Pokémon FireRed Version: Unofficial Pokémon Throwback

This is an unofficial addendum version of Pokémon Throwback, which is a hack created to serve as the definitive version of the original Kanto journey. Based off of Pokémon FireRed, Throwback includes a bevy of features and fixes to make it worth using over the base games.

Pokémon Throwback was originally developed by RichterSnipes and you can find his official version https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1981/. There are 2 versions of this unofficial Pokémon Throwback by tkim. One only includes bugfixes and otherwise is very similar to the last release by RichterSnipes. The other also includes a number of improvements and changes. Both are included in the download.
