Description
The goal of this hack is to enhance the original Fire Red games by bringing in Pokémon, moves, sprites, mechanics, types, and items that were introduced in later games. Set in a Kanto region where the ecosystem is changing, you must investigate a mysterious "population shift" bringing Pokémon from Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh into the region while uncovering Team Rocket's dark experiments.

- UI Enhancements : updated battle backgrounds, party menu, summary menu, and a dedicated EV & IV screen.
