Pokemon Fire Red Hard Version

[Stayla Casillas]

Asa hack inspired by Emerald Kaizo and Radical Red, this hack is basically an Emerald base game with updated features, which are primarily focused on making you really work your way through the gym leaders, Elite Four, and the champion.

You will also get to battle more often in this hack, since some of the nearly 500 battles available in Pokemon Run and Bun are affected by custom field effects to make Pokemon fights more interesting.

The name tells you everything you need to know, and this hack is an enhanced version of Emerald. You still get the same story and features that the original had. The game has six difficulty modes which are Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardcore, Nuzlocke, and Frontier.

One other to note is that this hack was made by Drayano, who is notorious for making numerous DS ROM hacks that are also difficult. Pokemon spawn locations have also been slightly altered, and the Badges do not give any stat boost in the game.

All these Trainers also have some interesting Pokemon teams to boot. The original Gen 2 Roster makes up the Pokemon for the game. Along with the original events, several new ones have been added, and some locations have been altered.

There are zombie versions for some Pokemon, and Fakemon included as well. There are interesting plot points and dialogue to keep you engaged in the story. Just remember that some parts may be a bit mature for the younger ones out there.

Another game on this hardest Pokemon ROM hack list that has a unique story from the get-go is Pokemon Vega. The game is so hard that there is another version called Pokemon Vega Minus, which is a hack of this game, but the difficulty has been slightly made easier.

However, if you want punishment, you can always rely on Pokemon Vega to give it to you. There are almost 200 Pokemon and around 50 Fakemon for you to use. New Moves and other stats have been altered to the hack itself.

Emerald Kaizo is a notorious hard hack that even hardcore Nuzlocke players have a hard time beating. It is still the same Emerald story, and some of the features have remained the same. You can actually catch all 386 Pokemon or at least get all of them without trading.

Several Moves for some Pokemon have been altered or changed. The game also has Mega Evolution for some Pokemon. You can buy some of the Evolution Stones needed for some available, but as stated, since you can catch and raise all Pokemon, there is no need to trade evolution.

Now, to start things off, these copies here are from my personal collection over the years. Most of which I purchased online (after much digging on trying to authenticate stuff). The copies of Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald all contain a battery to keep their clocks running properly. As these games have aged over the years, they have dried up and died. All of them has been replaced by myself. Simple soldering process is all that is needed to replace them. Of course, having a tri-wing screwdriver helps as well.

Obverse side. Note the four contact points in the upper left corner. Also the contact points of all the teeth that insert into the cartridge. They are all straight and level. Fake ones have variously positioned points.

I have a fire red that shows all signs that its real, the metallic sticker, the embossed number the board inside with the no battery on it etc, but the layout of the sticker is different, is it real or?

This is interesting! Are you sure the Leaf Green version is real? The Nintendo logo on the circuit board is different than on the others. Did Nintendo produce two different Nintendo stamps on the circuit boards? Thanks for your help!

Yes. I have a Fire Red and Leaf Green with the Nintendo circled they are real copies I purchased from Toys R Us when I was younger. Nintendo used 2 different circuit boards for North America and Australia

If you already bought the game you should always try it on and check if: there is already a save file, even though some people may delet it before selling the game, see if it saves, see if some weird message appears after the title screen (the batery has run out message is completely normal btw) and the last thing to do is probably check if the game can trade with other games. Fake games are getting better and better unfortunatelyand and all this aspects may work in a fake game, but keep them in mind nonetheless since if one of them doesnt check, your copy might be a fake.

Anyway, ive ramlbed for way too much but i bought a copy of fire red and had a really hard time confirming it was real, so in case someone is in the same situation as me, they dont have to do as much research. One last thing, always check with reference that is from the same region of your game, and despite US fakes being more common, keep in mind that there are also PAL region fakes, and if you bought one european copy like i did its even harder to find images on the internet. Anyway, be carefull and cheers!

