Does anyone know how to evolve haunter? I tried the link stone, dusk stone, moon stone and leveling it up but it's not evolving.

some pokémon like kadabra, haunter, graveler or machoke evolve leveling up, in haunter's case evolves at level 52

Ahh, such a great hack! By far one of the best games I have played in the past years. I really loved the spin on Team Rocket and the mature story.
It's challenging for sure, but never felt truly unfair.
End of Kanto got me sweating!!!! Can't stop playing tho and I do hope that the DLC will be available in English soon too :D

 

[jjeff24g]

I can't wait for the release of the dlc because I just finished what been completed

I did a minor update for the English version, fixing the promotion bug (High rank to executive).

For the ones who this bug happens (freezing screen) the new version has a choice option, to skip this scene and proceed with the main story.

For current saves, you have to download the game again (same link), and after patching, remove the old .gba, puting the new .gba in the same file.

If you want, I can give you a hand with Spanish translation. You can DM me.

The ROM doesn't work when patched and the patcher site says that the ROM checksum doesn't match.

1986 - Pokemon Emerald (U)(TrashMan) is the base. Try now, I updated the link and should work.

Where do i go after the Silph Tower stuff?

Cinnabar island - pkmn mansion

The ROM doesn't work when patched and the patcher site says that the ROM checksum doesn't match.

try now, should work.

Note: Firstly done in Spanish, has been translated by a small work team and me (Dragonsden). "Fire Red: Rocket Edition" created by Colonelsalt is a different game.

The main goals of this ROM hack are:

1. Covering the entire timeline from FireRed/LeafGreen to Gold/Silver (+3 years), experienced from the perspective of Team Rocket.
2. Pushing the limits of what's considered canon.
3. To fully develop and include the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and the Sevii Islands.

INTRO:

Spoiler:

You start as a mere Grunt at Five Island Warehouse. Intending to gradually ascend within the organization by successfully completing the missions assigned by your superiors.

Your story unfolds within the same timeline as the beginning of Red and Blue's adventure. Since you'll be transferred to Kanto at a certain point, you'll have the chance to witness Red/Blue's story from the perspective of a Team Rocket member. Moreover, you'll get to see everything that happened behind the scenes (here, of course, we delve into theories), aiming for everything that occurs to be considered canonical within the original games.

Therefore, the idea of this hack is that you, as a random Rocket Grunt, can do everything in your power to reverse the classic scenario where Team Rocket and Giovanni are defeated by Red, partly seeking justice by giving a villain our player ability. This will lead to a clash between this and the canonical story (which will be maintained in this hack) that we all know.

All that being said is, albeit a percentage, only the initial part of our adventure (KANTO), as we'll also journey to Sevii, Johto..., we'll see some of the biggest projects that Team Rocket had, with a good portion of the game dedicated to revealing several secrets and theories that many of us may have suspected but were never confirmed, in addition to experiencing events such as the collapse of Lavender Tower, the construction of the train tracks, etc.

FEATURES:

Spoiler:

• Physical/Special split system from 4th gen.
• Replaceable HMs and unlimited TMs.
• Pokémon, moves, and items up to 8th gen (some from 9th).
• Up to 99,000,000 POKÉ as new money limit (Team Rocket pays well).
• Quick EV train system ( 3000 Poké per Vitamin, and allows the use up to 250 Evs).
• Indoor running activated.
• Trade evolution system removed, allowing all Pokémon to evolve by level or other methods (document within the download indicates all changes).
• Slight modification to Base Stats and types of some Pokémon: Affecting only a few Pokémon and will be quite light, making them, in my opinion, more coherent with what they should be as Pokémon, and in other cases coherent with their role within this hack (document within the download indicates all changes).
• New Pokémon (Rocket experiments, unique Pokémon...) with lore that explains their presence within the canon.

PARTICULAR GAME FEATURES:

Spoiler:

• Experience the true face of the Kanto region: Discover the reality behind each character once Red disappears from the scene, and the various conflicts and interests within the region, as well as the actual situation in Kanto.
• Hierarchical system within Team Rocket. You will ascend as you complete missions, and your appearance will change accordingly.
• Currently around 45 hours of gameplay (30-35 hours in Kanto, 10-15 hours in Sevii).
• Customized music for most important battles, as well as for numerous unexplored areas in FireRed.
• A lot of optional events and sidequests aimed at enriching your role as a Rocket recruit while obtaining unique items and Pokémon.
• Countless new maps covering unexplored areas in the original games.

What's in the current download? Game projection for the coming months:

The current download includes the content of Kanto and Sevii. However, the translation of Johto and the DLC is already well advanced, and it is expected to be brought here soon.

Regarding .sav compatibilities, there shouldn't be any issues.

As for possible dates for the update with Johto and the DLC, it shouldn't take more than 3 months from the moment this post is published.

TRANSLATION CREDITS:

I have received a lot of help during the translation process, without which this post would have been delayed, at least, several months.

- Mainly, thanks to Danna ('Daenerys), the work she put here was insane. Both translation and testing.

- Thanks to Infinit.

- Thanks to g0mm.

- Thanks to DarkEdge.

- Thanks to Mryo033.

CREDITS:

Spoiler:

This hack was made firstly using the Leon Base: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/leons-dpe-cfru-base-and-ultimate-rom-base.409672/

The current version has been ported to the Pokeemerald Expansion decomp base: https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion

• Firstly, thanks to @colonelsalt, the creator of Pokémon Fire Red: Rocket Edition (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=360725), for expanding the potential that could still be drawn from the Kanto region and inspiring me to create this hack.
  
  
• Thanks to Kakarotto, not only for helping me implement mechanics like the IV modifier, the overworld change upon promotion, acting as an impromptu tester, or the hard work, alongside Annatar, of inserting the entire Johto map along with its fly and healing spots, thus giving a greater impression of being truly in a new region, but especially for believing in this project and its potential practically more than I do myself (which is already difficult).
  
  
• Thanks to KevinXDE and Polar for being testers; it would have been hard to find better recruits for that. They don't miss a beat, haha. Among other things, they've helped me realize that using paragraphs was (and still is) virtually non-existent in my writing style.
  
  
• Thanks to Alexander Daniel and Scar™ for their countless sprites, minis, and artwork in general; I would have never included all those resources on my own.
  
  
• Thanks to KevinXDE once again, for contributing his knowledge on decompilation and often paving the way during the development of the DLC, even despite his limited free time.
  
  
• Thanks to my translation team: 'Daenerys, Infinit, DarkEdge and g0mm.
