About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Ultra FireSun is designed as an improvement and expansion hack rather than a story rewrite. It keeps the FireRed foundation but dramatically increases the amount of available Pokémon, moves, and battle mechanics.
The hack includes Pokémon from Generations 1 through 7, introduces the Fairy type, adds Mega Evolution, and implements modern quality-of-life systems such as EV/IV viewers and experience gain upon catching Pokémon. It also adds a large number of Fakemon, bringing the total roster to over 1,400 Pokémon.
The goal is simple: deliver a modern Pokémon-style experience inside the GBA engine without losing the feel of classic FireRed.
