Pokémon Unknown

About

This is an increased difficulty and overhaul hack of Pokemon Fire Red that focuses on creating a more natural and immersive randomized experience. Battles and encounters are always “unknown”, which attempts to bring the unpredictability of competitive battling into the Kanto story. All wild encounters, trainer battles, and gift pokemon are thematically randomized on the fly. This means that the Pokemon power level and types are derived from the vanilla engine. Unlike most other randomizers, you cannot encounter fully evolved or legendary Pokemon in route 1. Naturally, you cannot fish/surf a fire type. As a result, the hack is very replayable, much more challenging than vanilla, and has a bit less entropy than most other randomizers have.
