About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Supreme Fire is an original FireRed-based ROM hack that adds a variety of gameplay twists, redesigned Pokémon stats, and new mechanics. It is not nuzlocke friendly due to its difficulty curve and level changes.
The hack focuses on enhanced starters, challenging battles, post-game content, and a unique approach to Pokémon typing and niches. Though created by the author at a young age, it serves as a foundation for a more polished sequel.
Story Overview
The story follows the standard FireRed formula with twists:
- Players begin their journey with new starters: Ekans, Machop, and Abra.
- As your journey progresses, all Pokémon in the game have modified BSTs and abilities to balance gameplay around niches.
- Major battles, Gym Leaders, and the Elite Four are more challenging, especially post-game.
- Players eventually unlock post-game content, including Altered Cave battles and rebattles with Gym Leaders in Vermillion City.
- Pokémon obedience mechanics scale with badges, ensuring progressive difficulty.
The story itself is light on narrative changes but emphasizes gameplay challenges and strategic diversity.
