About Pokemon Red Fire Version
Pokémon Red Fire Version is designed as a difficult, balanced, linear Nuzlocke experience while preserving the basic feel and structure of FireRed. Inspired by Emerald Kaizo Nuzlocke runs, it removes route branching, makes nearly every one of its 300 trainers mandatory, changes wild encounters, and disables healing items in battle. SmithJack built this English GBA hack from Pokémon FireRed. Pokémon receive more viable learnsets, EVs are removed, each species has one ability, and inexpensive Rare Candy in Viridian replaces grinding.
What's in it
- The region is modified to remove branching paths and create a linear route.
- There are 300 trainers, 299 of whom are mandatory.
- Wild Pokémon placement and encounter rates are extensively changed.
- Pokémon have revised learnsets intended to improve viability and effectiveness.
- EVs are removed.
- Each Pokémon species has one ability.
- Some evolutions are changed to make Pokémon more accessible.
- Healing items cannot be used in battle.
- Rare Candy costs $1 in Viridian to handle leveling without grinding.
- Fifteen Big Mushrooms are placed around the region for the Move Reminder.
