PROGRESS: Project Version 4.0 Final (22/02/2026) - This release features a complete overhaul of Kanto with an alternate Team Rocket storyline, expanded post-game islands, and a custom Shiny Charm system.

Based on the 1st Generation Games using a Fire Red 1.1 base, this game features front sprites from Pokémon Yellow, Red, and Blue, as well as Lugia's sprite from the G/S/C series. It restores Moltres to Victory Road and allows Mewtwo to be captured after the League without needing to collect 60 Pokémon first.

🛑Features:

➡️Alternate Rocket Path: You can become a member of Team Rocket at the Nugget Bridge, featuring an improved Rocket coin system to manage services and maintain game difficulty.

➡️Rocket Silph AG Building: Once you join Team Rocket, Gym Leaders will not battle you until you purchase a "Fake ID" here; you can also buy/sell Pokémon and Rocket balls or use escort services.

➡️Rocket Coins: Obtained by defeating Rivals or Gym Leaders, these can be given to Giovanni (60 coins) to unlock new areas in the Silph AG building and the Celadon Hotel.

➡️Antagonist Leaf: The trainer Leaf is added as a special antagonist battle if the player chooses to join Team Rocket.

➡️Expanded Pokédex: All 386 Pokémon are capturable, plus around 60 Pokémon from the 4th Generation with original cries and 20 custom-made Pokémon found in a Hidden Map.

➡️Glitchworld: A dedicated area based on the Gen 1 glitch maps where players can encounter and obtain MISSINGNO.

➡️Form Changes: Giratina and Shaymin can change forms at their capture locations, while Deoxys forms can be changed at the Pewter City Museum.

➡️Expanded Islands: Islands 1-7 feature new big maps including Faraway Island, Navel Rock, Birth Island, Southern Island, Fullmoon Island, and Sinhoe Isle (which contains Sinnoh/Hoenn Pokémon and the Lake Trio).

➡️Stealing Missions: Four missions added to the Celadon Hideout that reward players with in-game trade Pokémon and Rocket coins.

➡️Mewtwo Creation Event: A special Rocket Path event in Saffron City that allows high-ranking Rockets to obtain Mewtwo (this replaces the Cerulean Cave encounter).

➡️Working Clone Machine: A Rocket Path feature in Celadon that allows players to clone Pokémon at Level 60 (gender and moves may vary).

➡️Shiny Charm Mechanic: Players can select between two Shiny Charms (1/20 or 1/120 rates) by reading the text in front of the player's room stairs, which also includes a one-time guaranteed shiny encounter option.

➡️Hidden World Plot Twist: A special map that holds a plot twist based on how the player has progressed through the game.

➡️Wild Starters and Rare Encounters: Squirtle, Eevee, Vulpix, and Chimchar have been added to various wild routes so all starters are obtainable.

➡️Visual Improvements: Sabrina’s hair color is corrected to black, Sinnoh starter backsprites are aligned with the text box, and Pokedex entries correctly display normal sprites while using the charm.
