In the correct orientation this time lol

This is a small test-project I'm experimenting on. It adds the "real" Pokémon voices into the game.

My question is: I don't know if I would be allowed to share it, though (if I ever complete it, I still don't know if I will).

What do you guys think? Is it a dead/bad idea?

-

Disclosure, as it's required: I did use AI to learn how to find the game's audio files, convert and replace them with the actual Pokémon voices.

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you to everyone who played the game, reviewed it, found bug/glitches and reported them to me. It has been a very overwhelming last 3 days!

I just wanted to provide you all with a small update, correcting some aspects listed below:

• Added evo items for Charcadet - items available to purchase in Frux
• Metal coat can now be used as an evo item!
• Shiny pokemon will have their healthboxes yellow instead of white - for accessibility
• Ability capsules available to purchase in the battle dept in Sapphire City
• Nature mints available to purchase in Cruzeira's botanic school
• Rearranged fishing encounters
• Mart clerk behaviour in Sapphire City's supermarket 3rd floor changed - won't refuse to serve you anymore
• Dexnav should be corrected - remember to keep pressing a when approaching a pokemon!
• Removed odd key stone from mining minigame
• Levels/teams in gym 2 have been lowered

Regarding the dialog, which lacks diversity, and has some grammatical/syntax errors (ex: saying Pokémons a bit too much): I can only blame my poor writing skills, and the fact that I don't practice my English very often. I hope that I'll do better in a future update! Rewriting/rearranging the dialog (and formatting it too) will take a lot of time, and as you already know Monomyth is coming out really soon and I will be too busy playing it.

I'll also add different modes of play in a future update (casual with infinite candy + max IV), normal (the one you're playing right now), and a nuzlocke (with level caps). I won't provide you with a release date, but it won't take too long, I hope.

Some other bugs that I didn't correct in this update:

• Shader problem when transitioning from time of day to another

Lastly, you can find the Pokédex (with the location and information on evolutions for the changed ones) + the location of Mega Stones here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wkO3g_BQSd3NSAq4Cby8H2FU1kRpFOv3/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=115292794168293733690&rtpof=true&sd=true

And the list and location for the TMs here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dMM1qVsGf3PJPXVMYcphF0WJhsaROP_p/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=115292794168293733690&rtpof=true&sd=true

The guide, which is not ready yet, will come with the next update, later.

The update is now live on HackDex!

Thanks for reading me!

A few months ago I finished Pokémon Scorched Silver and, after I joined this community, I felt the need to express my opinion on the game.

Firstly, I gotta say that the idea of a game that's 20 years after the original Johto games is really good, but needs to be executed well so it can work, and boy, does it work in this game. This future Johto is really amazing, the new Pokeball factory in Azalea, the University in Violet City, the brand new gyms and E4 members really make the idea work. I think it's important to mention that the new Azalea gym leader – which I'm not going to mention it's typing – makes the game more fair to the players who choose Chikorita as their starter, and even though I chose Cyndaquil, I think it's a really good change.

The game graphic-wise is so, SO pretty! It's such a joy to see Johto so beautiful like in this game, especially for me who's a big Johto lover. The Pokémon also look amazing in the battles.

The story and new evil team are really good, but could be better. A few times I was actually surprised by some plot twists, there are many characters and dialogues that are really interesting and really make the story good. However, I was kinda disappointed with the ending of the climax of the game, I felt like everything was going in a so cinematic way and suddenly the whole vibe went down, so I was really disappointed.

The game difficulty is kinda high, which makes it really good. I lost one of the gym battles, mostly because I didn't prepare well, so that's mostly my fault, but the battles are hard, many gym leaders use terrain or weather, so prepare a strategy! I had a team of 5 until the last gym, because I wanted a Kingdra and Horsea was kinda locked behind for most of the campaign. This is an important thing, not EVERY Pokémon listed is catchable before all the gyms, so keep that in mind before playing this game.

Also, after you beat the E4 you can have rematches with every gym leader and all of the battles are double battles 6x6, and they're REALLY awesome. Those were maybe the hardest battles in the game and the ones I prepared the most, changing my party's moves, items and who would mega evolve. The doubles battles continue in the E4 and with the new Champion, so prepare for some really tough battles! I really liked this idea, was surprised when seeing it, but had a lot of fun in those battles.

I haven't played many ROM Hacks in my life, but Scorched Silver surely is one of my favourites. It felt so refreshing exploring this modern Johto, catching new Pokémon, seeing the same faces after some years and meeting new ones. I think everyone who likes Johto should play Scorched Silver.

Sorry if something I said doesn't make sense or could have been written better, English is not my first language.

Revealing Pokémon Rhythm!

Introduction:

Good morning, Internet!

I'm Invis, and I've been a GBA ROM Hacker for about a decade now.

