Pokémon Rebalanced: Red
This is a project to improve almost every Pokémon until they are usable in some way during battle. I intend to do this by:
Standardizing and redistributing every included Pokémon's Stats(BSTs), with an eye toward keeping any character they had.
Raking through the movepools of every included Pokémon and adding where it's needed.
Redistributing the better/more battle useful Abilities to more Pokémon and adding more Abilities in general.
Lastly, type additions/changes. There should be very few of these.
What I don't want to do is give every Pokémon Multiscale and Draco Meteor, but to increase weaker Pokémon's BSTs and movepools to where they can compete with each other as equally as possible. If the Pokémon is totally devoid of any character, or if it could be useful to contrast it with another Pokémon of the same typing and "animal" type I'll do so. Arbok and Seviper make a nice example, as I'd like to further Arbok as a bulky physical sweeper while making Seviper a special counterpart with a new special version of Intimidate. Making trainer battles challenging by both making Pokémon better, improving their AI, and giving them teams worth fighting is the next goal. Gym leaders should be a major, but fair, challenge now. Rival battles are going to be major pains in the butt. Not all 721 Pokemon will be in this hack. I'm thinking 350 tops, 300 if I do a cut down. I don't want to overload Kanto with everything under the sun. I'm doing this in a remake of Red to iron out the Pokémon details and gain experience with RPG Maker XP. I hope to make the base Red plot more interesting with some additions to Team Rocket's actions and making the NPCs more involved overall. You are still the hero however, you just have some help with time.

===Story===
The base story is still the same. Leave Pallet Town, start your Pokemon journey, get waylaid by Team Rocket, remove them because they're a bunch of assholes, and remind Dicks Blue who's boss. The doing has changed. Major NPCs are much more active, helping you out or even teaming up with you. Minor NPCs react to events, at least locally. There's a second rival to engage with alongside Dicks Blue. Major story events play out much differently and a few big events have been added. Overall, I wanted to keep Red/Blue/Yellow intact but add meat to the story.
===Demo!===
I've completed the storyline and eventing up to the end of Saffron City! That's five gyms, two caves, two ships, a Rocket base, a vacation, the Pokémon Tower, and Silph Co. I've rebalanced all ~280 Pokémon currently in the game. A hundred new moves are in and slotted into movesets. Following Help14's Pokémon is in. FL's numerous scripts are in. A EV/IV Screen is in.

Hosted on the subreddit. A few minor issues. Mac? Try this. If you are a windows user, I recommend running it in XP compatibility mode.
The Gen 6 addon has introduced these non-crashing battle errors I have trouble tracking down...
Recoil is buggy
Going to Slateport has issues. I advise you not to go yet.
Feedback welcome! A pastebin/post/text file/google doc of any errors you run into would be appreciated!
