Solo Dev Team: Elle
Software: Hex Maniac Advance
Project Background:
My tablet recently died, so I haven't been able to do my usual content. I've been craving work, so I thought I'd give romhacks a shot! I started back in March, and while it's an adjustment, it's not as hard as I thought- tedious, but largely straightforward. Initially, I planned to simply fix Fire Red's terrible Pokédex balancing, but then I began changing story elements, then improving maps, and now it's at least 50% a new game. Still, it is my first ever hack, so it's probably a little rough around the edges. lol
Plot:
You play as either the male or female protagonist, who has recently moved to the Kanto region with your two moms, and immediately after arrival, your adventure begins, to defeat all eight gyms and become Champion! At the same time, trouble is brewing in the region, as the mischievous Team Rebuild is running around, causing architectural anarchy! As you progress in both your League training and heroic efforts, you will also learn a bit more about the history of the region, it's many rare Pokémon, and it's primary Legendary, a ghostly knight whose myth has been largely lost to time.
Features:
New Writing
Everything from the main story, to side events, the NPC's, and flavor text has all been rewritten, blending a mix of originality and FRLG nostalgia.
A New Rival
More than just a sprite swap, Jade has a her own backstory and motives. You both share a strong bond, and underneath her playfully mean exterior, you can tell she cares. I may include other new characters in the future, but we'll start with the basics.
More Pokémon
Along with the main 151 Pokémon, an additional 100+ from Johto & Hoenn have been included to add more diversity. With it, all encounters have been changed, and all trainer teams as well!
Improved Visuals
Along with new colors and new tiles, all maps have been greatly improved, and all routes have been expanded as well! The final result will be familiar yet new.
New Starters
Rather than the classic Kanto starters, a new trio is yours for the taking! Will you choose Bulbear the Grass type bear Pokémon, Bubblotl the Water type axolotl Pokémon, or Matchsnek the Fire type snake Pokémon?
