About Pokemon Fire Red: Backwards Edition
The Gym journey runs from Cinnabar through Fuchsia, Saffron, Celadon, Vermilion, Cerulean, Pewter, and Viridian in Pokémon FireRed: Backwards Edition. Slike's completed GBA hack of Pokémon FireRed reverses the usual route while revising trainer teams and wild encounters. Many Pokémon receive stronger stats, Gym Leader moves are adjusted, Surf is weaker, and Cut becomes a stronger Steel-type move. Nearly all Generation 1 through 3 Pokémon are available except Legendary Pokémon and some others, and a postgame follows the main adventure.
What's in it
- Follow the Gym route from Cinnabar to Fuchsia, Saffron, Celadon, Vermilion, Cerulean, Pewter, and Viridian.
- Many Pokémon have stronger stats.
- Gym Leader moves are changed to prevent early access to overly strong TMs.
- Some type matchups are changed.
- Surf has lower base power.
- Cut has higher base power and is Steel type.
- All trainer teams are changed.
- Wild encounters are changed, with nearly all Generation 1–3 Pokémon available except Legendary Pokémon and some others.
- Teleport is not a Psychic-type explosion.
- Pokémon can appear in puddles, as in Generation V.
