Completed Pokémon AlteRed Version

So uh IDK if it's because I'm playing it on 3DS VC but the textboxes in the main menu have glitchy textures. I'd get a picture but Rosalina doesn't work in the GBA layer.
EDIT: Turns out the Pokedex UI is borked too.

Just started playing, and so far I'm loving it! Had a couple of minor issues though with all (like literally 100%) mons being shiny and apparently traded? They stop obeying after Lv. 10 which is kinda an issue. Not sure if it's an issue with my emulator or the way I patched it or what.

This has been a known issue for years and I'm happy to report that for the next update it will finally be fixed! Thanks to shuckle_lord_mixone

You may be using the wrong base rom. AlteRed is built from Fire Red Squirrels 1.0 so using other roms has been known to cause strange issues like this unfortunately.

Thanks so much, got the right rom now!

Yo, awesome! Thanks, mixone!
Some other notes, both positive and negative. I hope they make sense because I just woke up:

Some of the Dex entries, like Pikoal and Feebulb, seem to use beta names for them, like Dichu and Rootas.
Glitchy tiles in Daisy's house, inaccessible house in Viridian (where the Mart was) because the bottom of the door uses the bottom tile of the flowerboxes
Events like Teala in the Substitute room and the Running Shoes aide remaining feel a bit odd, but I'm assuming that removing them is beyond the limits of a GBA hack?
I really love the Fakemon designs, they're all so charming.
Ledybark's shiny palette is stellar. Yes, I have a shiny Ledybark. Honestly, regardless of what issues it causes, the jacked shiny rate adds to my next point...
I love the map redesigns; they feel almost liminal, like a map you'd see in a dream about playing FRLG. Kanto is something of an unpolished, liminal, janky experience, and quite frankly even the "negative" notes/bug notes add to the experience. So does the high shiny rate--- it's not like you're cheating, because it's not guaranteed, but it's more like you've stepped into another world where they're just slightly uncommon instead of insanely rare. But yeah, it's a really weird experience, playing this game, in a good way. Weird and wacky and feels like playing Kanto blind when I step into a new or remixed area.

Also being fixed next update. Yippee!
As for the glitchy tile stuff, I've sent this to our team to look into. Thanks for reportin' :)

It'sYa1UPBoy · Oct 24, 2023

As a matter of curiosity, because I know Essentials fangames can be weird about it, and I'm not sure about ROMhacks, will I be able to use the same save file in the new version of AlteRed, or will I need to start over? Updating the project in NSUI is trivial, of course, just loading the new ROM in, so that shouldn't be an issue.
EDIT: OH, ALSO, I forgot to mention, I'm just playing the normal version, NOT Gun. IDK if it's relevant to the bug reports, but I realized I should probably mention it.
EDIT 2: So, ah, how long is the revival scientist in Pewter supposed to take? I went outside, he still says he needs time. I went to Rt. 3 to catch a Poppip while I was in the area, come back, he still needs time. Goodness me, I hope the NPC still doesn't look for you to exit to the very specific room in the Cinnabar Lab...

For romhacks, you can use the same save file, but depending on what gets changed it may cause glitches. This usually is the worst with map changes though, which we are not doing. The worst that could happen for this is that your pokemon can have illegal movesets.
Don't know what the scientist deal is, will ask around. Sorry for the inconvencience

It'sYa1UPBoy · Oct 24, 2023

Haha, illegal movesets don't bother me. Good to know my save file will still work. As for the scientist, it's fine, stuff happens, figured I should ask. If it is tied to entering the specific hallway in the Cinnabar Lab (IDK how that event actually works, but it may be tied to entering X map instead of leaving Y map) I'll let you know. Right now I'm in Celadon so I'm a ways off yet from Cinnabar.

Good news, the scientist is confirmed to be fixed next update!

It'sYa1UPBoy · Oct 24, 2023

That's great! It's gonna be a while yet before I even reach Cinnabar, because I was in the Fighting Dojo and turned my 3DS to put the charger in and accidentally hit the power button.

I hadn't saved since I started up before I fought Erika.

It'sYa1UPBoy · Oct 28, 2023

YESSSSSSSS I BEAT IT!!!
Fun game, props to the Platoon for making Kanto into an Actually Enjoyable Experience. Now I'm gonna mess around on Sevii, I guess.

Boye · Oct 28, 2023

Hey, just wondering if it were possible to get it on my 3ds or dsi? I’ve got them all hacked up and everything but I just want to know if there is like a .cia for it or something

It'sYa1UPBoy · Oct 28, 2023

Legally, I can't share my CIA. However, I will say you should use this program to make it once you have your patched ROM.

New Super Ultimate Injector 3DS

New Super Ultimate Injector 3DS (also known as NSUI) is an application that allows you to inject Nes, Snes, GameBoy, GameBoy Colour, GameBoy Advance, Mega Drive, Game Gear and TurbiGrafx 16 roms in to the 3DS, allowing roms of games from these popular classic consoles to be loaded from the 3DS...

...But wait, there's more!???

Pokémon AlteRed Version... With A Gun
Pokémon AlteRed With a Gun version was our April Fool's '23 release, serving as a hard mode for AlteRed with a few exclusive Pokémon as a little bonus.
We're continuing to update Gun as well, just as an alternative way to play the game!

Download AlteRed
Download AlteRed with a Gun

AlteRed is distributed in .IPS patch form, which you must patch onto a clean FireRed 1.0 ROM (which we can't provide for obvious reasons.)
I suggest using Lunar IPS, which is very straightforward to use, but if you need help, here is a good video on how to use it.

consider Joining our Discord too! :)

We also have complete documentation on the game that can be found here.

In addition, A small portion of this hack's graphics use resources from Chaos Rush's DS-style 64x64 Pokémon Sprite Resource over on Pokecommunity.

KNOWN BUGS

-Corrupted-looking pause menu/pokedex graphic (currently difficult to fix/low priority - does not interfere with gameplay much)

Entering a double battle with only 1 pokemon causes some very weird effects that ultimately softlocks the game.

Really high shiny rate (This also makes some NPCs' and trades Pokémon shiny automatically for some reason... Uh. It's a feature.)

How do you evolve queglett? He’s level 40 and hasn’t evolved yet and I’ve checked every stone. I also saw a level 24 of his evo.

Yes, they are! Check the docs! (The Gun starters have pseudo-legendary stats.)

(The docs is our wiki. There is no other wiki. If you've seen anything on a website called "fan dumb", your eyes have been decieving you. That place isn't real.)

Queglett evolves with a Gun Stone, which can be found at Cape Brink in the Sevii Islands.

I seem to have gotten an Oops, All Shinies! copy. I have a full team and have not encountered a single non-shiny Pokemon. The graphics in my room and the text boxes in the start menu are all messed up, too. I have screenshots, but should I find a way to upload my .sav file, too? The base ROM version I downloaded claimed to be v1.0. Patching v1.1 crashed the ROM before reaching the start screen, so I don't think that's the issue.

EDIT: I believe had the wrong region of version 1.0. The (USA, Europe) version is the one that works. The Start menu textbox and the Pokedex are both very visually buggy.

Morganelefay · Nov 1, 2023

Having a lot of fun with the game, just the scientist bug is a bit of a pity but glad to see it'll be fixed! Just came across this little bug, didn't know if it was known or not, but my shiny Epidemoir has a rather peculiar icon.
