This game is based on Pokemon Adventure Red Manga, and the creator changed some events to make the game longer and entertaining. Some items, Pokemon, and skills added, making the game even more different and improved from the original FireRed game.
Pokemon Adventure Red nominated as top Pokemon Hack for several years; fans are eager to play the game, and some are waiting for new updates and improvements.
See Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter in action, Watch the video here.
The Pokemon Adventure is based on Pokemon FireRed US version 1.0 ROM, to play the game you need to have a Gameboy Advance emulator, I suggest using MyBoy or any of the recommended GBA emulator for Android.
Please note: This is not a pre-patched download. To patch the game, you need a clean FireRed v1.0 rom and a patching tool called NUPS. Here’s our video guide on how to patch an NUPS rom hack.

This is the only rom hack here that I can’t get to work. I get a white screen on VBA and EZ-Flash Omega says file overflow. I’ve tried both the Squirrels rom and a generic 1.0.
It Says On Visual Boy Advance That The ROM Is Invalid
(This Is Visual Boy Advance-m 2.1.4 Which Has An Auto UPS, IPS, IPF File Patch)
So What Do I Do?
I can’t play this on pizza boy GBA
You need to patch the downloaded file to a FireRed rom, here’s a guide we created for that, How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack.

How do I edit a rom hack on android? If Aethestode not willing to edit i will edit it using my phone? and also cooperating ips/ups or uploading the next update of this game.
Hey ROMUPS, I don’t think that’s possible on Android. These rom hacks are created and edited on PC’s. As far as know, there are still no mobile apps existed created for editing rom hacks.
I think pokemoncoders ips/ups files can easily patch the game on MyBoy! on android
1.Open File Manager & copy pokemon fire red 1.0
and ups/ips patch on new folder
2.Rename the clean FireRed Rom 1.0 and enter the name of ips/ups files
3.Open MyBoy! find those folder long press the the zip and then click the patch game then already have patched game so you can play it easy.
I found some video content on YouTube that its compatible to edit gba rom .
That sounds interesting. Could tell me more about it?
Here are the video channel on youtube that i have found
pls. watch
https://youtu.be/BT_-EFsyCvY/

Bro just download an app name is uni patcher then put this downloaded file in patch area and Pokemon fire Red v. 1 (usa) in base then simply patch it and then open it on ur gba and enjoy 🙂
Why Aethestode didn’t edit the map also you can’t fly teleport Ramuh/Shiva will teleport you but isn’t good alternative you can please contact Aethestode in the next update please fix some bug issues also adding maps,editing the map.
Hey ROMUPS, the best way to contact Aethestode is via Discord, but the server link seems unreachable at the moment.
The Pokemon Community site of Athestode still no response at all 🙁
I see, that is so disappointing.

