About Pokemon Metal Red
Brendan replaces the usual rival in this FireRed story retelling, where Pokémon through Generation VIII bring Mega Evolution, Gigantamax, Alolan forms, Galar forms, Ash-Greninja, and Armored Mewtwo. Battle systems add the Fairy type, Physical/Special split, Capture EXP, reusable TMs and Poké Balls, trade evolution through Trade Stones, and improved trainer AI. New events, moves, abilities, sprites, graphics, and running shoes round out the changes. Romsprid.xyz made this completed GBA hack of FireRed, version 2.04.
