Pokemon Radical Red Cheats & Cheat Codes for PC and Emulators

Pokemon Radical Red is a ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed created by Soupercell and koala4, released in 2020. The ROM aims to create a challenging experience for the player while also adding modern mechanics and Pokemon. Although the ROM has received mixed reviews from casual fans of the series, those looking for a difficult Pokemon game tend to enjoy Radical Red. It is considered to be one of the best ROM hacks for the game due to its expansive and innovative features.

Pokemon Radical Red Premise

Pokemon Radical Red expands and improves upon the base game of Pokemon FireRed. The ROM hack adds tons of new features, including all Pokemon up to the 8th generation, raid battles, mega evolutions, and updated graphics. The game follows the same storyline as FireRed. Players will meet Professor Oak, battle gym leaders, fight Team Rocket, and become the Pokemon Champion. One of the main differences is that Radical Red features much harder difficulty in battles. There are also built-in randomizers that will give players a fresh experience every time they play. However, this will make the game significantly harder due to how unpredictable it can be.  

Players will be required to grind for exp and take new approaches to battle. With the enemy AI significantly better than in typical Pokemon games, you must think differently about defeating your opponent. The game also includes a hardcore mode which will end the game if your character is ever K.O. Using cheat codes can lend players a helping hand but may take away the experience for those wanting something new and difficult.

Pokemon Radical Red Main Characters

Radical Red features the same cast of characters from FireRed. Although the characters are the same, there have been some dialogue changes, but the game still follows the original story.

Red/Leaf: Red and Leaf are the main protagonists in Pokemon Radical Red. The two are the male and female counterparts in FireRed and LeafGreen. Both are from Pallet Town in the Kanto region and are rivals with Blue.

Professor Oak: Professor Oak is a Pokemon Professor in Pallet Town. He gives Red/Leaf their first Pokemon and Pokedex. He is the grandfather of Blue and assists the player throughout the game.

Blue: Blue is the rival of Red/Leaf. While picking his first Pokemon, he will always choose the type that counters the player’s choice (i.e., Choosing Fire if you pick Grass). He used to be good friends with Red/Leaf in childhood but slowly drifted apart as they got older.
