INTRO
STORY
This is by far the most changed area of the game. The story starts in Kanto (locations are not changed whatsoever in this hack), but Team Rocket has taken over the region and enslaved both the population and the Pokemon. Because of this, the trainers you encounter are mostly Rockets and the gyms have also been taken over by Team Rocket. You must travel the region, saving the towns and, ultimately, defeating the Rocket bosses now staying at the Indigo Plateau. The story is a big change from the ancient feel of Pokemon games where you ALWAYS DO THE SAME THING AGAIN AND AGAIN- BEAT GYMS AND BECOME CHAMPION. In this hack, you actually have conflict and an enemy to overcome; you know, like in a real story. You're also a major underdog seeing as how Team Rocket was strong enough to take over the region. The gyms are A LOT tougher than in the original games, and no one uses one set type of Pokemon.

Although I edited everything in the hack by myself, I used a lot of tools from other people. Without them, this hack would not have been even remotely possible. So, thanks go out to the creators of:
I'm new to the site and to ROM hacking entirely, but I decided to make my own game and see how it went. Because I have no interest or skill in scripting the game, I did everything else I could instead. So without changing the general game flow, I've drastically altered the story and battles to the point they feel like a new gameplay experience. I'm not going to say the game is perfect, and I know of a few bugs (none that crash the game though!), but if you can overlook a few technicalities I'm sure you'll find an enjoyable and new-feeling take on the Pokemon games. Enjoy!

FEATURES
Greatly increased difficulty (Final boss uses lv. 100 Pokemon)
All Pokemon in Gens 1-3 can be found in the wild.
Pokemon who evolved by trade or something now level up by other means. A spreadsheet with each Pokemon's location/how they are obtained will be attached with the download.
The Bug Type is gone. Every Bug Type Pokemon and Move has been changed to the Grass Type.
A few Pokemon have had their types adjusted. Ex. Gyarados is now Water/Dragon instead of Water/Flying. Mewtwo is Psychic/Dark and Pinsir and Heracross are Grass/Fighting. There may be others I'm forgetting. Also, some stats have been increased to make some weaker Pokemon more useful in the game.
Every single Pokemon has had their movesets altered. Many Pokemon now learn moves all the way until level 90 or so.
Every 'gym leader' (now Rocket Admins) has 6 Pokemon, but do not use one specific type (because that makes things too easy!).
New starters, with brand new moves (Scyther, Absol, Chansey).
The Orange Islands are NOT ALTERED SO DON'T BOTHER GOING THERE! I HAVE NO INTENTIONS ON CONTINUING WITH THE HACK SO THEY WILL NOT BE CHANGED IN THE FUTURE!
When raising Pokemon, evolve them by level as soon as possible. They no longer learn unique moves in pre-evolved forms. For Pokemon evolving by Stone, evolve them around level 36-40 to learn all their moves.
BUGS
I could not remove Bill's offer to take you to the Orange Islands after Cinnabar Gym. He and the ship were deleted, but the text remains. Just refuse to take the trip and all is well though.
Cerulean Cave is no longer blocked (as I intended), but if you pass it and go onto the nearby land Route, then return, a person will be blocking the entrance again. Oddly, he can be cut down. No clue what the deal is, but if you leave and return it's fine so just don't interact with the guy if you see anyone blocking the cave.
The images of the Elite Four that flash onscreen as you enter battle with them are still there. No idea how to get rid of them, so just ignore them.
When fighting the final boss, he still has the Rival's name because he originally is the Rival in Fire Red. Unfortunately, I can't get into his script to change the name. He tells you his name outside the battle though.
