In Development Pokemon ReDX

This project is a work in progress. The content is subject to change, and not finished yet.

Project Version
2.0.0
Title Screen.png


My first project, (over 3 years off and on in the making...) Pokemon ReDX!
made with the Pokémon Essentials GS base
Like how Link’s Awakening DX was a Gameboy Color upgraded port, Pokémon ReDX (Red Deluxe) is a Gameboy Color “styled” upgrade to base Pokémon Red. Explore the stories of Pokémon Red with a new coat of paint. Meet new characters, tackle new plot elements, encounter new Pokémon! Become the very best, like no one ever was in Pokémon ReDX.

Welcome to the World.png
Oak was looking for you.png
Starters.png

While the basic plot follows Pokémon Red, there’s quite a lot of new events happening. You have a new rival along for the ride. Jade, if you play as a boy, or Jasper, if you play as a girl. Blue is your aggressive cocky rival who focuses on besting you battle while Jade/Jasper will be a more friendly face who is more focused on the Dex.

Prof Oak has charged you three to beta test his life’s work, the Pokédex! Help take down the Team Rocket criminal organization. The Admins from HGSS now make appearances in their Kanto games. Looker has come to Kanto to try and uncover Team Rocket’s motives, he will meet up with you on occasion to lend a hand. Take on the Gym Challenge! Kanto's Champion's throne is currently vacant, the league has issued a challenge to all trainers to try and claim the throne for themselves!

Looker.png


ReDX features an expanded dex to the original 151 (coming in at around 300 species!). The Kanto region has received some minor upgrades to accommodate the new Pokémon. For example Routes 9 and 10 are now canyons and there’s a path split in Rock Tunnel that leads to a snowy mountaintop. New Mega Evolutions are being discovered too! There are side quests to pick up for extra rewards as you play through the game. Apex Pokémon are here to challenge you! A twist on Totem Pokémon, Apex Pokémon cannot be captured, but will drop loot when defeated. You will not find Apex Pokémon out in the wild, they each have a den they reside in. A Switch Battle style has been changed, now “Switch” style no longer tells you what the incoming Pokémon is. Hidden Grottos will allow you to find rare Pokemon and items. Wonder Trade unlocks during the story and allows you to find even more Pokemon! The Cable Club in Pokemon Centers is now the Trainer's Nook, where various services are provided for trainers. As you earn badges more services are unlocked! No longer do you need the move FLY! In nearly every major location you will find the Pidgeot Express, who will fly you to a place you've been to before (for a fee).

The Game is 95% complete as is. What’s left to finish?

Grammar I need to go back through and work on re-writing a lot of text (I started this project 2-3 years ago and some of the older stuff is poorly written) there is also a lot of inconsistency on if Pokémon and people are written out as BULBASUR or Bulbasaur. Many instances of Pokemon or Pokedex instead of Pokémon and Pokédex that needs to be fixed.
Music Currently most all the music is MP3, I need to get all my music converted to looping tracks, low priority, but something I want to do to help with file size.
Balance I need a handful of “beta” testers to run through the game and test how well the difficulty curve is (I know what to expect so “surprises” won’t work on me as well).
Quests More quests to be added, existing quests to be polished up some more, that sort of thing.
Post Game There’s currently 3 Post Game story beats I have planned that are still in the works.
First is the dealing with the remnants of Team Rocket, this one is in 2 parts with Part 1 nearly complete.
The Battle Fortress is a mini post game facility that will have the player challenge the Battle King and his minions.
The Origin of all Pokémon will have the player explore the secret of Mew. Currently there is a Mew event that unlocks a Mew Battle in the Post Game, but that’s a placeholder until I can fully write the scenario for this event.

When the S.S. Anne plot starts and you can't leave the ship, don't lose until the Rival Battle (You'd have to go out of your way to lose there, but still, you CAN lose to your rival and be fine though, it's just a small window before that battle where the exit is blocked, and thus, the entrance too, working on this issue)

Some battle animations don't play right, main ones I'm aware of are Stealth Rock, the Terrains, and Bide for sure (despite everything in the animation editor showing they should be working right).

You may come across a duplicate TM I'm pretty sure I've made all the TMs one off, but just a heads up if you do find a duplicate. Mind you, there are some TR moves that are also TM moves.

Mega Evolutions don't have shiny sprites yet, so your shiny Black Charizard will turn into an Orange Charizard when it Mega Evolves. This is a fix that will be fixed easily enough. Mega Dragonite does not have a Back Sprite yet.

Some HM items might act funny, I was making them work off a key item at one point, then working off of just having the TM for the needed move in the bag, so a Rock Smash move might call for a Pokemon (like BDSP) or it just uses the move from the bag, either way they function the same. Eventually I will make it all work like BDSP's system. You still need to know Surf on a Pokemon in your party.

Apex Pokemon all have the "Apex Power" Ability which just provides various stat buffs. Eventually I want to make a new ability that combines Apex Power with the base ability of each Apex, so Apex Beedrill would have an Adaptability fused with Apex Power ability.
Visit the trainers School after you get the Pokedex.
All the added Beta Pokemon are Stone Evolutions.
Some Apex Dens open up after your 6th badge, including dens in previous areas such as Viridian Forest, where there were no den before. (Cinnabar Island has an NPC who can tell you roughly where these dens can be found).
The best time to explore the northern portion of Rock Tunnel is after you clear out Pokemon Tower
After you start off the S.S. Anne plot check back with one of the passengers to obtain a reward (If you had talk to them prior it will be obvious which one to return to).

