Pokémon RE:Call

Version: 1.1.11 | Updates: March 19, 2025
Features: Randomizer, Gen 9 Hubol Engine, HOENN, Battle with Friends


Hello everybody. I'm creator of Pokemon RED EVERYWHERE and RE:Verse.
This is my third project, still same as before, using Fire Red as story based.
Thanks to Haven (HexManiac Advance), i can make this romhack using HUBOL as based, which is using CFRU as its engine and DPE for newer Pokemon.
This romhack called Pokemono RE:Call, still in beta stage, but you can clear the game with some interesting post game.

​

Intro :

The goal with this hack is to utilize CFRU engine with help of HUBOL that makes newbie in romhacking can creates rom near Radical Red or Unbound. This isn't meant to be some kind of kaizo level nuzlocke hack but rather something that's tough but fun and should be perfectly doable without having to resort to a full on google doc or something. Difficulty-wise I'd like to compare this to something like Radical Red or Emerald Kaizo.

Story :

The adventure begins when the player visits their friend, Bill, on Knot Island, part of the Sevii Islands. Bill introduces the player to Celio, a close colleague working with him on an ambitious project—a machine capable of connecting people across regions, specifically between Sevii and Hoenn.

As Bill and Celio focus on refining their invention, Bill entrusts the player with a special package to deliver to one of his friends on Boon Island.

However, what starts as a simple errand quickly takes a dramatic turn. Upon arriving at Boon Island, the player finds themselves caught up in an unexpected incident involving the notorious Team Rocket. The team has been causing unrest across the Sevii Islands, and their activities seem to intersect with the mysterious machine being developed by Bill and Celio. Rocket's boss, Giovanni has hidden intentions with Pokemon, especially unique Pokemon, PARADOX POKEMON, that has energy about the past and future.

Progress :

Story:
- Sevii : 80% (Main story has 12+ hours of gameplay)
- Kanto : 100% (Post game, keeping FRLG story, DONE)
- Hoenn : 20% (Post game, progress still maps for now, no event yet)
Sprite: 80% (Tryng adding costume feature)
Maps:
- Sevii : 80% (Main story has 12+ hours of gameplay)
- Kanto : 100% (keeping FRLG story)
- Hoenn : 60% (Maps below Rustboro City until Pacifig Log, DONE)
Scripts: 80% (Adding Prolog and Post Game Story)

Thank you for you guys, have been download Pokemon RE:Call!!!
Hopefully i can get feedback from this DEMO, and making better for Beta release

End Words

Part of the reason I'm making a public release is to get more testers for the project. I'm the sole dev on this project. However, recently their enthusiasm has really been lacking so I was hoping to get some extra feedback from here.
I think that should cover most of what I wanted to say. Do post in this thread (or better join my server) and let me know if you come across any bugs or anything.

How far is the game

For the core story is done,

Thank you for playing my project
Yeah, I do face obstacles in the story, where my English skills are very lacking.
so it is difficult to create a new story.
Honestly I need help to create the story, but I don't have anything that can provide benefits to those who want to help, other than credit
So im not making any recruitment or something.

So for now, i just can only focus on adding more stuff / features.
I hope for next big updates (version 2+) , i can add / focus on new story, quest etc.

the other reason, i dont have any beta tester, so i need to test myself after adding something new.
Its really takes time as Soloist romhacker
