmonX3SD
SwordShoutmon will evolve into ShoutmonX3SD at level 100.

Zeed=Milleniummon
1. Capture at least 50 Digimon numbered #1-150 in the Digidex.
2. Talk to professor Oak's aide in Route 15 to obtain Moon=Milleniummon.
3. Moon=Milleniummon will evolve into Zeed=Milleniummon at level 70.

Lucemon
1. Get a Coin Case from the man in the restaurant in Saffron City
2. Gamble your ass off at the Game Corner
3. Exchange 800 coins for an Aurora Ticket
4. Defeat the Elite 4
5. Take the ferry at Vermillion City port to travel to One Island
6. Head to the base of Mt. Ember. Defeat the two Rockets guarding the hideout.
7. Head inside the hideout and acquire the Ruby and Sapphire inside.
8. Head back to the Pokemon Center in One Island and talk to Celio.
9. Take the ferry back to Vermillion. Talk to the ferry man once again and he will take notice of your Aurora Ticket. You can now travel to Birth Island.
10. At Birth Island, complete the stone puzzle. The stone will move to a new location every time the player interacts with it. To complete the puzzle, the plater must approach the stone in as few steps as possible before interacting with it again. The exact steps are as follows:
a. Approach the triangle from below and press A.
b. Press ← 5×, ↓ once, then A.
c. Press → 5×, ↑ 5×, then A.
d. Press → 5×, ↓ 5×, then A.
e. Press ↑ 3×, ← 7×, then A.
f. Press → 5×, then A.
g. Press ← 3×, ↓ 3×, then A.
h. Press ↓ once, ← 4×, then A.
i. Press → 7×, then A.
j. Press ← 4×, ↓ once, then A.
k. Press ↑ 4×, then A.

Tamagotchi
1. Do not rub the Captain's back on the SS Anne. Do not obtain HM01 - Cut.
2. Catch a Chicchimon at Route 24.
3. Chicchimon will evolve into Hyokomon and learn Cut naturally at level 15.
4. Defeat Misty to allow the use of Cut outside of battle.
5. Use Hyokomon's Cut to progress through the rest of the game, eventually acquiring Surf and the Badge required to use it at Fuchsia.
6. Return to Vermillion port as if you were going to board the SS Anne. Before boarding, use Surf to explore the surrounding water. Tamagotchi can be found by interacting with the parked truck to the east of the port.

Why isn't BlahBlahBlahmon in the game? He's my favourite Digimon!

Spoiler:

Adding in new Babies, In-Trainings, and Rookie Digimon are very simple. Assuming a quality sprite exists online, I can whip up a movepool, some base states, encounter rates, and evolutionary paths in about ten minutes.
Champions, Ultimates, and Megas, on the other hand, rarely have sprites that are going to fit into a 64x64 pixel box with only 16 colours. That means I'll have to spend the next few hours editing the sprite pixel by pixel until it fits the parameters. For example, you can see how much tweaking it would take to turn this:

into this:

Why only 350 Digimon? Other hacks have a much more complete dex.

Spoiler:

Quality over quantity, my friend. The other Digimon hacks online don't take the same approach to their spriting. When it comes to Champions and up, most other hacks simply compress the sprite until its small enough to fit into the 64x64 box. Their backsprites also tend to follow a similar procedure of simply enlarging an overworld sprite.
I totally respect the approach of other Digimon rom hacks. But this is not the direction I chose to take with Nova Red. Nova Red is supposed to provide a clean, consistent experience in which every Digimon looks good. And despite my best efforts, there's still about three or four sprites I failed pretty hard at lol

Why am I still playing as Red? Shouldn't I be Tai?

Spoiler:

The Digimon world is fundamentally different from the Pokemon world. In Digimon canon, Tamers do not go around capturing Digimon and keeping them on their person for friendly competition.

Therefore it would make no sense for Tai to go around capturing hundreds of Digimon and storing them in his PC on a quest to become the "Digimon League Champion." That sounds more like the behaviour of the Digimon Emperor than anything (haha).

It's helpful to think of Nova Red as taking place in an alternate universe identical to the Pokemon world in every way, except this world is inhabited by Digimon instead of Pokemon. No other narrative or structural changes.

Level 18 at the first gym?? How grindy is this game? Why did you make it so hard?

Spoiler:

The game is about 1.5x to 2x harder than the original Fire Red. At the time of writing, I've played through the game five times now and I've never needed to grind against wild mons. You do, however, need to fight with careful strategy and diversity to come out on top. Gym leaders will always be a higher level than you so you might need a to take a few tries to figure out your opponent's movepools and how to exploit their weaknesses. But it's not a grindfest.
I do recommend fighting all enemy trainers for exp though. Not sure if you consider that grinding or not.

ExpAll?

Spoiler:

Nah. Removes the challenge.

VS Seeker?

Spoiler:

Removed. Sorry.

The Sevii Islands 4, 5, 6, and 7 are blocked off! WTH??

Spoiler:

The postgame has been streamlined, rendering Islands 4, 5, 6, and 7 obsolete. I blocked them off to not waste the player's time.

These "back sprites" don't look like back sprites at all.

Spoiler:

They're supposed to be "side sprites." Wouldn't you rather see the profile of your beloved Digimon in action instead of staring at the back of their heads?

Can you add in ____mon in a future update?

Spoiler:

Sure! If you want to provide the sprite and it's up to quality, then I would be happy to add in more Digimon at other users' request. If no compact sprite is available, I can still work my magic if the particular Digimon is in "high demand."

What about antibodies-X (evolution X), BM's and Jogress? How about more variations of each Digimon's evolution? Alter-S/Alter-B/Omega X, Jessmon, etc.?

Spoiler:

Uhhh what? Sorry but any "modern" Digimon stuff is all Greek to me. Please feel free to think of Nova Red as more of a nostalgia project than anything.

Digimon are supposed to de-digivolve back into their Rookie forms when they're not battling. Any chance of making that into a mechanic here?

Spoiler:

You can use your imagination. When you check your party Digimon, you can imagine them in their Rookie forms but the DigiDex is displaying their potential strength (as in, how far they are capable of Digivolving at that present moment). Or something. Idk

Constructive feedback and play testers welcome! Thanks!

Hey!
Loving the idea, I'm just starting my save file.
Do you happen to have a Discord to discuss the hack like other romhacks do? A server for doubts and all.

Glad you're liking it so far!

I do have a Discord but I never use it. And I don't think I even know how to make a "server" on it. I answer most questions about my hacks either here or on my YouTube channel, and that seems to be working fine so far. :)
