Pokemon Master

Introduction: "Pokemon Master" is a fan-made ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed that runs on the Game Boy Advance engine, not a Flash Classic title. It is set in the new region of Ardore, which features a mix of new and familiar locations. The visual style uses the standard FireRed tileset with some custom sprite work for new characters and a few areas.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The game offers a choice of three starters: Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. It is designed with a higher difficulty curve than the base game, featuring stronger Gym Leaders and wild Pokemon with better movesets, making it a solid choice for players seeking a challenge. The hack retains the original FireRed mechanics, meaning it does not include the Physical/Special split, the Fairy type, or Mega Evolution. The day/night cycle is also not present.

Key Features:

• A completely new storyline with original characters and a rival who appears more frequently.
• Access to all 386 Pokemon from the first three generations, including many in the wild that were previously event-exclusive.
• Reusable TMs and the ability to use Running Shoes indoors, two quality-of-life improvements imported from later official games.

The hack is generally stable but may have minor scripting bugs in later areas.
