Pokemon : Legend of Fenju (alpha 1)

Introduction: Pokemon: Legend of Fenju (Alpha 1) is a fan-made ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed for the Game Boy Advance. It is set in the new Fenju Region, a land inspired by Chinese mythology. The visual style uses FireRed's base tiles and sprites, with custom maps and some new graphical elements for key locations.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The hack retains the standard FireRed engine, meaning it does not include the Physical/Special split or the Fairy type. The starter choices are Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. The difficulty is standard, similar to the base game, and is not specifically designed as a Nuzlocke challenge. Key mechanical changes are limited in this alpha version, but it does implement a day and night cycle, a feature not present in the original FireRed.

Key Features:

• A new region and story centered on the legendary Fenju, a dragon-like Pokemon unique to this hack.
• The inclusion of a day and night cycle, affecting wild Pokemon encounters and some visual aesthetics.
• As an early alpha, the game is incomplete, featuring only the first few towns and routes, with notable bugs and placeholder text in some areas.

This hack offers a glimpse into a new region but is primarily a proof-of-concept build for a larger project.
