So the next time you hear a rustle in the bushes outside, or see a squirrel bury a nut with frantic, purposeful energy, consider this: it might be hiding an Ember. It might be waiting for the right player to press A at frame 1636. And if you ever manage to catch it? Do not save. Do not trade it.

This leads us to the "squirrels." While the original FireRed featured the Squirtle line and the occasional Rattata, the "1636 Squirrels" concept refers to a specific strain of "Moemon" or "Fakemon" hacks. In these versions, the traditional sprites are replaced with stylized, often squirrel-themed characters or "gijinka" (humanoid) versions of existing Pokémon. The term "Squirrels" also acts as a wink and a nod to the most famous ROM dumping group in history, "Squirrels," who were responsible for the high-quality digital backup of the original FireRed v1.1 ROM.
