Firstly, I must thank jiangzhengwenjzw for fixing up the Climb Boots thing and removing the end credits. This patch would not be possible without his help.
Special thanks to jiangzhengwenjzw, 猪小P, thctbm, 邪亚斯 for testing the game.
This hack was a pretty famous one back in 2009-2012, it's sad that this will never be finished. The truth is, it's almost impossible replicate what the creator planned to do to this hack. So the main purpose of making this patch is to make the four nice fakemon: Regiwater, Regighost, Regifire and Pendular obtainable in the actual game. So, don't expect this to be too faithful to the creator's idea.
The following things were fixed:
The broken tiles.
Some unfinished features like Climb boots.
The following things were added:
The four legendary fakemon: Regiwater, Regighost, Regifire and Pendular(They are the reasons why I made this patch)
The rest part of the region(Which is based off the world map)
The gyms(Which were based off the badges)
Some events(Not too much, I added them to make the game less empty)
Some legendaries are catchable after you beat the league(Pendular, the official regis, the legendary birds and Mew).

This old in-game clock patch was made thanks to jiangzhengwenjzw's help. With this patch, the clock will run 6 times faster than the real clock, and the pc time doesn't affect the in-game clock.(There could be some minor glitches in this one, but it shouldn't be gamebreaking, and this patch should work on most fire red rom hacks which has the same rtc system)
