Pokemon Azure Horizons 2023 True Continued version(21/11/2023 update)

This is a hack of Pokemon Fire Red
Creator: Frostbite
Original thread:
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=151068

It's hard to say when Frostbite will be back to work on this again, but the previous release were not close to his original ideas enough in my opinion, so I made this. This 2023 version was released to make this one feel more like how it was supposed to be if finished by Frostbite, the creator of this great hack. 
He actually told me almost everything about his plans for the future update back in 2020, he said the true future relese were supposed to have these:

- Expanded Pokedex with Sinnoh Pokemon (+ Sylveon and without Sinnoh legendaries since there's no place for them in the hack).
- Have Sinnoh starters be the starters for the hack.
- Physical/Special split.
- Day/Night system.
- New evolution methods.
- New abilities.
- Have opposite gender protagonist play role in story.
- A few other features that are present in the yet another Fire Red Hack project.
- HM Masters whom you must find and beat to get the HMs, some of them will be well-hidden.

So I added them all and polished up it a little bit, I can't say it will be the same to what the creator planned, but it should be close enough to call it a better continuation than all the previous releases.


I have fixed these things:
(1)The titlescreen.
(2)You may not be able to leave Amethyst Gym.
(3)Some glitched tiles.
(4)Some Pokemon's broken movepool.

I have added these things:
(1)All the hero and heroine's OWs.
(2)Rival's OWs and sprite.
(3)Heroine's backsprite.
(4)All the unfinished towns, paths and gyms.
(5)The OWs and sprites for the rest of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four.
(6)Some legendary Pokemon.
(7)And almost everything the creator mentioned to be added in the actual final release.

Update 21/11/2023:
Thanks to Allen Ceedos and Olivia R.'s report, some more glitches were spotted and fixed. What's more, I realized I might have forgotten about fixing the cries, now the Pokemon should have their proper cries.

  1. Ayee, just wanted to ask, have you added extra events or just completed the game by adding gym leaders and an E4? Also, there's no physical and special split, right?

    1. No, I did not add any extra events since the creator didn't say what would happen next, and there's no gen 4 pss split in this hack.

    3. You're supposed to go back home and talk to your brother. This fixed version is exactly the same as the original one except for the things I have added/fixed, so you can check out the playthrough of the official beta2, it should be helpful.

  7. Sorry to bother you here. Not sure where else to contact you. But can you look into liquid crystal. Its 99% complete but the battle tower and battle challenge in cianwood are very glitchy. Plus the final islands arent complete. It seems to be abandoned now.

    1. The creator said he wants to finish it by himself, which is much better. So the only thing I can do is to try to help out if he needs some help. It's so good to see he is going to finish this, and I will delete this blog when he really begin with it.

  14. Thanks for the great work as usual Hacksrepairman. This is Allen from Pokemon Community. I just responded to your message there asking if Frostbite gave you any documentation for the game? Because that would be really handy since I'm working on a walkthrough for the game.

    1. You can find him on Route 807, he's behind the pond near the Tundra Warehouse, so you need Surf to reach him.

  16. Hello Hacksrepairman! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, I really appreciate it. I saw that you added sinnoh pokemon and I was wondering if that means buizel is in the game?? And if they are can you please tell me where they are? Thank you so much!

    1. Yes, all non-legendary/mythical pokemon from generation IV are available including Buizel, I do remember Buizel can be found on Route 806 and Route 807(The part around the Tundra Warehouse) while surfing.

  18. I cann't find the surf hm master and have gone all the way and beaten grant the ground leader and haven't seen the flash or rock smash hm master either. Where are these masters
    (they didn't need to be masters of hide & seek too)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nevermind! I explored through the first floor of the cave following the groud gym without flash and the 2nd floor wasn't dark so I didn't need it. Found surf there. I thnk flash master is in the previous forest using surf. Still have no idea about rock smash.

  20. Hey there! I have been playing the 2023 update on my 3DS but am not experiencing the day&night cycle? I know I updated the file properly bc I have the Gen4 starters now - any idea what could be wrong? The ROM save type is Macronix with the RTC, maybe I need to save it as Sanyo RTC?

  21. Hello hacksrepairman, thank you for fixing this game, it's quite enjoyable. Are you also able to fix the pokemon cries and the area displayed on Pokedex? Every pokemon past gen 3 is having a Bulbasaur cry. And the area of pokemon on Pokedex is still the Kanto region. If not could you share the disassembly code or the symbol file on GitHub? That way people can contribute. I would love to help. Thanks!

  22. I think it's obvious but the screams of the Sinnoh pokemons are those of Bulbasaur (I think the game itself gives them that scream as a placeholder since they haven't been programmed). Knowing this, I was wondering if there is a way to make the screams sound like they should sound (I know you mostly only deal with bug fixes, glitches and continuing hacks but I would be very excited to see if it can be done or not) .

    Anyway, thank you very much for bringing to life one of the many hacks that I played in my childhood (without knowing that they were incomplete), this being along with Mythic Legends and Old White the first ones that I played. Honey and the best to you from Peru.
