There are plenty of equivalent Pokemon games out there, but the listed games are what we recommend the most. Though this is not the official list of all Pokemon fan made games, we welcome recommendations.

The Difference Between Fan Made Pokemon Games and Pokemon ROM Hacks

Fan Made Pokemon Games

Pokemon fan made games, as the name suggests, are created by fans. This uses the concept of Pokemon, but the game could be entirely different with plenty of twists.

The game may not be like the traditional Pokemon games, but they have Pokemon in there. They use various programs like RPG Maker XP and Pokemon Essentials to create the game.

At these current days, RPG Maker XP games are only playable on Windows PC in .exe file format, but hopefully soon, they will make it available for mobile users. (Fan made Pokemon games can be played on Android using the app Joiplay)

Pokemon ROM Hacks

Pokemon ROM hacks use the data from an actual Pokemon game. Let’s take Pokemon Emerald, for example. The person making the ROM hack can use the data from that game.

This allows them to make an entirely new game using the character sprites, Pokemon sprites, Pokemon moves, music, locations, and more.

You could say that it cuts the creator’s job in half because all they need to do now is come up with a different story to hash out a fresh game. The more skilled creator can edit the sprites and data to make a wholesome new-looking game.

There are even those that use sprites and HUDs from other Pokemon games. You can have a Pokemon Emerald ROM hack, but it can incorporate sprites from Pokemon Diamond, which is a game from a different system.

Finally, these ROM hacks can be played on different emulators like My Boy, John GBA, Visual Boy Advance, mGBA, VBA-M, OpenEmu, and GBA4iOS. They can’t be played on their own because they are ROMs and not stand-alone games.

Yeah, that’s it! I hope this clears out the misconception. Just remember, fan-made and rom hacks are two different things. In this post, you will find a list of popular fan made Pokemon games.
