Pokémon Dark Violet is a reimagined FireRed ROM hack by Chaos Rush that completely rebuilds Kanto with new maps, alternate progression, and custom assets. Instead of a straight remake, Dark Violet offers a familiar-but-new adventure where routes, cities, story beats, and exploration are all reshaped.
Pokémon Dark Violet takes the foundation of Pokémon FireRed and rebuilds it into a fresh RPG experience. Towns are rearranged, routes are redesigned, dungeons are altered, and progression is no longer a one-to-one copy of the original Kanto journey.
