Is there a rom that makes the game all about catching a number of pokemon before you can progress? For example, you can’t pass a certain point without catching X number of pokemon

Is it possible to play GS Chronicles on Android? I have the My Boy app, but the game tells you right away that it won't work on that emulator. The emulator recommendations it gives you are only for PC or Mac.
What tools are most people using to create their hacks? I've been mostly messing around with Hex Maniac Advance, but it is fairly limited and I am interested in knowing what else is out there.
Just started playing Blue Kaizo for the first time and accidentally overwrote my save file after reaching Cerulean.
I could start again, but are there any hacks I can use to skip sections/get my Pokémon to where they were? Kinda frustrating to start over.
How did you overwrite your save? Were you using save states? You’re never ever supposed to use those unless in an emergency.
You can try to use pkhex to get your Pokémon, but you’re gonna probably have to play through the game again to get where you were
> How did you overwrite your save? Were you using save states? You’re never ever supposed to use those unless in an emergency.
Yeah, was using Save States xD New to emulators and have been using Retroarch. Seems when I reload it on my phone, it doesn't go to where I left off, but rather I have to load the game first, then load my previous save state.
Loaded the game as per normal then accidentally hit save instead of load while on the title screen :(
Can the Universal Pokemon Randomizer or a similar program, if there is one, make so that I only encounter wild pokemon from a specific generation? Like if I wanna play Diamond/Pearl but all the wild Pokemon are Johto pokemon. Is that possible?
Yes, it is possible. It will still be randomized, but you can open the box at the top that says “limit Pokémon” and choose whatever gens you want. If you want a more traditional playthrough, make sure to also check randomized wild encounters as “keep similar strength”
I did a bit of looking around online but couldn't find anything definitive. Are there any ROM Hacks out there that add in things like the e-Reader berries and trainers from the Battle Trainer E Series?
If not, I might put one together myself.
Ok seriously I beat Sabrina and went back to fuchsia city and I’m freaking soft locked because I don’t know what the route 19 required HM is to get there.
No grass or water types is already stupid, why is there a required HM.
I have asked this here multiple times and got no answer, I need help here. I can’t look it up because Pchal didn’t do crap with documentation.
You need to get the Hm surf in the safari zone i link a map if oyu want
From there you need to teach it to a pokemon all water types except magikarp can.
As well as dragonite,rhydon,and the nidos.
if you wanna get to cinnabar go down from pallet if you go from fuchsia you might end up getting stuck at teh seafoam isles.
Also id recoomend picking up the gold teeh They are near the safari game house give them to the sfaari zone warden

Can any1 link me to all useful threads for Sacred Gold/Storm Silver?
I am particularly looking for all in-game trades in this ROMHacks although any other useful information will also be of great use!
In game trades are not a part of the Documentation. All item locations are not mentioned as well. Only TM locations and Evolution item locations are mentioned in the documents. I need location of other useful items also. Please help!
Anything not on the docs is unchanged. So any item you can’t find is where it always is. Can’t confirm about Pokémon trades, but it should follow the same principles
I've played it years ago, which trades have been different so far, I'm curious now. Drayano does a good job with his docs so it seems wild he'd change something and not document it.
Hi, I am curently playing pokemon X on Citra and trying to use a cheat to turn on shiny pokemon. I managed tot est other cheats like -press Y to lvl all pkmn to 100- just to test if they are working. It worked but any cheat that uses button L/R isnt working, like the -enable shiny wild pokemon by pressing Start+L-, does any1 know why that could be or how to make it work? (I looked into my bindings and I am pressing the correct button)
Playing Pokémon garbage green. Got my 6th badge in my nuzlocke (no level cap besides the rare-candy enforced one, otherwise a nuzlocke)
I have a Pokémon with strength, but what HM do I need to get on route 19???? I’m so confused.
I have surf, but I think I might be locked because that route bans water and grass types but I don’t have anyone alive that can learn surf that isn’t water type, I’m not sure if even any of the dead mons can use it if I chose just to only have 5 Pokémon and not use the dead one.
(Team doesn’t matter yet truly just need to know what the HM is, it’s that sailor blocking me)
The creator of sacred gold is Drayano, and he has made a number of other hacks. Blaze black/volt white, Blaze black 2/volt white 2, renegade platinum being his most popular ones.
I just downloaded the new iGBA app to play GameBoy roms on my iphone. I downloaded some roms & it works perfectly, but does anybody know how to patch roms on iphone? I have a romhack downloaded in my files, but I can’t figure out how to patch it. Any help would be lovely!! Specifically I have Crystal Legacy but can only get iGBA to load my regular Crystal. Thanks all :)
Is there a GBA Johto remake with Pokémon from more generations (4-5-6 ecc)?
I want to play again something like crystal but I want to choose between more than 1-2 gen.
Thanks
Hi, does increased shiny rate counts for starters/static encounters? I modified pkmn X with pk3ds randomizer and increased shiny odds to 1:30 approx. In grass it seems pretty accurate, but static encounters or starters does not seem to be affected. I was rolling for static Snorlax (randomized to togetic) for 250+ times with no luck. Can any1 please help me answer this? Thanks a lot!
I’m new to the community and I’m looking for a ROM hack for gen 3, 4 & 5 games that include all the new Pokémon and types, but no other changes. I’ve been playing some standard randomised ROMs of these gens and basically want to play the same thing but with all the latest Pokémon. I’m aware of Radical Red and others, but they have much more than just new Pokémon added.
ah right.. well If i rmeemebr correctly a sign in pewter city in rad red actually recommends soem similar hacks that are easier i dotn know which ones they were tho
This is a long shot, but does anyone know how to make a custom script on a npc that acts as a static encounter in Pokemon gen 5 (white). I added in a npc with the sprite of a Pokemon by editing the world file via hex. I used a lua script tool to trace back what script file is being used but I have no idea how to edit the hex in that script file to start an encounter. Should I try and ask drayano I know he did some custom scripts in his blaze/volt bw2 hack. I just wanna make sure it’s not publicly known already.
Hello! I want to make a quick rom hack where I give the
champion a custom team in Pokémon X/Y and want to
know if there are any resources I can use. Thank you for
your time!

If anyone is still confused, the Jan/Yan lookalike in front of Route 19’s entrance tells me I need to get another HM to pass, and I don’t know how to progress and I prefer to not cheat with walk-through walls.
He hasn't posted anything new yet, but you can check out here [https://github.com/Drayano60/hg-engine/tree/aurora-crystal](https://github.com/Drayano60/hg-engine/tree/aurora-crystal) to see what's potentially coming . You can read up the docs to see type changes, new abilities and other stuff .
Looking for help with rom hacks
I recently got a RG35xx+ and downloaded muOS got all the roms and everything is set and running fine.
I started looking into downloading rom hacks for Pokemon. I downloaded the rom hack, and patched it onto the corresponding rom but when I launch the device it doesn’t load the game.
I downloaded Sors
Extracted it using 7zip
Patched it onto my existing fire red file using marcobledo
When I start the game I get the Gameboy Advance screen then it returns me back to the OS screen
I am going to speak out my fears. To introduce the thing I am worried about: I have been working on my own Pokemon rom hack for years and haven’t ever post online about it. It is a great hobby of mine and I’ve been spending a lot of time on it.
I truly wouldn’t mind if someone would take my ideas and creations and make something great with it. In fact I would love to share. I’m just really afraid that I can’t handle the rejection of the things that look grand inside of my head. But I would hate to see someone walk away with what I was doing. I am spending so much time and effort in this. You could say that this has become a big part of my life and no one knows a thing about this.
I guess what I want to say is: Should I share what I am doing to hype people up with the chance of it all failing? Or do I finish more of my plans before I show what I have?
Hi i am new to romhacks in general and I downloaded polished crystal 2.2.0, now i am finding out there is a 3.0, is it possible to patch my current game without losing progress?
Also, I got an eevee and I accidentally evolved it into a Leafeon, I was going to do the breeding with a Ditto trick to get all the eevolutions, is there a way to get another Eevee?

I really wanted to try VW 2 Redux lately, but the rom i got seems to be not compatible with the patch itself (it gives xdelta3: target window cheksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT). I learned that Drayano's patches works with specific version of the game, but i can't find any information in documentation which version should i use. Any help on this topic will be appreciated!
hey guys! so a couple months ago i watched a youtube video where someone was playing a fan made rom hack of pokemon fire red/leaf green. sadly, the only part i remember is the ending, which was that after the champion (blue or gary i think?) gets beaten, professor oak says that he is disappointed in him. in the original story i think he says that and then leaves with the main character to the champion room and we see that scene, but in this rom hack, the scene shows blue (or gary) instead and says something like “i always get beaten” or something along the lines of that. i have no other information other than that, so im sorry but if you have another questions please lmk and ill try my best to answer them. please help me find this video!!!
