Hack Name: Pokemon FireRed Battle Edition

Hack Original: Pokemon FireRed

Status: v1.2

Language: English

This hack aims to make the game more difficult and your next visit to Kanto a bit different while still trying to stay true to the original.

Best of Gen3 Kanto Dex

151 of the best Pokemon of Gen3 have been condensed into the Kantodex with 50 more Pokemon catchable on the Sevii Islands.
The majority of the Pokedex can be completed before the E4 and most of the Pokemon can be caught after obtaining Surf which means you have a wide variety of possible candidates for your team.

Higher Difficulty

Each and every trainer has been gifted better Ai and better IVs as well as new teams.
Special attention has been given to the Boss battles which were made considerably harder.
To up the ante even more, in-battle item use has been disabled (not including hold items) and the battle style has been permanently set to set.
The exp curve has been altered as well to accommodate these changes.
The Fairy type, as well as the physical/special split, have been implemented in this hack.
In the post-game, you can earn Mega Stones by battling the Gym Leaders that are visiting the Sevii Islands.
