    Pokémon: Kanto Complete
    [PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Kanto Complete

    Base ROM: FireRed BPR 1.0
    Language: English
    Creator: PurpleSpectre

    Intro
    This is the result of a side-project with the goal of remaking and expanding FireRed to make it possible to complete the Pokédex, progress to level 90+, and have access to most game mechanics and items from generation 3 games. A secondary goal of preserving gen 3 gameplay was important, as I wanted physical copies to be able to interact with main-line Pokémon games with minimal issues.

    Changes from FireRed
    • routes have been heavily modified in Kanto for a fresh experience as well as to provide access to all Pokémon on the National Dex
    • all legendary/mythical Pokémon are accessible in the post-game
      • locations detailed in spoiler section
    • town/city areas have minor modification
    • trainers have been added and modified to have a wide range of Pokémon from the National Dex
      • multi-battles, where you fight multiple trainers in succession, have been added
    • gym trainers, gym leaders, rival encounters, and elite four matches are all updated for challenging gameplay
      • elite trainers from other regions added, with their teams evocative of their instances in other games
      • champions can participate in Trainer House matches--randomly match up with an opponent for a competitive doubles battle
    • post-game areas added:
      • Champions Lounge
      • MT Silver
      • Dark Grove is a secret area off Route 1 that has an exorbitant entry fee, so while not technically post-game content access will be blocked for most players until end-game play
    • quality-of-life changes:
      • some tutorial events have been removed to speed early gameplay
      • all inaccessible Pokémon evolutions have been made possible in-game
      • Oak's Starter Sanctuary makes all gen I, II, and III starters available from the beginning of the game
      • Poké Ball exchange and TM marts added, Poké Mart inventories updated with more generally useful items
      • Running Shoes are equipped immediately, indoor running enabled
      • fishing rods are available earlier
      • Move Tutor added
      • HM02 Fly accessible earlier
      • Lava Cookie vendor added
      • shiny encounter rate significantly increased


    • Spoiler: Legendary locations


    • Spoiler: quality-of-life changes

    Vanilla game aspects retained
    • prologue, story arc, and post-game remain intact
    • Pokémon typing, move sets, and leveling/evolutions (except for the cases described in "quality-of-life changes")
    • overworld, menu, and Pokémon sprites (except Feraligatr's rear battle sprite--had to be changed)
    • generation 3 battle mechanics
    • Kanto's general map layout
    • routes and towns on the Sevii Islands
    Possible future updates
    • update Sevii Islands trainers with more challenging teams
    • re-work Sevii Islands routes and towns

    When playing Kanto Complete I run into a weird trainer by rocket warehouse on the sevii islands with a big question mark for Pokémon and when I beat it I get 1xp and
    The screen goes black and just doesn't do anything.
     
    When playing Kanto Complete I run into a weird trainer by rocket warehouse on the sevii islands with a big question mark for Pokémon and when I beat it I get 1xp and
    The screen goes black and just doesn't do anything.
     
    I'm not able to get the Sky Pillar to show up on Rt 21 for Rayquaza, can anyone help?
     
    I've noticed that this game glitches when you try to walk towards the rocket grunt in front of the rocket warehouse even if you have both passwords for the door
     
    Can someone tell me the level caps for gym leaders? I want to do a hardcore nuzlocke, so it would be helpful.
     
    Hi groudon is not inside the cave in mt. Silver? Also can't locate dark grove on rt 1? Any help appreciated thanks