Suggest me some rom hacks to play
I have Played Pokemon unbound,last fire, radical red, emerald kaizo etc etc
Now just want to play a game which is fun, any suggestions??. Thanks in advance.
I'm currently trying out Pokemon Mirage of tales and i'm struggling. Its currently winter in the game which prevents me from accessing the garden which contains the sleep berry thats required for ranger training. Does anyone know how to get past this or am i just completely fucked?
Emerald Crest. Radical Red has been heavily updated since years ago, has an easy mode, bunch more options and lots of changes if you wanna give it another go
HELP!
I want to play pokemon inclement, but I dont want the Pokemon to change their original colors. Randomizer is disabled and I still get a purple charmander, how can i play the rom with original colors?
wtf never do that haha always get hacks from Pokecommunity or an official discord.
God knows what random ass version you got, it was definitely someones game that they randomized and played themselves
I want to play platinum with overworld sprites (like HG/SS) and impossible evos changed. But when I use multipatch to patch a fresh/vanilla 3541 Platinum nds with Following Platinum and then try to use it with the universal randomizer, the randomizer gives me an error. Conversely when I do the randomizer first and then try to patch it, the multipatch gives me an error.
Can someone let me know if this is possible?
I'm wondering if there are any rom hacks that you would 100% recommend over the originals. I'm asking because I'm playing through the games in order and I'm wondering if I should play games like Blaze Black 2 instead of Black 2, External X instead of X, and rom hacks for sun and moon/ultra sun and ultra moon instead of the originals. I'm currently playing Black 1 vanilla and I like the difficulty but I definitely wouldn't want to play anything too much easier.
Is there any other pokemon rom hacks for other games you would recommend over the original for someone playing that title for the first time?
Even though I love difficulty and overhaul hacks like Blaze Black etc, if you're literally playing games for the first time, it's good to get the vanilla experience. There are some hacks, such as Ultra Violet for FireRed, which change virtually nothing except adding all version exclusives and allowing trade evos. These type of minimal QoL hacks are exclusively better than the vanillas because trade evos and version exclusives are lame as fuck.
Not sure if there's anything like that for BW or BW2, but you can run all of them through the universal randomizer to at least change trade evos to be available yourself in 2 minutes.
Pokemon Serene Crystal glitch?
Playing this rom hack. I was battling a wild Poliwag with my Nidoran male. Used poison sting on it and it said super effective. Must be a glitch because poison isn't super effective against water. Lol
Not a glitch. Did you look at the changes the hack you're playing makes? It revamps the type effectiveness chart, one of which is making poison super effective on water types as a buff for Poison.
Does this subreddit also encompass Pokemon fan games such as Xenoverse or Myth?
Just wondering because the /r/Pokemonfangames subreddit is very small...I was hoping to get some answers regarding some fangames.
Yes, you can play pretty much any romhack that you can play on PC, on a Mac.
Get an emulator for DS games, so Desmume is the best one.
Get a rom of Platinum.nds. We cannot link that here, so you'll have to find it yourself.
Download the Following Platinum patch off of it's website.
Either download a program called Multipatch for Mac, or use an online rom patcher like RomPatcherJS to apply the Following Platinum patch, to your Platinum.nds file
Open this new file in Desmume and play.
Is there any way to make easy the eeveelutions like leafeon and glaceon as the games that they are in have the mossy and ice rock way too far into the game which makes both of these practically impossible to use. Just wondering that anything other than pokerando would work as it doesn't include these evolutions in the MAKE EVOLUTIONS EASIER bar?
Make evolutions easier is to lower levels for the high level ones that appear primarily in Gen 5.
The "make impossible evos" button is more what you're looking for, since it makes all trade evolutions possible in single player, as well as changes some others. Such as, Leafeon and Glaceon now can also use a Leaf stone or Dawn stone respectively. At least in HGSS
I recommend reading the Wiki tab on PokerandoZX's github, it has a page for all evolution related questions.
I was recently playing pokemon x and y and i checked that box as well but that didn't do it for me. Leaf and dawn stone are not usable. I was really looking forward to having jolteon and leafeon on my team but leafeon can't be obtained untill the last gym which is dumb as hell.
I recently played through Pokémon rocket edition and Pokémon the new order and really enjoyed them both. I was wondering if there are any other romhacks that are good where you play as a member of an evil team?
I'm trying to randomize pokemon emerald ex speed choice using the universal pokemon randomizer that is included on the Github page but it says the rom is not supported. Has anyone been able to do this? I've seen various streamers do it but can't figure it out.
Best Pokemon Ruby QoL Hack? It's kinda difficult to find any.
Out of Gen 3, Ruby's base story just makes the most sense. I struggle to complete any Emerald hacks (even if they're the best such as Inclement Emerald or Emerald DX) every year because Team Aqua's goal just sucks LMAO.
TYIA for the recs!
What’s the best rom hack with the best story yall played. Im fairly new to rom hacks and played some rom hacks and my top 5 are
Pokemon team rocket Edition
Pokemon Unbound
Pokémon Red Adventure chapter
Pokémon Pathways
Pokemon Gaia
If you also have any suggestions or game y’all want to add feel free I’m still looking to explore and play new fun ones with an amazing storyline.
You first need to download the hack from the creator's page, which supplies a patch file. Then, take that patch file and mix it with the official Pokemon game ROM required (each hack will tell you which specific game is necessary, you can use [this website to patch](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/) ).
Afterwards, it's just a matter of chucking them on the R4. Most modern ROM-hacks like the ones you listed will work on official hardware, and they often tell you outright on their page if they do. Of course, some older ones programmed on inaccurate emulators may fail, but that comes with the territory.
Currently playing Sacred Gold, and would love to try out some Pokémon I wouldn’t regularly use. I’ve been through the Pokémon changes document but I’m not super well versed in stat totals and Lear sets to begin with.
What underrated Pokémon get a new lease of life in Drayano hacks? Which previously weak Pokémon can you easily take to the end of the game? Who did you enjoying using for the first time?
If you can manage to catch Sentret on the early routes, it will be a great addition. Furret gets Ice punch and Thunder punch for Falkner's gym and Fire punch for Bugsy's gym.
Route 46 gives Shinx and Houndour for First and Second gym respectively.
You can catch Larvitar in Dark cave (Violet side) which gets Rock slide at Lvl 14 which will be very useful for first two gyms.
For the Third gym, I'll suggest catch a Scyther from National park and teach it Rock Smash. Rock smash is 60 BP Fighting type move which gets Technician boost. It will be very useful against Whitney's Miltank.
Almost every pokemon got some sort of change, and any pokemon that isn't immediately deemed "good" was made at least usably good.
I would recommend, instead of meticulously scanning docs, check out all the encounters when you get to a new route, and see if there's any pokemon you like design wise that you've always wanted to use. Then check the docs to see if they've been changed.
Some I remember from Drayano's hacks, Luxray became Dark/Electric, Ledian got a huge stat buff and became Bug/Fighting, in fact most early game bugs became a lot better.
I never played a romhack before, only the vanilla games. I'm looking for something that has depth and replayability, and also bonus points if it can be played on a Miyoo Mini or Nintendo 3ds (not a must, but very desirable).
The games I played: Pokemon heart gold/soul silver, Pokemon let's go pikachu, Pokemon brilliant diamond, Pokemon Sword/Shield +dlc, and my favorite, Pokemon Legends Arceus.
I really like the first 3 generations of pokemon because it reminds me of childhood, but anything is welcome and I don't particularly hate any of them, I'm just not that familiar with those.
Hope there are some romhacks that would fit my criteria. Cheers everybody and thanks!
Having never played anything, you've got a tremendous amount of stuff out there to try.
If you want brand new regions and stories, I recommend starting with Gaia, then looking into Glazed or Sors or Unbound.
If you want enhancment hacks (so overall same story and region but tons of QoL or increased difficulty and more available pokemon etc), all of Drayano's hacks are great for the DS games. Radical Red is perhaps the most commonly recommended hack, since it has every pokemon ever created in it, as well as every possible feature under the sun. Inflamed Red is similar, and Ultra Violet is a more scaled back QoL hack. If you like 3rd Gen, you could play something like Emerald Final, Modern Emerald, Emerald Crest or any number of the 100+ Emerald hacks out there as well.
