    Pokémon Financial Stability: A Challenging New Chapter in Kanto​


    Welcome to Pokémon Financial Stability, an exciting and challenging new ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed. After some experience creating ROM hacks, we're back with a revamped adventure set in a world where time has passed and the iconic Gym Leaders of Kanto have chosen a new generation of leaders to take their place.

    In this game, the Pokémon world has evolved: new moves have been discovered, Pokémon have grown stronger, and the training system has been updated. Will you have what it takes to rise through these changes and become the champion in this enhanced version of Kanto?

    I am using my boy and the download says IPS? How do I get it to work?
     
    Also, what quality of life additions/improvements are there?
    Auto run is not even ON.
    Just wondering really...

    Great work, but some things....

    the two main that helps player are:
    1) when you need to learn a new move, the cursor starts on the new move and not on the first move; this prevents players from mistakingly deleting moves while spamming A since you can only level up with candies
    2) you can see on screen, with different colors, the effects of natures (you don't have to memorize them and new player can just know what they do with a simple look)

    than there are other minor changes but i believe those 2 are the one that directly impact the gameplay itself

    You should have added the option to use multiple candies at once. It's a huge pain to lvl up a Pokemon and you don't want it to evolve, because of some moves.... and you have to go through all the animation and cancel option all over again.
    That's not really well thought! And that's what actually is a quality of life feature! The others are meh

    Just my 2 cents

    it still doesn't combat the fact of using 1 candy instead of multiple ones at time....
    I believe it's your first hack and that's fine and all. But we need to be able to accept criticism instead of coming up with answers playing on the defensive.
    A mature person would take this and either apply to the next hack they do, or add them to a future update on the game....
    But hey, just my 2 cents 🤦‍♂️

    it was just an answer
    this is my 3rd hack btw and i'm not a coder

    i know how to game design and i'm good at balancing numbers but i know NOTHING about coding; i couldn't even do the "multiple candies" even if i tried
    everything that required to "code" something different took weeks, even if it was very simple (IE: the despawning of pokeballs in the Gift House...that took me 3 weeks to do)

    i'm thankful for all criticism and i'm sorry if my answer sounded rude, that wasn't my intention
    i was simply saying what was the solution to the issue you brought up

    again, i'm sorry if it sounded rude
