Information
Author: Final Destination
ROM Base: Pokémon FireRed (U)
Hack Version: v1.2 - Up to Cerulean's Rocket Event (2 badges!) See below for what you can do in this version
Introduction
Hey. I'm Final Destination, creator of
Pokémon Ruby Ultra, but due to real life issues, I had to abandon it. But I'm back, and I'm here with a new entry into the Ultra series, and this time it's Pokémon Fire Red Ultra.
This aims to let you catch all 386 Pokémon without trading, and has a higher difficulty. I'm not just talking about levels, I mean I'm talking about
higher AI for important trainers. For example, Brock's Pokémon had a whopping 0 AI points. I gave them 50 AI points
I've also changed a few things around, nothing TOO plot breaking or anything that'll warrant it going into Progressing Hacks D: So without further ado, here are the features!
Features
~
Catch all 386 Pokémon from within the comfort of your own ROM!
~
Nothing's easy anymore. Even if you might be OP in the original game, here, sometimes level doesn't matter. Some trainers now have higher AI which lets them utilize strategies better.
~
New areas, later in the game for the Legendary Pokémon (Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Latios, Latias)
~
Scattered around Kanto are merchants that will sell you rare items like the event tickets
~
Rematch the gym leaders
~
Some moveset and evolution changes
~
Use the Move Tutors - Infinitely!
~
The FireRed decap and the FireRed DP font patches were applied, along with a few bugfixes.

Bug List
Current Beta (v1.2): None, post if you find any though. It's the reason why the beta is not 1.0 but 1.2.
Next Beta (v2.0): None, yet. The version number will go up if I find enough bugs to warrant such a change.