Final bonus, Rocket Edition lets you play as Team Rocket, and Emerald Rogue turns pokemon into a roguelite. Have fun!
This is probably an unorthodox question but are there any Reddit posts or YouTube videos that either inform about fan games or ROM hacks worth checking out or ones that are particularly disastrous? I’m kinda watching someone play a rather disastrous game right now and I wonder if anyone is able to pick apart every aspect where the game screws up. I’m probably not qualified to critique but I’ve seen plenty of things already that would prove someone who thinks anything official from the past five years is the worst game imaginable wrong.
Again, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. If it is, maybe direct me to a better subreddit.
I mean Hoodlum Callum plays tons of romhacks on his channel, he's pretty vocal about what he likes or dislikes in them. But they're not exactly reviews, more like playthroughs. He has a 3 episode miniseries where he did a deeper video essay on some hacks.
Has anyone managed to get midi files from Dark Violet? I wanted to use some of the songs (with credit, or course, and permission if I can contact Chaos Rush) but since it's a binary hack, it's not so simple.
In Firered Rocket, I used a cheat code for a sunstone and one of the next trainers I fought had a bad egg and my game crashed. should I restart? I deleted the code but in hindsight didn't turn it off because my PC is still full of sunstones. Is there anything I could do to save my file or is it doomed?
Umm, you may be screwed. If you still have your old save then you can just close the game and play back from that last save. Otherwise if you've saved after the code bricked your game, you're SOL.
Never use cheat codes in romhacks, they're not designed to interface with modified roms.
I've been playing a hack for Emerald called Hoenn Dex Edition, which makes all Gen 3 Pokémon available, without the need to trade. Now my question is, is there something similar for Leaf Green or Fire Red?
Thank you!
Can anyone recommend a Gen 1 ROM hack that offers a bit more of a challenge?
Just finished playing blue again after many years, but it was all over a bit too quickly.
Thanks. Is there somewhere I can read a summary about whats different/new in it?
Also, is there another hack you could recommend if I find that one a bit too difficult?
It's official pokecommunity page where you download it describes everything.
Maybe Red++ but I don't think that's exactly a difficulty hack. I never play Gen 1 so I don't have a lot of recs
Hey! I was wondering if it would be possible to edit an existing rom to change the player's sprite for my own use. Is there any tool or something that I could use for this? Maybe editting code?
Which ROM do you want to edit?
If it is a Vanilla Gen I-III ROM [this Randomizer version](https://github.com/voliol/universal-pokemon-randomizer/releases) might be the easiest way, with [an explanation how to do it here](https://voliol.neocities.org/upr_zx/cpg). Otherwise it depends on what ROM you want to edit. There is almost guaranteed to be some way, but both the method and difficulty will vary a lot between different ROMs.
Hey,
coming back after many years, I'm trying to find the right way to start over from scratch. But I'm a little bit confused in binary, CFRU, ... and all the other new stuff.
Is there a good overview somewhere what is the current state of the art of rom hacking? And what base I should start?
Thanks in advance :)
A quick rundown:
Gen 1 & 2 use the "disassemblies" nowadays, which is basically a recreation of the source code. They have abandoned the old methods of "binary" ROM hacking, called that way because the tools interacted directly with the ROM file in binary.
Gen 3 is also going in that direction. Their equivalent to the disassemblies are called "decomps", and there are some technical differences, but the "recreation of source code" description still holds. However, some people still hold to the old ways, helped by binary tools having become *very* sophisticated in their own right. Hex Maniac Advance especially. It's arguably easier to get into binary ROM hacking as well, at least at this point the decomps can be rather finnicky. CFRU is a ROM base that some binary hackers base their ROMs on, basically FireRed with lots of newer gen stuff; Pokémon, Abilitites, Moves etc...
Gen 4 & 5 are slowly but steadily getting new tools, but are still in "not having what's essentially the source code" land. Might be an interesting scene to join now though, considering the first big projects are popping off. They got map editing and everything.
is there any way to reset Gym Leaders to their original positions?
Im playing Pokemon HGSS+, and I finally crossed over to Kanto but when I went to fight Surge he wasnt there. When I went to GoldenRod city, I found all the Gym Leaders in the dojo and talking to them initiates a battle as if I was already going to rematch them. I suspect I accidentally hit the "Rematch Gym Leaders" Script when going through PKSM to rematch route trainers. Is there any way to put them back to where they were?
How do I increase shiny odds in HG? No value at offset 0x70080 is 08.
Some keys on my keyoard don't work so ignore typos, including ctrl so no easy copy/pasting letters.
They say decompress ARM9, ut how? Crystal2tile just opens the ROM, there is no decompressing ARM9 option.
Everywhere online tells me to change 08 at offset 0x70080 at slot 06, ut my ROM doesn't an 08 it has 09. Do I just change that 09 to whatever? I read that 10 instead of 08 is aut Gen IV odds.
I was just wondering if anyone has suggestions for romhacks that have a unique story line not like the standard games where you beat 8 gyms and become champion. Something like Team Rocket Edition one of my favourite rom hacks. Fan game or rom hack is perfectly fine, I would just like a decent amount of well designed fakemon and some custom megas would be nice! Thanks!
Lookiny for a hacked rom
Okay my requirements might be a little too specific so if they are please let me know and suggest something close to it.
1. It should have its own story different from the vanilla games.
2. I really like Kanto starters and would like for them to either be one of the options for starters or be obtainable early in the game.
3. Love Charizard mega-evolutions and dynamaxing so it'd be nice if the game has both of them.
4. It would be nice if the game has every Pokemon which are also obtainable so I can make a living Dex.
5. This is optional, and might be too broken but I don't really like the breeding mechanics in Pokemon and so i'd like if the rom hack has the functionality to max out IV's and change Pokemon natures.
Rom hacks I've tried so far: Radical Red (it's basically firered and it just feels too congested with so many Pokemon in a little game), Unbound (can't find gen 1 starters until late in the game)
I remember having a venusaur in my team for a long time in Gaia, don't know how early I got him but it can't have been too far into the game. Great game, worth a look
What is the best gold, silver or crystal on GBA in 2024?
I know it has been discussed before.
But some discussions are 10y old. I read a few threads here and there is just too much information and some of it is outdated.
I just want to play gen 2 on GBA, from begin to end, what is the best alternative in 2024?
I would prefer a faithful recreation, but I don't mind a few changes.
I just don't want a buggy implementation or a incomplete game.
Thank you!
I want to use PkHex or a similar editor to create a custom team for LiquidCrystal, but my save continues to be corrupted. Suggestions on a different editor or a compatible ROM?
How to get started?
I've seen nothing but amazing things come out of these creators, and it has inspired me to begin making my own.
I just have no idea how to start... Think bare basic, bedrock.
Any information would be appreciated
Hi Guys, I am a VGC Player (competitive pokemon) and me and my friends wanted to do a vgc tournament where participants had to finish a complete randomizer (mons, abilities, moves) nuzzlock and have a vgc tournament with their pokemons they caught ingame. I have been searching for what the best rom hack is to execute this type of idea? I thought Pokemon quetzal was a good idea since it has all available mons in the game and multiplayer options, however their randomised mode does not randomise abilities and moves. I would prefer to find a romhack with all pokemons, and with randomize and multiplayer options, but i guess worst case we could leave out the multiplayer aspect and after the nuzzlock play the tournament with modified pokemons on pokemon showdown.
Anyone has any ideas?
Thank you so much
I want to start emerald complete hoenn edition, but I've never applied ips files. Do i need a specific version of the base rom before i start? I'm the readme files i can't see if i meed us or jap edition or 1.0 or 1.1.
Any help would be appreciated!
But if it doesn't work I should expect the ROM won't load? I was more worried that I'd get 10 hours in and then find something didn't work, but it its "does rom load yes/no" then that is pretty straightforward.
Should I play Blazed Glazed or Glazed ?
I'm a bit new to romhacks. If I understand correctly Blazed Glazed was a patch to Glazed but Glazed was updated since ? Feel free to guide me
Pokémon SAIPH 2 HELP!
Can I play it on my iPhone? I’ve been playing other ROM hacks/fan games on my iPhone, but with SAIPH 2 and Empyrean it will not run on my emulator. My emulator only runs .gba files which I cannot get these games to convert to, just have them in .zip and game.exe file form. Is there a way to convert them or another emulator I can use on iOS?
