▶ About this hack

Red Complete is the original Game Boy Pokémon Red with all 151 Pokémon obtainable without trading or a second version: Blue exclusives appear in the wild, every one-time choice can be obtained and Mew is hidden in Viridian Forest. After the League there is a real post-game: rematches with all eight Gym Leaders and a final battle against Prof. Oak.

It also brings mechanics and conveniences from newer generations, like the physical/special split, the Gen 6 EXP. Share, infinite TMs and running by holding B, with the difficulty rebalanced so it stays challenging.
