About This Game

Pokemon Adventure : Red Chapter (beta 2.5) Box Art

Introduction: Pokémon Adventure: Red Chapter is a fan-made ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed for the Game Boy Advance. It is a direct adaptation of the Pokémon Adventures manga, specifically following the story arcs of the protagonist, Red. The game is set across multiple regions, beginning in Kanto but expanding far beyond, with visuals matching the standard GBA style but incorporating numerous custom sprites and maps to match manga events.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The player starts with a Poliwag as their first Pokémon, a direct reference to the manga. The game's difficulty is notably higher than the official titles, with more challenging trainer battles and complex puzzles, making it less suited for casual Nuzlocke runs without planning. It is built on the FireRed engine, so it does not include the Physical/Special split, the Fairy type, or Mega Evolution. However, it features a day/night cycle and includes Pokémon from generations beyond the first three.

Key Features:

  • Faithful adaptation of the Pokémon Adventures manga storylines, including dramatic plot points and character deaths not seen in the anime or main games.
  • An expansive world that goes beyond Kanto, allowing travel to regions like the Orange Archipelago and Johto as part of the main narrative.
  • Multiple playable characters and story chapters, with the Beta 2.5 version focusing on Red's journey but including segments where you control Blue or Green.

The Beta 2.5 version is a significant but incomplete release, known for its extensive content and occasional bugs inherent to its development state.
