Insane Difficulty: Pokemon RedBlue: Certainly Not Worse Edition - Insane Difficulty

I keep finding "I'll release after I finish X", But then a new X shows up! I worked out a bug with critical hits lately and rebalanced 32 of 152 pokemon. I'm very close but I'm gonna stop guessing when it'll be done.

There's still a bunch of stuff I want to add, but most of it is post-game events anyways, and so it can wait.

So do you update the patch each time? Is it playable now?

I do yes. The patch currently posted is the one before the Labor Day patch. Keep in mind I'm balancing the end of the game first so if you were to start a new game now your experience would be much more vanilla than I intend. The save file will always be compatible though; you just might miss out on learning some moves, or similar.

I'll start making a habit of putting up what I get done, if people are interested,

I would be.

Aha~ Well, this time is a bit of an exception; I was implementing a female main character and stole sprites from another hack for testing purposes. I'll get those replaced and update the hosted patch this weekend. Watch this space!

Patch is updated. There's a few known issues; trainers often say their lose text when they win, instead of nothing. Lorelei's Jynx isn't using its Lovely Kiss like it should so at least part of the AI is still broken. Female main character is ugly and needs a proper spriting.

...i still wiped to Bruno though, so it's definitely starting to be a proper hard type. 53 pokemon are rebalanced! More to come soon.

I kind of want to see the female main character...

Well this'll probably be your only chance! I'm getting my artist friend to work on a replacement this weekend. So if you wanna see the ugliness, go download the ips patch and start a new game. The experience will be certainly not worse than original (barring any bugs I introduced accidentally). Saves will always be compatible.

Only the gym leaders have had any sort of rebalancing, but since I optimized the movesets of roughly half the pokemon so far, trainers are less likely to have sucky moves by default.

New version out; download link on topic leader. The game has proper female sprites now! (but intro dialog is still not edited, *sigh*)

The game difficulty has also be adjusted (up to Brock), let me know if anything seems off or unfair.