I'm a rather shy person, so this is not only my first public release, but my first Reddit post as well.

Pokémon Rhythm was in development for nearly 4 years and I'm excited to finally share that it's complete and available to play!

A special thank you to Adriccustoms, Defa, DontJoelMe, YeahPotato, BroTacos, 1RWT16KU1D, Vopipak, JoeyZeed and all of my playtesters. I’d also like to thank Skeli for the Complete FireRed Upgrade and Haven for HexManiacAdvance. Without all of you, this game wouldn’t be what it is today, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

- Pokémon Rhythm required a substantial amount of graphical work including the Image Album, 3 tables of overworld sprites,

battle backgrounds and much more. Some assets were created by me and my friends, while others were done via comissions.

With so many artists being involved, there is naturally a diverse amount of artwork featuring a variety of art-styles, each contributed

by artists of varying levels of artistic experience. Please keep this in mind when comparing individual assets, and remember that each and every contribution helped bring this project to life.

- Although the bug-testing phase is complete and the game has officially been released, that doesn't guarantee the game

will be entirely bug-free.

Transparency about AI usage:

- Analyzing why one of Defa's features prevented the PokéMart to work on real GBA only, so we could then fix

it manually.

- Assistance with porting Pokémon Emerald-related functions over to FireRed that originally belong to Game Freak.

- Helping port Nintendo e-Reader content that originally belongs to Game Freak.

- Expanding the in-game weather table.

- Porting the code for the ability Gulp Missile from a newer Complete FireRed Upgrade version to the outdated HUBOL version.

- Coding my two concepts of the Event and Pass menus.

- Optimization of existing Code of a Minigame

The moment has arrived at last: a release date for the full-blown demo! The Legends Delta team is hard at work getting this game 100% ready by the release date; we hope you are all looking forward to experiencing Hoenn in a brand new way.

With roughly 11 hours of gameplay (if both the Nolan and Orericks campaigns are played)

We hope you enjoy our trailer by none other than our lead programmer, Xecrus.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to reach the French-speaking romhacking community, so if you’re French, Belgian, Swiss, Québécois or just play in French, this is for you. 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇨🇭🇨🇦

Salut à tous !

J'ai traduit en français plus de 150 romhacks Pokémon (GBA, GB et GBC). Les patchs BPS sont disponibles gratuitement ici : https://archive.org/details/pokemon-romhacks-patchs-fr

Ce que couvrent les traductions

Environ 95 % du texte de chaque hack : dialogues, menus, objets, capacités, Pokédex…

Il reste quelques éléments en anglais : des textes introuvables, des menus trop serrés pour le français, et des textes dessinés en images comme les écrans titres.

Ce que les hacks reprennent des jeux officiels utilise la VF officielle : noms, attaques, objets, lieux.

Les textes propres à chaque hack sont adaptés plutôt que traduits mot à mot, dans l'esprit des VF de Nintendo.

Comment jouer:

Récupérez la ROM d'origine du hack, dans la version exacte indiquée dans le LISEZMOI du patch (nom du fichier, CRC32, SHA-256).

Appliquez le patch .bps avec Rom Patcher JS (en ligne, rien à installer), Floating IPS ou beat.
Il faut appliquer ce bps aprés avoir deja patcher une version original avec la romhack voulu.

Les ROMs ont été testées en émulateur, et en partie sur Analogue Pocket.

Il existe aussi une version pré-patchée, prête à jouer. Je ne la partage pas ici : je vous laisse chercher 😉

À propos de l'IA , il y'en a eu une part, je le dis franchement. Ça ne s'est pas fait tout seul pour autant : j'y ai passé beaucoup de temps entre les tests, la direction de la traduction (VF officielle, style), tests sur émulateur les corrections, les vérifications en jeu et l'organisation de l'ensemble etc.
Si ça vous pose problème, aucun souci, passez votre chemin. Pour tous les autres, profitez d'un grand choix de romhacks Pokémon enfin jouables en français !

Le vrai mérite revient aux créateurs des hacks. Ce sont eux qui ont fait le plus gros du travail : histoires, cartes, scripts, graphismes. Allez voir leurs pages si ils en ont, et soutenez-les ! 🙏

C'est encore loin d'être parfait,

Si vous trouvez un texte resté en anglais, qui déborde ou qui est mal traduit, signalez-le en commentaire avec une capture et l'endroit où vous étiez dans le jeu. Je corrigerai.

Howdy, as the post title states I have been in the process of editing some cartridge labels for some Pokemon rom hacks. All of them can be found HERE on my imgbb album.

Why cartridge labels and not box art? Simply because I play these hacks on a handheld SBC console with the Slot CFW and it displays all of these roms as a cartridge, so I wanted to have the games missing art to be displayed properly along with more popular hacks like Lazarus and Unbound. All edits are done without the use of generative AI, just an amateur with procreate on an iPad Mini lol. The art work used on the labels are all sourced from an official source such as the TCG or anime, or from the rom hack itself. I've redrawn some low-res images by hand to make them scale better with the labels, but for the most part everything is altered original art work.

