    My first Pokemon ROM hack showcase!!

    Welcome to Pokémon Crimson Red!!
    Where classic Pokémon gameplay is reimagined with tougher battles, unpredictable AI, and strategic twists that will test even the most talented trainers. This isn't just another ROM hack—it's designed for hardcore players looking for an intense experience!

    Key Features:

    • Increased Difficulty: Enemy trainers, Gym Leaders, and Elite Four members now have optimized teams with competitive movesets and smarter AI.
    • Team Diversity: Expect enemy Pokémon with expanded movesets and a variety of counters to common strategies.
    • Level Cap Adjustments: Progression requires careful level management to stay within caps for each Gym and major battle.
    • Nuzlocke Challenge: There are 3 custom nuzlocke modes you can try specifically for this ROM hack, the rules are listed in the doc
    • Legendary Encounters: Limited, but expect a challenge when they do appear!
    • Gen 8 Mechanics and Pokemon: the pokemon, abilities, held items, double battle mechanics, Enemy AI, HMs and more are all up to gen 8
    • Rare Candies: To reduce grinding you are given rare candies instead of having to hack them in, not mandatory just a quality of life features
    • Team diversity: You are given hundreds of pokemon to use and battle with and it becomes even more diverse when you can use every held item (for a price ofc)
      AND MORE!!

    NOTE: THIS HACK IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!! For now it's balanced untill the third gym and after that your pokemon could be 2-15 levels overleveled. However there still is gameplay untill Fuscha city So you have plenty to play! I'm working as fast as I can to provide the best gameplay experience!

    Difficulty: This game's difficulty (when playing with HC nuzlocke rules) should be a little easier than emerald kaizo, there will be quite a large difficulty spike in the unfinished endgame i'm working on however that's in the future. Please provide any feedback or Criticism.
