About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Ultra Skies is a FireRed-based ROM hack that reimagines the classic Kanto experience by blending traditional gameplay with modern Pokémon content from Generation 7 (Alola) and earlier generations. The hack maintains the familiar structure of Pokémon FireRed while introducing updated visuals, new characters, expanded Pokémon availability, and redesigned gameplay areas.
One of its defining features is the introduction of Ultra Space, a new exploration zone that expands beyond standard Kanto boundaries. Alongside this, the game integrates updated sprites, redesigned trainers, and modern-era Pokémon starters, creating a hybrid experience between classic GBA gameplay and newer Pokémon generations.
As a Beta 1 release, the hack is still in an early playable state, meaning content is present but not fully finalized or polished.