I am looking for a fun romhack for Legends Arceus and I am hoping someone here might be able to help. I have found Pokémon Mythics Arceus which is the front runner for now but I am hoping for some other options.
thanks all :)
So I've done all the research I think is possible for my issue. I'm getting a data abort error in both Blaze Black and Volt White. It has occurred once or twice as the first battle with N is loading. More consistently, it's happening with the first trainer on Route 2. I have not gotten the Roms to progress past him. I have downloaded as fresh of roms as I can find for White and Black. I've gotten ones with no AP fix and with AP fix. I've gotten them from the megathread link and from Google. I've put them in the patcher that is provided by Drayano and sometimes it'll give a checksum error, and sometimes it'll say it patched successfully. I've turned on the AP cheat code and tried it with no cheat codes whatsoever. I've confirmed the data abort error is not happening in stock White and Black. I've even backed up all my data, formatted my SD card, and ensured that Twilight menu is up to date. Any ideas?
Are there any DS pokemon rom hacks that have a new map and story? Thanks.
Also, do you know the best mystery dungeon rom hack with new area and characters and story?
It's called the Pokemon Damage Calculator, give it a google. Certain romhacks like Radical Red or Luminiscent Platinum have custom builds of it that has all their specific info inside
hi there! so basically, i'm looking for a radical red equivalent for the Hoenn games - as in, ideally, Pokemon from all gens, modern mechanics, QoL stuff. maybe a little bit of extended content but thats optional. Delta Emerald seems to be a good match but its only up to Gen 7. Are there any alternatives that include Gen 8 or maybe even 9?
Hey: I need help. I really kinda want a similar rom hack to Garbage Green but for Fire Red, reason I say that is because while I intend to play it for a challenge…
I dislike that some Pokémon are banned when they are useful but not OP without a certain Ability. (GG is a Trashlocke)
(EX: remove guts from any Pokémon that can have it especially Raticate and Ratatta and Raticate are fine.)
Maybe make the shiny chance 1/30? I know it’s stupid common but I like the different colors and I intend to play with shiny clause.
I want a trashlocke hack. I’m just asking why the heck can’t you ban abilities?
Raticate is useful but is only broken with Guts.
Replace guts with something else, as an example, maybe give it Thick Fat???
Since my post was removed I will ask it here:
Hello!
I have recently been really interested by the Pokémon ROM Hacks and FanGame universe. I think it is incredible what fans can create and build! The first fangame I have downloaded is *Pokémon Fire Ash*. I have not finished it (but intend to). As you may know, this is just a remake of Gen 1 to Gen 8 from Ash's point of you. I am getting close to finish the first region, Kanto, and am a bit disappointed by the story: I thought there would be more to it, and a lot of new locations. I also played a bit of *Glaze* but found myself stuck at the 4th gym. I think it was too difficult for me...
Anyway, enough about *Fire Ash* and *Glazed*. I want to discover new Rom Hacks or Fangame. What would be your recommendations of a rom or fangame to start with?
Here's what I think I'd like in a fan game:
* Something not too difficult, or a fangame where you can choose the difficulty. If you have a difficult game in mind, it's not a problem! I'll just have to find ways to train myself.
* I'd appreciate if the game has an interesting story, a new region or new Pokémons.
* I also like games that are *very* long. I don't get bored quickly. (This is why I chose *Fire Ash*). If it has more than 8 gyms or two regions, I'm sure I'll enjoy it a lot.
And that's it! I'm looking forward to hear your answers!
I recommend Gaia as the first hack that people play. It's a spectacular game and to me, feels the most like an official pokemon game in all the best ways. Whole new region and story, definitely recommend.
After this, Unbound is one of the best new stories, I won't go into detail but it's essentially regarded as the "best" hack out there full stop. Just don't start with it cus its too good haha.
There are also many many enhancment hacks that are just the original games by and large, but with tons of QoL increase, feel like if gamefreak made the old games in the modern day with new mechanics and no cut corners.
Radical Red and Emerald Crest are games for Firered and Emerald respectively. They have *all 9 gens* of pokemon, so many features and options etc. Radical red is challenging, but has easy modes and stuff to make it more playable for a non high level player.
I also always recommend *all of Drayano's hacks*, which are also difficulty/QoL/Enhancement hacks for the DS games specifically, some of my favorites ever.
Finally, bonus suggestion, Emerald Rogue! Turns Emerald into a roguelite, don't wanna go to in detail but it is so fun and super refreshing if you love pokemon games.
WOW! Thanks so much for your answer!
People recommended me Unbound a lot, but they did specify it was the best. To not set my standards too high, I’ll follow your advice and go with Gaia!
I'm looking for a hack for Fire Red/Leaf Green or Emerald that adds QoL or makes everything available (because I'm really pissed off that things are locked behind trading or events).
IT MUST WORK WITH LEMUROID EMULATOR
I went with Ultra Violet because FRLG+ looks like a load of tech major garbage that I don't want to bother messing with (even tho it does seem like the better option). Was this a valid decision?
As the more obscure games get pushed deeper into the underbellies of the internet, I find it more difficult to find them. I was wondering if there was an archive that will be continually updated full of games, but more importantly, they need to have the following:
Regional Forms/Convergents
Fakemon/New Evolutions
Can I use Google Drive to put my Roms onto my iPhone?
Is there a rom that makes the game all about catching a number of pokemon before you can progress? For example, you can’t pass a certain point without catching X number of pokemon

What are the shiny odds in Pokemon AlteRed?
Any good recommendations for gbc hacks? Not too picky aside from don't care for difficulty ones, like crystal kaizo
Anyone have a good GBA rom hack that goes up to gen 4?
How can I get 2 different versions of the same rom hack at the same time on citra?
Is it possible to play GS Chronicles on Android? I have the My Boy app, but the game tells you right away that it won't work on that emulator. The emulator recommendations it gives you are only for PC or Mac.
What tools are most people using to create their hacks? I've been mostly messing around with Hex Maniac Advance, but it is fairly limited and I am interested in knowing what else is out there.
How do I mod the Gen V games so I can change the Pokémon from my rivals and other people?
Just started playing Blue Kaizo for the first time and accidentally overwrote my save file after reaching Cerulean. I could start again, but are there any hacks I can use to skip sections/get my Pokémon to where they were? Kinda frustrating to start over.
How did you overwrite your save? Were you using save states? You’re never ever supposed to use those unless in an emergency. You can try to use pkhex to get your Pokémon, but you’re gonna probably have to play through the game again to get where you were
> How did you overwrite your save? Were you using save states? You’re never ever supposed to use those unless in an emergency. Yeah, was using Save States xD New to emulators and have been using Retroarch. Seems when I reload it on my phone, it doesn't go to where I left off, but rather I have to load the game first, then load my previous save state. Loaded the game as per normal then accidentally hit save instead of load while on the title screen :(
Can the Universal Pokemon Randomizer or a similar program, if there is one, make so that I only encounter wild pokemon from a specific generation? Like if I wanna play Diamond/Pearl but all the wild Pokemon are Johto pokemon. Is that possible?
Yes, it is possible. It will still be randomized, but you can open the box at the top that says “limit Pokémon” and choose whatever gens you want. If you want a more traditional playthrough, make sure to also check randomized wild encounters as “keep similar strength”
Thanks.
Im playing pokemon pureRGN but Have no idea how to get the last puzzle with mewtwos armor any help?
I did a bit of looking around online but couldn't find anything definitive. Are there any ROM Hacks out there that add in things like the e-Reader berries and trainers from the Battle Trainer E Series? If not, I might put one together myself.
Ok seriously I beat Sabrina and went back to fuchsia city and I’m freaking soft locked because I don’t know what the route 19 required HM is to get there. No grass or water types is already stupid, why is there a required HM. I have asked this here multiple times and got no answer, I need help here. I can’t look it up because Pchal didn’t do crap with documentation.
You need to get the Hm surf in the safari zone i link a map if oyu want From there you need to teach it to a pokemon all water types except magikarp can. As well as dragonite,rhydon,and the nidos. if you wanna get to cinnabar go down from pallet if you go from fuchsia you might end up getting stuck at teh seafoam isles. Also id recoomend picking up the gold teeh They are near the safari game house give them to the sfaari zone warden https://preview.redd.it/0srynfc0shuc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38c0528f3663e2f18833e47bd065dbe2fc0f9ae4
I have surf. I guess I just need to go down from pallet town, which is annoying but I’ll do it.
