    Pokemon Vega is probably the highest regarded of all foreign-language Pokemon hacks. Created by a group of Japanese hackers, it contains a new region, all sorts of new Pokemon and moves, and a significant challenge.

    We have fully translated Pokemon Vega, and it is now available as a patch for English Fire Red (v1.0), here:

    So glad to finally see Vega get posted on PC! This translation looks well done. Being able to understand what's happening makes it far less cryptic, which is definitely a plus.

    My only qualm with the hack now is the mapping, lol

    I have never complained about difficulty before in my life for a hack but fuck this games difficulty the first gym is a cheating whore no first gym leader should have berries on every pokemon aswell as use a potion on each I'm sorry thats not difficulty thats forcing the player to grind to an unnecessarily high lvl to beat a gym you should be able to win at lvl 14-15 without a huge difficulty.
     
    this ROM has some of the nicest fakemon design i ever seen, unlike the 10 year old doddles I see in other hacks. this is coming from someone who usually dislike fakemon hacks.

    yeah the difficulty is tough, simply because the way its designed you simply cannot grind levels to prepare for boss fights, unless you want to spend an inordinate time to do so. (super low level wild mons and normal trainers, high level gym leaders/elite trainers with competitive movesets).
     
    Oh, this finally got here. I was wondering how long it would take to transfer this from the Nuzlocke Forums. I might do a run of it over there.
     
    This is truly one of the best hacks I've ever played. As this hack has been posted on RHM several months ago, some of us were already able to play through it then, what I did, until Apple decided to revoke GBA4iOS again, but thanks to Dropbox, I am still able to continue the post game story and catch more Pokémon.
    Also, I can only agree with what Spherical Ice said earlier: I, too, am glad to finally see this hack on PC. :)
