ANNOUNCEMENT: Right now the hack is undergoing a complete overhaul. Various audio aspects, wardrobe sprite overlookings, extras features, custom text problems, and other things will be changed in it, as well as potentially bring a brand new perspective to the project as a whole. Until everything is done with it - not just one individual part of the hack - I'll only be releasing bug fixes.
![]() ![]() ![]() There are tons of hacks out there that completely change up the Pokémon experience to make something new. But what if you just wanted something that attempts to improve upon the great game that is already there? Pokémon (FireRed) Throwback is my attempt at doing just that. This hack incorporates new features and fixes into the 1st Gen remake to try and create the best, most faithful version of the original Kanto story available. ...Oh, you wanted the game's story. You're a kid from Pallet Town who is sent off into the world Pokémon to capture monsters for sport. And battling! Be the best by becoming champion and...catching 'em all? Insert motivational sentence here. ![]() Throwback contains a variety of patches that you can use at your own leisure: pick one or some things, or put all of them into the game! Fully read through the Extras section for a boatload of (minor) changes! I plan to have as much support for both FireRed and LeafGreen as possible. It started as only a FireRed hack like so many other hacks do, but I feel that the latter version still needs some love. Look for the Venusaur icons to see what is currently working for LeafGreen. ![]() ![]() Home of the first full-featured set of 8-bit tunes for GBA Pokémon hacks. No relation to the GameCube accessory. Offering both new and old versions of tracks for a game is never a bad thing, as both have their own charm. This patch incorporates the original 8-bit tunes into FireRed, based right off of the code from the original ROMs. Check it out! Disclaimer: This video was from an earlier version of Throwback. Many tweaks have been made since then.
Spoiler:
![]() Circa 2000. Stuffing 300+ Pokémon into a game the size of FR/LG can make things awfully crazy and nonsensical, as well as not properly replicate habitats of the original games. What I offer is a "fitting" alternative: the first two generations. They're all soundly located and dispersed throughout the game. I've added several new events for the one-off Pokémon such as starters and legendaries. Consult the included location/event guides for more information! Trade-evolved Pokémon still evolve through trade to keep with series canon, but can also be caught on one specific map in the game. The big update will change this. If you wish to get Celebi, please read below in the "Other Patches" section. Using this patch, or playing with the complete hack, will yield you the above, version-agnostic (even though it requires a specific ROM) title screen. Why the simple name "Pokémon", you may ask? Well, if you think about it, the name makes sense. What's the name of the original Final Fantasy? Final Fantasy, of course. As a remake of the original experience that took the world by storm, it holds the name strongly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Keepin' it old school with super-stylin' threads! Like this one! One of the presentation changes of FireRed and LeafGreen was new clothing styles for the main characters (the player and the rival). With this hack, I try to replicate the looks of their original looks with reasonable results. Most relevant sprites, including the overworld sprites, battle sprites, and opening and credits sprites, have been changed to do so. Now you can roll with the fresh versions of these dudes! Quit trippin' on today's junk and start chillin' in the old days to the max! ![]() ![]() ![]() And yes, the female protagonist has a hat on. It's to keep with the tradition that all playable characters in the main Pokémon games wear some sort of headwear. ![]() ![]() For the hack-playing connoisseuers. Did you ever wish that Game Freak had made a few things more user-friendly or convenient for serious playing? Or do you just want to enjoy a few of the spoils brought about from later generations? This hack attempts to satisfy that craving of yours. With a varying array of fixes available, there's certainly something here to please you. Portions of this patch description that are in red are only available for FireRed, not LeafGreen. This is likely due to discrepancies in the code between FireRed and LeafGreen that extend beyond shifted data.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Because goodness knows there's not enough patches in the download already! Included in the download are a few other patches that can enhance your playing experience. These aren't part of Throwback itself and can be considered off-shoots.
![]() Besides the above credits for their specific hacks, these are the more general thanks:
Jambo51: Music bank switching, time-based evolutions, Trainer facing fix ZodiacDaGreat (with fixes by Shiny Quagsire): Real Time Clock HackMew: Pokédex fix, Roaming IV fix Darthatron: Modern Repel system diegoisawesome: Game Freak opening fix, skip intro tutorials FBI agent: Infinite TM usage daniilS: 4th Gen Poison on the overworld behavior Here is the list of tools used:
Spoiler:
Here's a banner if you want to support the hack! ![]() The correct ROMs to patch to are BPRE and BPGE v1.0. The .zip file for FireRed should contain the complete hack, a folder with the five separate patches, and various documentation for the hack. The LeafGreen download will have three individual patches, missing the Catch 'em All patch and the "other" patches. The main patch (FireRed only) includes all Throwback patches combined into one, along with full decapitalization of all text in the game - original or hack-added. If you want to patch things individually, then go ahead! It should run fine on actual hardware. The only issue you will have is with obtaining Umbreon. The GBA doesn't have an internal clock, so the game won't have a dynamic in-game time to which it can refer. Because of this, if Eevee evolves via happiness, it will always evolve into Espeon. The Pokémon location guides are for the content from Catch 'em All. Refer to them if ever you have a question about where a Pokémon can be found in the wild or need help finishing the events. The documentation includes locations for most of the things inserted into the hack. Only look at it if you're curious or are wanting to add your own things to the hack! If anyone has any suggestions to create the best-yet-faithful version of the 1st Generation adventure, feel free to notify me. Also, anyone is free to use and modify these patches for their own projects so long as you give proper credit. Enjoy your time in Kanto! Last edited by Alice; 3rd March 2018 at 01:44 AM.

I've put up a quick update to the hack that fixes capitalization consistency with move type names in battle. This will affect both the individual Decap patch and the complete Throwback patch. Enjoy! |

We do not allow rom links here, it is against the forum rules. We also do not condone piracy. However that said, I will say that the rom you are looking for can be found easily by simply googling "Fire Red BPRE 1.0". I did a quick search for that phrase and I found multiple results.

New Version Available!
As of now, my hack has its own, unique title screen. Check it out in the OP! It's used for the Catch 'em All portion of the patch, so you'll see it if you use either that patch or the whole hack. The credits have been updated to display a more conventional title since I'm throwing out the whole concept of a Pokémon game "version." Oh, and I fixed a slight error with the standard title screen in the Decap patch. Hope you like the new identity! Sorry, I can't give you direct help since I'm exclusively a Windows user. I'm guessing you're trying to use MultiPatch? It seems to be a reliable program, so I don't know why it would be acting up on your end. |

Updates!
After having been lost the last several days, I'm back to upload a more substantial update to Throwback. Two things to talk about here. First, the hack now has supports LeafGreen. The GB Player, Wardrobe, and (most of the) Extras patches have made the transition to the latter version and are ready for people to use in their desired color choice. For those of you who picked that version over the "typical, ordinary" FireRed, this is for you! Second, the hack is now at version 3.7.1. With it comes reusable TMs, unlimited usage of the elemental Hyper Beam tutor, and some various fixes and optimizations. Time to take even more control in prepping your Pokémon for the big time! Also, I've put a banner in the OP for anyone who wants to show their support of the hack. Enjoy! |

A hack that supports FireRed and LeafGreen? I am thoroughly impressed! I love this hack and I will probably take the time to play it soon and just listen to its 8-bit awesomeness.
