    On the difficulty, I found it to be a bit easy, but that's not a bad thing. The biggest challenge, as it should be, was Drake, but it did come down to hoping the AI didn't choose Dragon Dance for Dragonite. If it did, I'd be boned. I did have to grind once for Drake because I was too underleveled, but that didn't bug me. I wouldn't suggest increasing the difficulty, for what the hack offers, it's just right

    • Dropping a small review since I'm done with the hack:

    1) I absolutely loved the mapping style. The colourful tiles you used truly gave the game a tropical feel. As I explored, I found myself having the urge to explore every single nook and corner merely because of how attractive the map layout was.

    2) The cut scenes were amazing and so well done. It gave me a mild cinematic vibe while playing through and give my overall playthough a polished feeling. I also enjoyed the gen 4 sprites you gave the Pokemon as it gave way for a more modern feel.

    3) The difficulty is where I'm a bit iffy about. Initially, the first gym leader was a pain for me to beat because well, she had a Blastoise and was overlevelled as well, but as I progressed through the game the difficulty seemed to slowly reduce and I found myself steam rolling through trainer and leader. However, Drake was where the challenge was at and I feel that he pretty much tied the game up together for a great boss battle.

    Thank you so much for making this hack, I'm sure Sergio would be proud. I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us next! Cheers!

    Except for the shiny-only areas, the shiny rate is the same as in default Fire Red.

    You could fill the team up immediately with Ash's pokemon. I took Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charizard. Later in the game I had Lapras and Snorlax, making the team resemble Red's team in HGSS. It worked out well overall.
