The GBA Pokémon games have a special place in my heart. Even though I love Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald the most and prefer them, Fire Red and Leaf Green are still great editions. My friend gifted me Leaf Green, but it was the Japanese version, which didn't have English text. Despite that, I fell in love with the game so much that I finished it without understanding the text messages.

Now 20 years later, when my best friend introduced me to the best mod for Pokémon Emerald, called Pokémon Imperium Emerald, he recommended I play Radical Red, made by the same modder, which was released prior to Imperium Emerald. I must say, this might be the hardest Pokémon game ever. There's a normal mode and then the HARDCORE mode. I played the latter and it was really hard! Even the regular trainer with lvl 10-15 mons can WHOOP YOUR ASS HARD! That's why you have to have the right team.That's right, you can't use your favorite mons (I couldn't even use Gengar, Alakazam, Dragonite, Charizard, Blastoise, and Pidgeot like I did in Fire Red) because they are weak now compared to other generations. You need to build a team that can win matches.

The best thing about it is the QOL features, you can now have the option to make the team from 1025 Pokémons. This made me love the game even more, as other mods don't offer this feature. This saved me 20-30 hours, and I'm glad I finally finished it! I hope more mods with QOL features and difficulty settings come out. I'd definitely play them then. Playing Radical Red and Imperium Emerald has spoiled me for the main games; now I don't want to play them. 😅

Super fun...except for any Giovanni fight...the dude is extra tough for no reason!

Got all the way to elite 4 and then gave up 😅

Be warned! Extra hard ROM hack

Pokemon Radical Red foi como uma luz encantadora pra mim, o sonho de poder completar a dez em um jogo só nunca passou disso pra mim, e dessa vez não foi diferente.

Pokemon radical red é um jogo excelente, com uma dex enorme, com novos mecânicas, um level de dificuldade elevado, uma história levemente alterada, mas pra mim perdeu a graça quando cheguei na Erika, ter que ficar repensando meu time toda hora, treinar pokémon do zero para derrotar um lidere ou um oponente e nunca mais usar é extremamente CHATO.

Fangame dónde jugaremos Kanto pero a unos niveles de dificultad extremadamente elevados. Si querías un reto jugando a Pokemon aquí tienes el juego. Es la primera vez donde tengo que pararme realmente a pensar que Pokemon tengo a mi disposición y cual es la mejor estrategia para superar a los jefes.
Respecto a todo lo demás es igual que el Rojo Fuego original así que no hay mucho que decir.
