Pokemon FireRed Boosted ROM

Pokemon FireRed Boosted is a GBA ROM Hack by UltimateBlobrex based on Pokemon Fire Red. It was last updated on May 05, 2025.

Description

Pokemon FireRed Boosted is a rom hack of Fire Red and mostly makes it harder with new moves, trainer teams, and Pokémon stats. I hope that if anyone checks it out that they enjoy it.
