PROGRESS: Project Version 1.5 - 26/02/2026 - This is a complete reimagining of FireRed/LeafGreen, meticulously fixing original issues and integrating modern QoL features. The latest major update (V1.5) notably makes all Hoenn Pokémon catchable and significantly expands the Sevii Islands, offering a definitive and highly replayable Kanto experience.
Inspired by the popular "Legacy" series of ROM hacks, this decomp hack is the ultimate, definitive way to experience Kanto. It meticulously fixes the original game's biggest flaws—removing excessive HM trees, time-wasting tutorials, and the lack of cross-gen evolutions—while injecting massive Quality of Life improvements. With 30 new Johto and cross-gen Pokémon natively integrated, selectable difficulty modes (including a built-in Nuzlocke), completely overhauled trainer teams, and a massively expanded Sevii Islands post-game where you can catch all Hoenn Pokémon, this is a fresh, modern, and highly polished return to the Gen 3 classics.
🛑Features:
➡️Legacy-Inspired Overhaul: Built as an unofficial "Legacy" version of FRLG, porting many battle engine changes, stat rebalances, and features from Yellow/Emerald Legacy.
➡️Expanded Native Pokédex (181 Main Dex): The main game dex features 181 Pokémon, seamlessly integrating 30 Johto and cross-gen evolutions (like Crobat and Scizor) into the natural Kanto progression.
➡️Catch All Hoenn Pokémon (V1.5 Feature): After a post-game quest on Route 10, wild Hoenn Pokémon will begin appearing all across Kanto, complete with Mirage trainers holding rare Pokémon.
➡️Selectable Difficulty Modes: Choose between Normal (classic rules), Hard (level caps, Set mode, no items in battle), and Hardcore (adds permanent death/Nuzlocke rules).
➡️Completely Revamped Trainers: Bosses, Gym Leaders, and regular NPCs have significantly improved teams, movesets, and level curves (e.g., Giovanni has his signature Rhydon, Champion capped at Lv 65).
➡️Major HM Overhaul: Cut trees and Rock Smash rocks are removed permanently once broken. HMs can be replaced, and many HM requirements have been reworked or made optional.
➡️Expanded Post-Game & Sevii League: The Sevii Islands are vastly improved with new battles, a "Sevii League" of boss trainers, expanded map areas (like Two Island South with Southside Cave/Rock), and a Celebi treasure hunt.
➡️Famechecker Rematches & Rewards: Filling out the Famechecker now grants unique rewards (like Castform and Soul Dew) and is the key to unlocking Gym Leader rematches.
➡️Improved Map Design: Empty or poorly designed areas (like Mt. Moon and Cinnabar Island) have been fleshed out, new areas like Mt. Moon Square and an under-Rock Tunnel floor added, and Rock on Route 10 leads to Hoenn Pokémon.
➡️Fixed Roaming Legendaries: Roamers no longer use Roar, have good IVs, and become much easier to track and catch after defeating the Elite Four.
➡️Both Versions Playable: Reignited (FireRed) and Regrown (LeafGreen) are both available. You can catch all 386 Pokémon in either game, but wild encounter locations and specific trades differ (e.g., Oddish/Bellsprout in Viridian Forest).
➡️Trade Evolutions Fixed: All trade-evolution Pokémon can now evolve using their specific item or via leveling up (e.g., Feebas with Prism Scale).
➡️Improved Pokémon Stats, Movesets & Abilities: Bug Type is buffed, many Pokémon (like Nidoran line) get better stats, movesets, and abilities (e.g., Nidorans get Lightning Rod/Run Away, Chansey's Lucky Punch buffed).
➡️Dark and Ghost Swapped Types: A unique type chart change.
➡️Modern EXP Share & Early Running Shoes: Get the Running Shoes immediately in Oak's Lab, and receive the modern EXP Share in their original place.
➡️EV and IV Checkers: Easily check your Pokémon's stats on the 2nd floor of any Pokémon Center.
➡️Bag Sorting & Faster Healing: Nurse Joy heals your team much faster, and your bag can be auto-sorted.
➡️Repel Reuse & Repeated Medicine Use: The game automatically prompts you to use another Repel when one runs out, and apply multiple Potions or Rare Candies without leaving the menu.
➡️Improved TM Placement & Reusability: Essential TMs (Hidden Power, Sludge Bomb) are placed better (e.g., Ice Beam in Seafoam, Thunderbolt in Power Plant), and Move Tutors have been made more accessible (Moved to Cinnabar).
➡️Safari Zone Buffs: Bait, Rocks, and Safari Balls have been tweaked to make catching significantly less frustrating.
➡️Respawnable Items: Hidden items respawn after taking just 1000 steps.
➡️Move Description Window: Check move details directly in battle (using Select button).
➡️Team Rocket Theme: Custom Team Rocket battle music (from Crystal Dust).
➡️Unlock Truck Area Early: Access the truck without trading (though no Mew).
➡️QoL Event Unlocks: NPCs block trees until SS Anne rival, Misty/Blue open Dig House, and beating an overleveled guard opens Vermillion gates.
➡️Ported Emerald QoL Features: Out-of-battle ability effects, Premier Balls, and EV reducing Berries.
➡️Improved Shops: Various merchants (e.g., Two Island Merchant) have better item selections.
➡️Trainer Tower Enhancements: Singles and Doubles have more Pokémon, better sets, and rewards.
➡️More Overworld Sprites: Increased diversity for trainer overworld sprites.
➡️RBY Battle Animations: Champion and Oak battles feature RBY-style battle animations.
➡️Early Daisy Grooming: Daisy's grooming available earlier and provides more friendship.

➡️Hail and Sandstorm Duration: Weather moves now last for ten turns.
➡️Lost Cave & Sudowoodo: Lost Cave content and a Sudowoodo tree to find.
➡️VS Seeker Upgrade: Post-game VS Seeker takes 1/5 steps and finds 100% of trainers in range.
➡️National Dex Requirement Removed: No 60 Pokémon requirement for National Dex.
➡️Egg Tutor: Available after beating a certain set of trainers.
➡️Johto Trainers: A certain set of Johto trainers are available to battle.
➡️Catch All 180 Pokémon: Catch all Pokémon in the main dex and meet Oak.
