About This ROM Hack

Pokémon Ultimate Mega FireRed is an extensive remake of the original Pokémon FireRed, developed by Maddy Styles and Arvin Torrente. It modernizes the classic Hoenn adventure by including updated moves, new Pokémon features, and an expanded gameplay experience that incorporates elements from Generations 4–6. The hack maintains the FireRed base but introduces large-scale enhancements like Mega Evolutions, Primal forms, and the Fairy type, alongside an updated battle system.

 


Story Overview

The story follows the standard FireRed adventure in Kanto, with your character traveling across the region, challenging gyms, and facing the Elite Four. While the main narrative is unchanged, Pokémon availability is significantly expanded, including many Pokémon not normally obtainable in the original FireRed. Legendary encounters are available but mostly require cheats. Players explore familiar towns and routes while encountering new gameplay mechanics and updated Pokémon stats and moves.
