Pokemon Saffron Details and More
Story
The story takes place in the Azira Region, where an event called the Great Migration happens. Basically, a lot of Pokemon will migrate to Azira for a period of time and head back to where they originally came from.
Your character comes from the Hoenn Region and will partake in the Pokemon festivities during this Great Migration that is happening.
Features
The game prides itself on having a Pokemon roster that goes up to Gen 8, but not everyone is included. You would also notice the improved graphics for GBA emulators.
Don’t forget about updated musical tracks playing in the game. The added content and features include Mega Evolution, Gigantamax, special forms, and updated types.
Special forms include Alolan, Galarian, and even some original Aziran forms. New items have also been added and updated to fit the hack and its content. Saffron will also include a system to change the use of HM in the field.