Eagerly waiting on the next release, is there an ETA, if you do not mind me asking? Thank you!

I want to have it out by the end of the month as there is a few "minor" major bugs (Seafoam Islands) I want to fix as well as the post game "Battle Empire" locale I want to complete.

When the engine is updated to v.20 of essentials I have some big updates planned, but they mainly utilize various plugins.

I have a huge priblem here, I'm softlocked in celadon manor because this lady is blocking the only exit tile, and when I try to move over to the other side of the door I get sent back to the wastelands.
I will get a fix up for that! She's supposed to be over a tile!

Not yet, it's planned to be, but currently isn't.

I want there to be the Gen 2 - 5 hold item version you get from an Oak Aide earlier on, then you'd get the Gen 6+ version later on when the levels start to increase.

for the record, the Lucky Egg is also locked behind an Oak Aide, so make sure to capture a lot on the way (though I might change it to just counting species "Seen" instead of captured).

Still eagerly waiting the next update since it seems like you will be bringing forth a lot of tweaks as well as refinement.

Hello, so I have just started playing and am really enjoying the game. Is there by chance any documentation on all the pokemon, their locations, and all of the megas included?

Oh the site's back up from the hack! I didn't notice until I saw the email about theses posts! When I get to the next beta release I will have a document showing the expanded National Dex and where to find them!

In the meantime, is there a species in particular you are looking for? I can point you in the right direction of it.

Here's a list of the planned Regional Dex (ignore the Regional Forms, they are mainly for the SS Anne and Kanto Resort where tourists are)

Congrats on the update! I just thought I'd ask, does the latest version count "seen" Pokémon in order to avail items from Oak's aides? Lastly, in the p0revious version, soft resetting would crash the game. Is that fixed?

I have changed the Dex rewards form the aids to Seen vs Caught, makes it much easier to get the rewards.

Did not know about the Soft Reset crash, will look into that but presently, do not used soft reset.

I should be uploading another Beta later today that fixes a ladder warp issue in Victory Road (as well as adding in the new Snap Dex feature I'm working on, the Battle Castle, and the Post Game's end).

Speaking of Snap Dex...
Snaps.png

During the game you will meet a young Cameron who will give you a prototype GB Camera to test.
The camera will take pictures automatically during events.

To view the pictures you will need to visit Cameron's studio on the Celadon Condominiums.

Some pictures are taken through the story, others through events.

For example, to get Brock's picture you need to revisit Mt Moon after having cleared out Team Rocket from the S.S. Anne, if you do this before you have access to Cinnabar Island Brock will revive your fossil for you, giving you Kabuto/Omanyte access earlier than normal.

To get hints about the pictures you can check the albums in Cameron's studio, blank pictures will give you a hint about where to find the picture.

Strange suggestion, but what would you think of adding Yellow as a female equivalent to Blue?

Jade and Jasper take the place of a male/female rival that changes with your gender (and use the third starter).

Yellow (especially if sticking with her Manga character) does not work as a swap in for Blue as she is much different from him (and thus would be massively out of character to do and say the stuff Blue does, like ignoring the Rockets in Silph so he can challenge you, or telling you off for helping random people as it slows you down when he battles you on Route 12/16, or the way Oak chastizes Blue when losing the championship because he lost sight of the bond between his Pokemon and himself).

Yeah, you're right. If she were to replace Blue, you would have to change the lines for her. (Possibly from Pokémon Let's Go's rival which has the opposite problem)

Anyway, it was a strange suggestion, the inspiration for this was because I noticed that he was the only one who remained the same regardless of who the player chooses. (Female players have no female rival)

Hey there, I do have a question, is Annihilape present in the current release, and if so, how do I go about evolving aa Primeape into one? Thank you!
Also, I was not able to f8ind a Moonstone in Mt. Moon, was that intentional? Furthermore, is the eviolite available?

Thought I'd report an oddity: You cannot use the bicycle from the second floor onwards in rock tunnel. Also the pager no longer works for me after Surge's gym, and I have to manually teach my Pokémon HM moves.

Update: In the current version that's hosted, i got an invitation from Misty to follower to an Apex Pokemon's den on route 24. As soon as I entered the den, my character is frozen in the tress to the side, making it impossible to move, :/

EDIT: Using the elevator['s in the Celadon dept store causes the player to be stuck behind the guard, and unable to move, furthermore, you can cycle in the Game corner.

EDIT 2: Mr Mime's backsprite is not positioned properly. Also, what does the gang up ability on Honchkrow do? I was not able to understand the description.

EDIT 3: Accessing the move re-learner via the Pokémon center causes the game to crash when you have a heart scale.

EDIT 4: You cannot mount the bicycle in Fuchsia city, and you cannot exit seaside cavern high tide.

EDIT 5: Talking to the guy In fuchsia city who activates the Blitzle side quest on fast forward crashes the game, and entering the fishing guru's backyard in the same city ceases the character to get stuck on the roof.
