Pokemon Saiph is a ROM hack of FireRed made by #Vytron. Like any GBA ROM hack of this kind, they can run on any type of GBA emulator. It has updated graphics and animation because it looks like one of the DS games. The story is also an unofficial sequel to one of the Pokemon games but more on that later. The number of Pokemon in the game is also updated as well as updated stats and types.
Speaking of types, Fairy-type is present in the game as well as other features. This game is confirmed to be complete but it still has some minor bugs that you may experience when playing the game. The other thing is that the Pokedex may be a bit buggy for the time being. Be sure to check out for more updates if ever this game has any.

What you need to know about Pokemon Saiph
Story
Just as we mentioned, Pokemon Saiph is an unofficial continuation of Pokemon Rangers Shadows of Almia. Donโt worry, we wonโt be spoiling any plot from that game and the story here isnโt official anyway. Then again, it is still your typical Pokemon story where humans are mixing Pokemon with their desires for power and more. The story takes place in the Hoenn Region and while the plot is all about saving the world once again, you still end up doing the basic Pokemon stuff.
Features
Letโs start with the aesthetics of Pokemon Saiph because the pixels are pretty much based on the Generation V games on the DS. You also see that there are background images during the battles. In terms of music, there are tracks from the DS games playing in some locations. In terms of the Pokemon roster, it is all over the place. You have Pokemon from Generation I until VI and is still a bit unclear which the confirmed ones are.
To some extent, the stats are updated for the Pokemon available. This also means that the Fairy-type is in the game as well as all available Pokemon having updated types not just on Generation III. In terms of gameplay mechanics, there are a lot of things added. We have the appearance of the sideways stairs. This isnโt such a big deal since it all boils down to design but it is always a welcome one.
The items and TMs are also updated in the game. Speaking of the TMs, they are also reusable so you donโt need to worry about wasting a TM since it wonโt be going anywhere. Thereโs also a lot of added content like a different area in Hoenn not present in the other games but it isnโt official. Then, thereโs another Region called Colen that you can explore later on.

WHATS THE USE OF THE MEGA BRACELET WE GET FROM LITTLEROOT TOWN
Worst experience I had im deeply disappointed and dissatisfied I just got my last gym badge I went in Victory Road this annoying trainer cornered me into a battle I couldnโt go further or leave Victory Road cuz this irrelevant trainer forced me into a battle and wouldnโt move out of my way I was forced to reset the game and I have to deal with that unnecessary gym puzzle and get the last gym badge again I deleted Saiph cuz Iโm never playing rom ever nor Iโm playing its sequels you guys better fix this bug
Does zorua have an ability in this game ?
Why does the Pokedex only register Kanto Pokemon? I have almost 25 Pokemon, and only 3 of them are actually in my Pokedex.
How can i play this rom?
Hi Kiyan, first off, after downloading the file you need to patch it to a clean Firered V1.0 rom. Luckily, we have a tutorial on how it is done,see How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack. To play the game I recommend using emulators such as MyBoy or Visual Boy Advance. Many players also utilize and take advantage of using cheats, check our All Pokemon Cheats Compilation section for that.
Im on MacOsX using the emulator OpenEmu; I downloaded the file but the emulator does not seem to be able to read the game file.
Any information?
Thank You
Thanks for coming here Mariboo, the downloaded file needs to be patched first. Hereโs a guide we created on How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack
How do i get tiny or big mushrooms I really need them for th e love releaner
How do I even patch this? Itโs failing multiple times but Iโm patching the right game, that being Fire Red (U) v1.1
Hey there Xenos, try using FireRed v1.0 or the FireRed squirrels version.
Hello, Iโm the developer of this romhack.
I am concerned due to the misleading and vague information given here, as โmultiple peopleโ as the creator is not just false (as I made this game alone) but also extremely vague and thus pretty much disregarding someoneโs effortsโฆ
I hope it will be corrected soon to real information, have a nice day/evening
โ Vytron
Hello Vytron, sorry for what happened and thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just want you to know that weโve already corrected the information and added credits to contributors.
The creator is me, Vytron I didnโt work with other people
How do you make this game work on My Boy? I cant open the game, srry its my only emulator for android :P
You have to patch the downloaded file to a FireRed rom to make it work. Hereโs a guide on How To Patch IPS and UPS Files to Play a ROM Hack.
Awesome game!
Does u have pokemon the last fire red cheats
Hi there Onstar, sorry but we donโt have a cheat for that rom hack for now. But since it is a FireRed based game, Iโm positive that our FireRed cheats will work for that game https://www.pokemoncoders.com/pokemon-fire-red-gameshark-codes/
