FireRed hack: Pokémon: Fire Red Extended Version

[mikebon95]

Dont bother with this one people. Way too many problems in its way to function smoothly. Requires a lesser used application thats buggy in itself to use, noticeably unbalanced mons, some really crappy sprites, etc. The game is pretty and very explorable aside from that its got all the pokemon in the latest version (2024) but thats not enough to save it. Just play radical red tbh, this one has potential but im doubtful it will ever supersede Radred which sucks because rad red gets infuriatingly difficult for most casual players.

I'm experiencing an issue with Pokémon Fire Red Extended. Every time I defeat "Gary" in the Misty city stage, my Pokémon stop gaining experience. Does anyone know the reason for this or has faced a similar problem?

I'm using version 3.5.3-BugFix and the mGBA emulator on Windows.

You activated the Level Caps, pal.
You must defeat Misty to enable the experience to another level.

Welcome to the Fire Red Extended project!

Introduction
Fire Red Extended is a rework from the Kanto region with a somewhat bold proposal:

All Pokémon from the first to the eighth generation are available for capture!
This project is recommended to people who have never had the opportunity to play Pokémon before.
Some people know Pokémon anime, so this project is an excellent choice to be the first experience for this public target.
As I said before, our journey will only be in Kanto.
Unlike Pokémon Fire Red vanilla, we will not have access to the seven islands.

Below you will see the list of what has been modified in the project:

The recommended emulators for the project are:

Android OS = MyBoy (The best choice), PizzaBoy.
DO NOT USE JOHN GBA OR OTHER EMULATORS.
iOS = Happy Chick, Provenance Emu, RetroArch (Using the mGBA's architecture).
DO NOT USE ECLIPSE OR OTHER EMULATORS.
Windows = mGBA (The best choice), VBA.
DO NOT USE VBA-M.

Graphics:
- The fonts have been darkened to improve the player's QoL during their journey.
- Dark theme on Player and Foe's HP Bar.
- Improvements in various locations in the game, such as Bill's PC layouts to in-game tilesets.
- HP bars disappear while a move is executed.
- IVs inside the summary screen.
- Nature Colors
(Unlike other roms, the pattern of color will be different here:
For example, an Adamant Pokémon will have an increase in points
in the Green color and a decrease in points in the Red color. The same pattern is for IVs.
- A large number of battle backgrounds were inserted into the project.

Pokémon Data:
- Pokémon from Kanto to Galar are present in the project, including regional and gender shapes.
(You can customize the shapes of your Rotom, Deoxys, and other Pokémon).

- This project does not have the following features:
Mega Evolution
Dynamax
Gigantamax
Pokémon that change shape in battles (except Castform).
(Don't waste your time asking for these mechanics.
I will not waste my time answering these requests).

- In the project, several Pokémon had modifications in their evolution methods.
(Here in this post, you can check out all the changes).
- All sprites have been changed to modernize the game's appearance.
(The icons in the Summary Screen will change the palette and appearance in the future.)
- The items used in standard games to make your Pokémon evolve by trading work as evolution stones.

All in-game evolution methods:
- Level Up
- Evolutionary Stone
- Happiness (High)
- Personality High/Low
- Creating extra Pokémon (Nincada to Ninjask/Shedinja)
- If one stat is higher than the other (Atk > Def, Def > Atk, Atk = Def)

New:
- Level Up male Pokemon
- Level Up Female Pokemon
- Use Evolution Stone on a male Pokémon
- Use Evolution Stone on a female Pokémon
- Pokémon learn a move by Level Up.
- Pokémon evolve if a specific Pokémon is in the party.
(Mantyke & Remoraid for Mantyke to evolve into Mantine).
- If a Pokémon faints [Not implemented].
- Happiness (Low) [Not implemented].

The Evolution list is viewed here! (CLICK ME)

Maps:
Cities and routes have drastic updates in appearance, connections, and tilesets.
(There are many, many new maps in the game).

The Dive move has been implemented in the project!
(And it's a crucial part of countless maps and connections for unraveling mysteries and finding legendary Pokemon.)

Field moves have been expanded:
Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength, Flash, Rock Smash, Waterfall, Dive, Dig, Teleport, and Sweet Scent are the defaults.
Rock Climb, Headbutt, Bulldoze, Drill Run, Growth, Thief, Smart Strike, and Giga Drain are the expanded field moves.

