Intro
I’ve been playing Pokémon ROM hacks since I was a kid, beginning with Quartz, Ruby Destiny Reign of Legends, and Shiny Gold, all of which fueled my obsession and turned me into a community lurker for a long time. Although I attempted to make one myself, I simply lacked the necessary knowledge and dedication. Now, around 10-12 years later, having seen how far ROM hacking has progressed and having gained more confidence in my abilities, I’ve decided to revisit developing my own ROM hack.
There’s no shortage of fire red enhancement hacks these days, so you’re probably wondering what this one has to offer. Personally, I prefer difficulty hacks, which is why I consider Clover and Vega to be the best ROM hacks available.
Description
This hack is at its core a difficulty hack with additional features; quite similar to Drayano60’s enhancement hacks, which provide access to nearly all the Pokemon while also adding relevant buffs to make all sorts of different Pokémon and playstyles viable, and with an insane amount of quality of life features added that also make many gruesome tasks far less tedious
This is a collaborative project between me and a friend koala4; while I’ve handled the majority of the technical aspects, he’s been invaluable in balancing, making suggestions, doing the majority of the wild Pokemon locations, testing, and more.
Features
This hack utilizes the Complete FireRed Upgrade engine (!!!!) and Dynamic Pokemon Expansion built by Skeli789, Ghoulslash, and others. It’s responsible for most of the significant features in the hack; I’ll list the important ones below.
Provided by CFRU & DPE
- Physical/Special split + Fairy Typing
- All Pokémon up to Gen 8 are obtainable (with some exceptions, see further down)
- Moves up to Gen 8, including some of the Isle of Armor DLC moves!
- Updated Pokémon sprites

- Improved AI
- Battle style forced to Set
- Can’t access bag against Gym Leaders and other select bosses
- Similar to Pokemon Clover, there is a soft level cap based on the next boss battle. Many “challenge” hacks can easily be beaten by simply spamming turbo boost and overlevelling. This prevents you from doing so, instead allowing you to reevaluate your team and strategy to defeat bosses.

Honestly after a couple playthroughs it just becomes boring and even challenge runs or hardcore mode become trivial (and my first playthrough was hardcore mode)
Good for you, dude.
Radical red has a new version kindly update it
thanks for letting me know, I’ve updated the post.
Wtf is this the newest version of pokemon radical red? what kind of madness does he give 💀💀
Hi I just wanted to put out there I’ve experienced a bug after receiving the exp share and removing it xo gain for all battles was stuck at 1xp. Had to restart game.
Actually that’s just the experience softcap. It’s based on which fights are next, and used to discourage grinding past every encounter mindlessly (which isn’t what I’m accusing you of, don’t worry). Progressing further would have restored natural EXP gain.
I cant go in the base from team rocket anymore
If i go inside game crashes please fix bug
Hey so I did the rare candy cheat, and im talking to the kid and he gave me some barries and now its stuck on the screen saying im putting them in my bag. Any help???
There’s been a big update adding gen 9 pokemon and terastalization!
false alarm, it was just a joke romhack with a rick roll they made for chaos day, whatever that is
There’s a new update I think check the server

I’m trying to use the cheats and nothing is working, it won’t load the codes. I think it’s the master code that is the problem.
