About This File
This is a feature-complete patch for Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen that restores all e-Reader content cut from non-Japanese releases of the game.
Using these cards, players are able to battle new trainers within the Trainer Tower on Island Seven of the Sevii Islands.
Up to 8 cards can be scanned at a time, and the order in which they are scanned determines which Trainer Tower floors the trainers occupy, as well as their teams.
Scanning these cards also provides new items rewarded upon clearing the Trainer Tower in the target time.
To scan cards, FireRed or LeafGreen must be inserted into one Game Boy Advance, and it must be linked via Link Cable to another Game Boy Advance containing an English e-Reader.
Players must select 'MYSTERY GIFT' from the CONTINUE menu (Unlocked by entering 'LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL' in the survey at the counter of any Poké Mart) in Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen and follow the on screen prompts to scan cards.
If using emulation, mGBA is recommended.
This patch was designed to be as faithful as possible to a hypothetical official release that included e-Reader compatibility, so we've made sure that the game connects to the English version of the e-Reader, and both the cards and the ROM loaded into the e-Reader have also received full localization.
A full set of localized card files are included within the download in the 'Card Files' folder.
How to patch:
The .GBA files for FireRed and LeafGreen can be patched using FLIPS: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1040/

An e-Reader restoration patch for Pokémon Emerald is in the works, and patches for localizations of other languages may come at a later date but are reliant on decompilations of those languages.
Enjoy!
