Description:
Hello, Welcome back to Pokemoner.com, and I’m Pokemoner. We will play Pokemon Awesome Version XD by hinkage. It’s a GBA Hack ROM and based on Pokemon Fire Red. If you actually play Pokemon Awesome so you can play this game because it’s better.

Your starter is Snorlax, you have a new story, a new region, and more fun features. It’s actually awesome Hack ROM. It’s still a beta when I was making this video. Anyway, Let’s play!

Features:
-Two versions–one has edited Pokémon types/sprites/matchup chart, and the other doesn’t (“normal”). The reason being that some of the sprite edits (palette swaps) are hideous, and no doubt some won’t like them. % = feature is not in “normal” version.
–% Type changes only effect the final evolution. I like to think of it as something horrible having happened that causes Pokémon to twist into these abominations upon evolving.
–% 37 changed Pokémon, see a detailed list below.
–% Changed type matchup chart, see below.
-NO P/S split. I thought about it, and I like how the Advanced metagame works. However, I did change Dark to physical and Ghost to special.
-% Ghost-types cannot be hit by physical moves, except Dark. That’s because they’re so malicious they break the rules, or something. As Masuda says, “Haha, I don’t really know XD”
-15 new moves, see a detailed list below.
-Many existed moves buffed, see a detailed list below.
-All new routes, towns, cave and forest dungeons.
-All new characters (but not new sprites. Please understand).
-Sideways stairs!!! YAAYYYYY!!!!!!!
-Some “new” music, aka music inserted from other games.
-Much cheaper items, but you have to pay a sales tax.* You also earn less for winning battles.
-You can steal select items from Poke Marts, but you run the risk of getting banned for life. If you get burned by Scald a lot, I wouldn’t try it. Of course, you could just save before each attempt, but that’s cheating. You’re not a thief AND a cheater, are you?
-Pokémon Centers have a $500 copay, but the price can be reduced if you have insurance.
–Mommy (not your mother) will always heal you for free, but you still won’t be able to use the Storage System if you go to her.
–*If you blackout, you’ll be healed for free. That’s what your taxes pay for.
–Each Center has a pharmacy in the basement.
-4 difficulty modes – easy, normal, hard, and conductor. These are explained in-game. They just change Trainer/wild Pokemon levels.
-All random Trainers are optional, except in dungeons.
-Rival and Leader fights are 2v2. Rival are 1v1 if you only have 1 mon, but for Leaders you must have at least 2.
-Random Trainers quote song lyrics at you. Maybe it will remind you of a song you’d forgotten, or introduce you to a new one if you find the lyrics interesting.
-No HMs. You cut trees by jumping up and down like the captain in LGPE. You break rocks by punching them (duh). For surfing, you get a surfboard that just happens to look like you’re riding a Pokemon. Again, please understand. Waterfall I haven’t figured out yet.

Descriptions:
Pignosis (Bug) – A hypnotic spell of disgusting greed that causes all Pokemon on the field to fall asleep.
Bionic Arm (Steel) – The user builds power in its arm, then lunges at the foe with a spine-shattering punch. The foe faints if it hits.
Freeze Kick (Ice) – An icy kick. It may also freeze the foe.
Jolt Kick (Electric) – A sparking kick. It may also paralyze the foe.
Thigh Crush (Fighting) – The user headlocks the foe between its thighs. The foe becomes infatuated.
Backhand (Normal) – The foe is slapped in the face. All Pokémon have their stats reset. (Couldn’t do Clear Smog effect).

FAQ:
Q: Why change type matchups?
A: It makes sense for Poison to beat Water; for Ghosts to be completely unaffected by physical moves. The latter especially is cool–it sounds broken at first, but it really isn’t. Also it’s a fun change. A case could be made for Poison beating Normal and Bug, while being resisted by Dark, too. But that comes later.

Q: Will there always be 2 versions?
A: No. I really love the reimagined/warped Pokemon, so I’d like that to be the definitive version. But, if enough people hate them, I’ll continue with just the vanilla mons.
