Info

Pokemon Red Fire Version is SmithJack's take on a difficulty hack of Fire Red. He was inspired by Emerald Kaizo, specifically nuzlocke runs of Emerald Kaizo. His aim was to create a ROM hack that’s difficult to nuzlocke, balanced, and linear while retaining the general feel and structure of the original game.

List of Features

To achieve linearity certain roadblocks had to be implemented to eliminate branching paths. These take the form of altered environments, new NPCs, added Strength boulders and Rock Smash rocks, and rearrangement of some key items. The world map has been similarly altered to reflect the modified region.
There are 300 trainers, 299 of which are mandatory. Trainers have been repositioned such that they cannot be avoided. There are added double battles, a rain section, and a sun section. The pokemon count of trainers gradually increases throughout the game with bosses always having 6. The level curve has been tuned to minimize the need for leveling outside of trainer battles. Blue has access to the same set of resources and pokemon as the player relative to his location in the game, limited to 1 pokemon per area.
Wild pokemon placement and encounter rates have been changed significantly. New encounter locations have been added. Gift pokemon and trade pokemon have been removed.
Pokemon have revamped learnsets that greatly improve their viability and effectiveness. Power points have been changed and accuracy has been boosted on many moves.
Some evolutions have been adjusted for increased accessibility of pokemon. EVs have been removed. Each pokemon species has 1 ability.
Shop inventories have all been changed. Berries are widely available for purchase. Rare Candy is available in Viridian for $1 to cover any miscellaneous leveling without grinding. Healing items have been disabled in battle.
Field items both visible and hidden have been changed. 15 Big Mushrooms are scattered throughout the region for the Move Reminder who’s been moved to Celadon.
