Information

Name: Pokemon Coastal GBA
Language: English
Creator: RandomAce42

Description

Explore the Fukala Region, a group of islands in the far west discovered recently by the Pokemon League. Your mission as a trainer is to put the brand-new gyms to the test. Discover the secrets of these tropical islands, but be wary—some inhabitants are hostile to the Pokemon League and may wish for its demise.

Pokemon Coastal is a FR project that remains true to the Gen 3 experience. The only addition from subsequent generations is one Pokemon for a Gym Leader, which is available to the player. Aside from that, enjoy the traditional FireRed experience in a new region. Three Legendary Pokemon are also available, hidden off the main route.

This game is difficult and may necessitate grinding at some points, particularly after the seventh Gym. However, I believe the difficulty is balanced until that point.

I (RandomAce42) am not a sprite artist, so I used established character sprites to represent new ones. For example, the Gym Leaders are based on people I know in real life, but they use sprites from other Gym Leaders or Elite Four members. Blaine’s sprite depicts a character named Azure, while Maxie’s sprite from Emerald is used for Gym Leader #8, who is based on a friend. Remember that these characters differ from the originals, whose sprites are used.

Story

Welcome to the Fukala region! Fukala is located far to the west. It consists of numerous sparse islands of varying sizes. Fukala’s people do not have a Pokemon League. Professor Oak has been tasked with assisting in the construction of one.

You’re Professor Oak’s assistant. His right-hand man. You’ve come with him to Fukala to help him set up and test the League. You will assist the professor with various research tasks as well.

This adventure will be difficult. Although Fukala lacks an official competitive scene, the challenge of surviving the harsh islands has hardened both the people and their Pokemon.

Are you ready?

Dev Comments:

Patch 1.6 is just a small patch that fixes a potential softlock in the 6th Gym and allows you to re-enter the Celebi event if you fly out of it for whatever reason.
The documentation for this patch will not be updated, so refer to the 1.5 docs. I have also slightly lowered the level curve towards the end of the game.
Currently, I am relatively happy with the state that Pokemon Coastal Version is in. So, unless other major bugs or soft locks are brought to my attention, I will be fully focusing on my next project. I’ve started to learn Decomp Hacking using the Pokeemerald Expansion. After that Project, I may remake Coastal Version as Coastal Redux, mainly focusing on overhauling the story, but also fixing the abhorrent level curve and adding QOL features.

Fixes:

Fixed a softlock in Gym Six + minor changes
The time stone reappears in its original spot so you may re-encounter Celebi if you white out or leave the event for any reason before finishing it.
Slightly lowered the level curve towards the end of the game