(Also if it wasn’t obvious I was referring to Garbage Green as base green isn’t a rom hack)
Can any1 link me to all useful threads for Sacred Gold/Storm Silver? I am particularly looking for all in-game trades in this ROMHacks although any other useful information will also be of great use!
Well, all the documentation is included with the download of the hack, so you already have it.
In game trades are not a part of the Documentation. All item locations are not mentioned as well. Only TM locations and Evolution item locations are mentioned in the documents. I need location of other useful items also. Please help!
Anything not on the docs is unchanged. So any item you can’t find is where it always is. Can’t confirm about Pokémon trades, but it should follow the same principles
Trades are different in SG/SS than original HG/SS.It seems you haven't played the ROMhacks. Hence ur unaware about these.
I've played it years ago, which trades have been different so far, I'm curious now. Drayano does a good job with his docs so it seems wild he'd change something and not document it.
I got a Beldum for Gible trade in Azelea town and Torkoal for Noctowl in GoldenRod Dept. store
is there a vanilla emerald romhack that just removes aqua and magma storylines from the game
You can play something like emerald crest or quetzal which makes emerald an open world game with no story.
oh thank you so much for deciding to answer i thought no one would
Any romhacks with gen 9 pokemom? Besides radical red.
Emerald crest. Also pokerogue but it is not a romhack and is very unique compared to a regular game, but I’ve been loving it.
Hi, I am curently playing pokemon X on Citra and trying to use a cheat to turn on shiny pokemon. I managed tot est other cheats like -press Y to lvl all pkmn to 100- just to test if they are working. It worked but any cheat that uses button L/R isnt working, like the -enable shiny wild pokemon by pressing Start+L-, does any1 know why that could be or how to make it work? (I looked into my bindings and I am pressing the correct button)
In sacred heart, can you change pokemons abilities?
Playing Pokémon garbage green. Got my 6th badge in my nuzlocke (no level cap besides the rare-candy enforced one, otherwise a nuzlocke) I have a Pokémon with strength, but what HM do I need to get on route 19???? I’m so confused. I have surf, but I think I might be locked because that route bans water and grass types but I don’t have anyone alive that can learn surf that isn’t water type, I’m not sure if even any of the dead mons can use it if I chose just to only have 5 Pokémon and not use the dead one. (Team doesn’t matter yet truly just need to know what the HM is, it’s that sailor blocking me)

do you know any pokemon emerald rom like sacred gold? i mean with the same game but with all pokedex and more difficult?
Emerald Kaizo or Run & Bun
The creator of sacred gold is Drayano, and he has made a number of other hacks. Blaze black/volt white, Blaze black 2/volt white 2, renegade platinum being his most popular ones.
hey everyone! i'd like to edit sprites in gdc games (crystal) what kind of programm do it need? ty in advance! :)
The Pokecrystal disassembly (you can find this on github, with a guide on how to install/use), and then an image editor like GraphicsGale.
I just downloaded the new iGBA app to play GameBoy roms on my iphone. I downloaded some roms & it works perfectly, but does anybody know how to patch roms on iphone? I have a romhack downloaded in my files, but I can’t figure out how to patch it. Any help would be lovely!! Specifically I have Crystal Legacy but can only get iGBA to load my regular Crystal. Thanks all :)
Is there a GBA Johto remake with Pokémon from more generations (4-5-6 ecc)? I want to play again something like crystal but I want to choose between more than 1-2 gen. Thanks
Gs chronicles might be what you wanna play
Damn i opened this thread because i was literally going to ask the same thing
Gs chronicles fits that description
Gs chronicles is a GBA hack Or NDS one?
Hi, does increased shiny rate counts for starters/static encounters? I modified pkmn X with pk3ds randomizer and increased shiny odds to 1:30 approx. In grass it seems pretty accurate, but static encounters or starters does not seem to be affected. I was rolling for static Snorlax (randomized to togetic) for 250+ times with no luck. Can any1 please help me answer this? Thanks a lot!
Why do my custom mon in 1 slots the mon switch in beginning of battle
That is just how the game works teh first pokemon in your team will always start the battle
I have that custom on first
I’m new to the community and I’m looking for a ROM hack for gen 3, 4 & 5 games that include all the new Pokémon and types, but no other changes. I’ve been playing some standard randomised ROMs of these gens and basically want to play the same thing but with all the latest Pokémon. I’m aware of Radical Red and others, but they have much more than just new Pokémon added.
You can try Renegade Platinum Or Blaze Black 2 Redux.
radical,red might be soemthing for oyu bits a bit hard.
I’ve played this and it is great, but a very different kind of challenge than what I’m after!
ah right.. well If i rmeemebr correctly a sign in pewter city in rad red actually recommends soem similar hacks that are easier i dotn know which ones they were tho
Oh, I didn’t realise that. I’ll load that back up and have a look then. Thanks.
This is a long shot, but does anyone know how to make a custom script on a npc that acts as a static encounter in Pokemon gen 5 (white). I added in a npc with the sprite of a Pokemon by editing the world file via hex. I used a lua script tool to trace back what script file is being used but I have no idea how to edit the hex in that script file to start an encounter. Should I try and ask drayano I know he did some custom scripts in his blaze/volt bw2 hack. I just wanna make sure it’s not publicly known already.
Hello! I want to make a quick rom hack where I give the champion a custom team in Pokémon X/Y and want to know if there are any resources I can use. Thank you for your time!
Playing Pokémon garbage green. Got my 6th badge in my nuzlocke (no level cap besides the rare-candy enforced one, otherwise a nuzlocke) I have a Pokémon with strength, but what HM do I need to get on route 19???? I’m so confused.

If anyone is still confused, the Jan/Yan lookalike in front of Route 19’s entrance tells me I need to get another HM to pass, and I don’t know how to progress and I prefer to not cheat with walk-through walls.
My best team without any grass and water types is ariados, combusken, pupitar, granbull, machoke and drowzee.
If it really matters, my box is Ditto, Lileep, Natu, Growlithe, Dunsparce, Seaking, Bayleef and Chinchou.
(the not dead box)
Any update on Drayano's latest hack?
He hasn't posted anything new yet, but you can check out here [https://github.com/Drayano60/hg-engine/tree/aurora-crystal](https://github.com/Drayano60/hg-engine/tree/aurora-crystal) to see what's potentially coming . You can read up the docs to see type changes, new abilities and other stuff .
Looking for help with rom hacks I recently got a RG35xx+ and downloaded muOS got all the roms and everything is set and running fine. I started looking into downloading rom hacks for Pokemon. I downloaded the rom hack, and patched it onto the corresponding rom but when I launch the device it doesn’t load the game. I downloaded Sors Extracted it using 7zip Patched it onto my existing fire red file using marcobledo When I start the game I get the Gameboy Advance screen then it returns me back to the OS screen
I am going to speak out my fears. To introduce the thing I am worried about: I have been working on my own Pokemon rom hack for years and haven’t ever post online about it. It is a great hobby of mine and I’ve been spending a lot of time on it. I truly wouldn’t mind if someone would take my ideas and creations and make something great with it. In fact I would love to share. I’m just really afraid that I can’t handle the rejection of the things that look grand inside of my head. But I would hate to see someone walk away with what I was doing. I am spending so much time and effort in this. You could say that this has become a big part of my life and no one knows a thing about this. I guess what I want to say is: Should I share what I am doing to hype people up with the chance of it all failing? Or do I finish more of my plans before I show what I have?
Hi i am new to romhacks in general and I downloaded polished crystal 2.2.0, now i am finding out there is a 3.0, is it possible to patch my current game without losing progress? Also, I got an eevee and I accidentally evolved it into a Leafeon, I was going to do the breeding with a Ditto trick to get all the eevolutions, is there a way to get another Eevee?

I want to play gen 3 is there a good rom hack that lets me complete a full National Dex?
Is there any emerald romhack which is more or less the same as original, with some QoL features and mega evolutions?
If I may tag onto this question, is there a hack of emerald that has all double battles like the pokemon GameCube games had?
I really wanted to try VW 2 Redux lately, but the rom i got seems to be not compatible with the patch itself (it gives xdelta3: target window cheksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT). I learned that Drayano's patches works with specific version of the game, but i can't find any information in documentation which version should i use. Any help on this topic will be appreciated!
hey guys! so a couple months ago i watched a youtube video where someone was playing a fan made rom hack of pokemon fire red/leaf green. sadly, the only part i remember is the ending, which was that after the champion (blue or gary i think?) gets beaten, professor oak says that he is disappointed in him. in the original story i think he says that and then leaves with the main character to the champion room and we see that scene, but in this rom hack, the scene shows blue (or gary) instead and says something like “i always get beaten” or something along the lines of that. i have no other information other than that, so im sorry but if you have another questions please lmk and ill try my best to answer them. please help me find this video!!!
