| HACK DETAILS |
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

1) The author stylized the font to be fancier.

The author should inform you that this might not make you pay attention to what’s being said as it’s a busy font, in time you’ll get used to it.

2) Battle HUD changed to look busier & HP Bars changed with animation.

3) The author has edited the Pokémon Front Sprites using HeartGold/SoulSilver sprites from the Nintendo DS.

4) The author has made the Text Boxes look fancier.

5) Minor changes to Pokédex aesthetics.

6) Compatible with your official unmodified Pokémon Red Version game saves.

7) An unintended feature, but the author made the battle AIs more smarter. You may have to stock up on items.

Project scrapped, there would probably be no more Pokémon Red Defined updates until the author has the motivation to do it all over again, the project files were deleted off their computer.

It was fun working on this project. Some sprites of the Pokémon that got changed in Red look kind of unattractive. I had to resize it and that made the sprites lose their quality.

Some Pokémon look great since I didn’t have to resize some of them. The default Pokémon Red preset palette on the Game Boy Color does wonders to the visual quality of the sprites.

It’s more official for the Pokémon to get their last form from HeartGold/SoulSilver exported to Pokémon Red.

Many Pokémon Red sprites look horrible. I wonder why they made some Pokémon look ugly but made Pokémon such as Scyther and Jolteon look cool. Maybe their designs were in beta form.
