Hack description

Pokemon - DX Violet

This hack is based on the Pokemon Red Full Color Hack by FroggestSpirit, Danny-E 33, IIMarckus and Drenn.

The goal of this hack is to update the orignal Version of Pokemon Red to make it a better experience overall without changing the core game too much.

The biggest changes are:

- all 151 Pokemon are available, no trades needed
- trade evolutions evolve by leveling up
- important TMs can be bought in Celadon City
- Moonstones are also available in Celadon City
- Charizard can learn Fly
- Cut and Flash have been changed to be desirable moves and not a burden
- Poison Type weakness to Bug Type has been fixed to be in line with later Generations and to balance the new Cut move properties
- Focus Energy has been changed to raise Attack by 1 level to side step the bug of it reducing crit rate instead of raising it
- Moltres learns Flamethrower by level up
- Scyther learns Wing Attack by level up
- new Titlescreen

----

1.1 Update:
I've also included an OG (Original Graphics) version with the latest release!
This version has all the changes from the original DX Violet but uses the original Pokemon Red sprites instead of the Full Color Hack.

Enjoy. :)

I can't imagine a better way to revisit Kantorgw_panda2024-06-20Version 1.0

The mixing of Gen II and Gen I graphics, as well as the ability to get all the 'mons in the first games, makes this a great way to play the the original Pokémon. I am at the SS Anne right now, and it has been a treat to play. Great work!
