Final Thoughts
Pokemon ROM hacking is quite a tough task and demands full commitment. Editing sprites, coming up with a great story, creating music, and looking for reliable contributors who can help develop the game is very tedious work.
This is one reason why, although there are hundreds of Pokemon ROM hacks available online, many of them are still in the development stage, and only a few were considered completed.
You are always welcome to recommend your favorite completed Pokemon rom hack; drop your message using the comment form below.

Hey! I have been on the search for a nice ROM hack but find it difficult to find what I am looking for I’m looking for a fun custom ROM hack that meets the following criteria: Must include: – Pokémons from gen I (and II) – All Pokémons are accessible in some way (leveling, items, internal trade, catching, unique new ways, but not relying on external trade) Could include: – Kanto, then Johto based order (like the anime) – Improved move-pool by levelling – Side-quests Should not include: – Pokémons gen III onwards – Relying on external trade-evolutions I hope… Read more »

It’s a flipin fan game not an rom hack
Does anyone have Mega Ruby? I am having trouble after beating the Mauville Gym. I have no clue where to go.
I have mega ruby
Pokemon Orange Islands hack is no good. There isn’t a good copy online. Basically you open in your house, the moment you step outside the screen goes black.
That you are not able to find it doesn’t mean that it is no good. I have seen many YTers play it fine and I did also. You just have not found a good source.
It may also depend on which emulator you use. On PC, did you use visualboyadvance-m or visual boy advance? without the (m)?
Did you use MyBoy on android?

In pokemon red chapter adventures you have all eevelutions as long as other non official like as ghost eevee, stone eeve, steel eevee, poison eevee, etc.
I would like to know which one is the best one in terms of story but I don’t want to check them all
I would start with Gaia, after that, you can go with Mega Emerald X and Y Edition, Mega Power and so on.
Dark violet, one of the best in my opinion
Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into Dark Violet and will add in the list soon.
Is there a complete remake of pokemon crystal??
Crystaldust is really good but there aren’t any new update and liquid crystal has many additional
Crystal clear is pretty good but it can’t be considered as a remake as it’s not gba
Pokemon Orange Islands should be on the list
Never heard that rom hack before.
Just look it up on PC or something. Honestly it’s one of the best.
Have you looked it up yet?

Hey i am try to play Pokemon Mega Emerald X and Y Edition.but i am not able to convert ips file plz help.
Hi, If you haven’t have experience patching rom hacks, you may look for pre patched version of the game. But, you can’t find it here sorry. Just search on Google the term like “Pokemon Mega Emerald X and Y Edition pre patched”.
you are a loser who plays mega emerald x and y . Because i play pokemon ultra sun and moon !hahahahahahahahahaha. Don’t take it sereously dude.THAT WAS A JOKE MAN.
Is there a game that allows you to catch/complete pokemon from the region dex or the pokemon released up to the point of the game’s base generation (i.e. red/blue/yellow, gold/silver/crystal, ruby/sapphire/emerald)?
Hi pokemon Coders I just love u or u guys …. could u tell me the newest hack rom between 2018-19 please
Hello there venom, so far Gaia V3 and Ultra Shiny Gold Sigma are the best rom hacks I can recommend.
Hi Pokemon coders I understand that’s on this site only has patch hacks. But are there any that’s already patched? I can’t figure out how to patch them and the tutorial had loud music making it hard to understand the talking in y’alls YouTube. But let me know… Thanks!
Hi there dude, sorry but we don’t have pre-patched rom hacks here. But you can always use Google to find pre-patched rom hacks, there are 2 sites I know that are offering these files.
I was wondering, is there was a Pokémon hack based on the buried alive creepypasta that has been completed? Even if there was one still in development would you mind letting me know?
Pokémon Black
Pokémon Cursed
Pokémon Escape from Lavender Town
It’s all I can think of now
I want to know as well
I want 5 region in one game in android gba can you help me to find ?
Cloud white i guess, the game is really big, i mean, REALLY big.
I cant play any of these game. My emulator dont recognised them
Hi there Matea, It seems like you are new to this thing. First off, if you want to play these games you have to patch them to your FireRed or Emerald ROM. Or you can conveniently search for a pre-patched version of these games which you can find simply by searching on Google.
I want to download Fire red ROM,but I don’t know where can I download it
Sorry we don’t share ROM files here, you can find it somewhere, Hint: Reddit.
Download uc browser and den tipe in Pokemon Omega red and u will fine it
Do I need to ROOT my phone to patch this?
No need. You can patch these using a computer(recommended) or phone(sometimes it’ll not work), check this guide.
Download GBA emulator from play store if you’re using Android that is, if you’re lazy like me (it automatically patches)
why doesnt my boy gba work?
Most of the games are in .ips/.ups format, you have to patch them to your FireRed or Emerald rom to play.
How??
Download Ruby or emerald and there should be a thing that says patch
Or change the extension to .zip
Because you’re a noob lol.
Thought of theta emerald ex??
Theta Emerald Ex is a good game and definitely worth to play but it’s not yet completed, though I highly recommend the game.
Hi ever heard of Pokemon Neo Emerald, as far as I know, its a pokemon emerald based rom hack but I’m not quite sure if its completed.
Haven’t heard of that game before but I guess it’s a good game.
i want a completed pokemon gba romhack that a pokemon will follow you always
thats a lame reason
You moron, everyone has their own preference in playing ROM hacks. I have played 50+ hacks, still didn’t find any according to my liking.
U SUMED IT ALL UP BRO
Hi, I am new to this site and having a little trouble figuring out how this all works. What patching app should I use to get this roms to work? And to clarify, the file I download from here is what I’m patching to the base rom correct? Thanks for any help you can give me.
You can use NUPS for UPS files or Lunar IPS patcher for IPS rom hacks. Yes, you’re correct, the downloaded file from here is what you are patching to your base rom.
can you make a pokemon fan game that has a feature that your pokemon will follow you
There’s a popular rom hack that Pikachu will follow you, but I forgot the name of the game. Pokemon Thunder Yellow is also a good that Pikachu will follow.
Pokemon AshGray
AshGray is a great game but I believe it is not yet completed.
Yes it is not completed yet. I AM waiting for its next update
What about Pokemon fire Ash it is completed but can be only played on a pc
Try pokemon adventure red chaper beta 13.Its just like u said and it has mega evolution.Hope it helps
