Thank you for keeping this hack alive 🙏🥲
 
It's hard to say when Frostbite will be back to work on this again, but the previous release were not close to his original ideas enough in my opinion, so I made this. This 2023 version was released to make this one feel more like how it was supposed to be if finished by Frostbite, the creator of this great hack. He actually told me almost everything about his plans for the future update back in 2020, he said the true future relese were supposed to have these:

- Expanded Pokedex with Sinnoh Pokemon (+ Sylveon and without Sinnoh legendaries since there's no place for them in the hack).
- Have Sinnoh starters be the starters for the hack.
- Physical/Special split.
- Day/Night system.
- New evolution methods.
- New abilities.
- Have opposite gender protagonist play role in story.
- A few other features that are present in the yet another Fire Red Hack project.
- HM Masters whom you must find and beat to get the HMs, some of them will be well-hidden.

So I added them all and polished up it a little bit, I can't say it will be the same to what the creator planned, but it should be close enough to call it a better continuation than all the previous releases.

I feel bad that you colud not fi the legendaries, though that is more an 'artistic vision unfulfilled' type of bad.
Thank you. I was hoping that you would go back to completing old hacks.

Today I checked out all the stuff I got from Frostbite and realized I might have missed one last thing, I did not add the new tiles for the forest trees, which was supposed to be added but was left behind because the image of the tiles was damaged and blurr when I got it from Frostbite, but it makes me feel bad to leave anything I got from the creator unused, so I managed to spend some time to recreate the tiles from the shrinked image, and I finally made some tiles out of them. It may not be completely accurate because it was made from the shrinked screenshots, but I'm still happy with it since it's close enough and this is the only way to get it back, so I added them, here are the screenshots:

Now I can finally say I have used everything I could get from Frostbite and put them in the actual game. And the patch was also updated for the tiles, the old link still works:

Mt. Origin, idk where are the hm master for flash and rock smash

The HM Masters were supposed to be hard to find according to Frostbite, so I made them a bit tricky to find. The Flash Master is in Windward Forest, you can access her from the part of the forest near Azure City, you may need Cut or Surf to reach her. And the Rock Smash master is behind a pond near the Tundra Warehouse.

Wow thank you so much HRM
 
I'm having a difficult time finding the HM for fly. The guide I'm using states it's in the safari zone ,but I received strength instead. Any tips would be helpful.
