Released Pokémon Citrus Orange [v0.1.0]

This project has a release available. The full version is still a work in progress.
Project Status
Released
Project Version
0.1.0
2025-11-10-11-38-23-244.png


Introduction:
This fangame is made using RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Essentials v21.1. See full credits list for details.
This fangame is designed as a remake of FireRed/LeafGreen with a lot of additions and revisions.
If you're familiar with my previous project, Pokémon Dustbowl, most of the overall design is the same with Citrus Orange.
This fangame isn't compressed so you can modify your copy to make your own fun with what's been created so far.

In this fangame, you're a typical trainer starting your Pokémon adventure and exploring the world. You meet many helpful people.
As of v0.1.0 the approximate playtime for one playthrough is about seven hours.
I wrote a simple guide that's packaged with the download in case you get lost.
Report any metaphorical bugs you encounter in this fangame in this thread. I've done a lot of testing myself already but there's always more.

Pokémon Citrus Orange is unrelated to Pokémon Orange. Pokémon Orange is a romhack created by PiaCRT.
If you found this thread by accident while looking for Pokémon Orange or Pokémon Orange: Island Walker, here's a couple links:

v0.1.0

Changelog:
November 3 2025, v0.1.0 release

Highlights of features in this fangame:
First, going through the list of features copied over from Dustbowl:
Limited Pokémon roster. This fangame consists of Pokémon from Kanto, Johto, and their evolutions from later generations.
All individual values (IV) are set to zero for everyone.
Pokémon have one possible ability. There are no secondary or hidden abilities.
Pokémon have rewritten move sets to make sure everything gets useful STAB attacks.
Many changes to the base stats and types of Pokémon. There aren't as many changes compared to Dustbowl.
Trainer battles are all double battles.
Taller grass has 100% chance of double encounters instead of 30%.
The max total effort value (EV) is 500 and the max effort per stat is 200.
Unobstructive tall grass. You don't need to trudge through tall grass to progress through areas. There are still some caves.
There's a recurring book with more detailed information including changes to the type table.
You can rematch trainers for experience.
Level caps.
Some overworld Pokémon you can battle as an encounter.
Developer room that's accessible in-game if you're interested in reading my notes.

Second, new features for Citrus Orange:
Three difficulty settings: easy, normal, hard. Affects level caps and some interactions. Hard mode is considered similar in difficulty with FireRed/LeafGreen.
Nuzlocke guideline information if you're into that sort of thing.
Berry trees. Every route, town, and city has soil for planting berries. They grow quickly and produce up to ten berries per tree.
Tutor.net with groupings of moves based on type or category (biting, punching, etc).
Progress:
This fangame is being developed with three main "acts" for development:
Act 1: Start ~ Vermillion City + S.S. Anne <- we're here right now
Act 2: Route 9 ~ Saffron City
Act 3: Route 16 ~ Viridian City again ~ Pokémon League
Postgame: anything after Pokémon League
Maybe more after this.
