- Updated Graphics: All of the Fire Red graphics have been updated to Gen IV styled graphics. Tiles, overworlds, sprites and battle backgrounds.
- Updated Pokémon: Pokemon from Gens 1-7 will be available in the game. The Fairy type is also present in the game. They will all have updated movesets and abilities to closely resemble the ones found in OR/AS or Sun and Moon. New evolution methods have also been added in order to closely resemble how the Pokemon truly evolve.
- Updated Mechanics: Improvements to gameplay to enhance the player's experience such as the Physical/Special split and Mega Evolution, as well as a BW Repel system and X/Y capture experience. Real Time Clock is static (RTC = Disabled)
- More Items: Features new held items, in addition to the Gen IV Poke Balls, and over 100 reusable TMs. In order to compensate for the increased item amount, the bag has been replaced with a digital device capable of holding an infinite amount of items.
- New Music: Music from many different Pokémon Games is present in Pokemon Unbound. This music ranges from HGSS and BW, all the way Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
- Side Quests: Many optional quests are present in Borrius. These quests yield great rewards, and after a certain point, unlock something special.

Customer Reviews
Really really cool that they made this rom into a cartridge I love playing it on my modded gba, just wish there was something to replace the clock system for the gba version because there is no clock on the gba. Maybe a timed day and night cycle? Otherwise no complaints
Pokemon Unbound is a game that has real time clock features but the cartridge itself doesn't support that feature and if you're using the cartridge directly in original GBA hardware, any functionality related to the clock doesn't work. Other than that, the save function works fine, the cartridge and box arrived on time and in new condition.
Thanks for the review. Yes, the Real Time Clock feature is static when playing the cartridge on real GBA hardware. It's only enabled when playing on an emulator. This applies to all the other ROM hacks too.
I’m 20 hours in over the weekend so safe to say it’s good enough to waste your time with!
Pokemon Unbound (Gameboy Advance GBA)
Really impressed by the product quality! I am enjoying Pokémon Unbound, probably the best rom hack I’ve played. I’ve already ordered a few more Pokémon titles for my gba. Highly recommend!
