About This Game

Pokemon Priti Ruby : Hoenn Starters Box Art

Introduction: Pokemon Priti Ruby: Hoenn Starters is a fan-made ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed. It is not an official game or a bootleg. The hack takes place in the Kanto region, using the standard FireRed map and visual style, but with a significant change to the available Pokemon roster.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The core feature is the replacement of the original Kanto starters. Instead of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, the player chooses from the three Hoenn starters: Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. The hack does not implement the Physical/Special split from Generation IV, nor does it add the Fairy type. It retains the FireRed engine, meaning no Mega Evolution or a built-in day/night cycle. The difficulty is generally similar to the base FireRed game and is not specifically designed as a Nuzlocke challenge.

Key Features:

  • Hoenn Starters in Kanto: The entire adventure begins with a choice from the Generation III starter trio, allowing players to use them throughout the classic Kanto journey.
  • Expanded Wild Pokemon: While keeping the Kanto region, the hack modifies wild encounters to include Pokemon from Generations II and III alongside the original roster.
  • Minor Quality-of-Life Tweaks: Common hack features like the ability to run indoors and reusable TMs are typically present, though the exact implementation can vary between different versions of the hack.

As a straightforward roster modification hack, it offers a familiar Kanto experience with a different starter team composition.
