Pokemon Astral Red is a GBA ROM hack based on Pokemon Fire Red, bringing a fresh twist to the classic game by introducing Fakemon from the Procyon & Deneb series, as well as from Pokemon Altair/Sirius and Vega. While the story remains the same as the original Fire Red, the Pokémon roster has undergone a major transformation.
In this hack, all the Kanto Pokémon have been replaced with unique Fakemon due to a mysterious dimensional shift. These new creatures come with their own stats, movesets, abilities, and evolution methods, closely aligned with their original counterparts from Procyon & Deneb. Even though the story follows the familiar Fire Red plot, encountering and battling with these Fakemon offers a fresh and exciting experience.
Some highlights include:
- A complete replacement of Kanto Pokémon with Fakemon from Procyon & Deneb, plus a few from Altair/Sirius and Vega.
- Fully updated front and back sprites, cries, and shiny forms for all Pokémon.
- Correct types, stats, and abilities based on their original appearances.
- Evolution methods adapted to fit the mechanics of Fire Red.
- Gym Leaders and Elite Four with updated Pokémon that match their types, providing new challenges.
- Easter eggs and secrets hidden throughout the game.
