FireRed hack: Pokémon DarkViolet (Full Version Released)

Well, yeah I wasn't using cheats, but I de-patched the Alpha 2.2 and play the first release, everything went fine and worked good for me. Then when finally finish Viridian Forest (awesome job in there, btw) I patched again Alpha 2.2, so I'm not going into route 23 for a while :)
Great job on Brock's battle, great job on Pewter Museum and hilariosly great job on Alpha 2.2 ending xDD
Can't wait to see new releases.
By the way, how many more releases there will be?
 
Just want to say that after being on a long break and now coming back I am glad to see this hack is still doing well.

Keep up the good work, you're doing a great job :)
 
Okay, so im like, really bad with computers sometimes, so i have no idea what an ips file is, or how to make it so i can play the game. would someone mind telling me how to do that, since i didn't see anything on how to do that.

Refer to the FAQ.
You need to use some IPS patcher like Lunar IPS and Fire Red ROM.
 
so, I know nothing about hacking so idk if this is even possible, but do you think you will be adding Johto for the post-game?
 
Some minor new screens, for anyone that cares:

No, that would be dumb
 
Hi chaos rush! Well done!
You earned my first post! and a fan!
Cant wait for Beta1 :D
Love the music, esp. Green and blue's themes!
 
After a quick 15 minute playthrough, I'm already thinking this is the greatest hack I've ever played. Everything about it's just great. The work you've put into this hack is obvious, and I really can't wait to see what more you do with this. :)
 
Amazing Hack:) I Can't wait for Beta 1
 
This is one of the games that I think Will Make it in the top ten the year it comes out. It just breathes life back into the first first gen.
 
If you don't mind me, I think the Gym Leader of Viridian is...
Spoiler:

Also, I love this. I like your idea of that a remake can change more than only minor things to the story!

Because of how there are more trainers than in the original games, the level curve is turning out quite a bit higher than expected... I just did a test run raising three Pokemon evenly, and by the time I reached Ariana at Mt. Moon, all of my Pokemon were Lv18-20.

EDIT: Also, unlike HG/SS, the Rocket Executives will actually have a different battle theme from the Grunts. This is what it will be:

I tried to make it sound like a "creepy" version of the original Rocket battle theme.

Alrighty, first of all, I must say it looks good.

Second, I patched that with a clean FireRed rom, and there's a black screen on the
Title Screen, which usually happens on Hex editing, while Inserting instead of Overwriting bytes.
