It brings the physical/special split, dark/steel/fairy types, some new pokemon from later generations, genders, some item descriptions, unlimited TMs, a few new locations, and a lot of quality of life features around items, faster movement, and general bug fixes. There's also a hard mode version of the ROM that changes up the levels and teams of trainers and gym battles, as well as a 'snow' version of each that just makes it look like winter time in Kanto if you want to just slightly change up the look of the game. ===== Major Features ===== * Fixes most major bugs from gen 1 * Gender Selection for the player character * Running Shoes, faster surfing and a faster bicycle * Full color! (It's now a Gameboy Color game) * Physical/Special split is backported from gen 4 * Dark, Steel, and Fairy Types * Some new pokemon backported from future generations as well as future evolutions for gen 1 pokemon * Movepools mostly match Pokemon X and Y * Berry Trees * Pack is much bigger * New "event" locations * Breeding * An offline "wonder trade" feature that allows you to trade a pokemon for a randomly chosen other pokemon that is obtainable at its level. * Shiny Pokemon * Move Tutors * Move Deleters * Move Relearners ===== Screenshots ===== <section screenshots> {{pokemon:gen1:red:rpp-startscreen.png?nolink|}} {{pokemon:gen1:red:rpp-choose-pokemon.png?nolink|}} {{pokemon:gen1:red:rpp-dark-snowy-forest.png?nolink|}} {{pokemon:gen1:red:rpp-home-snowy.png?nolink|}} {{pokemon:gen1:red:rpp-leaf.png?nolink|}} </section> ===== Quick Hit ===== <section quick-hit-wrapper> <section quick-hit> **Don't Want to Read?** It's Pokemon Red with the physical/special split, all future typings, some future evolutions, unlimited TMS and all sorts of other improvements to bring it more in line with modern games. Also there's a hard mode version! <section positives> * Tons of great modernization features that still keep the Gen I feel. * Hard mode isn't too hard and provides some fun changes to a classic game. * Wonder Trade and expanded Pokemon roster allow for a lot of variety in team comp. through multiple playthroughs </section> <section negatives> </section> <section score> **Score** {{:pokemon:5 stars.png?nolink|}} **5/5 Stars** </section> </section> </section> ===== Review ===== I really enjoyed this one, particularly because it offers an offline "wonder trade" that will let you trade out any pokemon for another randomly chosen (non-legendary) pokemon that could be found at that same level at a PC in every Pokemon Center. I think I'm going to come back to this one day in the future to do a challenge run where I wonder trade out after every gym battle. I played through on the hard mode that changes up the level curve and some of the enemy teams and some areas were challenging, but by the end I was steamrolling again (Sylveon is OP). I did appreciate a slightly higher challenge throughout the game though. All of the ease of use features are welcome around having a larger pack and movement speed especially. I always appreciate Gen I-III games having the physical/special split as well since it really does allow for a lot more interesting team composition. Especially in this hack since it is a catch 'em all hack that adds a few more Pokemon throughout the game. Some of the changes are different enough that I wouldn't call this the "definitive version of Red" as I feel like something more faithful to the original experience would better hold that title. However, it's a great version of Red and definitely worth a playthrough and I would 100% recommend this hack to anyone. <section score> **Score** {{:pokemon:5 stars.png?nolink|}} **5/5 Stars** </section>
