Pokemon that you need to trade to evolve have been modified so they evolve in some other way now.

Oak was a real traveler back in his youth. The 3 starter Pokemon are scattered throughout the land. It would be silly to find extinct Pokemon chilling out on Route 14 wouldn’t it. This makes it so there is not random location with these rare Pokemon residing. In Ultra Violet you are allowed to take BOTH Fossils and BOTH fighting Pokemon. Moon you choose between Kabuto and Omanyte (by picking a fossil) and in Saffron you pick either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan after defeating the Karate Master. There are 2 instances where you are given a choice between 2 Pokemon. For example on route 24 in Fire Red you can find Oddish, but in Leaf Green you will find Bellsprout… in Ultra Violet, you can find BOTH Oddish and Bellsprout. If you choose this option, while you are gone, your impatient Rival picks Charmander as his partner.Īll pokemon from Fire Red and Leaf Green, that are catchable, will be residing in the area that they were obtainable in the regular version of the game. Be sure to catch a good one, you will never be able to go back to that area again. He will take you to one of his facilities and let you throw your fill of Safari Balls at some rare Pokemon until one is finally your Partner. If you talk to Professor Oak without choosing any of his 3 Pokemon, he realizes you do not want his hand me downs, and offers to let you catch your first Pokemon by your self.

Right off the bat, when you begin to play you will notice the new title screen.Īlong with the TitleScreen you may (or may not) notice that the stock names chosen for you (if you press start with no name typed) have been augmented to reflect the game title, you will not find FIRE or RED as a name anymore, but ULTRA and VIOLET… also the rival names have been altered to match a fictitious rival game (based on blue version).Īlso, as you are getting your first Pokemon you may or may not notice an option to Catch your First Pokemon. This new game has been altered in many ways to make the game more enjoyable, but it still has the same general design and story as the original Nintendo release.Īmong many other improvements, it has been made so that 1 player with 1 gamesave can play through the entire game and actually catch all of the Pokemon from the first 3 generations. Pokemon Ultra Violet Version is a hack of the GameBoy Advance game Pokemon Fire Red Version.
