Investigation Brief

The site at pokemonfireash.net provides platform-specific downloads for Pokemon Fire Ash, a free fan-made RPG Maker game following Ash Ketchum. Google Safe Browsing reports no threats. VirusTotal shows one stale suspicious flag from a single engine amid 58 harmless results. Domain registered November 2025 with no abuse reports on its Google-hosted IP. No credential harvesting, external redirects, or malicious content observed on the page.

Site function and content

The captured page lists direct download links for Windows, Android, Linux, Mac, and Steam Deck versions of the Pokemon Fire Ash fan game. No login portals, payment forms, or data collection elements are present. Body text and metadata are minimal, consistent with a simple download landing page.

Key safety signals

Safe Browsing clean. VT reputation neutral with stale Bfore.Ai PreCrime flag only. IP abuse score 0/100. TLS absent on HTTP connection. Domain 265 days old with no linked complaints or regulatory flags. Forum references confirm the game as a known RPG Maker fan project distributed via similar links.

Practical risks and advice

Download sites carry inherent file-risk regardless of host reputation. Verify file hashes against official fan community sources before running executables. Avoid the site if seeking official Nintendo content.

Why the score is 78

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  • Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  • Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  • Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is pokemonfireash.net a scam or is it safe?
pokemonfireash.net has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is pokemonfireash.net safe to use?
pokemonfireash.net has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 74%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has pokemonfireash.net been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged pokemonfireash.net as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is pokemonfireash.net on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — pokemonfireash.net is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the pokemonfireash.net domain?
pokemonfireash.net is 8 months old, registered on November 6, 2025 through NameCheap, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does pokemonfireash.net have a valid SSL certificate?
No — pokemonfireash.net has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is pokemonfireash.net hosted?
pokemonfireash.net resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in GB (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the pokemonfireash.net report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 30, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about pokemonfireash.net has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
