It’s here, it’s here at last! I have finally finished updating the RG Project and have brought to you a better, shiny version with a whole bunch of new things in store!
A couple things to note, for those of you who haven’t played the first version before:
★ To put things simply, this is the exact same FireRed you're all used to playing. Except...your rival isn't a total jerk and actually genuinely cares about you! He flirts with the player character throughout the entirety of the game. I originally intended this to be for GREEN and RED (hence the name the RG project), though Blue/Leaf is still a playable character, of course. It just works better if you play as Red!
★ The game needs an emulator to run it. I’ve included that in the project folder, so no worries about hunting one down later!
★ I also put in a very vital read me text inside of the folder as well. Please, please please read that before you start the game. It has all of the proper instructions of how to set it up, along with everything else I’ve added into the game.
★ Here’s some of the changes from the main game besides the obvious:
-Red’s sprites are actually those of the Red from the original RGBY. (I like OG Red better, I’m sorry. I had to change it lol) Blue/Leaf’s sprites have not changed.
-Pikachu’s chances of being encountered in Viridian Forest have risen immensely. (That way you don’t have to search for 3 hours trying to find one.)
-Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are available for capture on routes 24, 9 and 6, respectively. (All in the grass, no surfing required. But take warning that their appearance rates are pretty low, so you might be searching for a while!)
-Eevee’s gender ratio has changed so there is a 50/50 chance for it to be a male or female. The starters have changed to 65% male, 35% female.
-Chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon are at 3% (which is HUGE compared to the 0.000122% percent chance it was before).
-Legendary Pokemon have higher capture rates (easier capture).
-All 150 Pokemon are available in this game. (For real this time. I promise.)
-You can buy sun stones and moon stones at Celedon Dept. Additionally, the price of stat boosting items and TMs have decreased exponentially!
-There’s some extra Easter Eggs I threw in there as well! (References to my other Pokemon hack, Pokemon Legends!)
-You can go to Navel Rock and Birth Island by getting the tickets from Four Island from a special character.
★ IMPORTANT!
I added a bit of extra dialogue at the VERY end of the game! When you first start out you’ll notice that there’s a set of stairs in your rival’s house that wasn’t there in the original FRLG, and that there’s a Clefairy blocking the way. This is on purpose. In order to get to the extra dialogue and explore your rival’s room, you have to get through the Sevii Islands quest and find your rival’s room key after your last encounter on Six Island. Using the room key, you can give it to Clefairy, who will unlock the door and abruptly disappear afterwords (I didn’t feel like fixing it even though it’s really weird, it just vanishes in front of you lmfao). I hope you all enjoy the super cheesy yet adorably romantic extra dialogue! And you can access it whenever you want! (Green will repeat it over and over. It’s lovely.)
There’s bits of dialogue from other characters talking about you and your rival, so you’ll have to keep an eye out to catch them all! There’s a lot more changed dialogue from last time, and while some of the lines are a bit cheesy (then again, all Pokemon games can be cheesy at times lol) they’re pretty enjoyable to read.
★ If you have the old RG Project file, your save will not transfer over. I repeat, your save will not transfer over. This is an entirely new game, so you won’t be able to pick up where you last left off on the older version–you have to start from the very beginning!
★ And lastly, if there are any bugs besides those that have already been stated within the txt file, please let me know and I will do my best to fix them!
★ I’ll leave you with one more message before giving you the download link.
PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD THIS GAME. If I find that it’s been uploaded anywhere else than where I originally uploaded it, I will get it taken down and then I will take down the original file myself. If I discover anyone has stolen my work, I will take this game off the Internet permanently.
Again, let me repeat: YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED, AND YOU SHALL ABSOLUTELY NOT REDISTRIBUTE THIS GAME.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Okay! Now that that’s been cleared up, have fun, enjoy yourselves and let me know what you think! You are more than welcome to upload screenshots as long as you credit me/tag me. I’d love to see your playthrough and opinions!
If you have any problems, let me know! Shoot me a message and we can try to figure it out together. Though, my instructions in the txt file are very clear, so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out I think. Hopefully there aren’t any bugs or glitches since I haven’t tested the entire game myself, but I’ll fix them when needed!
The download is in a .zip folder, so you’ll have to extract it yourself.
Thank you so much for reading, and please enjoy
===THE RG PROJECT V 2.0=== AKA Pokemon HeartRed
EDIT: I had to reupload it again I’M SORRY the dialogue at the end was all screwed up but it should be good now!
