Play Pokemon Ice Fire (beta1.0) Online

You trek through frozen forests and volcanic fields, scrambling to build a team that won’t get wrecked by the first gym’s fire types while your rival keeps showing up with weird hybrid Pokémon. The glitches are there, but so’s the magic—feels like digging up a forgotten official ROM.

Game Overview

Pokémon Ice Fire is one of those fan-made GBA hacks that actually gets it right—it feels like stumbling onto a lost official game. You start in this weirdly beautiful region where half the towns are buried in snow and the other half look like they're about to erupt. The first gym leader uses fire types, but good luck getting there when half your early routes are packed with ice Pokémon that wreck your starter.

The new sprites are surprisingly polished for a beta—your rival looks like they walked out of a proper Gen 3 game, and there’s this one ice/fire hybrid Pokémon early on that made me reset twice just to catch it. Yeah, there are glitches (don’t talk to the old man in the second town unless you want to soft-lock), but that’s part of the charm with these passion projects. If you’ve ever thought "I wish Ruby/Sapphire had more volcanoes," this is your weird little dream come true.
