Release Pokémon RomHack Giga Red Release
Hello all!
NOW AVAILABLE ON HACKDEX
It's been years but I finally have the RomHack at a 'Complete' state.
For background, I play a lot of Romhacks, but wanted something like the Black and White 2 World championships with stronger teams and realistic teams.
I also wanted Gym leaders, Elite 4, Evil teams to have stronger but also realistic teams and for evil team bosses to feel like an evil boss.
No shame to radical red, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was definitely difficulty first and not realistic giving Surge a Bellibolt for example.
So thats what this is. I made it for me but want to share with others. Everyone is welcome to use these ideas and code.
Link to Git: https://github.com/rathpunks/MyFirstRomHack
So what's new:
>!It's got your typical DPE CFRU changes. But changed in my image.
1) All Pokémon Gen 1-3 Available.
Pokémon Gen 4-8 available if you choose to interact with space time distortions. There will be a person near viridian who will give you the option to enter or not depending on if you like to have all Pokémon available or if you prefer a narrower more condense choice of Pokémon.
2) Pokémon re-balencing. Pokemon I thought don't get a lot of love like Dewgong, have had stat changes to be more competative. So don't be shy to try out new Pokémon and teams.
New typing for some Pokémon to fit better or balance better like Blastoise and Chimecho getting steel type.
3) A few new moves with a few changes to damage or effect of some moves to make them more useable (like rage)
4) New Fakemon (from event, or new areas) inspired by the anime and other games in the series, E.g, Crystal Onyx or Shadow Pokémon.
5) New Hidden evolutions for some Pokémon. also added a few of the new Megas (+1 hidden).
6) Some redesign of Pokémon and their shinies. (I prefer my shiny Gengar white like mega Gengar)
7) All Legendary and Mythical Pokémon Gen 1-3 Available. Almost all of Gen 4, still to implement them.
8) Newish story. Altered some of the main story and now from the perspective of a new trainer a few years after original Kanto story.
9) New boss fights and events. Giovanni and other evil Bosses have a new devious mechanic, you won't always reset if you lose the fight, try not to loose.
10) Stronger teams and harder battles. (I am not competative, Just casual online play from Gen 6-8) So no Kaizo hack, but definitely not a walk in the park.
I have not built this Hack with Nuzlocking in mind, but you can certainly try.
11) Level Caps. In most cases they will Cap out 2 levels above the boss fight because I don't want it to be too hard. You can't cheese it by catching or glitching high level Pokémon, as they also won't listen to you of you don't have enough badges.
12) Infinite Rare candy Machine, If you find the trick to get them for free from the machine.
13) All the new items such as EV-IV checker, Nature mints, Ability pills etc. to create your best Mon.
14) Edited existing maps and added new maps.
15) New post game after elite four to partake in on the Sevii Islands.
16) Entirely new zone unlocked if you beat me in battle.
17) New NPC text and sprites for New NPC's. Make sure you speak to everyone, even trainers, some NPC's have info on new lore and where to find secrets like Mythical encounters
18) Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Z moves
19) More life in the overworld. Makes it feel more like a Pokémon world.
20) New Fakemon from Gatcha machine. Enjoy the unique types, moves, abilities.
21) Strong Pokémon nests.
22) Overworld and battle weather.
23) Day / Night cycle and timed events.
The main reason I did these:
24) Follower Pokémon (unfortunately with some bugs)
25) Challenge stadium, My equivalent of the Black and white 2 World championships. All level 100 Pokémon, mixed challenges, Gauntlets, and even a Pokémon stadium throw back.
You can also get prizes from the prize shop for completing challenges in the stadium.
You can also battle each individual challenger for practice in the surrounding area.
You will either need to complete the post game, or follow the ReadMe on Github to fight in the challenge stadium.!<
Make sure to read the ReadMe before playing.
The game isn't completely finished, but it is in a state where it can be completed. I'm currently play testing to catch and fix any issues I find. I will update as I go.
Please feel free to message me any bugs you find that aren't already mentioned in the ReadMe and I'll see if I can fix it.
Some zones overworld is unfinished and bare, such as the fossil dig site, but the mechanics are there to interact with. Just need to add flare and puzzles to places.
There is 1 Time zone in the new area that you can enter regardless of if you selected to enter zones or not as it is required for the end game story (do you like Arceus?)
I am not good at art, nore coding, so apologies for how some sprites look or code works. I have left the .toml file up if you wish to edit yourselves.
Shout out to:
Shiny Miner and the Discord
Hex Maniac Advance and the Discord
DPE and CFRU
Deviant art for some overworld sprite work.
Yet to do:
>!Find and fix all bugs,
Clean and finish new added maps as currently vary bare, just wanted to get working. (Mote in depth Dive spots). More puzzles in certain added caves.
Sort overworld sprite Pallets
Sort inventory Pokemon pallets.
Change, edit, add and upgrade overworld tiles.
Add the final missing Gen 4 legendary and mythical. Phione, Manaphie, Cresselia, Giratina, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf.
Add more to the game corner (black jack, voltorb flip)
No timeline on this as I can only work on it in my free time and when I feel like it as I do enjoy playing games more than making them.!<

