Description

Pokemon Coastal is a Fire Red ROM hack that stays true to the Gen 3 experience. The only addition from future generations is one Pokemon for a Gym Leader, which becomes available to the player. Apart from this, enjoy the classic FireRed experience in a new region. Three Legendary Pokemon are also available, hidden off the main path.

Explore the Fukala Region, a series of islands to the far west recently discovered by the Pokemon League. As a trainer, your mission is to test out the brand-new Gyms. Discover the secrets of these tropical islands, but be cautious—some inhabitants are hostile towards the Pokemon League and may wish to see it fall.

This hack is challenging and may require grinding at certain points, especially beyond the seventh Gym. However, the difficulty is balanced up to that point.

The creator is not a sprite artist, so sprites of established characters are used to represent new ones. For example, the Gym Leaders are based on people the creator knows in real life but use sprites from existing Gym Leaders or Elite Four members. Blaine’s sprite represents a character named Azure, and Maxie’s sprite from Emerald is used for Gym Leader #8, who is based on a friend. Keep in mind that these characters are different from the original ones whose sprites are used.

Features

• New Region – Fukala Islands: Explore the newly discovered Fukala Region, a series of tropical islands filled with secrets and new challenges.
• Brand-New Gyms: Test your skills against the new Gyms designed specifically for this region. Each Gym Leader is based on real-life inspirations but uses established sprites for a unique experience.
• Classic Gen 3 Experience: Enjoy the classic FireRed gameplay with a few modern twists, while remaining faithful to the Gen 3 mechanics.
• New Pokemon Addition: One Pokemon from a future generation is available for a Gym Leader and becomes accessible to the player.
• Hidden Legendary Pokemon: Discover three Legendary Pokemon hidden off the main path, providing additional exploration and challenge.
• Challenging Gameplay: Experience a balanced difficulty level up to the seventh Gym, with increased challenges and potential grinding needed beyond that point.
• Reimagined Characters: Gym Leaders and other key characters are represented by sprites from existing Gym Leaders or Elite Four members, adding a familiar yet fresh feel to the game.