Second I download unipatcher on my mobile phone.And the results is “This ROM is not compatible with the patch”.
Please Help Me.Im in confusion and frustration.How to exactly play this Pokemon version in handphone.(I hv no computer)
Pokemon adventure red vol 2 release date
I heard Athestode will realease it on PC instead of a rom hack.
Do you mean an RPG Maker XP version of the game? That sounds exciting. However, that means we can no longer use cheats if that happens. 😢
Yeah its truly sad that it will be on PC but you can upload it the download information soon .
Unrecognized GBA file
Please use a V1.0 FireRed rom for patching. You can also use FireRed Squirrels version, a version popular several years ago by rom hack players.
Which is latest? Expansion Fix B or Expansion Fix C? Tnx by the way.
Exp fix c is already patched game but fix b is the ups or patching file of the game I think?
I think i found a bug, in the chapter 18 the zapdos spam detect and after like 7 time it crash, i am stuck in since 2 days now
Hey,did i need v.1.1 of fire red or v.1.0?
You need fire red 1.0 to patch it 1.1 is not compatible.
How i can play volume 3 of pokemon red adventures
There is no volume 3 volume 2 is under development by Athestode 🙂
Is this version a finish version?
I believe the game is already completed but the author occasionally update the game to improve it further. I definitely recommend playing Adventure Red Chapter.
How can i download the latest version plz help me
where is the link???? i click the download and the mega page gives me a different file
Hey Pokemoncoders I played the game until chapter 9 freak show in the orange island after that it doesn’t allow me to go anywhere what should I do now
After that you have head back to first island for a chapter
How to have the map town in game?
You can’t find it just cheat using a code that pokemon coders uploaded it .Also it’s incomplete not the full map Haha I think Aethestode much feeling tired to update a better rom hack .
How can I play this game?I already download it but it doesn’t show in my boy!
You have to patch this game to a Firered rom, please check our guide on How To Patch IPS/UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack.
Actually for me you can patch it on MyBoy! in android just copy the ups files and fire red 1.0 rom on a folder then rename fire red as the same of name of ups open my boy long press then patch game wait few seconds then it will patched you can open it bit laggy.
Yup that works and I recommend it in fact, however, some rom hacks do not work with this method and require regular patching.
Is there a cheat code for modifying pokemon abilities? I’ve been soft resetting in order to get good S tier stats for my pokemon but when I do, I don’t get the ability that I like. It would be a great help if there were one.
I can’t get the patch to work can you help me out? Really want to try out the latest and “complete version”
Hey you can download john gba lite and it will help you play it. It is in Android but I don’t know about it working in IOS
I installed the game, when the prologue begins, my mum ask me to go outsite.
When I do this, the character go outside and when it is, I cannot move anymore, open menu or nothing.
Shiny Ditto
After [M] CHAPTER 13 – MEW HUNT, go back to Team Rocket’s base in the game corner and descend until you get to the room with the four stairs. Take the bottom left one and interact with the green sludge tank. Inside the creature will notice you and attack, this is a level 30 shiny ditto. Be careful with what pokemon is in your lead as moves like volt tackle (Pika has this) have recoil and will cause the enemy ditto to faint.
i. Love pokemon red chapter
This is a semi dark pokemon game, and I had just finished the Orange archipelago arc, and I really enjoyed the Game and is very fun, I didn’t need to grind any of my pokemon and I didnt uses any items during battles until the end of the game where a huge jump on the opponent’s pokemon level (well i did skip a lot of pokemon trainers, but you’ll see it) it had some few glitches that can disrupt your run. I’ll also give some insights on the game at the end of this review
Here are some major glitches that I found that will be very helpful for some first runners:
1. The very first glitch that i Currently remembered/ Found is after you become the Champion of Kanto, where you are first going to the orange archipelago, and just arrived there and exited the blimp, YOU SHOULD NOT return to Kanto region anymore, because if you try to talk to the captain and return to Kanto, YOU CANNOT GO TO THE ORANGE ARCHIPELAGO anymore, cause the captain does not let you choose you’re destination and your stuck in Kanto.
2. I Dont remember what specific route this is so I’ll just describe what happened, in one of the Island of the Orange archipelago, there is one grunt that is standing by a 4×4 tiled lake(or 6×6) do not swim to her and talk to her cause your game WILL FREEZE, you should just walk to her by the right side(not surfing) and an scenario will activate. Spoiler alert, I think this glitch happened shortly after Pink confessed to you.
3. On Rind Island, After you used the crane for a distraction and defeating the grunt that is guarding a path, you will go find the woman (I forgot the name) and you cannot approach her cause of the scenario, you should go to the lower right there, But i go to the left( Duhhhh cause i didn’t explored more) and found Martha on the bottom of a stairs, but you Can go up the stairs because Martha isn’t placed right ( At first I thought this was just a develeper trick cause duhh)
So you will see the Brock lookalike there up in the stairs and you will battle him, So after I battled him I noticed that something was wrong and tried to go to the lower right of the place where i Battled the Brock lookalike ( Geuron i think) and a Scenario activated and I was spoiled of What happened to pink WAHHHH, I WAS SO MAD, so just go to the lower right side of the screen after you saw the associations Lady’s Back. THIS IS PART MADE ME SO MAD CAUSEE WHYYY PINK BEST GIRL!!!!
4. On Challenging the way to Become the champion of the Orange Archipelago ( After rind island), you need to battle some trainers until the semi finals, after you reach the semi finals and will battle green, if you try to go back to the pokemon center of that Place, you can not go back to the room where you will battle Green or drake, Because there will be a bug that if you try To go back to the room, There will be a Dialog telling you that you should defeat the trainers(which you had just defeated then) wherein There is no trainers anymore there cause you battled them earlier, So your stuck in Those rooms. So Before you start the Challenges, I recommend that you Horde up some Full restores/Hyper potions and Max Elixirs Cause there will be so much battles wherein you cannot go Back to the Pokemon Center even After defeating Drake. I did not have many potions and elixirs here so I struggled and the Pokemon’s here got so much harder than the Previous battles.
5. So this is the last glitch that I encountered (Remember I still not fully completed the game), after Becoming the champion of the orange archipelago, there will be A scenario that green is interested in finding your dad, And another scenario where green will go to the Hamlin island to confront the green haired Fan of Green ( Cindy I think?) Do not Go to hamlin island and battle her, because if you did, you cannot complete the other Scenes where green is in the Pokemon center in pallet town. He will disappear there if you defeated Cindy. So to complete the pokemon center Green scenario, Sleep at your room, and talk to green After.

