Description

It is a hack of FireRed which focuses on creating an immersive randomized experience. All wild encounters, trainer battles, and gift Pokémon are thematically randomized on the fly. This means a Pokémon's overall power level and types are derived from the FireRed engine. You can't encounter fully evolved or legendary Pokémon in route 1, nor fish/surf a fire type. It also overhauls a number of systems to make them thematically random including: mixed generations of starters, Pikachu, Unown, trades, gifts and overworld pokémon.
