A lot of players love Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. They consider those games as the last real Pokemon games, whatever that means. That’s where Pokemon Black and White 3 Genesis comes into the picture. This is a Pokemon GBC hack of Crystal as the base and an unofficial continuation of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2.
The game is still in development, so the ROM hack that we have here is still the DEMO version. We’ll continue to update it as soon as the creator does. Regardless, the game is playable to a certain degree, and you just need the Pokemon Crystal ROM to patch the IPS file below.
