About This ROM Hack
Pokémon HotPink Version is a unique ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed that introduces a quirky twist to the usual Pokémon evolution mechanics. Rather than evolving into the typical final forms, some Pokémon evolve into stronger versions of their previous forms. For instance, Charmander evolves into a much larger version of itself, rather than the typical Charizard.
This hack adjusts various abilities, movepools, and stats to make evolutions more in-line with their new forms. With a change in evolutions, players may encounter some confusion with the visual sprites, as the evolutions retain many of the previous forms’ characteristics. Pay attention to cries for easier identification, as Charizard and Charmeleon each have distinct sprites, but their Charmander forms can look strikingly similar.
Story Overview
Key Features

- Changed Abilities and Movepools: Abilities and moves have been adjusted to fit the new evolutions. This includes tweaks to make the evolutions more reasonable, such as preventing the oversized Charmander from flying.

- Stats Adjusted: While evolutions lead to more powerful forms, stats have been slightly tweaked to ensure balance in gameplay.
- Fun and Quirky Mechanics: Enjoy a new twist on the Pokémon series with altered evolution lines and movesets, giving you a fresh experience while playing.
Known Bugs & Issues