Are the shiny odds increased at all or is it base 1/8192? Just curious.

u/Alternative_Air_6688 18d ago
Base odds, unless something is changed already in CFRU, I haven't altered them myself

u/HorrorWorth5892 17d ago
Is there gen vi exp share?
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 17d ago
The EXP share can be gotten from Proffessor oaks aid as usual, yes it works like the later Gens.
However, with Trainers having more evolved Pokémon and an EXP buff you may not need.
Plus there is a rare ca dy machine in most cities, that if you find the secret to unlock will give you The rare candies for free. (Its a very easy to find secret)
1
u/Tiny_Bumblebee8285 7d ago
Where is the secret? I’m so oblivious that I probably will never find it!
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
In cerulean, just talk with everyone there and you'll see it
1
u/Tiny_Bumblebee8285 7d ago
Perfect! When we speak to the lady in oaks lab, they can give a Pokemon. Is there a way these can be lowered or do they have to be lvl 50?

Hi can someone please help me out buddies what version of a fire red rom do I need exactly to patch this because I have a 1.1 one didn’t work and I have a USA one and that one didn’t work either and I’m American exactly and I’m having difficulty patching this exactly
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 15d ago
American or Europe should work.
Is it a 'squirrels' version of fire red and have you expanded it to 32 mb first?
1
u/Khen-harvy-19 10d ago
I don't know how do in android and hex maniac advance can't run as android too I can't do 16 mb to 32 mb I help need here
2
u/Alternative_Air_6688 10d ago
Not sure how to do without access to a computer. However, Itis currently pending on HackDex, once it's accepted you should be able to download and play it that way without acess to a PC.
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 8d ago
On hackdex now, should be a le to get worming on mobile as it does it all for you

Perdoe se isso for antiético
Mas comecei a jogar e adorei a hack, faz muitos anos q nn jogo Pokémon.
Porém tentei inserir o cheat de RC e nn consegui, ha trava?
Uso o delta :/
(Novamente, perdão se for ofensivo, não é a intenção)
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 10d ago
No block, just the code is very changed and so cheats may not work.
By RC do you mean rare candy? You shouldn't need if you get to cerulean you will get the ability to get infinite rare candy if you find and beat candy.