My Venusaur was the weakest pokemon in my team, cause when i got him, he’s best stat was speed and it was horrible, he was my lowest level Pokemon. But Pikachu was my main connector that made my team work, I would always start with it and thunder wave bitches and substitute and wait for speed boost to get +6 speed, then I’ll Volt switch with any of my pokemon, My poliwrath was my main sweeper, I’ll bulk up a lot then proceed to sweep, Though my team was weak against some typings like Ice, however i didnt want to change any of my Pokemons anymore cause i was attached. I also did a tactic with my Dragonair, where I’ll start up with pikachu again and wait for my speed to come up, then switch with dragonair then ill proceed to dragon tail them Bitches and i thought that was fun.
This is a Pokemon Game that Is very enjoyable, I didnt mind any Of the fakeymon( This is the first game where i didnt mind it) I just had to be very careful of glitches So if you’re gonna play this the first time, have many save parts. This is a game that I will recommend and am happy, will finish the game, but when I saw that huge level gap, i didnt want to leave my pokemon for others. Soo tadaaaa.
Ps. This is my first pokemon review
Another note:( SPOILER ALERT) why did the developers stoop so low when they Killed pink like WHAT THE F, I was hoping that they’ll keep them alive, but when they showed Her Sprite after likeeee wahhhhhhhhhh I was so Sad😭😭😭🥺

How can I evolve meowsy?
In line with my first question, i think the thing that triggers the freezing of the game is when zapdos detect moves runs out. In game, it has 5 PP, everytine it depletes, the game suddenly freezes. I don’t know the reason for my past encounters like victreebel and etc., But so far that is what i observed on zapdos. Pls help.
Why does the game always freezes? I think my first encounter was at the safari zone when victreebel and nido king attacked me. I had no choice but to use a cheat code to catch them. I experienced this for multiple times and the most recent is in saffron city battling with sabrina’s zapdos (the zapmulco chapter). I am stucked in this game. I don’t know what to do. I can’t catch it either. Btw, i am using beta 15 version.
How can i check the EV of pokemon
At some point in the game you get an item for it

Sir why is my pokemon in the beginning dont obey me when he is in level 11 please answer
After defeating porygon z. I’m not able to go pass the island its saying to talk to professor ivy but shes not saying anything than enjoy orange archi is there a way to get pass this and go to orange league?
I was loving going through adventure red again ( I played b 13) until I went to the lady with the Abra on an island from the orange islands to teleport to another island, but when I reached her I must have pressed something weird because my character disappeared and the menu wasn’t working and my character was appearing randomly around the place when I pressed A or B. This wouldn’t have been a problem because I thought I saved the game recently but soon after I reset it I realized that I last saved it before the indigo league with my Pokemon severely under leveled. Right before that happened I did lots of bonus chapters and defeated the gym leader in saffron city. I was just so frustrated that I don’t know if I can continue playing. I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience.
yep i did, but it was just after brock so i replayed and made sure that is saved every now and then, it happened again but after i invisibly went to a pokecentre and came back it got fixed
Hello, today the 29.04.2020 I had the same issues, it’s beyond me how this problem is that old and never fixed, I really liked this game and would have rated it 10/10 but with this bug my whole hype died, red even says other npc he defeated that lake monster when I talk to other npc in cerulean city, I even tried wall cheat to see if I can just no reach the point where he is located but well guess what? It does not work, game dead now for me wp guy who made this game, for fcking this up so hard. (It was meant to be a reply to someone who had the same issue with the lake monster quest)
Nothing inspires a developer more to fix bugs than hearing a guy with the username ‘FCK U Developer’ say that it’s all the devs fault. You mentioned you used cheats like WTW code. Check your box for bad eggs. If you have any, that’s a good indicator that it’s related to the cheats you used and not the devs. Also using pre-patched roms from various sites and/or wrong rom types (Rev1, V1.1, etc.) will likely cause issues.
So I screwed up and during the Orange cup after defeating Harris and before Green I went back to the pokecenter to heal. I saved for I did that in case I couldn’t go back, but for some odd reason saved after I healed And now I’m stuck. Every time I try to go back in told I can’t until I defeat the trainer. But there is no trainer. Is there away to fix this or am I screwed?
In beta 15 there is no rocket member in bottom of the celadon city. I cant get the uniform without using the cheats and i dont want to…
Why I can’t start the tournaments of the indigo league, and i think that bill and daisy aren’t around that’s why i need help?
Did u check in the park type area… With the pidgeys and stuff.?? It’s in the lower right side.. Cos that’s where I found him.. Also make sure you talk to the game corner grunt first..
Hey, I kinda forgot ???? on how to get back to citron island since rudy asked me to get back to trovita island. Can anyone help me?
