Description:
Pokemon Weird Type Fun is a GBA ROM Hack and based on Pokemon Fire Red by enwaitea. It has 18 all new types and a completely reimagined pokédex to match, WTF makes the ever familiar Kanto a little bit less so. It’s complete in English. You can play Pokemon Retype Red if you want.
Weird Type Fun is a simple rom hack with an even simpler concept: to have even series veterans be confused about type matchups. With 18 all new types and a completely reimagined pokédex to match, WTF makes the ever familiar Kanto a little bit less so.
While WTF sticks mostly to the core FireRed story and structure, some characters and lore has been changed around to keep things fresh. Event only areas (aka Navel Rock and Birth Island) have been made accessible through gameplay and a couple of new locations and small events have been added in.
FEATURES
All types have been replaced with new alternatives. Type matchups do not mirror original.
400-ish pokémon, assembled from up to gen 9 (thus including Hisui and Paldea). Also includes a couple of beta pokémon and fakemon.
Each pokémon has been redesigned to fit its new type (think Fool’s Gold, except more nonsensical)
Moves and items updated to match the new types
Mostly faithful Gen III Kanto experience with some new twists
KNOWN ISSUES
This is very much a first rom hack situation. A funny sprite project got out of hand and I learned rom hacking on the go.
There is the occasional oddity/issue with the hack I have yet to figure out how to fix (some of them directly caused by my blunders early on in the project, haha). Nothing game-breaking as far as testing has revealed, but I will list what I know here for reference.
There are some stray pixels in the opening animation
Rival’s palette messes up in the opening sequence if you give him a custom name. Won’t affect the rest of the game.
Shrinking sprite also gets pixelated
Rival walks up to the wrong ball when choosing starter, gets the right pokémon though
Rival’s first optional battle near Viridian doesn’t trigger
Pokédex automatically records some late game legendaries as seen
The pokedex popup often shows the wrong entry when catching pokemon (usually Scorbunny or Lotad), the correct dex entry is still recorded. This bugs me the most out of everything tbh.
Teachy TV can crash the game when used, hence it is not given out.
Some evolution items say “check” instead of use. Still work as normal when check is chosen. If you give these items for pokemon to hold you can end up with some pretty glitchy effects (anything from item duplication to turning boxed pokemon to bad eggs), so play around with that at your own risk :LOL: These items can be used and deposited to the PC like normal as long as they’re not attached to pokémon.
Eevee (chaos) and Eevee (void) genders don’t show due to replacing Nidorans, their genders are still recorded and will be displayed after evolution
Oak’s Aides only count “kanto dex” pokémon even though national dex and national pokémon are available from the start
Several trainers have pokémon they’re not intended to have, mainly obvious with some gym trainers and, sadly, some rival fights
The move Camouflage has rather nonsensical effects
Dodydra’s front sprite’s beak does…stuff…when it uses Fusion Dance
Running is not allowed in several new maps quite annoying
Flying to and from new maps also disallowed, most egregious with Blackthorn City
TM icon colours don’t match types in bag
Directional arrows show up where they aren’t supposed to on some maps
Five and Six Island never register as fly spots on some playthroughs
Some issues (the TM icon colour issue and weird directional arrows) I simply did not deem important enough to delay the “release” of this patch. As for the more complex ones, I will continue to investigate but would also be super grateful for any tips in regards to fixing them.
This game is a GBA ROM Hack. It’s Complete in English.
