Straight answers
- What is the latest version of Pokémon Ultra Violet Version?
- Latest version: 1.22.
- What is the latest catalog note?
- 19 Mar 2013 — Version 1.21 in development. Read the dated note
- How do I update Pokémon Ultra Violet Version?
- Confirm the current creator-owned patch instructions, then re-patch a clean, unmodified base ROM you already own. Save compatibility between versions depends on the developer’s instructions; do not assume saves carry over. Checked creator/source route
- Is Pokémon Ultra Violet Version finished?
- Status: complete. Campaign: Complete. Version 1.22 is the developer's final update, and version 1.22's only change lets players who cannot use in-game saves skip the post-Elite-Four reset, with the National Dex available through Oak's lab. LocksmithArmy describes 1.22 as his final update and states that every Pokémon has been double-checked as obtainable. He dates none of his releases; his posts around version 1.21 are from March 2013, so 1.22 is later than that.
- Which base game does Pokémon Ultra Violet Version need?
- Base game: Pokémon FireRed (English)
- Which starter Pokémon can you choose?
- The usual Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle choice, plus a catch-your-first-Pokémon option the developer added in version 1.10. Your starter choice determines which of the three legendary beasts you encounter.
- Where is the checked creator/source route?
- Developer posts during the 1.21 development period
- Which platforms and emulators are confirmed?
- The developer publishes a pre-patched build rather than a patch file; Pocket Deal Radar links his thread only. · Do not carry a version 1.0 save into version 1.1 after Mt. Moon — the legendary beast flags break. · Version 1.20 was withdrawn by the developer; 1.21 and 1.22 supersede it.
- Is there an IPS or UPS patch for Pokémon Ultra Violet?
- No. The developer publishes a pre-patched build in his own thread rather than a patch file, so there is nothing to apply with a patcher. Pocket Deal Radar links the thread, not the file.
- Can I catch every Pokémon in Pokémon Ultra Violet?
- The developer's stated aim is that one save can catch every Pokémon from the first two generations, with Generation 3 Pokémon on 4-Points Isle and Mew, the Hoenn legendaries, Lugia and Deoxys obtainable without event distributions.
- Can I keep my old save when I update?
- No. The developer warns that moving a version 1.0 save into version 1.1 after Mt. Moon breaks the legendary beast flags. Start a fresh save on a new version.
- Who made Pokémon Ultra Violet?
- LocksmithArmy, who writes as its developer in his own release thread. Attributions to other developers found elsewhere are incorrect.
What kind of adventure is it?
Pokémon Ultra Violet keeps FireRed's general design and story and rebuilds availability around completion: the developer's aim is that one player with one save can catch every Pokémon from the first two generations, with the Generation 3 roster collected on a new area, 4-Points Isle.

- The developer dates none of his releases, so no release date is recorded here
- The map and story are largely unchanged from FireRed apart from added areas; this is a completionist edition rather than a new adventure
