This continued beta is based off the latest beta the creator was working on. And thanks to the creator, I've learned so much about how the game was supposed to be like so I did my best to finish the rest part the creator didn't finish. I managed to make full use of all the ideas the creator mentioned Hopefully, I;ve made the game closer to how it was supposed to be like. But sadly, there was still one thing which is different from the original plans, which is the Day/Night system, which had caused too many glitches so I had to disable it to make the game stable.

Screenshots:

Credits to jiangzhengwen for the r button world map and double battle system fix, thctbm for testing the game, and Fangking Omega for the new tiles.

3/5/2023 update should have removed the day and night system completely to keep the game stable.

5/5/2023 update fixed a great amount of movement errors, and the following bug/glitches were fixed:
Sapphire was not obtainable.
The Hoenn legendary event in Cliff Cave is not working properly.
Some text errors.

8/5/2023 update fixed the following bug/glitches:
Some events didn't have proper scripts.
Some more movement errors.
Phantom Bush glitches.

15/5 update fixed the following bug/glitches:
The elevator of the department store didn't work.
Some more events which lacked scripts.
The wrong tileset of Gelan Town.

18/5 update deleted the in-battle day/night system completely. Also, the rival battle music could be wrong at times, that was fixed as well.
Additional fix: Two swimmers in Klindor City lacked dialogue, this was also fixed.

26/5 update fixed some more glitchy events, also, Teleport is no longer a field move to prevent some glitches from occuring.

14/6 update fixed some more minor glitches, also, thanks to jiangzhengwenjzw, after you got the pokegear, you'll be able to view the town map by pressing r, which is the only actual working function for the pokegear.

15/6 update fixed some more glitches, including the glitch which makes Power Plant unaccessable.

17/7 update fixed some text errors, the glitch which prevented the Elite Four events from resetting was fixed. Also, the items being sold in the fan club became more expensive.

31/8/2024 update fixed some map errors. Some more legendary Pokemon are catchable in this updated version. Kris is added as a final boss like Red. Also, the seemingly unintentional level curve change between the first gym and the second gym was fixed. The level curve should be closer to offical games by now.


12/10/2024 fixed a few gambreaking glitches which only existed in the previous patch.

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.
