15
Pokémon Ultra Violet 200x200

Pokémon Ultra Violet

Pokemon Ultraviolet is a popular patch for the Pokemon Fire Red. The story is largely unchanged, except for the new Four-Point Island and the fact that you do not need a Nintendo event to get to the last 3 islands. In this patch, ALL Pokemon of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation will appear and so it is possible to catch all Pokemon without having to trade.

Pokemon which had to be exchanged for development or developed only at a certain time of day, have been modified and can now be developed by items or training.

The game, unlike most published hacks, is very stalked and almost 100% glitch free. If you like Pokemon Fire Red / Leaf Green, you'll love it here. There were some funny or practical things with built-in, of which I find particularly noteworthy:

You do not have to take bizarre, glumanda or shiggy! If you want a different starter Pokemon, you only have to approach Prof. Eich and he brings you into a reserve where you can catch your first Pokemon! For example, B. Larvitar and Dratini.

Many players say of this hack it would be the best hack ever to be released and stopped. Unfortunately, the patch reached the scene which made it possible to save the hackrom on a cartridge and sell it. In response to this Zel, the creator of the hack, provided a note at the beginning of the game which states that you can return to the game if you have paid for it. The game has been almost completely reworked. Shiny Gold can thrive with change of development, new events and 3rd generation Pokémon.
