It is the year 1957. Samuel Oak, a 20 year-old prodigy, has just returned back to his home country after spending three years in the world’s best university. With him, he brings science, technology, and the true spirit of trainerhood. On a mission to establish the first ever League in the East, Oak will have to adjust to local battling traditions, overcome bureaucratic hurdles, and introduce local uneducated Tamers to the proper way of doing things.


FIND OUT HOW IT ALL PLAYED OUT BACK IN THE 50ies! Gen 0!

Rch8x7d.png


STORY
1957 Kanto is a place under heavy development. The concept of a “trainer” is relatively new – with most people who are on the creature business calling each other “Tamers”. They battle for money, they have the right to take another Tamer’s Pokemon upon winning, and they generally cause a great deal of pain to the locals.



Once Kantonians learned how to craft capsules (Pokeballs) out of Apricorns, a “creature craze” swept through the country. The rush of making easy money, putting responsibilities aside, and experiencing unprecedented freedom and strength captivated the youth. The frequent complains from seniors went unheard, students started dropping out of school, and gangs quickly formed.



In this chaotic environment, you are tasked with bringing to Kanto (and the entirety of the "Pokemon" nation)... not a ruleset, not a new way of battling, but an entire infrastructure that will eventually end up being responsible for the shaping of modern trainer conventions as we know them. Will you be able to bring law and order to the land, or will the wild environment of Kanto get you?


o1pEmss.png



FEATURES:



- Inspired by the beta versions of Red and Green, (Trainers using whips, economy based around Pokemon, early lore or concepts that got scrapped, pokemon being closer to natural organisms than wee-wee-mythological multibeings from multiverses)



- Remastered Kanto that is visually closer to how it looked back in gen 1 (hey, no nostalgia pandering here, don’t go down the genwunner route, kthxbye). For instance, Route 1 has fields on either side, not trees as in Gen 3. Kanto is much more rural, as represented in older artwork.



- Manmade items are practically non-existent, you need to make Pokeballs from Apricorns (unreal time system means you can get a ball converted relatively fast), find berries or roots, and generally be economically-minded. You can buy Pokemon but you can’t sell them.



- Establish the first Gyms and the first League, by taking down Tamer groups whose activities can sometimes be... reprehensible



- The only evolution method known is “level up” evolution. At least to those who DO know that Pokemon can even evolve in the first place…



- Many Pokemon that are known to be rare today, are ubiquitous in this era. Well, not THAT ubiquitous, but much easier to find.



- Access your “Storage Boxes” from the menu. Well, computers don't exist yet, at least in Kanto, and there is no restriction forcing teleportation upon your ...balls… if you have more than six of them. So you can simply stuff those extra mons inside your bag.



- Organize your resources carefully. Berries aside, they are limited, and losing a battle means losing a lot of money. Healing services are both rare and expensive.



- A modified HGSS soundtrack, with a couple of OG tracks in the mix, that aims to replicate the OG feeling of Kanto music in an authentic way. What would the soundtrack have sounded like back then, if it wasn’t restricted by GB’s audio hardware?



- Discover the background of various characters, from Koga to Bertha, and witness the transformation of a ragtag, loose group of Tamers into Gym Leaders.



- A heartwarming story that explains Oak’s background and his role in every future trainer’s journey

CHARACTERS:


The four childhood friends:



Samuel



A 20 year-old prodigy whose intellectual prowess earned him the title of the youngest professor on earth. Returning from Unova, and now on a mission, he ventures out to open a laboratory and earn an official position in the University of Celadon. A bit grumpy and certainly not very warm. His childhood friends, who greet him upon returning, are eager to bring his heart back home.





Agatha



Agatha is a very sensitive woman whose aim is to become a nurse. Despite getting every single attempt to make Sam open up to her, shut down, she keeps going. A very giving person who borders on naivety. Always looks at the bright side of life.



John



Sam’s best (and perhaps only real) friend. He grew up with Sam’s father, whom he absolutely adored. Physically gifted, he always protected Sam from trouble, trouble that frankly, was caused in part by Sam’s social incompetency. Or perhaps, (and as counterweight to his fascination with objects) by his absolute indifference to people. John is very competitive and has an unwavering spirit. He secretly admires Sam for his intelligence, despite all his grandiose declarations that physical strength is all that matters.