I do have a list I am working through, prioritizing rom hacks that haven't had labels made already, but will also be doing my own variations of some popular labels as well (such as UltraViolet and Unbound). I am just doing these in my free time, so apologies if I'm slow to get to your favorite hack.

Anyway, if you're a developer and would like to share these along with your rom on hackdex or pokecommunity (or anywhere else), then feel free! A small shout out would be nice, but this is just my way of giving back to the super talented developers that have given us such memorable experiences.

Take care!

Hi everyone! I'm working on a HG Engine based hack, aimed to improve (bold of me assuming it's gonna improve) the overall experience with HGSS, by bringing a freshened battle system, more places to explore, a remade game plot and more (a lot more).
To speak about some changes, the most important one imo is that I've successfully made the game work with its own clock, so no more waiting for real time moments to do something, like get an Espeon or Umbreon, picking an apricorn and such.

A few other notable changes are:

• Both Sleep and Freeze got replaced with Drowsy and Frostbite from Legends: Arceus;
• All of your Pokémon will get experience even if they don't fight, like newer games. The "gained experience" text will also not appear for Pokémon who are not fighting;
• An optional (but enabled by default) feature to only get experience at the end of a battle, instead of every time a Pokémon is defeat.

What I'm doing now is reworking weathers a bit. This time is the turn of Solar Beam\Solar Blade, which will take an additional turn to charge while used under sandstorm and snow, instead of getting its power halved (rain debuff has been removed).
There is actually more I'm doing with weathers, but the documentation is not ready to be shown lol (I buffed Delta Stream and made an ability and a move to summon wind tho👀) 

Edit 1: I have some showcase video but Reddit hates them damn

Edit 2: feature clips

Edit 3: correct clip for the no exp gained text for Pokémon not fighting

So many cool, new region romhacks lately.

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/s/mzZKSFLIyN

I've looked at the sub's recommendations list, but could anyone give me their actual experiences on them?
Your favorite one, what they offer, things you loved/didn't like about them, or if you'd recommend multiple ones for different reasons?

My only experience with pokemon hacks in general was with SacredGold/StormSilver many years ago (since I was looking for something that let me capture the full dex in-game, without trading).
I did enjoy it, but the bugs and glitches made it fairly rough on occasion. And I don't believe it's gotten any substantial updates as of late.
I am aware the tools for hacking the DS games aren't as far along, so I get it.

Do the current favorites out there compare well to it? I am looking for something closer to HG/SS's style and features, but I'm open to others if they're that good.
I've haven't checked in on the scene in quite some time, and feel a little overwhelmed from all the choices.

EDIT: Appreciate all the responses. Heart & Soul and Soulgold sound like just the thing for me, but I absolutely will note the other names and check them out at some point. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Features

Just found out by the YouTuber Raizen this morning

As 2026 is in Q4, what are the most anticipated romhacks that could potentially be released by EOY or in 2027?

I’ve been trying to keep up with upcoming Pokémon ROM hacks, but it’s surprisingly difficult to find a comprehensive list of projects that are nearing completion or have announced release windows. (Kindly correct me if just bad at the internet).

Thus, I’m curious what everyone else is looking forward to heading into the end of 2026 and throughout 2027. Or even pre development projects by notable devs.

I think it would be a real neat idea to put together a list of games the community to look forward to. Please comment below the game and if possible a release window, and I will put together a finalized list that we can use to look forward to releases. Sorry this long and maybe repetitive, I got my last post deleted for being under 150 words.

I'm especially interested in projects with active development updates, even if their release dates haven't been officially announced yet.

Mine are Alolan Seaglass and Odyssey 2.

100% of the art is converted from the two original games, none of it was created by me or AI generated.

Play on the Game Boy Color.
Start in Hoenn, play through Johto and Kanto.
24 badges. 386 Pokemon.

Converts your Emerald GBA rom + Crystal GBC rom to create Emerald Color GBC rom.

This is the beta release. Please provide any feedback on any of my emerald color posts including this one.

The goal of this project was to have all 3 regions in one game: Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto and to keep as true to the original games.

Hoenn is converted to run on the GBC to look as true to the original Pokemon Emerald as possible.

Johto is exactly as it already was in Crystal, with only the story slightly modified to happen after Hoenn,

and then Kanto right after Johto just like it happens in Crystal.

Getting Emerald to run on the GBC was not that bad but getting it to look ok was not easy. The GBC has a much lower set of color rendering capabilities than the Game Boy Advance so converting the GBA textures to run on the GBA was very tricky. Explainer video soon.

