◆ FEATURES · 21 TOTAL
- ▸ For example: in Fire Red, Ekans is present in route 4. In Leaf Green, Sandshrew is present in route 4. In Fire Red Essence, Both Ekans and Sandshrew are present in route 4. This is true for every area in the game.
- ▸ For example: Graveler, Machoke, Haunter, and Kadabra.
- ▸ If you chose Omanyte, an NPC will give you Kabuto, and vice versa. If you chose Hitmonlee, an NPC will give you Hitmonchan, and vice versa.
- ▸ Pinsir was available in Leaf Green, so it’s only fair that he is available in this hack too. A level 25 Pinsir is available for 5,500 coins. This option replaces Clefairy as a prize Pokémon.
- ▸ There will be two Pokéballs in the final room of Rocket Warehouse on Five Island containing the two starter Pokémon you did not pick.
- ▸ If you complete the Kanto Dex and receive your Diploma from Celadon City, you will receive Mew as a reward.
- ▸ This will allow you to travel to Navel Rock and Birth Island to catch Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys.
- ▸ In the original game, only one legendary dog was available depending on your starter choice, and it would roam Kanto until you found it. They suffered from two glitches: they always had bad IVs, and if Raikou or Entei used Roar they would be gone from the game forever. Now all three Johto legendaries are available and can be found in Navel Rock.
- ▸ The Altering Cave was originally supposed to contain various Johto Pokémon that would alternate based on a mystery gift. This never made it into the final game and instead, the cave had nothing but Zubats. Now, the cave contains all the Johto Pokémon that would have been available to catch. These Pokémon are: Mareep, Aipom, Pineco, Shuckle, Teddiursa, Houndour, Stantler, and Smeargle.
- ▸ They are now single-use items used to evolve Porygon, Scyther, Onix, Seadra, Poliwhirl, and Slowpoke. They are still found in the same locations and are still the rewards for completing the Trainer Tower.
- ▸ Just like in later Pokémon games, you are free to use TMs as many times as you want.
- ▸ Now HMs can easily be replaced by other moves.
- ▸ This makes the beginning of the game less tedious and makes the later game more convenient when indoors.
- ▸ Just like in later Pokémon games, the increased stat will be red while the decreased stat will be blue.
- ▸ Just like in later Pokémon games, this makes egg hatching much less tedious.
- ▸ Move tutors can now be used as many times as you want, except for the move tutor that teaches the ultimate move to your starter in Cape Brink.
- ▸ The Move Reminder on Two Island will now help you relearn moves for free.
- ▸ Instead of paying $1,000 for 50 coins and $10,000 for 500 coins, you now pay $1,000 for 500 coins and $10,000 for 5,000 coins. This makes getting Porygon and some essential TMs much less tedious.
- ▸ This makes it so Moon stones and Sun stones are no longer finite items.
- ▸ The Silk Scarf replaces the Smoke Ball and the Dragon Fang replaces the Yellow Flute.
- ▸ For example: Brock now says that TMs have infinite uses instead of saying they can only be used once.