Athena



Athena is a bit of a tomboy with a strong sense of adventure, and buttloads of energy. Sometimes “sense of adventure” becomes “total recklessness” and she ends up in trouble. John rescuing her all the time (yes, there’s a trend here with John) eventually got to her and she fell for him. She is the only person who can calm him down after a bad day.



=================================================================


The four childhood friends, will eventually meet again. And it’s up to Sam to decide whether fun and work can coexist, and whether those four will get to relive their childhood bliss during an adventure that will hopefully make up for the three years Sam had been away (and for Sam's obsession with studying that led to total neglect of his personal life).

In Red’s Journey West, you will be faced with harder (than usual) fights. If you are competent in competitive, they will be a walk in the park - otherwise, since they were designed to teach non-competitive players how to adapt to the scene, you will come out with greater confidence in your skills, as a result. So don't fret, and approach your choices with a tactical mind!

Find out the truth about Red's missing brother, and the events that transpired between Red's loss and his arrival in the West, in this emotional journey about the process of coming of age, in a time when traditional family structures have started falling apart.

On a fateful day, on the very peak of Mt. Silver, Red was dealt a decisive blow - a newcomer from Johto, with 16 badges, swept his team with ease. To someone like Red, who had never lost a battle before, it felt like the world had ended. After running away with his tail between his legs, he stumbled upon an old friend, who gave him a letter mentioning a potentially important person to Red. With purpose anew, our protagonist finally descends Route 26, and travels to Johto in search of him.

6IcRpdC.png


Features:

- The game’s difficulty has been made with introducing non-competitive players to competitive tactics, in mind!

- Beta Johto content restored! Caves, routes, and a Town!

- Starters given dual typing (yeah, cliche, I know) almost all competitively “insignificant” mons buffed

- A quick-paced adventure that respects your time! Useful additions to overcome grinding

- Beta mons that got cut, in the form of corresponding later gen mons

- Secret mons for those who care about them

- more than 100 animated portraits!

- remastered and original tracks (stadium 1 and 2, colosseum, HGSS)

- L O R E


Q8B1gtT.png


Red
Once known as the strongest Trainer in the world, Red has been silent for the majority of his life, and most people have taken that for granted - perhaps he is just "le strong silent type", or he's been maintaining that attitude in defense against a world where battling is everyone’s only real job. Despite not showing his face to his friends and family, it looks like the latter are still looking (out) for him. Will he be able to overcome his loss and find the person he's been looking for?

G8OPsUL.png


Blue
A self-proclaimed "travelling merchant", with an obvious tendency for kleptomania, and a sassy and snobby attitude, this girl is wandering Johto with an unknown purpose. She "happens" to run into the gang every now and then, and let's all hope she doesn't get to join.

v1btuhZ.png


Green
The Gym Leader of Viridian, Green seems to have matured a bit after the close-call loss to Red in the Pokemon League, three years prior. His... smelling proclivity hasn't kept him away from trouble - although one could say it's exactly the fact of sniffing out things that's helped him find Red.

2APGKGe.png


Daisy
Green's older sister, and the caretaker of both Red and Green whenever Red's mom was away, she's the cheerful, wise, and strong mentor figure that Red and Green had missed growing up. She is unstoppable during a shopping-spree, and while she loves irony, she's quite tactful when she's with people. Unless that's Red or her brother, whose diapers she's helped change many a times - and that still makes them lil' babies in her view.

Questions and Miscellanous Information:


GAMEPLAY LENGTH: 6-8 hours, Oak's part, 6-9 hours Red's part

Android dark map fix as suggested by PJ:
Hold and drag the game in game library; after the menu pops up, select the "Optimize Maps" option.
OOnBW1j.png

Click "ENTER" to initiate the conversion process. This may take up to 3 mins based on the game and map size.
UPHX8Iy.png

Click "ESCAPE" once the conversion is completed. The emulator will close abruptly, its expected.
4bFYR6K.png

The game should now go from this ...

to this!
Eq2q1uS.png


Q: Is this game for me?
A: If you like story-driven games with a bit of challenge here and there, then yes. The game is generally for everyone, but will probably be most enjoyed by older fans.



Q: Generation specifics?

A: Evolution: Levelup only for ALL mons no need for trading, stones etc. Gen6 mechanics, No Double Battles(well, mostly), evolutions of Kanto mons, later evos included, but baby mons not included until postgame. Psychic and Fighting types, as well as several Kanto-specific mons do not exist yet. Farfetchd is OP.