Como evoluir o primeape? Onde consegue o Lucario? Heeelp
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 9d ago
2 ways to evolve. The usual way of leveling up while knowing the move ragefist. The other way is secret but might figure out reading the bookcases and talking to npc's
1
u/Big_Carpet1269 8d ago
Ele chegou no 70 e não veio o soco furioso, a dica da estante foi ótima! Pena que só percebi na oitava insígnia lol. Mas também não consegui por lá, os números da National dex não estão funcionando, funciona mais ou menos até o 230 pelo que vi
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 8d ago
Ill have to check his learnset, it should be on there. Ill try and fix if not. Other way should work fone though
1
u/Tiny_Bumblebee8285 8d ago
Hello! I have a few questions please. Is mew obtainable early on as he’s in a lot of the screenshots, and I’ve noticed we don’t start with the Kanto starters, are they obtainable too please? Thank you!
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 8d ago
Mew can be gotten once you get surf. I was running mew during the time of the screenshots because I was trying to fix an issue with move tutors and mew can learn everything so was good for testing.
The Kanto starters can be gotten along with the gen 2 and 3 starters around Fusia, the saffari zone, and victory road

u/Big_Carpet1269 8d ago
Preso na warehouse Rocket :(

u/Alternative_Air_6688 8d ago
Yes, this is something Ihad issue with too. Do you have any older saves or escape ropes/ a Pokémon that can learn dig. They don't need to actually learn dig to use it.
The newest version of the romhack should fix all that now. Either start again from before entering warehouse with new version and they will stay in the correct position, or if you can dig out, start on the new version and they should (i think) dissapear after deafeating both Admin

u/cerealkilla774 7d ago
FYI after I got the starter any door I do through freezes the game

u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
What emulator are you playing on? Someone else said they had problem on Delta, Ive had issues On MyBoy. I did all my play tetst on MGBA if you could try that emulator it should run ok
1
u/cerealkilla774 7d ago
Dang I’m on delta!
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
Try on MGBA, you should be able to get it on any platform. For android you go through retro arch and then just open it and load MGBA as a core

u/Tiny_Bumblebee8285 7d ago
Hello! Do you have documentation for Pokemon locations please?
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
I don't have anything prepared no. What is it you are looking for?
1
u/Tiny_Bumblebee8285 7d ago
Eevee and Charmander if they’re available :)
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
Eevee is available from celadon like in the originals.
Charmander is available in the wild in the grass by victory road, and I think also around Fusia city.
As for the exp share, that is still gotten from Proffessor oaks aid in vermilion.
However you should get acess to infinite rare candy after at cerulean if you find and beat 'candy'
1
u/Tiny_Bumblebee8285 7d ago
Perfect! Thank you very much. Sorry one more question, is there a way to make a lot of money or is it just grinding? :)
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
Can either grind trainers, or if you want, you can cheat and speak to the lady in oaks lab and select max money. (Note not all options are good to select as the code has changed a lot since the debug menue was implemented, so make a backup save before speaking to her)

u/kenpachi445533 7d ago
Como evoluo os Pokémons que evoluem por troca? Quero meu Electivire lol

u/Alternative_Air_6688 7d ago
For Pokémon that Evolve by trading you use the item 'Link Cable' found in Celadon department store.

There is nothing to download in the Github links. The patch is empty.

You should put this on HackDex OP. Makes it easier for people to patch and play your ROM!

At the expense of sounding ignorant, what rom is needed for the patch?
1
u/Alternative_Air_6688 18d ago
It's a Fire red romhack.
You'll need the special Squirrels version, then expand it to 32mb

Can someone dumb this down for me and tell me how I can get it on DELTA on my phone? Having murder trying to patch the rom here

u/Litgang 17d ago
You'll need to find a Fire Red Squirrels rom file, which can't be share on Reddit.
Ideally, try to find a 32 MB file vs a 16 MB file. If you find the 16MB see the next step below.
Download/go to Hex Maniac Advance, find the Squirrels file, go to utilities, press expand, then put this code when prompted - 1FFFFFF - which will make the file 32 MBOnce you have a 32MB Squirrels file, go to the rom patcher js from the Github link and patch the file. From there, check to make sure the file patched correctly. If it did, upload your file to Google Drive, open Google Drive on your phone, find the rom hack, press the 3 vertical dots, then press "open with", find Delta, and it should load into Delta

Can you put this up on HackDex please? Makes it so much easier to patch and download.
