Pokemon GS Chronicles is a GBA Rom Hack based on Pokemon FireRed. It has a New Story, Mega Evolution, Day and Night System, Time-based Wild Pokemon & Much More!

I have no idea how to describe the main plot and storyline since many events are essentially the same form HGSS/GSC, so we can at least assume the plot may remain the same (Tbh is not the same, but at least you may get a surprise by playing the game.

Important

Please go through the known bugs section on Pokecommunity.

Description

The famous Professor Elm has been busy with several new findings, among them the legend of the miraculous stones that did reach the Pokémon a higher level, due to this resorts to two of his assistants, Ethan/Kris and [Player], to deal with the operation of these, giving them a Pokémon for this. After sending [Player] to pick up a package with Mr. Pokemon, a mysterious red-haired guy steals a Pokemon in your laboratory. Now Ethan/Kris [Player], which received a Pokedex from Prof. Oak, will undertake a travel around the Johto region to complete the Pokedex and know who was that redhead boy and why he stole the Pokemon.