Spoiler:

Rock Climb is used to go up or down rock walls.
Headbutt is used to head trees to obtain Pokémon.
Bulldoze works like a Rock Smash 2.0, destroying simultaneous piles of rock.
Drill Run is used to open holes in walls.
Growth is used to grow sprouts and thus allow the player to explore higher areas.
Thief move is an essential part of the fossil capture mechanic in the project.
Dig is an essential part of the fossil capture mechanic in the project, as well as helping the player get out of Caves and Dungeons.
Smart Strike is used to break wooden boards that restrict passage to underground mines, as well as open shells at the bottom of the sea.
Giga Drain is used to drain lakes to reveal locations.

(The Pocket Tutor is an item able to teach all extra field moves to your Pokémon free. That's the second-best prize in the Safari Game).

New mechanics explained:
We have a new feature in the game:
- Dynamic Machines!
This new system is available at all PokéMarts in Kanto.
At the very least, a "DM" will be inside a Pokémart.
What is a Dynamic Machine, Tarma?
Dynamic Machines are machines that teach your Pokémon moves. It is a resource to teach moves to your Pokemon.
All DMs teach up to five moves, and you must pay $2000 gold to get the service.
Also, Dynamic Machines change your Pokémon's nature.
You must unlock the 3rd badge and 25.000 gold per Pokémon.

- Fossil System!
On Cinnabar Island, there are Fossil Collectors who are resurrecting Ancient Pokémon from their respective Fossils.
Three caves in Kanto have this system:
Mt. Moon (Kanto Fossils)
Rock Tunnel (Fossils from Sinnoh and Unova)
Route 15 (Fossils of Hoenn and Kalos)
Route 21 (Galar Fossils)
How do I get fossils, Tarma?
Just have one or more Pokémon with the following moves:
Dig and Thief.
You will need a Pokemon with Dig to dig the hole on the map.
If you're lucky enough, you can get a fossil easily, but if you're not lucky enough, a Pokémon will emerge from the ground in a rage.

- Wormholes!
In Kanto, innovations in scientific research are increasingly advanced and thanks to the first artificial Pokémon (Porygon), human has access to remote locations in outer space!
If you decide to collaborate with field research, you will receive a Porygon and need to evolve it to Porygon-Z to be able to cross wormholes.
The species found in the Deep Space are the Ultra Beasts and several Legendaries, such as Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and Cosmog.
Other species are also found there.

Other Changes:
- Safari Game
In Fire Red Extended, Safari Game has a heavy and massive rework.
There are more than 16 maps available for catching numerous species of Pokémon.
In this expansion, the Safari Game no longer counts steps and gives
60 Safari Balls to the player for only $4000 gold!

- The new and challenging Pokémon League!
The Elite Four has been replaced by the Pokémon League.
THERE'S ONE POKEMON TRAINER FOR EVERY TYPE AND YOU'LL NEED TO DEFEAT ALL OF THEM TO DESERVE THE HALL OF FAME!

- Spawn Lists are included in many maps, making it easier for the player to choose which Pokémon are available on the map.

- The following abilities have been added (v3.4 release):
Noble Spirit - Transforms normal-type moves into Fighting-type moves.
Toxify - Transforms normal-type moves into Poison-type moves.
Fossilize - Transforms normal-type moves into Ground-type moves.
Petrify - Transforms normal-type moves into Rock-type moves.
Crawling - Transforms normal-type moves into Bug-type moves.
Haunted - Transforms normal-type moves into Ghost-type moves.
Welding - Transforms normal-type moves into Steel-type moves.
Incinerate - Transforms normal-type moves into Fire-type moves.
Liquify - Transforms normal-type moves into Water-type moves.
Fertilize - Transforms normal-type moves into Grass-type moves.
Electrify - Transforms normal-type moves into Electric-type moves.
Galvanize - Transforms normal-type moves into Electric-type moves too.
Focused Mind - Transforms normal-type moves into Psychic-type moves.
Draconize - Transforms normal-type moves into Dragon-type moves.
Evil Spirit - Transforms normal-type moves into Dark-type moves.