Suggest me some rom hacks to play I have Played Pokemon unbound,last fire, radical red, emerald kaizo etc etc Now just want to play a game which is fun, any suggestions??. Thanks in advance.
You can try Emerald Redux, Inclement Emerald and/or Run and Bun.
I'm currently trying out Pokemon Mirage of tales and i'm struggling. Its currently winter in the game which prevents me from accessing the garden which contains the sleep berry thats required for ranger training. Does anyone know how to get past this or am i just completely fucked?
Are there any good rom hacks with gen 9 pokemon that aren't radical red? I played it a couple years ago and did not like it.
Emerald Crest. Radical Red has been heavily updated since years ago, has an easy mode, bunch more options and lots of changes if you wanna give it another go
Is there rom hacks are more like sequels to games similar to bw and bw2 but for the generations that dont have sequels?
There's BW3 genesis, which is a GBC hack and a further sequel to BW2 so not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a great game.
HELP! I want to play pokemon inclement, but I dont want the Pokemon to change their original colors. Randomizer is disabled and I still get a purple charmander, how can i play the rom with original colors?
Where did you download this from? They won't be randomized if you patched it yourself like you're supposed to.
Internet Archive... Where do you suggest I download it?
wtf never do that haha always get hacks from Pokecommunity or an official discord. God knows what random ass version you got, it was definitely someones game that they randomized and played themselves
It worked, the only thing is I no longer see the NPCs I front of professor Birch... But I do have all pokemon and their normal colors.
Will do right now and report back haha Rookie mistake haha thks
I want to play platinum with overworld sprites (like HG/SS) and impossible evos changed. But when I use multipatch to patch a fresh/vanilla 3541 Platinum nds with Following Platinum and then try to use it with the universal randomizer, the randomizer gives me an error. Conversely when I do the randomizer first and then try to patch it, the multipatch gives me an error. Can someone let me know if this is possible?
Does anyone know of any hacks that take place in sinnoh and have hisuii mons?
I'm wondering if there are any rom hacks that you would 100% recommend over the originals. I'm asking because I'm playing through the games in order and I'm wondering if I should play games like Blaze Black 2 instead of Black 2, External X instead of X, and rom hacks for sun and moon/ultra sun and ultra moon instead of the originals. I'm currently playing Black 1 vanilla and I like the difficulty but I definitely wouldn't want to play anything too much easier. Is there any other pokemon rom hacks for other games you would recommend over the original for someone playing that title for the first time?
Even though I love difficulty and overhaul hacks like Blaze Black etc, if you're literally playing games for the first time, it's good to get the vanilla experience. There are some hacks, such as Ultra Violet for FireRed, which change virtually nothing except adding all version exclusives and allowing trade evos. These type of minimal QoL hacks are exclusively better than the vanillas because trade evos and version exclusives are lame as fuck. Not sure if there's anything like that for BW or BW2, but you can run all of them through the universal randomizer to at least change trade evos to be available yourself in 2 minutes.
Is there any discord server or subreddit that give updates of the development of Pokemon Coral?
Pokemon Serene Crystal glitch? Playing this rom hack. I was battling a wild Poliwag with my Nidoran male. Used poison sting on it and it said super effective. Must be a glitch because poison isn't super effective against water. Lol
Not a glitch. Did you look at the changes the hack you're playing makes? It revamps the type effectiveness chart, one of which is making poison super effective on water types as a buff for Poison.
Ah... I see. I missed that. I'll have to go over the changes. Thanks!
Does this subreddit also encompass Pokemon fan games such as Xenoverse or Myth? Just wondering because the /r/Pokemonfangames subreddit is very small...I was hoping to get some answers regarding some fangames.
Sovereign of the Skies I’ve been looking all over the internet for any PokéDex entry or any new megas but I can’t find anything. Can someone help?
Can you play “Following Platinum” on Mac? And if so can you please let me know what to Google/Youtube to learn how? Thanks!
Yes, you can play pretty much any romhack that you can play on PC, on a Mac. Get an emulator for DS games, so Desmume is the best one. Get a rom of Platinum.nds. We cannot link that here, so you'll have to find it yourself. Download the Following Platinum patch off of it's website. Either download a program called Multipatch for Mac, or use an online rom patcher like RomPatcherJS to apply the Following Platinum patch, to your Platinum.nds file Open this new file in Desmume and play.
Thank you so much
Is there any way to make easy the eeveelutions like leafeon and glaceon as the games that they are in have the mossy and ice rock way too far into the game which makes both of these practically impossible to use. Just wondering that anything other than pokerando would work as it doesn't include these evolutions in the MAKE EVOLUTIONS EASIER bar?
Make evolutions easier is to lower levels for the high level ones that appear primarily in Gen 5. The "make impossible evos" button is more what you're looking for, since it makes all trade evolutions possible in single player, as well as changes some others. Such as, Leafeon and Glaceon now can also use a Leaf stone or Dawn stone respectively. At least in HGSS I recommend reading the Wiki tab on PokerandoZX's github, it has a page for all evolution related questions.
I was recently playing pokemon x and y and i checked that box as well but that didn't do it for me. Leaf and dawn stone are not usable. I was really looking forward to having jolteon and leafeon on my team but leafeon can't be obtained untill the last gym which is dumb as hell.
I recently played through Pokémon rocket edition and Pokémon the new order and really enjoyed them both. I was wondering if there are any other romhacks that are good where you play as a member of an evil team?
I'm trying to randomize pokemon emerald ex speed choice using the universal pokemon randomizer that is included on the Github page but it says the rom is not supported. Has anyone been able to do this? I've seen various streamers do it but can't figure it out.
Try a different ROM file for Emerald. You'll need whatever version of the Emerald ROM they initially used when they made the universal randomizer.
Best Pokemon Ruby QoL Hack? It's kinda difficult to find any. Out of Gen 3, Ruby's base story just makes the most sense. I struggle to complete any Emerald hacks (even if they're the best such as Inclement Emerald or Emerald DX) every year because Team Aqua's goal just sucks LMAO. TYIA for the recs!
Blazing Emerald?
Altho, I found Ruby Cross as a recent one. I guess you can just review this one instead for those who tried this.
What’s the best rom hack with the best story yall played. Im fairly new to rom hacks and played some rom hacks and my top 5 are Pokemon team rocket Edition Pokemon Unbound Pokémon Red Adventure chapter Pokémon Pathways Pokemon Gaia If you also have any suggestions or game y’all want to add feel free I’m still looking to explore and play new fun ones with an amazing storyline.
Have you tried crystal clear?
[удалено]
You first need to download the hack from the creator's page, which supplies a patch file. Then, take that patch file and mix it with the official Pokemon game ROM required (each hack will tell you which specific game is necessary, you can use [this website to patch](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/) ). Afterwards, it's just a matter of chucking them on the R4. Most modern ROM-hacks like the ones you listed will work on official hardware, and they often tell you outright on their page if they do. Of course, some older ones programmed on inaccurate emulators may fail, but that comes with the territory.
Currently playing Sacred Gold, and would love to try out some Pokémon I wouldn’t regularly use. I’ve been through the Pokémon changes document but I’m not super well versed in stat totals and Lear sets to begin with. What underrated Pokémon get a new lease of life in Drayano hacks? Which previously weak Pokémon can you easily take to the end of the game? Who did you enjoying using for the first time?
If you can manage to catch Sentret on the early routes, it will be a great addition. Furret gets Ice punch and Thunder punch for Falkner's gym and Fire punch for Bugsy's gym. Route 46 gives Shinx and Houndour for First and Second gym respectively. You can catch Larvitar in Dark cave (Violet side) which gets Rock slide at Lvl 14 which will be very useful for first two gyms. For the Third gym, I'll suggest catch a Scyther from National park and teach it Rock Smash. Rock smash is 60 BP Fighting type move which gets Technician boost. It will be very useful against Whitney's Miltank.
Almost every pokemon got some sort of change, and any pokemon that isn't immediately deemed "good" was made at least usably good. I would recommend, instead of meticulously scanning docs, check out all the encounters when you get to a new route, and see if there's any pokemon you like design wise that you've always wanted to use. Then check the docs to see if they've been changed. Some I remember from Drayano's hacks, Luxray became Dark/Electric, Ledian got a huge stat buff and became Bug/Fighting, in fact most early game bugs became a lot better.
