    Pokémon ReDX is a reimagining of Pokémon Red, using the Gen 2 style.
    Think of it like how Link's Awakening DX was a GBC Improvement of Link's Awakening.

    An expanded Regional Pokédex! (around 300 species!)

    And much more!

    While the basic plot follows Pokémon Red, there's quite a lot of new events happening. You have a new rival along for the ride. Jade, if you play as a boy, or Jasper, if you play as a girl. Blue is your aggressive cocky rival who focuses on besting you battle while Jade/Jasper will be a more friendly face who is more focused on the Dex.

    Prof Oak has charged you three to beta test his life's work, the Pokédex! Help take down the Team Rocket criminal organization. The Admins from HGSS now make appearances in their Kanto games. Looker has come to Kanto to try and uncover Team Rocket's motives, he will meet up with you on occasion to lend a hand. Take on the Gym Challenge! Kanto's Champion's throne is currently vacant, the league has issued a challenge to all trainers to try and claim the throne for themselves!

    ReDX features an expanded dex to the original 151 (coming in at around 300 species!). The Kanto region has received some minor upgrades to accommodate the new Pokémon. For example Routes 9 and 10 are now canyons and there's a path split in Rock Tunnel that leads to a snowy mountaintop. New Mega Evolutions are being discovered too! There are side quests to pick up for extra rewards as you play through the game.

    Apex Pokémon are here to challenge you! A twist on Totem Pokémon, Apex Pokémon cannot be captured, but will drop loot when defeated. You will not find Apex Pokémon out in the wild, they each have a den they reside in.

    Switch Battle style has been changed, now "Switch" style no longer tells you what the incoming Pokémon is.

    Hidden Grottos will allow you to find rare Pokémon and items.

    Wonder Trade unlocks during the story and allows you to find even more Pokémon!

    The Cable Club in Pokémon Centers is now the Trainer's Nook, where various services are provided for trainers. As you earn badges more services are unlocked!

    No longer do you need the move FLY! In nearly every major location you will find the Pidgeot Express, who will fly you to a place you've been to before (for a fee).

    Completion Status

    The game is 95% Complete! The whole game is playable, with only a couple post-game side quests needing to be finished.

    What I'd like from you!

    Beta testing! I need feedback on the level curve and general difficulty, I need data from various playstyles, did you plow through with just your starter? Did you fully explore each area? What Pokémon did you use? Who was the hardest trainer for you? Did you grind? How did your levels stack up to the bosses? And so on.

    To Do:

    Add New Pokémon to the Dex.     Gen 9 brought in some more evolutions to older Pokémon, I need to add them to the game still. There are also several Mega Forms still being worked on that will not appear in the game (but are listed in the Dex Spreadsheet).

    Create more battle animations (I have made a lot of attack animations for this, many of the animations for the GSC Essentials pack are made by me)

    Fix music, all music is currently in mp3 format and thus does not loop properly. Eventually I'll convert it into looping tracks, I'd like to make a proper battle theme for Blue, but that's a future problem!

    Grammer, I've been working on this game on and off for nearly a decade, some of the older text is cringy and/or does not fit. There are a lot of instances of Poke-, where there is no ' é ' and several areas where you can tell I was flip flopping between POKEMON and Pokémon for Proper Nouns.

    Post Game Event, there's a photography side quest you start early in the game, there are two photos not yet available in this beta (Lance and Agatha).

    In Game Pokédex, currently the in game dex does not display Pokémon locations properly. I have a spread sheet that lays out the location of every Pokémon.

    Known Errors
    There are a few tiles you can walk on that you are not supposed to be able to.

    You can see the edge of the map in a few locations.

    Certain doors that are not warp events allow you to walk on them (they are supposed to make it easier to spot doors you can enter vs ones you cannot, some of them have movement permission issues allowing you to walk on them, but they have no warp event, they don't lead anywhere).

    When the S.S. Anne plot starts and you can't leave the ship, don't lose until the Rival Battle (You'd have to go out of your way to lose there, but still, you CAN lose to your rival and be fine though, it's just a small window before that battle where the exit is blocked, and thus, the entrance too, working on this issue)

    Some battle animations don't play right, main ones I'm aware of are Stealth Rock, the Terrains, and Bide for sure (despite everything in the animation editor showing they should be working right).

    You may come across a duplicate TM I'm pretty sure I've made all the TMs one off, but just a heads up if you do find a duplicate. Mind you, there are some TR moves that are also TM moves.

    Mega Evolutions don't have shiny sprites yet, so your shiny Black Charizard will turn into an Orange Charizard when it Mega Evolves. This is a fix that will be fixed easily enough. Mega Dragonite does not have a Back Sprite yet.

    Some HM items might act funny, I was making them work off a key item at one point, then working off of just having the TM for the needed move in the bag, so a Rock Smash move might call for a Pokemon (like BDSP) or it just uses the move from the bag, either way they function the same. Eventually I will make it all work like BDSP's system. You still need to know Surf on a Pokemon in your party.

    Apex Pokemon all have the "Apex Power" Ability which just provides various stat buffs. Eventually I want to make a new ability that combines Apex Power with the base ability of each Apex, so Apex Beedrill would have an Adaptability fused with Apex Power ability.

    MAKE SURE TO INSTALL THE INCLUDED FONTS the game will not look proper if you do not.

    Save often, I believe I've found and fixed most locks, but who knows what might crop up that I missed! (Also please report to me those issues!)

    Pichu is about as rare as Pikachu in the originals, but you can use their Static ability to attract more electric types (IIRC) for easier encounters.

    As a person who played the older versions via Relic-castle, I am so happy to finally see this here! Does the current version have the snap mini-game implemented?
    Click to expand...
    Yes and no.

    It has it except for the final 2 pictures, you can get every picture except those two.
     
    Found a bug (or maybe i'm missing something)
    the rock enthusiast tradeshow doesn't trigger on saturdays
     
    Made an account specifically for this, But Please, Is there ANY way to fix the seaside cavern softlock? The Entrance to it isn't set up properly, so once you enter it, there is no escape. And the escape rope does nothing either, despite this being what the escape rope is SUPPOSED to be for... As far as i can see, My playthrough came to an abrupt, and very, aggravating bricked end....

    heyo. I installed the fonts in the fonts folder but the game still wont use them. is the issue on my end?
     
    Having a blast playing this! Made it up to just passed the S.S. Anne and Surge fight so far.

    I'm getting a game crash whenever I attempt to use the wonder trade machine. I was hoping to check out the discord before mentioning it here just in case someone else had already mentioned it, but it looks like that discord invite has expired.
     
    New Update is here!

    Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ONuhOx_HuJlq3S7XCdFJc1SIjymRw-7D/view?usp=sharing

    Many bugs have been fixed!

    Bugs Still Present:
    Trainer Nook TR Seller     Just don't use that option at the moment.
    Game Corner Coins There's a gift Porygon in the Game Corner available after you clear out the Rockets (but only for a limited time!), otherwise don't use the coins right now.
    Modest Mint is not Usable Not sure what's causing this one, sorry, you'll have to go with Mild Mints for now...
    When using Wonder Trade do not select the first Pokémon in your party (still looking into this issue).
    Fly Map Scroll Issue     When looping from the last FLY location to the first the game crashes. Be cautious using Fly or stick to the Pidgeot Express.

    What's New in this update?
    Hall of Honor to commemorate Beta Testers! (If you wish to be honored here let me know the name you'd like displayed and what gender player you used)

    More Link Stones available

    Some more balance tweaks

    Important Note!
    If you are stuck because you saved in the seaside cave let me know, I will have you send me a copy of your save file so I can free you.