VIP Abilities:
Corrosion: Makes Poison-type moves effective on Steel-type Pokémon (But don't inflict poisoning).
Freeze Dry: Makes Ice-type moves effective on Water-type Pokémon.
Raging Fire: Makes Fire-type moves effective on Fairy-type Pokémon.

⚠️ Please do not use my hack as a base for your project. Me, DjTarma, is the only developer of this project. You are not allowed to copy or mine anything within my project.

For me what make good romhack is having new story and new map because i got bored of same kanto difuculty hack, this game doesn't have new story but the new map is amazing so i love it, maybe the downside of this hack is the difuculty little bit too easy because many random trainer is underlevel in the world. I hope you don't mind about my feedback, stay healthy and thank you for the amazing romhack 👍🙏

Wow!! I'll love yo play this one!

 

[Safr]

This game good but if only this game have some new story this game will be perfect. Even that story is costume or even from pokemon yellow. Thank you for the game

 

[Curlytopftw]

Really enjoying this game, but I have a couple things to report. On Route 9 in the cave under the bridge, if you rock climb down there are some pools of water. If you go fishing in there, you get the ????? pokemon. I assume you're just not supposed to be able to fish for anything in here. I also can't figure out how to evolve my Magneton into a Magnezone. I tried leveling it up in the building where you find Zapdos and giving it a thunderstone. Is there supposed to be a place with a magnetic field in this game?

Oh, thank you so much for your feedback! :D
[Route 09 bug]: I'll fix it for the 3.5.6 release.
[Magneton to Magnezone]: Check the post, I inserted a link explaining all evolutions of the project. Check it out.
In my discord community, I've inserted a thread called #evolutions-explained with all information about evolutions in the project.

Thanks for your feedback! :D
The project has small additions to the lore, to make sense of some locations and legendary Pokémon in Kanto.
I ask you to explore more of the project and you will see that there are subtle things, so as not to stray from the original context of the franchise.

I believe you didn't play the hack because your feedback is the opposite of most people who comment here and elsewhere,
The post contains all the necessary information to run the project in compatible emulators.
I recommend you follow the project requirements. You will be satisfied with your gameplay.

[pro_A]

why the hell did you decide that every trainer having multiple pokemon and multiple potions was a good idea? it makes the game BORING and SLOW. also, that cave that you need to go through to reach Bill's house... I freaking hate that cave, because it adds literally nothing and just there for the sake of adding more areas. Another thing: the fact that one of my favorite Pokemon, that being Galarian Farfetch'd, requires an HM you don't get until Fuschia... it made me stop playing entirely. So bollocks to your hack, and bollocks to anyone who says it's better than the original, because it's not. In fact, I'd say it has to offer than Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

 

[Yohestb]

Why is Charmander still not evolving when lv 19

 

[Ryuzaku92]

Ok DjTarma is a genius and I don't know what else to call him or her. This game is super cool and I absolutely love it. I tried to make it easier by using some cheat codes and guess what???? NURSE JOY TOLD ME THAT CHEATERS AREN'T ALLOWED AND TO MAKE A NEW SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if there is a way around this but dude, that is awesome that you added that in there. I am not even going to look for a way around that because that isn't easy to implement(as far as I know anyway)

hahahahaha, I'm a male developer. Tarma is the yellow jacket soldier from the Metal Slug series games.
Creating the Anti-Cheat system took me a lot of work. I recommend that you do not use cheat codes, to prevent your game from crashing.
Using cheat codes made to the original Fire Red will crash my hack project, so, do not use it! Some databases were changed and corrupt game data.

Olá, gostaria de dizer, em primeiro lugar, que este hack é o melhor que já joguei. Em segundo lugar, estou procurando o Kartana há muitos dias, mas nunca o encontrei. Ele está no jogo? Se sim, onde posso encontrá-lo? Já capturei todos os outros Ultra Pokémon, mas ele é o único que está faltando. Em terceiro lugar, e apenas uma pequena sugestão, seria ótimo se pudéssemos seguir o Pokémon, escolhendo um e pressionando selecionar. O Pokémon nos seguiria e, repetindo o processo, pararia de nos seguir para trocar de Pokémon e faria o mesmo processo.

 

[DjTarma]

Thank you so much

Thank you so much for your feedback. Kartana is available in a Wormhole.
You must search for different grass in these places.
My project was not built using CFRU's engine. I cannot insert following pokémon feature.
