PROGRESS: Project Version 2.0 (07/06/2026). The game is a completed overhaul, featuring a fully playable campaign from Pallet Town through the Elite Four, alongside post-game content on the Sevii Islands.

A Vanilla+ rom hack of FireRed built on the CFRU-Expansion engine. The game's namesake feature is a garden area accessed via a teleporter in Bill's house containing cut Pokémon from the GS Spaceworld Beta, alongside modern battle mechanics, later-generation evolutions, and updated trainer challenges.

🛑Features:

➡️Bill's Secret Garden: Accessed via a teleporter in Bill's house, this new area allows players to find and catch cut Pokémon from the GS Spaceworld Beta.

➡️CFRU-Expansion Base: Includes engine changes such as the Fairy-type, modern moves and battle mechanics, the DexNav, as well as Gen 9 Pokémon, abilities, and items.

➡️All Gen 3 Catchable: Encounter tables are updated so all 386 Pokémon from Gen 3 can be caught, with nearly all of them available before the Elite Four.

➡️Later Gen Forms and Evolutions: Includes pre-evolutions, evolutions, forms, or variants of the original 386 Gen 3 Pokémon introduced in later generations, including Paradox forms accessible as split evolutions.

➡️Unique Evolutions and Special Forms: Features standard evolutions by level for Mega Sableye (Gemineye), Mega Mawile (Feauxile), and Mega Chimecho, as well as special forms like Partner Eevee and Cosplay Pikachu.

➡️Rebalanced Trainer Teams: Trainer teams utilize newly available Pokémon and fully evolved teams in mid-to-late game areas, creating natural challenges without being designed as a strict difficulty hack.

➡️Training Support Systems: Features repeatable Move Tutors, Multi-Move Tutors, an Egg Move tutor in Fuchsia City, an IV Tutor to maximize stats, Nature Mints, and EV-reducing Berries.

➡️Quality of Life Changes: Includes an Exp Share with Exp All properties (toggleable as a Key Item), increased shiny odds, increased Power item EV yields to 12, non-consumable hold-evolution items, and starting with Running Shoes.

➡️New Areas and Bosses: Introduces new locations like Amarillo Grove on Route 14, small catching areas throughout the region, and high-level, customized Super Bosses on Seven Island.

➡️Expanded Shops: Adds second vendors to PokeMarts, rare item vendors in locations like Celadon Mansion, Fuchsia City, and the Sevii Islands, and expanded selections in the Department Store.