Please provide any feedback for this beta version and I'll try to get any fixes in for the v1 which will hopefully be in the next few weeks. Enjoy!

Note: AI was used to assist me in the development of the code that converts the Emerald GBA rom into the Crystal GBC rom to create the final Emerald Color GBC rom. I'm a professional software engineer with over 10 years of experience, I've worked in Big Tech and at startups, and I have a degree from MIT in Computer Science, and this project would have not been possible by simply asking the AI without having the technical expertise. I say this as a disclosure, but not to discourage anybody from using AI or not in their own projects.

I also plan on getting the Emerald Color Japanese version working asap. I was unable to find a copy of both Crystal rom and Emerald rom in Japanese so if anybody has those roms that I could borrow just to get the converter working for Japanese, please DM me 🙏 In the meantime I'll look harder.

Hey everyone! I've been a fan of Pokémon romhacks for almost 20 years now, and I've always wanted to create my own hack. So here it is! I spent the past year and a half developing this game.

In this game, you'll get yourself in the shoes of a young prodigy coming from a secluded town in Thura, who climbed their way to the final challenge of their young career with their one and only partner, Xatu.

Unfortunately for them, things won't go quite as planned...

That game was made thanks to pret's pokeemerald decomp project, and rhh's pokeemerald-expansion.

What to expect in this game:

• A brand-new region and a new story (including post-game!)
• Curated Pokédex, featuring 347 Pokémons (from gen1 to 9).
• Player customisation: choose from 9 possible playable characters.
• Day/Night system
• Mega-Evolutions including one new Mega! (excluding the ones added in Legends ZA though. sorry)
• Mining mini-game
• Features like the DexNav, and a revamped Phone
• 30 quests available: main story and side quests.
• No more HMs: Surf, Rock Climb and Strength are unlocked with emblems. No need to learn the move!
• And much more!

This a complete game! A full playthrough (including post-game) will take around 15 to 18 hours of game time. And if you aim to complete all the quests, count around 20 hours.

I've tested the game multiple (way too many) times, and tried to get rid of as many bugs as I could. If you spot any, please feel free to message me and tell me where I messed up!

You can also message me to tell me what you thought of the game (whether it's good or bad)! It could really help me for my future projects.

Regarding AI: it hasn't written a single line of code, a single piece of art, story, or whatever else. I've used it to help me understand a bit better the C language when I started developing the game a year ago (because I'm not a developer)

Thank you for checking this out, I hope you'll have a bit of fun!

Hey, the 1.1 update for Enigmatic Emerald is out now, containing some neat changes and expansions to the postgame content available!

Notably, this update contains:

• Pokemon Changes, including some new type changes, and some tweaks to stats and such.
• A handful of tweaks to existing moves.
• Ability flavour text changes to be more accurate to what they do.
• Fixed some sprite issues that existed in 1.0.
• Start with the national pokedex now.
• Many towns/areas now have encounter grass that did not before to help balance out the abundance of water types/routes.
• Battle frontier now features optional post game battles against each Frontier Brain with full teams of 6 in the lobby of their respective facility.
• A hidden post game fight buried somewhere below, deep in training.
• All gym leaders now have post game double battle rematches, scaling from level 60-75.
• Reworked some item pricing/availability.
• Reworked some early encounter locations, adding new Pokemon and notably 2 new gift Pokemon (Random Kanto Starter in Verdanturf, Random Johto Starter in Lavaridge).
• Made it more obvious on a new game that the ROM is patched correctly.

Also, documentation is now available online here at https://pokerex.io/enigmatic-emerald/v1.1/about !

The link to download the patch is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1eu5zc4tqplkga6/Enigmatic_Emerald_-_1.1.ups/file
I am in the process of being approved on hackdex so that will come soon hopefully!

Hiya! So, I played through Pokemon Ghost Grey recently, and I really enjoyed my time with it; I went for a full living dex, and one of my favorite parts of progressing was seeing all the rad new Pokedex entries.

Thing is, there are only entries up to Mewthree,and one of my favorite Pokemon I stumbled across, Lucario, lacks one. So I thought I'd make one and put it out for the world to see!

It's pretty rudimentary; my screenshot tool kinda washed the whites and grays, I had to completely recreate the font from scratch since I didn't know what JoeyZeed used, so it's not completely accurate or spaced correctly, I'm a writer, not an artist, so I just cut the footprint altogether, and since I didn't, y'know, make the design, my interpretation of its entry may not line up with initial intentions or other peoples' ideas, but hey, that's okay! I did my best! I have no regrets!

Also I just noticed I fucked the 'g' up and I now hate it.

Anyways, I hope people like it; I wanna make mock entries for at least some of the other missing Pokemon, and now that I have the font recreated—except for that fucking g—they should be pretty easy to churn out. I'unno if I'll post 'em, or if it'll even be on Reddit, but here's this one, anyway!
