    Ahoy! After 5 months of tireless work, PKMN Peak Kanto (1.0) is ready to be released!
    This has already undergone many iterations and is playable all the way through.
    There are likely to be more updates in the future and I am very open to feedback!

    Here's the gist:
    - This is the PEAK way to experience Kanto :wink:
    - Modernised Firered Hack (Gen 8 mechanics).
    - Kanto-focused Pokedex (ALL Kanto-related Pokemon, including evos/prevos/regionals/paradox/mega/gmax).
    - Mostly true to original story, with quite a few additional characters added.
    - Increased difficulty, comparable to Radical Red's normal mode.
    - Customised movesets, encounter tables, boss battles, etc.

    Credits:
    - Haven for HMA.
    - Skeli for CFRU engine.
    - The HMA discord community, particularly Shiny Till Dawn, Yogia16, NeoWolvesterX, Axcellerator.
    - The PKMN Peak Kanto discord community. Special mentions to Super Saiyan Eevee, Pokelover and Wooper.

    Tools: Hex Maniac Advance, MoveAnimationCreator.

    (UPS file must be patched to Squirrels).

    I'm reaching the second arena, right now I'm enjoying the game

    Do you have a list of the Pokémons that are in the game? I initally thought it was just gen1+evos/babies/stuff like that
    Spoiler:
    but I just got a pineco and saw an azuril, so I was wondering what is actually in the game?

    Do you know how long documentation takes to make? I'm a one man team so it hasn't been completed yet but I am very happy to answer any questions you have. Best bet is to join the discord link in the OP.

    Glad you're enjoying!

    Initially I included all Kanto Pokémon and any relevant forms. But then I decided I'd add in all the Johto mons with their forms for a bit of variety and seeing as I wasn't going to make a hack of Johto.

    So to answer: all Kanto and all Johto Pokémon + their forms.
     
    Okay, so I'm at the 7th arena right now, I found a few bugs

    -few visual bugs, they don't really matter (like in the celadon city giovani's room)
    -when rapidash uses horn drill, golduck aquastep same, lapras wavecrash, it makes the game crash (maybe it's the move in general)
    -all the islands between the 7th arena city and the starting city are ... well you can't go on them, you just surf through them
    -a few other collision bug (notably at the bottom of the cycling road)
    -when you go at the bottom of the seafoam islands,
    Spoiler:

    Spoiler:


    -Also, are the snorlaxes uncatchable? I mean, there's munchlax anyway so it doesn't really matter, but I could not catch them at all.
    Spoiler:


    -the level curve gets way too low after the third arena, I have 6 pokémons, I fought all the trainers I met, but didn't farm or repeat any battles. But my Pokémon are ~15 levels too high, outside of the special trainers battle, it's free.
    -there's ... 1? johto leader when your team is complete that sends the egg directly to the pc, all the other ask you to come back with a free space, I think they all should send the egg to the PC, also on the same note, since they only disapear after giving you the egg when you leave the room (at least the ice one), you can take multiple eggs (although, I don't think it really you'd need to fix that, like ... fear the 2 spinark eggs, who cares)
    -I've seen a lot of changes on Pokémons (the abilities for example), do you have a list of these? Were there stats and types change too? Also levitate magnemite is sadistic
    -Same about the evolutions methods, I did find some of them (magnezone thunder stone, sandy scorch with ancient power)
    -Is the bag bigger (trauma with a past romhack where the bag was too small and would destroy the items)
    -You should precise in the post above that TMs are reusable ... and also there are a loooot of them
    -also baddy bad doesn't do anything (unless there's a condition I don't know, but it's not in the skill description (and since they're often too small to put all the text, it might be hidden there))
    -also the golden tooth quest of mister slowpoke just get skipped
    -where do you get the other fossil?

    -also, you really should add the HMs usable when you unlock them instead of having to teach them to your pokemons

    But as of right now, it has been one of my favorite romhacks

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! It's very valuable to me and I appreciate it.

    Firstly, glad you are enjoying. There is a lot in your post and some of the bugs I am aware of and working to fix for an upcoming patch and some I wasn't aware of like the collision issue between Cinnabar and Pallet.

    The level curve in particular is something I have not worked on yet but I do plan to address!

    Apologies for the lack of proper documentation at this stage. It's almost as big of a job as actually making the game itself so I haven't gotten to that yet.

    If you want, I'd love to chat more on discord as that's where I usually hang out now and it's a bit easier for me 😅

    Okay but no offense, but this hack should be in Sideshow Showcase as an enhancement hack is rom hacks studio is a spit to the face to actual ROM hacks that deserve recognition, especially new region hacks.

    No offence taken. If I've posted this to the wrong place, I don't mind if a mod needs to move it. I don't frequent this forum but wanted to release this for people to play 😊
     
    Few bugs:

    1) When using a moon stone on Nidoran Male, the game freezes.

    2) Gligar learns a move called "-" at level 15 it has no power, the description is glitched.

    3) When gligar evolves at lvl 28, game freezes.

    Like it so far, though!
