What is this ROM hack?
This ROM hack is inspired by a PokeTuber called TyranitarTube and his EXTREME randomiser series, but it doesn’t include the randomiser part because I’m not sure how to do that.
If you’re not familiar with the EXTREME randomiser series, it’s a type of Pokemon game where everything is randomized and there’s a new story with special or custom features. The EXTREME series is known for being difficult, mainly because of strong enemy teams. FireRed EXTREME is a fangame based on this series. It keeps the key features of the EXTREME series but has a different story than the original FireRed. While the stories of FireRed EXTREME and the EXTREME series are connected, they aren’t considered part of the same official storyline.
Gameplay
This ROM hack is still in the early stages, but I have big plans for it. The game will have a custom story, new sprites, characters, items, maps, and Pokemon. Right now, there are about 20 custom Pokemon, and there will likely be more as development continues. Almost everything in the game has been edited, including dialogue, wild encounters, player sprites, and starter Pokemon. Some custom music has been added as well (credits below). The custom Pokemon are mostly reskins of existing sprites, with improved stats, abilities, and moves. There are 9 custom Pokemon you can get in the game, including their evolutions, and they are all stronger than regular Pokemon.
Story
The story was developed quickly, but I think it’s turned out okay. Here’s a spoiler warning—don’t read ahead if you want to avoid spoilers! After Ho-oh revived the three legendary beasts, some of its power spread around the Bell Tower. This caused nearby dead Pokemon to come back to life temporarily. These revived Pokemon are called ‘Sacred Pokemon’. Scientists captured three of them for experiments. While they managed to help these Sacred Pokemon, they also tried using the power on other dead Pokemon, which didn’t work out well. These failed experiments became very aggressive and were in constant pain. The three Sacred Pokemon managed to escape while the failed experiments attacked. That’s all for now—since the game is still early in development, there’s not much more story planned. There are also Pokemon called ‘Mutated Pokemon,’ which are somewhat like X-Men but in Pokemon form.
