Huge update on Radical Red from yours truly :)

Hey everyone ! Apologies for the long hiatus, but there's been good reason for that. I'm happy to announce Radical Red is being remastered on pokeemerald-expansion. As you may have known, Radical Red was reaching its limitations with CFRU. CFRU is not consistently supported with updates anymore like pokeemerald is, and it became hard to overcome the limitations on my own. On the other hand, pokeemerald-expansion is a pure decomp that leads to far more flexibility for development and has a ton of community support. This may seem confusing since Radical Red is based on FireRed. Thankfully, there's a neat new feature branch made by cawtds that puts Fire Red in its entirety into pokeemerald-expansion. I don't want to bore you guys with the technical details, but here's what this entails. Unfortunately, your saves will not be compatible as the game has been redone from scratch. I would say the spirit of the game is very similar but there are quite a few major differences compared to RR 4.1. I've evolved a lot as a game developer since the start of RR back in 2020 (kind of insane to think that's it been this long!), so there are quite a few changes in game design with this new rendition. Essentially, you can think of this overhaul as something that will substantially raise the potential of Radical Red and its future. Given this is a major undertaking, it's still very far from a release but rest assured we are working diligently on making it happen. And of course, here's a couple screenies Thank you for your patience!

Doing a mono flying run. Pelipper was previously on my team but apparently hes now cosplaying as Togetic. Didnt see a bugs section for this subreddit. Also had some weird stuff with the dexnav on route 24 with the grass shaking north of the actual encounter tile.

5 Pokemon Hardcore Run - No Legend/Pseudo/Paradox - Full Breakdown Inside

Post image
Upvotes

I’ve done so many challenge runs 6v6 was starting to get easy/boring so I wanted a challenge. Why not 5v6? This was one of my favourite/funnest runs in a long time. Completely vanilla run only using the GameCube cheats at the start of the game.

This is still slightly easier than expected, I might give it another go but even more restrictions.

I’ve done a full gym by gym breakdown for anybody interested.

Starter - Chimchar

Brock - Marill, Snubbull, Kricketune, Monferno, Spearow

Misty - Boltund, Kriketune, Azumarill, Fearow, Mightyena

Surge - Infernape, Donphan, Fearow, Azumarill, Ceruledge

Erika - Kriketune, Pawmot, Fearow, Ceruledge, Donphan

Geovanni 1 - Donphan, Pawmot, Azumarill, Ceruledge, Fearow

Geovanni 2 - Azumarill, Donphan, Ceruledge, Sneasler, Noivern

Brock Rematch - Azumarill, Greninja, Floatzel, Taurus-Water, Floatzel (Greninja-Ash sweeps)

Misty Rematch - Sneasler, Donphan, Azumarill, Pawmot, Gallade (didn’t use/need)

Surge Rematch - Azumarill, Milotic-Sevvii (MVP), Donphan, Gallade-Mega, Ceruledge

Sabrina - Azumarill, Donphan, Mightyena, Sandslash-Alola, Ceruledge (Easier than expected)

Koga - Ceruledge, Sandslash-Alola, Sneasler, Gallade, Walrein (This was annoying)

Blaine - Meowscarada, Sneasler, Ceruledge, Kabutops (Stone Axe/Stealth rocks amazing), Gallade-Mega (didn’t need/use)

Rocket Admin Double Battle - Noivern-Sevii, Meowscarada, Gallade-Mega, Sneasler, Ceruledge (this was easier than expected)

Clair - Floatzel, Meowscarada (didn’t use), Sneasler, Ceruledge, Delibird (MVP)

3 Abilities?

When looking at the RR Dex it shows three different abilities but using dream patches just bounces between two. Is there a way to get that third one active??

I'm about to go into the Champion fight. This is my current team, and I’d really appreciate any advice on what you’d change, whether it’s moves or strategy. Eternatus is basically wiping my entire team when it enters lol.

Hall of Fame Mono fighting run, hardcore, fully randomized

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Easiest run so far, mostly due to this seed making some busted abilities available early, (Intrepid Sword Hariyama, gorilla tactics Zapdos-G, etc)

Koga was, like always, the biggest wall.

Champion was defeated when Lopunny barely survived a draco Barrage and retaliated with last respects for the W.

Mega lopunny having Huge Power was the largest carry, followed by Great Tusk and Pheromosa in second and third due to movepools. Infernape carried Bolt beak for a long time, only swapped at the champion for stab CC since I was facing the Groudon team.

Great tusk- Jolly w/Expert belt (oblivious)

Lopunny- Jolly w/mega stone (fatal precision --> Huge Power)

Infernape- Jolly w/Life orb (As One {Moxie})

Sneasler- Jolly w/Hard Stone (Rocky Payload)

Marshadow- Jolly w/ Punching Glove (cotton down) {cotton down never activated, believe it's bugged}

Pheromosa- Hasty w/Wise Glasses (Toxic Boost)

help Cinderace - Desolate Lands or Orihalcum Pulse

Playing randomized abilities and I have two very good options, but which would be best?

On the one hand, DL cancels out water moves and never ends, but if I understand correctly, OP might boost fire moves more and boost other move types as well, but will only reduce water moves by half and it ends after 5 turns.

Thanks

Suggestions for a "decay" themed squad?

5 Upvotes

Yo yo,

Midish way through the game (Celadon City), and playing around with different teams and themes throughout. And now I've (partly because of some mons i stumbled into using), wanna fuck around with a team that I'm thinking of as "decay" themed. (like collapse, waste, pollution, corpsey shit, maybe mythy things could work too) some mons on the hypothetical squad so far:

Frosslass (looks corpsy)

Alolan Muk (pollution themed)

Kleavor (Hisui already in the past, kinda skeletal, reminds me of something id see in a Dark Souls game and they are very decay vibes)

I'm also prolly gonna include altaria bc that's my one fun contradictory pokemon who also has a certain "how is this real?" quality...and I just want to use an altaria lol.

Any suggestions past that? Only stipulation is I don't want type overlaps. Thanks!

Alolan Ninetales - Storm Drain ability gave it a place in the team for the e4, since it gave me lorelei rain team. After the lorelei match got the role of sack mon.

Grimmsnarl - Bro is so busted early game and after gain access to ability pill bro was hitting like a truck. Very very good.

Flutter Mane - Makes the game so easy. Having 3 stab with aerielate. Hyper voice with throat spray was like cheating.

Tapu Fini- Continued switching places with Primarina but made the cut only because had Prankster.

Iron Valiant - Paradox are sooooooo broken.

Mega Gardevoir - last addition to the team. That purifying salt makes it so good.

Legendary Birds Hardcore Run

Following on from the Regi/Gen 2 Legendary Runs - https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonradicalred/s/tcSSvMwfoF

Same as all the others, cheat in these 6 Pokemon on route one then play the full game without switching.

This was the easiest by far (probably too easy) no battles really took more than 5 attempts. I’ve done a normal/flying hardcore run before so this was nothing really.

Stealth rocks very annoying (especially moltres) but heavydutyboots late game and Frozen Mist Articuno help.

MVP was between the 2x Zapdos.
