Description

Does anyone else look at the incomplete Procyon & Deneb hacks and get sad that they can't use all the new Fakemon? Especially if you can't read Japanese? Well here is the Rom Hack for you. This is my first Rom Hack, and it is not very complicated (it hurts to say that with how much work it was), but it does what I want it to do.

V1.2 Creator Note

Due to removing the “use items animations” you cannot evolve two Pokemon using evolution stones in a row in the same place (map). The game will freeze. Avoid this by moving to a new place (map) before evolving the next one (in/out of a building, one route to another, route to a town, etc.). I think it is some sort of cache issue, but it isn’t game breaking, so just be cognizant of it.
“Caught Pokemon Give XP” broke the entire game. It has been remedied by being removed. However, you might still receive XP for the first Pokemon you catch every time you boot the game. I have not seen this cause any crashes in multiple different save files, it doesn’t happen every time, and I don’t know why its happening.
I don’t know why some people’s games are crashing when they fight Luvdisc. I was only able to duplicate it using the pre-patched ROM from PokeHarbor [Admin Note: D:]. Every time I’ve patched it myself I don’t have a problem. I use mGBA on PC and Delta on iOS for emulators, so it might also be an emulator incompatibility.
If your Gym Leader’s teams don’t seem to match their type, or trainers randomly seem to have too strong/weak Pokemon, you’re using an old version.
Patch to a Fire Red 1.0 ROM. I know I said earlier to use a Fire Red 1.1, but I was mistaken. I thought I had started with a 1.1 base but I had not. This might solve a lot of problems. Everyone’s best bet is to patch a clean 1.0 (Squirrels is what I tested on). Saves should work between versions, but no promises. [Admin Note: I’ve patched it to 1.0 squirrels, as the creator stated]
If you face any bugs or issues or have any questions about the game, you can report/ask them on Pokemon Astral Red’s official PokeCommunity thread.