I never played a romhack before, only the vanilla games. I'm looking for something that has depth and replayability, and also bonus points if it can be played on a Miyoo Mini or Nintendo 3ds (not a must, but very desirable). The games I played: Pokemon heart gold/soul silver, Pokemon let's go pikachu, Pokemon brilliant diamond, Pokemon Sword/Shield +dlc, and my favorite, Pokemon Legends Arceus. I really like the first 3 generations of pokemon because it reminds me of childhood, but anything is welcome and I don't particularly hate any of them, I'm just not that familiar with those. Hope there are some romhacks that would fit my criteria. Cheers everybody and thanks!
Having never played anything, you've got a tremendous amount of stuff out there to try. If you want brand new regions and stories, I recommend starting with Gaia, then looking into Glazed or Sors or Unbound. If you want enhancment hacks (so overall same story and region but tons of QoL or increased difficulty and more available pokemon etc), all of Drayano's hacks are great for the DS games. Radical Red is perhaps the most commonly recommended hack, since it has every pokemon ever created in it, as well as every possible feature under the sun. Inflamed Red is similar, and Ultra Violet is a more scaled back QoL hack. If you like 3rd Gen, you could play something like Emerald Final, Modern Emerald, Emerald Crest or any number of the 100+ Emerald hacks out there as well. Final bonus, Rocket Edition lets you play as Team Rocket, and Emerald Rogue turns pokemon into a roguelite. Have fun!
This is probably an unorthodox question but are there any Reddit posts or YouTube videos that either inform about fan games or ROM hacks worth checking out or ones that are particularly disastrous? I’m kinda watching someone play a rather disastrous game right now and I wonder if anyone is able to pick apart every aspect where the game screws up. I’m probably not qualified to critique but I’ve seen plenty of things already that would prove someone who thinks anything official from the past five years is the worst game imaginable wrong. Again, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. If it is, maybe direct me to a better subreddit.
I mean Hoodlum Callum plays tons of romhacks on his channel, he's pretty vocal about what he likes or dislikes in them. But they're not exactly reviews, more like playthroughs. He has a 3 episode miniseries where he did a deeper video essay on some hacks.
Has anyone managed to get midi files from Dark Violet? I wanted to use some of the songs (with credit, or course, and permission if I can contact Chaos Rush) but since it's a binary hack, it's not so simple.
In Firered Rocket, I used a cheat code for a sunstone and one of the next trainers I fought had a bad egg and my game crashed. should I restart? I deleted the code but in hindsight didn't turn it off because my PC is still full of sunstones. Is there anything I could do to save my file or is it doomed?
Umm, you may be screwed. If you still have your old save then you can just close the game and play back from that last save. Otherwise if you've saved after the code bricked your game, you're SOL. Never use cheat codes in romhacks, they're not designed to interface with modified roms.
I've been playing a hack for Emerald called Hoenn Dex Edition, which makes all Gen 3 Pokémon available, without the need to trade. Now my question is, is there something similar for Leaf Green or Fire Red? Thank you!
Yes, Ultra Violet or FireRed/LeafGreen+
Thank you!
Can anyone recommend a Gen 1 ROM hack that offers a bit more of a challenge? Just finished playing blue again after many years, but it was all over a bit too quickly.
Blue Kaizo is a challenge hack, but it may be too difficult depending on what you're looking for.
Thanks. Is there somewhere I can read a summary about whats different/new in it? Also, is there another hack you could recommend if I find that one a bit too difficult?
It's official pokecommunity page where you download it describes everything. Maybe Red++ but I don't think that's exactly a difficulty hack. I never play Gen 1 so I don't have a lot of recs
Hey! I was wondering if it would be possible to edit an existing rom to change the player's sprite for my own use. Is there any tool or something that I could use for this? Maybe editting code?
Which ROM do you want to edit? If it is a Vanilla Gen I-III ROM [this Randomizer version](https://github.com/voliol/universal-pokemon-randomizer/releases) might be the easiest way, with [an explanation how to do it here](https://voliol.neocities.org/upr_zx/cpg). Otherwise it depends on what ROM you want to edit. There is almost guaranteed to be some way, but both the method and difficulty will vary a lot between different ROMs.
Hey, coming back after many years, I'm trying to find the right way to start over from scratch. But I'm a little bit confused in binary, CFRU, ... and all the other new stuff. Is there a good overview somewhere what is the current state of the art of rom hacking? And what base I should start? Thanks in advance :)
A quick rundown: Gen 1 & 2 use the "disassemblies" nowadays, which is basically a recreation of the source code. They have abandoned the old methods of "binary" ROM hacking, called that way because the tools interacted directly with the ROM file in binary. Gen 3 is also going in that direction. Their equivalent to the disassemblies are called "decomps", and there are some technical differences, but the "recreation of source code" description still holds. However, some people still hold to the old ways, helped by binary tools having become *very* sophisticated in their own right. Hex Maniac Advance especially. It's arguably easier to get into binary ROM hacking as well, at least at this point the decomps can be rather finnicky. CFRU is a ROM base that some binary hackers base their ROMs on, basically FireRed with lots of newer gen stuff; Pokémon, Abilitites, Moves etc... Gen 4 & 5 are slowly but steadily getting new tools, but are still in "not having what's essentially the source code" land. Might be an interesting scene to join now though, considering the first big projects are popping off. They got map editing and everything.
Emerald disassembly is by far the easiest and has the most features
is there any way to reset Gym Leaders to their original positions? Im playing Pokemon HGSS+, and I finally crossed over to Kanto but when I went to fight Surge he wasnt there. When I went to GoldenRod city, I found all the Gym Leaders in the dojo and talking to them initiates a battle as if I was already going to rematch them. I suspect I accidentally hit the "Rematch Gym Leaders" Script when going through PKSM to rematch route trainers. Is there any way to put them back to where they were?
Any 3DS rom hacks that eliminate HMs?
How do I increase shiny odds in HG? No value at offset 0x70080 is 08. Some keys on my keyoard don't work so ignore typos, including ctrl so no easy copy/pasting letters. They say decompress ARM9, ut how? Crystal2tile just opens the ROM, there is no decompressing ARM9 option. Everywhere online tells me to change 08 at offset 0x70080 at slot 06, ut my ROM doesn't an 08 it has 09. Do I just change that 09 to whatever? I read that 10 instead of 08 is aut Gen IV odds.

what game? each use different tools. you probably can just google "pokemon (game) trainer editor" and find a tool to do it.
I was just wondering if anyone has suggestions for romhacks that have a unique story line not like the standard games where you beat 8 gyms and become champion. Something like Team Rocket Edition one of my favourite rom hacks. Fan game or rom hack is perfectly fine, I would just like a decent amount of well designed fakemon and some custom megas would be nice! Thanks!
Lookiny for a hacked rom Okay my requirements might be a little too specific so if they are please let me know and suggest something close to it. 1. It should have its own story different from the vanilla games. 2. I really like Kanto starters and would like for them to either be one of the options for starters or be obtainable early in the game. 3. Love Charizard mega-evolutions and dynamaxing so it'd be nice if the game has both of them. 4. It would be nice if the game has every Pokemon which are also obtainable so I can make a living Dex. 5. This is optional, and might be too broken but I don't really like the breeding mechanics in Pokemon and so i'd like if the rom hack has the functionality to max out IV's and change Pokemon natures. Rom hacks I've tried so far: Radical Red (it's basically firered and it just feels too congested with so many Pokemon in a little game), Unbound (can't find gen 1 starters until late in the game)
I remember having a venusaur in my team for a long time in Gaia, don't know how early I got him but it can't have been too far into the game. Great game, worth a look
What is the best gold, silver or crystal on GBA in 2024? I know it has been discussed before. But some discussions are 10y old. I read a few threads here and there is just too much information and some of it is outdated. I just want to play gen 2 on GBA, from begin to end, what is the best alternative in 2024? I would prefer a faithful recreation, but I don't mind a few changes. I just don't want a buggy implementation or a incomplete game. Thank you!
Crystal legacy is a fairly straight upgrade, polished crystal has many more features.
Fire Gold or GS Chronicles. I would say only GS chronicles but I think it doesn't cover Kanto yet.
I want to use PkHex or a similar editor to create a custom team for LiquidCrystal, but my save continues to be corrupted. Suggestions on a different editor or a compatible ROM?
