So one would think that since I played through Pokemon Radical Red all the way up to the Elite 4 and Champion challenge on the absolute easiest mode possible, I'd be able to finish, at least, the main campaign, right? Right? I mean, I got all the way there, may as well.
I couldn't even get past Lorelai.
Even with a meta team I made using an infinite rare candy cheat code, I had to concede...
Maybe I am just a filthy casual (I'm sure everyone will say so in the comments) but damn, regardless of my incompetence, Radical Red is hard.
But even moreso than just being a rage-inducing difficulty hack, Radical Red is an an absolutely massive achievement in rom hacking.
It's a huge experience, with what some may even describe as having the problem of content overload. There is just so much in Radical Red, it's no wonder it's the most popular Pokemon ROM Hack.
But is it actually fun? Even for players like me who want a more casual experience, let's find out.

Yes, Radical Red, specifically the version I played for this video, version 4.1 was developed by Soupercell, with help from others and of course, the Complete Fire Red Upgrade.
But even since it's first completed version, Radical Red has been iconic, taking the original Pokemon FireRed and injecting it with the most powerful steroids known to man.
Radical Red, as stated before, is a difficulty hack, sure. Intended to create many levels of high level competitive gameplay in the shell of the GBA Kanto region classic.
But alongside that, there is just so much more.
You ready? Cause this is gonna get insane.
Pokemon from generations 1-9,
Custom, original versions of Pokemon
Fairy Typing,
The physical-special split,
Mega Evolution
Z moves,
Dynamaxing and Raid Battles,
Re-usable TMs and a much improved HM system with shortened animations,

Almost every important battle item

Options to streamline IV and EV training,
Dexnav,

the ability for Pokemon to follow behind you on the overworld,
faster speeds in just about every area you could think of,
field effects,
brand new, original abilities,
Battle style forced to SET, (unless you really wanna keep it as shift)
Boss fights don't allow access to the bag
New buffs for previously less useful Pokemon,
Additional rivals,
Additional story missions,
Additional recurring enemy bosses,
Level caps,
Many available new roaming legendary Pokemon to capture,
an upgraded game corner,
Generation 8 EXP share,
Nature changers in every Pokemon center,
And so many more quality of life improvements as well as notches to overall difficulty.
My God, it's just humongous.
Now as much as I appreciate all these wonderful features, even on the easiest difficulties, Pokeplebians like myself are still gonna be challenged, and the game warns you of that too, saying that it will never be as easy as a vanilla Pokemon playthrough.
So if that's a deal breaker for ya... maybe look elsewhere.
However, even despite that, I still have to say I had a wondrous time with the game.
