Pokemblem – GBA ROM Hack

There have been a lot of Pokemon hacks that use base games such as FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. However, there hasn’t been a Pokemon hack that we’ve covered that utilizes a different base ROM. We’re talking about Pokemblem, which doesn’t use any of the GBA Pokemon ROMs.

We also have those hacks that have different games if you click here.

What this hack uses is Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones. That’s right, it uses Fire Emblem as the base, but the game itself is Pokemon. The gameplay is a bit different because it uses Fire Emblem’s system and that’s what makes this hack a whole lot more interesting.

Regardless, even if it uses Fire Emblem as the base, the steps in patching it are the same.  You just need to have the Fire Emblem Sacred Stones ROM to use as your base.

Pokemblem Details and More

Story

The story is seemingly the same as the ones for FireRed and LeafGreen. There are some modifications due to the gameplay mechanics, but for the most part, the game takes place in Kanto.

Features

The biggest feature here is the gameplay or combat mechanics. It utilizes the Fire Emblem battle system and not the Pokemon one. Just to give you an idea, it’s more on tactical and strategy rather than being turn-based.

This isn’t a hack for you if you’re more into Pokemon than the Fire Emblem combat. This would probably give you a shock since everything you know about Pokemon is thrown out of the window, but this hack is still worth a try.