On my copy it was. It may have went through a couple revision or two, but without taking apart more copies to verify, I would not know. As long as the chip layout is the same and has tell-tale 4 square on the back side, likely genuine.

About the the white Nintendo stamp inside the board:

The games released in batches and therefore have different stamps but are genuine games from Nintendo. Also the capacitor inside the board may have altered placements.

Label: Notice the are different labels depending the games location sales. European versions (EUR) has own label art. North America (USA) has own label art. Australia (AUS) has own label art. Still same English game.

English cartridge release versions and revisions :

If your game has two numbers then it is version 1.0 (original release).

If your game has two numbers followed by a letter A then it is version 1.1. Some texts and bugs fixed.

If your game has two numbers followed by a letter B then it is version 1.2. Berry glitch fixed.

Only Pokemon Emerald is 1.0 and has never got revisions.

Hey sorry to bother you but could use some help,just bought a firered copy that was two mx chips,it doesnt have a copyright symbol or date before the nintendo imprint on top of the connector pins but everything else seems legit.Factory imprinted numbers are 00A E4 i Believe.

Oh i see,so the definitive way is trading to another generation with a nds?Ive tried looking for countless authentic cartridges and from what ive seen is Some boards are different because some either use a copyright symbol and date while others use a circled I and also either use 1 big chip or one small or 2 big mx chips but what doesnt change are the fact that they use MX chips, and the 4 gold squares on the back aswell as the imprinted factory numbers in the front.

Hey, I just bought a copy of Leaf Green. Things seem to be normal, however, the board resembles your fire red board instead of the leaf Green one. I have a picture I can share. Can you please help me?

Never mind! I fixed it!! I took apart the pak and I noticed a bunch of dark gunk all over the back of the circuit board. And, with a little time, a peg leg, and some patience, I got the gunk off and it works great!

Once you have caught an ample supply of Pokmon, you'll want to trade them with your family and friends to get rare Pokemon, or avoid the work of catching certain hard-to-grab monsters. In fact, whenever catching Pokmon, it is always a good idea to grab two (especially with rare ones), so that when it comes trading time, you have some interesting Pokmon to offer.

To trade Pokmon, go to the upstairs of the Pokmon Center, and have your friend go there as well (in his/her version of the game). Go to the far right counter and select the Trade Center option at the Pokmon Cable Club or go to the Wireless Union Room and use the wireless adapter to connect with other users. Pokmon can be traded between LeafGreen, FireRed, Sapphire and Ruby. Trading between the Sapphire and Ruby games is the only way to get many Pokemon and Items into this game.

Through trading, certain Pokmon will evolve in different ways. Experiment with held items while trading in order to get your Pokemon to transform in even more new and interesting ways. Here is a handy list of the Pokemon that evolve via trade:

Hello everyone! Here is the presentation of my rom hack: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Heaven. I've always loved Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but I was always frustrated by the lack of difficulty, and the fact that the game was finishable without using all the QoL offered by the game, like IQ, linked moves and other mechanics. After discovering SkyTemple, I tried to create my own rom hack, and finally get the game I always wanted to play.

A secondary version "Explorers of Hell" also exists, and is available by joining the discord. This one has all the dialogues modified with dark humor, so if you are sensitive, I don't recommend you to play it.

In this thread, I will present you some new features, you will also have some screenshots of the game, and you will have some data related to the game, like the list of legendary Pokmon that can be found with the mystery part/secret slab or the list of new attacks. First of all, I want to thank the whole SkyTemple team, this would not have been possible without their engine and hard work. I also want to thank the spriters without whom the new Pokmon could not have appeared in my game. Finally, I would like to thank Mond who generally helped me a lot in the creation of my rom hack. He also created his rom hack: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon : Explorers of Alpha, I invite you all to go and see his project. Remember to talk to the Porygon2 in the game crossroad for a detailed list of spcial thanks.

- Some pokemon abilities have been changed or added. I won't spoil everything, but for example, Cranidos gets Rock Head, Ninetales gets Drought, Ponyta and Rapidash get Quick Feet instead of Run Away etc...
