• 5/20/206 Update: Radical Random: Mono rules are toward the bottom, pardon my junk repository here. Just a place to host my in progress stuff, but if there's going to be traffic, I'll overhaul the site. Hycrean Tarot link is below (Gray Box) and is now stable on browser, both mobile and desktop. iPad support is lagging. 

Thanks,

• 4/22/2026 Update: Commit #22, on 4/22 of Hycrean Tarot. Online multiplayer is picky, but working. Desktop to desktop is more reliable. Local and hotseat are stable, and the intended flow of the game. Enjoy!

The Challenge:

Out of the box, Radical Red comes with some of the best QoL features out there, helping to keep the focus on the intelligently designed and often grueling battles, and not some of the more tedious aspects you may remember from your youth. With that spirit in mind, here's my challenge recommendation, designed to maximize what is great about Radical Red, and to help you enjoy every last Pokemon, Ability, and Move through Gen 9.

Called Radical Random: Mono, the challenge is to efficiently Defeat All Boss Trainers with a Randomized, Monotype Team of 6 Pokemon from your Pool. Target Runtime is a 10hr clear to Champion, from Pewter forward.

Lets get specific:

• Start with a New Game+ Save of Radical Red 4.1. (If you don't have one, you should definitely play the game as intended first. My first clear on 3.1 took me over 80hrs, and I needed every minute of the training.)

• When Asked: "Do you want to simply play Radical Red without any custom options?" Select NO 

• Difficulty Options: DEFAULT

• Minimal Grinding Mode: YES

• Species Randomizer: NORMAL SPECIES

• Ability Randomizer: YES

• Learnset Randomizer: YES

Hit DONE and lets get to implementing some built in QoL 'Cheats'.

To meet the criteria for Radical Random: Mono, the following 4 Codes must be entered into the SNES, CASE SENSITIVE NOTE, its a good move to lock in your run before entering the codes, to save yourself time:

• Woyaopp (Rare Candy Gifts in Viridian City)

• DexAll (Dex Nav shows ALL Pokemon, immediately)

• SO2Toxic (Care Packages with obscure items throughout the game)

• EZCatch (All Pokemon are caught with the first ball thrown)

These QoL Cheats help keep things moving by giving fair access to often necessary extra items etc. A 10hr Clear Requires These Codes, as of 2025. But somewhat obviously, don't start your game clock until the fun begins! Don't sweat the menu build time. It should be fun, feels like cracking packs, to me.  

Good. Almost there!

Notes:

• Not officially a rule, but 'Play it as it lies' is the passive rule of thumb. I typically stick to the same team unless I'm completely walled out

• Any other unmentioned Mystery Gifts (Puzzle, Mega) are yours to choose to use. I use them

• Rules are being updated, as things come up, but this is the way, as of now

• Save States make the world go 'round. When in doubt, do what feels right to YOU--the challenge is to use your smarts and your Pokemon allies to conquer Boss Trainers, quickly, and Radical Red is natively resistant to Save State abuse cases (Battle pathing doesn't change on reset, i.e. if it didn't crit, it will never crit and vice versa)

• This is NOT a Nuzlocke type challenge, HOWEVER if you cannot proceed in the game without breaking the rules, i.e. the Pokemon in your Pool can't overcome your next opponent, your run is OVER

• 10hrs is the Target Runtime, but a W is a W
