FireRed hack: Weird Type Fun v1.93 (complete type swap hack)

Finished this one a couple of days ago and I loved it! I however don't quite understand how to get the cryptid hunter NPC to recognize my legendary catches no matter how much I interact with him.
 
Is there any documentation for this aside from what's in the download? I'm trying to figure out what EVs drop from what and don't want to assume it's the same as normal. That and it's tough figuring out what type things are without catching them.

Is there a canon name for the Players and Rival? I named the Male one Teal, the Female one Indigo, and the Rival I named Orange but IDK if they have canon names (Like Red, Blue, and Green (I refuse to call her Leaf))

[PokeCommunity.com] Weird Type Fun v1.93 (complete type swap hack)


OVERVIEW

Weird Type Fun is a simple rom hack with an even simpler concept: to have even series veterans be confused about type matchups. With 18 all new types and a completely reimagined pokédex to match, WTF makes the ever familiar Kanto a little bit less so.

While WTF sticks mostly to the core FireRed story and structure, some characters and lore has been changed around to keep things fresh. Event only areas (aka Navel Rock and Birth Island) have been made accessible through gameplay and a couple of new locations and small events have been added in.



FEATURES

  • All types have been replaced with new alternatives. Type matchups do not mirror original.
  • 400-ish pokémon, assembled from up to gen 9 (thus including Hisui and Paldea). Also includes a couple of beta pokémon and fakemon.
  • Each pokémon has been redesigned to fit its new type (think Fool's Gold, except more nonsensical)
  • Moves and items updated to match the new types
  • Mostly faithful Gen III Kanto experience with some new twists



SCREENSHOTS
Spoiler:




CREDITS

  • Original design of fusions Dustata & Furran as well as fakemon Bloff & Hemocula by Wish
  • Awesome banner art by Wish
  • Fakemon Nanner is a direct reference to this Drawfee video
  • Leagues of support from Pebbler Platoon, especially Sadfish, with testing, fixing bugs and other issues, your help has already made the hack so much more polished!
  • Everything else by me, aka enwaitea

KNOWN ISSUES

This is very much a first rom hack situation. A funny sprite project got out of hand and I learned rom hacking on the go.

There is the occasional oddity/issue with the hack I have yet to figure out how to fix (some of them directly caused by my blunders early on in the project, haha). Nothing game-breaking as far as testing has revealed, but I will list what I know here for reference.

Q&A

Spoiler:




WHAT'S NEXT
  • Fixing known issues
  • Fixing any other issues that turn up
  • Any quality of life improvements I can think of / learn to do
  • Redoing several sprites / designs (you can tell which ones were made first)


COMING SOMEDAY, EVENTUALLY, MAYBE
Spoiler:




Thanks for your interest in my silly little rom hack! It was small and broken in the beginning, but with the help of this awesome community it's growing into its own!

Another glitch I've found… Teraform doesn't allow me to push boulders
 
Hey could we please get the typings for the Pokemon? I know it's supposed to confuse veteran players but as a person that likes to plan my team before playing I would appreciate it.
