About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Blu Acqua is an Italian ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed that focuses on refreshing the original Kanto adventure through gameplay changes, altered Pokémon encounters, and modified progression. Rather than introducing a brand-new story, the hack reworks many of FireRed's core mechanics to encourage players to build different teams and experience familiar areas in new ways.
The available information is fairly limited, but the hack is known for replacing the traditional starter choices, redesigning wild Pokémon encounters throughout Kanto, modifying trainer teams, and rebalancing several Pokémon through adjusted stats, evolutions, and learnsets. It also introduces special locations containing legendary Pokémon and scatters useful items across the region.
As of the available release, Pokémon Blu Acqua is in Beta 1.

- New Starter Pokémon: Begin your adventure with fully evolved starters by choosing Charizard, Blastoise, or Venusaur instead of the traditional first-stage Pokémon.
