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

This is a hack of Pokemon Fire Red
Creator: Frostbite
Original thread:

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.
