Pokemon Fire Red Unleashed ROM (Hacks, Cheats + Download Link) (2024)

Also, be sure to check out Pokemon Bismuth.

So, this is your typical Fire Red beginner’s ROM hack. I made it in the fashion of Smith’s Pokemon Legacy series and used quite a lot of his updates to Gen 1&2 to re-tweak this. Examples: I updated stats for the likes of Beedrill, changed cut to be a BUG type move, but also included a few of my own changes. Golduck is now a Water/Psychic, Butterfree is Bug/Psychic, Ledian is Bug/Fighting with some new moves added to it’s moveset to go along with these changes.

I also made all of Pokemon in Gen 3 available to the player, I kept all story fights vanilla (meaning Gyms, Giovanni and Elite 4), tweaked how Blue works, and changed trainers on Routes to match the new wild Pokemon so you’re not always battling the same things over and over even Team Rocket grunts got a face lift. I also tweaked the Sevii Islands to feel more “post game” by making the Pokemon there stronger.

Features

• Trade evolutions evolve by special item “Link Stone” bought in
  Celedon department store with all other evolution items
  (DeepSeaTooth, DeepSeaScale, Upgrade, and Dragon Scale).
• Every Pokemon from Gen 3 is available throughout Kanto! And I
  tried really hard to make them make sense, to really freshen up Kanto
  and give players a bigger variety for challenges or whatever.
• Moved Moltres back to Victory Road.
• The Sevii Islands levels are much more “postgame” as far as wild
  encounters go, following the same philosophy I used for Kanto.
• Added the Johto Legendaries (Ho-Oh, Lugia, Raikou, Entei, Suicune,
  and Celebi) to the Sevii Islands. (See Encounters document for full
  list of where to find ‘em all.)
• Added Mew to Cerulean Cave.
• The Hoenn Legendaries are acquired from in game trades. (See
  below)
• Reworked Blue so that he shows growth throughout his journey.
• Added a new Pokemon to each member of the Round 2 teams of
  Elite 4 so now they all have 6 (may rework later for more of a
  challenge).
• Fixed Nidorina and Nidoqueen so they can breed. I’ve never really
  understood why they were locked out to begin with…
• Fixed all trade evolutions to evolve by other means. (See list below)
• Added all evolution items to Celadon Department Store F4.
• Added Rare Candy, PP Up, and PP Max to Celadon Department Store
  F5 Vitamin guy (lowered prices of all of that to $1 as well).
• Rocket Game Corner Coins prices are now 1,000 for 250 coins and
  10,000 for 2,000. I know. It’s still a rip off, but it’s still Team Rocket.
  (Also all hidden coins are 250 per find!)
• Masterball is purchasable in Indigo Plateau (it’s not free though!)
• Tweaked some stats, types, and moves for some Pokemon… See list
  below.
• Moved the Legendary Pokemon into breeding categories, not sure
  if this will make them “breedable” so I recommend using Ditto if you
  want to experiment. I certainly will.
• Gym Leader rematches are available after you beat the Elite 4, except
  for Giovanni for story reasons.
• Black/White Repel system (asks to use another once it runs out).
• Fixed National Dex evolutions
• Vitamins can get your EV’s to the 252 limit in any stat rather than the usual 100.
• Made sure Mew will obey.
• Gain EXP for catching a Pokemon.
• Gain full EXP when Pokemon participates in battle (easier switch training)
• Reusable TM’s and deletable HM’s.
• You can now survive poison in the overworld with 1HP.

• Kakuna was given Poison Sting and Harden as level 1 moves.
• Nidorina is now in Monster/Field breeding category.

  into Flying Breeding category.
• Mewtwo has been moved into Human like breeding category.
• Mew, Celebi, and Jiriachi have been moved into Fairy breeding
  category.
• Bayleef/ Meganium are now Grass/ Dragon because I liked what it
  did in Crystal Legacy.
• Tweaked Cyndaquil line’s shiny sprites to match the Gen 2 versions
  colors. (I liked those better. Purple fire just looked amazing.)

  in Crystal Legacy.

  STAB move at Lv34.

  category.
• Silicoon was given Tackle and Harden as level 1 moves.
• Cascoon was given Poison Sting and Harden as level 1 moves.
• Feebas evolves into Milotic by Friendship (because I think having it
  bond makes more sense than just making it level up while with a
  trainer) Clamperl evolves into Huntail via Sun Stone
• Clamperl evolves into Gorebyss via Moon Stone
• Regirock, Regice, Registeel are now in the Mineral breeding category.
• Kyogre has been moved to Water2/ Dragon breeding category.
• Groudon has been moved to Monster/Dragon breeding category.
• Rayquaza has been moved to Flying/Dragon breeding category.
• Latios and Latias have been moved to Dragon breeding category.
• Deoxys has been moved to Amorphous breeding category.

Known Bugs

• For some reason, legendary Pokemon no longer leave the overworld
  unless you run for them (still haven’t figured out how I managed that,
  but it’s great for shiny hunting I suppose)
• Pokedex entries for non-Kanto pokemon don’t show, apparently my
  national dex didn’t work as intended…) but you can evolve non
  Kanto Pokemon and friendship evolutions.
• DO NOT try and talk to Ho-Oh after you battle him on Mt. Ember! It
  will soft lock your game. This is an after effect of the legendaries no
  longer vanishing after battle. Like I said, not sure what I did. It’s just an
  odd quirk. (The Sacred Ash is in the dead end just before Ho-Oh.)
