PROGRESS: Project Version 1.0 (COMPLETE) - 06/03/2026 - This is a fully completed ROM hack from start to finish. The main story, post-game content (Black Market/National Dex quests), and all technical features are fully implemented and playable.

Experience a dark and mature sequel to the original Kanto journey, set 20 years after a devastating Great War that claimed the lives of Red and Blue. As Red’s child, you must navigate a world where peace between Kanto and Johto is shattering and Champion Lance has fallen. This complete FireRed overhaul features a roster of 386 Pokémon including powerful future evolutions like Annihilape and Sylveon, a modernized Fairy-type chart, and a heavy emphasis on Double Battles. With updated shiny sprites at a 1/257 rate and a gritty narrative containing adult language, this is a high-stakes adventure for those looking to restore stability to a region on the brink of war.