Q: Is this game complete?
A: Yes it is. Feedback greatly appreciated!

Q: What is Red's Journey West?
A: In traditional terms the "postgame" but it's an entire new game, a second part to The First Journey, playable after you finish Oak's part.



Feel free to use this version of Kanto in your game as long as you credit JohtoBlaziken and La Pampa (and their associated credit list), goes without saying.

No worries, I really appreciate the fact that you jumped on it! Seriously, the game is fantastic otherwise so far!
Thank you, I believe you will like it even more as you progress!
If anything else comes up hit me up, I am not as active in the weekends but I usually reply as fast as possible. Enjoy!

Just finished up everything in the game; honestly every part had me hooked! Hats off to everyone who put it together; definitely was a whole new challenge figuring out how to put together the right team to take down Ethan back to back, loved the addition of the balance candies at the end, looking forward to whatever comes next!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you liked the TFJ! The Main Game is under heavy development and due to release soon. In the meanwhile you can check:

In the PS Series:
PS:Frontier. Demo only. Prequel to The First Journey
PS: Time's Edge - Completed, takes place in a part of the city where the main game will. Sidegame and sequel to The First Journey

Other:
Overcome Magikarp: A very interesting roguelite with no text at all. Completed
Elpis: Less polished than the others, and due for an update, but a fun and different experience nonetheless.

Every one of these is trying to do something different, so I'm sure you'll find something that you'll like while waiting for the magnum opus and sequel to TFJ to drop. Have fun!

Hello, glad you've enjoyed the game!

The cause of your suffering is the fact that you abandoned a certain someone that helped you get on your feet. You understand what I'm saying, don't you? Have that one in your party and everything will be solved.

TFJRJW has been updated to v10.10.

Some players have been getting more issues with certain battles, I have reverted the AI script back to the vanilla one, so there won't be any battle issues anymore. I'll get back to figuring this out after the Main Game releases.

  • Reverted back to vanilla AI script, until next update
  • Fixed a couple minor tile issues

wow ok big time skip and playing 2 different games not a bad idea but kind of wished you stuck with red through both though nothing personal but the Samuel game could be separate from Red but in truth the Samuel part is tough unless you buy pokemon i do not mind that idea hey could you create a new pokemon game where instead of catching pokemon you have to buy them that would be so cool, but back to topic i do not mind the challenge from the games but i still would give the game 5 stars out of 5 for making this game challenging and for a good story

Thank you, but both are connected, so finish TFJ first and then you'll have a smooth transition to RJW.

yeah that steel type gym i removed rest which was a mistake but i caught tauros with intimidate i kind of wished i had shell smash and will there be a proper starter before the 3rd gym because those first few gyms you pretty much had to stall out the battles with the current party and what generation moveset did you use for rjw

Yeah, but RJWs start is a reflection of Red's fall from grace, and starting as a newbie again, having to resort to tactics to survive the first few battles. So, I hope you undestand.

Thanks for poliwag, totodile is normal rate in encounters, try looking in the route next to cherrygrove as well as the route next to Violet. No you cant breed.

I just started playing and I'm really enjoying the storyline so far. I'm wondering if there is a way to disable automatic saving, or go back to a save point I manually saved?

Hello, unfortunately in this game the autosave is forced due to the length of the cutscenes. They might be skippable in terms of fast text, but if anything happens to your save you will not lose your progress (and have to repeat the scenes). However, check your saved games file ,it's likely the game has kept many backups, so you can choose an earlier point if you need. The directory should be under C:\Username\Saved Games\The First Journey

Thank you, how can I choose which save point to go back to? Even if I delete the newest save points from the The First Journey folder, the game still loads at the same spot.

The loaded savefile is always the one that is simply named "Game", sorry, I forgot to mention. Simply rename any savefile you need to Game, while adding something like a number to the existing Game to have a backup.

How do you release pokemon? I can't seem to find the "release" option, it only show Summary, switch, item & cancel. And how do my farfetched evolve? Im in the dragon den slaughtering all the dragon yet my farfetched still won't evolve (it's already level 100).

Sorry for asking such a stupid question🙏

If it's already level 100, it won't be able to evolve. It needs to gain a level inside Dragon's Den. I can edit your savefile to make it lvl 99 if you want, though.
As for the release option not existing in RJW for mons other than Shuckle, then that is a bug.
