Fan Made Pokemon Games List ( RPG Maker XP)

Many people love Pokemon fan-made games, and also Pokemon ROM hacks. Nintendo can’t pump out a lot of Pokemon games every year. The quality would suffer, and the value of Pokemon would diminish. That’s where these fan-made games and ROM hacks come in to quench the thirst of people that love playing Pokemon.

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.

Fan made pokemon 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.


Conclusion

Pokemon fan games are great. Some of these Pokemon fan games are better than the official ones, as some people say!. We have listed some of the best fan made Pokemon games to give you a quick look at what else is out there. Check them out and see if anything catches your fancy.

No doubt, the above list of games is amazing! There are plenty of them, but I listed only the best. Have you played any of these fan-made games? And did I explain the difference between fan made and rom hacks correctly? I would love to hear your comments.

On the other hand, if you know a good fan made Pokemon game that you think should be added to the listing above, leave your message in the comment form below.

  1. I can’t download joiplay, the appstore say it only runes of older Android versions. I searched for an alternative, but didn’t find any

  2. There is one thing wrong! The new games made with Essentials can’t be played with Joiplay. But the bright side is the games can be played on Linux and Mac using MKXP-Z v2.3.1.

  4. Hey, thanks for this informative list! I recently just played Pokémon Terra Nova– which is a completed fan game released dec.27th 2021! Over 880 original Pokémon(fakemon). I think should be added to the list! It also works on Joiplay!

  8. I tried Pokemon Sage on Joiplay and it’s working perfectly, with some occasional graphic bugs and lag whenever I run(prolly cuz of my phone tho)

    • Thanks for sharing that information with us Sakusei. But could possibly be that the game is still not yet fully supported in Joiplay.

  9. I have a problem when i play a rom on android Joiplay and open the cheat menu at cheat items then it will appeared
    Script ‘(eval)’ line 321: NoMethod occured.
    undefined method ‘[]’ for nil:NilClass if i press ok “IT WILL CRASH” could you help me?

    Reply
    • Hi there, as far as I know, you can’t play rom files on joiplay. The emulator is created only for RPG Maker games like those games listed in this page. Another thing is that not all RPG maker xp games are compatible with Joiplay. These are the pokemon games that we believe working with Joiplay.

      • The only games I cannot run on joiplay are pokemon empyrean and mega adventure. I have tested the following; pokemon sunday, pokemon wack, pokemon godra, pokemon zeta, pokemon reborn, pokemon fire ash, pokemon Metal, pokemon rejuvenation, pokemon insurgence and pokemon uranium

    • You can’t play fan made pokemon games on DS, these are for Windows PC only. Though I haven’t tried playing DS rom hacks on a modded Nintendo DS console before, but I guess it’s worth checking some of our list of Pokemon DS ROM hacks.

      Reply
      • Actually, you can now play fangames on android. I have Reborn fully working on mobile, using the latest Patreon builds of the Joiplay app and it’s RPGMaker plugin. 30 megabytes, no internet required, and depends on your phones RAM and Processor. Running an Essential-PH1 with almost nil lag, no battery drainage or overheating.

        It is no longer a dream, people.

  11. I think that you should also add Pokemon FireAsh, because in this fan game, you can explore all the regions of the core series pokemon games.

    Reply
  12. I think all the games listed are awesome. But I think Pokemon Gaia should be added. I didn’t see it up there,

    Reply
    • Hey there IoeMCA, Pokemon Gaia is a Pokemon GBA rom hack (you can find it listed in this page) and not a fan-made RPG Maker XP game that’s why you can’t find it listed here.
