    Hey, I'm absolutely nobody. Have you ever wanted to play FireRed but absolutely awful? Yeah, that's what I thought. That's why I've created this hack, because I felt like learning how to make a hack. By definition, this would probably be considered an "enhancement" hack, despite probably making the game significantly worse than base FireRed. I've removed all of your favorite, well-thought-out funny animals from the game and replaced them with terribly balanced abominations like Speed Boost Steelix, Gardevoir but fast, and starters that are completely disgusting.

    To create this hack, I primarily used HexManiacAdvance and the AdvanceMap+XSE combo. Some code was also copied over from AdvanceStarter and AdvanceTrainer modifications. For scripting, I got a TON of help from this thread, since I've never coded in GBA's janky assembly code before.

    Look at the title screen! This title screen really shows off how this game is both incredibly cringe and possibly even a little bit BASED?
    (I was messing with title screen logo variants and one of them broke it and made this beautiful abomination)
    Spoiler:


    NEW ADDITIONAL TRAINERS BASED ON MY FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO ADD THEM SO I DID????? LOLLLLL
    Spoiler:


    DOWNLOAD BASEDREDCRINGEGREEN HERE!

    QUICK FEATURES LIST:
    • Incredibly busted versions of the Johto starters replace your traditional Kanto starters! yay.
    • Modified list of obtainable Pokemon - only 255 are obtainable, with a few juicy extras being there for enemy trainers only :)
    • Harder fights that will make you question your existence
    • Quality of life features (see Important Item Locations doc in the download for details)
    • EVs for fighting wild stuff and trainers are removed, but you can still purchase vitamins if you'd like to boost your stats that way

    DISCLAIMER: This hack is made primarily with challenge runs and nuzlockes in mind. In fact, for any other purpose this hack is probably actually just as bad as I say it is lol. There's literally infinite rare candies and infinite money obtainable. Also, it's nooooottttt really done yet, as I'm still balancing stuff so 5.0 is almost definitely not the final version. However, the game is playable all the way through the credits (don't really plan on messing with postgame, but I may add a superboss or something in the future). There's also janky scripts like the Lavender Town guy disappearing and Lostelle saying her spiel twice... nothing that affects the gameplay in any major way from what I can tell. It has been tested on multiple emulators with no game-breaking issues found yet, BUT if you find something then let me know !!! I don't wanna release hot garbage that's also broken hot garbage lol.

    Important: Squirrels patch has some major issues, I'd recommend using 1.1 for the time being if you intend on playing.