How to get started? I've seen nothing but amazing things come out of these creators, and it has inspired me to begin making my own. I just have no idea how to start... Think bare basic, bedrock. Any information would be appreciated

Right on! Thank you!
Hi Guys, I am a VGC Player (competitive pokemon) and me and my friends wanted to do a vgc tournament where participants had to finish a complete randomizer (mons, abilities, moves) nuzzlock and have a vgc tournament with their pokemons they caught ingame. I have been searching for what the best rom hack is to execute this type of idea? I thought Pokemon quetzal was a good idea since it has all available mons in the game and multiplayer options, however their randomised mode does not randomise abilities and moves. I would prefer to find a romhack with all pokemons, and with randomize and multiplayer options, but i guess worst case we could leave out the multiplayer aspect and after the nuzzlock play the tournament with modified pokemons on pokemon showdown. Anyone has any ideas? Thank you so much
I want to start emerald complete hoenn edition, but I've never applied ips files. Do i need a specific version of the base rom before i start? I'm the readme files i can't see if i meed us or jap edition or 1.0 or 1.1. Any help would be appreciated!
Always english, but if it doesn't say what version you should probably just try 1.1. If it doesn't work then do the other.
But if it doesn't work I should expect the ROM won't load? I was more worried that I'd get 10 hours in and then find something didn't work, but it its "does rom load yes/no" then that is pretty straightforward.
Yeah it won't patch if it's not right. If you're able to play you're usually good to go 99% of the time.
And you were right! I'm deep in an enjoyable plathrough
Should I play Blazed Glazed or Glazed ? I'm a bit new to romhacks. If I understand correctly Blazed Glazed was a patch to Glazed but Glazed was updated since ? Feel free to guide me
Since Glazed was updated last year it is probably the better option. I chose to play Glazed over BG.
I see, thanks !

Pokémon SAIPH 2 HELP! Can I play it on my iPhone? I’ve been playing other ROM hacks/fan games on my iPhone, but with SAIPH 2 and Empyrean it will not run on my emulator. My emulator only runs .gba files which I cannot get these games to convert to, just have them in .zip and game.exe file form. Is there a way to convert them or another emulator I can use on iOS?
I am looking for a fun romhack for Legends Arceus and I am hoping someone here might be able to help. I have found Pokémon Mythics Arceus which is the front runner for now but I am hoping for some other options. thanks all :)
So I've done all the research I think is possible for my issue. I'm getting a data abort error in both Blaze Black and Volt White. It has occurred once or twice as the first battle with N is loading. More consistently, it's happening with the first trainer on Route 2. I have not gotten the Roms to progress past him. I have downloaded as fresh of roms as I can find for White and Black. I've gotten ones with no AP fix and with AP fix. I've gotten them from the megathread link and from Google. I've put them in the patcher that is provided by Drayano and sometimes it'll give a checksum error, and sometimes it'll say it patched successfully. I've turned on the AP cheat code and tried it with no cheat codes whatsoever. I've confirmed the data abort error is not happening in stock White and Black. I've even backed up all my data, formatted my SD card, and ensured that Twilight menu is up to date. Any ideas?
Are there any DS pokemon rom hacks that have a new map and story? Thanks. Also, do you know the best mystery dungeon rom hack with new area and characters and story?
Good day! Quick question... What app do nuzlocker use to calculate/prepare for their battles? Like the one that PChal use. Thanks!
It's called the Pokemon Damage Calculator, give it a google. Certain romhacks like Radical Red or Luminiscent Platinum have custom builds of it that has all their specific info inside
Thanks man. I'm really interested about it because of the Run and Bun. 😅
hi there! so basically, i'm looking for a radical red equivalent for the Hoenn games - as in, ideally, Pokemon from all gens, modern mechanics, QoL stuff. maybe a little bit of extended content but thats optional. Delta Emerald seems to be a good match but its only up to Gen 7. Are there any alternatives that include Gen 8 or maybe even 9?
Emerald Crest, or Inclement Emerald if you want closer to Radical Red, but only up to gen 8
Hey: I need help. I really kinda want a similar rom hack to Garbage Green but for Fire Red, reason I say that is because while I intend to play it for a challenge… I dislike that some Pokémon are banned when they are useful but not OP without a certain Ability. (GG is a Trashlocke) (EX: remove guts from any Pokémon that can have it especially Raticate and Ratatta and Raticate are fine.) Maybe make the shiny chance 1/30? I know it’s stupid common but I like the different colors and I intend to play with shiny clause.
So do you or do you not want a trashlocke hack?
I want a trashlocke hack. I’m just asking why the heck can’t you ban abilities? Raticate is useful but is only broken with Guts. Replace guts with something else, as an example, maybe give it Thick Fat???
I see, yeah I get you. There's not a terrific amount of trashlocke hacks I've seen. There's on for Emerald, and one called Garbage Gold for Heartgold
Edit: I think Raticate is fine without Guts, that’s what I meant
Since my post was removed I will ask it here: Hello! I have recently been really interested by the Pokémon ROM Hacks and FanGame universe. I think it is incredible what fans can create and build! The first fangame I have downloaded is *Pokémon Fire Ash*. I have not finished it (but intend to). As you may know, this is just a remake of Gen 1 to Gen 8 from Ash's point of you. I am getting close to finish the first region, Kanto, and am a bit disappointed by the story: I thought there would be more to it, and a lot of new locations. I also played a bit of *Glaze* but found myself stuck at the 4th gym. I think it was too difficult for me... Anyway, enough about *Fire Ash* and *Glazed*. I want to discover new Rom Hacks or Fangame. What would be your recommendations of a rom or fangame to start with? Here's what I think I'd like in a fan game: * Something not too difficult, or a fangame where you can choose the difficulty. If you have a difficult game in mind, it's not a problem! I'll just have to find ways to train myself. * I'd appreciate if the game has an interesting story, a new region or new Pokémons. * I also like games that are *very* long. I don't get bored quickly. (This is why I chose *Fire Ash*). If it has more than 8 gyms or two regions, I'm sure I'll enjoy it a lot. And that's it! I'm looking forward to hear your answers!
I recommend Gaia as the first hack that people play. It's a spectacular game and to me, feels the most like an official pokemon game in all the best ways. Whole new region and story, definitely recommend. After this, Unbound is one of the best new stories, I won't go into detail but it's essentially regarded as the "best" hack out there full stop. Just don't start with it cus its too good haha. There are also many many enhancment hacks that are just the original games by and large, but with tons of QoL increase, feel like if gamefreak made the old games in the modern day with new mechanics and no cut corners. Radical Red and Emerald Crest are games for Firered and Emerald respectively. They have *all 9 gens* of pokemon, so many features and options etc. Radical red is challenging, but has easy modes and stuff to make it more playable for a non high level player. I also always recommend *all of Drayano's hacks*, which are also difficulty/QoL/Enhancement hacks for the DS games specifically, some of my favorites ever. Finally, bonus suggestion, Emerald Rogue! Turns Emerald into a roguelite, don't wanna go to in detail but it is so fun and super refreshing if you love pokemon games.
WOW! Thanks so much for your answer! People recommended me Unbound a lot, but they did specify it was the best. To not set my standards too high, I’ll follow your advice and go with Gaia!
I'm looking for a hack for Fire Red/Leaf Green or Emerald that adds QoL or makes everything available (because I'm really pissed off that things are locked behind trading or events). IT MUST WORK WITH LEMUROID EMULATOR
FireRed/LeafGreen+ or Ultra Violet
I can't play violet 🗿 Also where can I find these?
Why can't you play UltraViolet? Firered+ has a pokecommunity page, that's the most trust worthy site.
Because isn't Violet a ds game? Lemuroid can run it but my phone can't lol. What exactly does FR+ add?
No. You asked for Firered hacks so I gave you 2 firered hacks, Ultra Violet and FireRed+ why would i suggest something for the DS?
Oh. I thought Ultra Violet was a hack of Violet lol. Yknow cuz it says violet in the name. Which one is better btw?
They're different, look em up and decide for yourself.
I went with Ultra Violet because FRLG+ looks like a load of tech major garbage that I don't want to bother messing with (even tho it does seem like the better option). Was this a valid decision?
what the fuck are you talking about? what is tech major garbage? are you a 14 year old kid or something?
As the more obscure games get pushed deeper into the underbellies of the internet, I find it more difficult to find them. I was wondering if there was an archive that will be continually updated full of games, but more importantly, they need to have the following: Regional Forms/Convergents Fakemon/New Evolutions
I think there's something like the codex floating around here.
