The best Pokémon ROM hacks for 2022

Pokémon Glazed is an Emerald-based hack, developed by redriders180, and completed in 2018. It has one of the highest qualities of any completed ROM hack in the Pokémon ROM world. Some of the regions you’ll be able to play are Rankor, Johto, and Tunod.

Instead of the usual three, you’ll get five starter Pokémon in the game and Two World Modes — the Real World and the Pokémon World. The game features new, out-of-battle effects, and the special and physical moves are pretty split. You’ll also get to play with Pokémons from Kalos, Unova, and Sinnoh.

The ROM hack uses a Pokémon Crystal codebase and was developed by Coolboyman. Pokémon Prism follows the story of Lance’s son, who, after playing in the mines, gets lost and ends up in the Najlo region. Prism’s mission is to collect all eight Najlo badges and fix the corrupted region.

You’ll be able to play in the Najlo region, which includes 10 brand-new towns. What’s more, you can choose between 252 different Pokémon from 4 different generations. In Pokémon Prism, you’ll get three new moves, a new clock system, and a few extra items. It also features some new mini-games and sounds.

Pokémon Adventures: Red Chapter was developed by Aethestode, and it’s a part of the Pokémon FireRed codebase. It is based on the Pokémon Adventure Manga and follows the story to the letter. With this ROM hack, you won’t get a Pokémon when you first start the game. But you will be able to catch all of them a bit later in the story.

You can explore plenty of different regions, such as Orre, Sinnoh, Hoenn, the Orange and Dicolore Archipelagos, and many more. The Red Chapter has numerous main quests, but you can also get a reward when you finish sidequests.

Just like the Red Chapter, Liquid Crystal is a ROM hack written in the FireRed codebase. The hack was developed by Linkandzelda, and the last update was in July 2019. In the Liquid Crystal, you’ll be playing in the Johto Region with numerous different rivals and trainers.

You can also explore a brand new region, the Orange Islands, and gain access to some new features and improvements. The latest update in the game includes Day and Night modes, weather effects, new music, and hidden areas. In essence, if you enjoyed playing the original Pokémon Crystal, we’re sure this hack will be right up your alley.

Pokémon Gaia is one of the biggest and most popular ROM hacks on the internet right now. It’s a part of the FireRed codebase and has countless different features and expansions. One of the biggest differences between Gaia and other Pokémon FireRed hacks is that it has Mega Evolution.

Also, you’ll be able to play with Pokémon from the fourth and fifth generations, and many others are on the way. The hack has new sprites for both trainers and Pokémon, as well as contests, sounds, and features. In fact, for the first time in any ROM hack, you can run inside buildings and houses.

The Pokémon Ash Gray ROM hack follows the Pokémon anime storyline almost exactly. But the biggest difference between the two is that this game has new sprites, maps, and tiles. It was developed by metapod23, and is in the FireRed codebase, just like the previous three games.

You will get to play around 116 events that are from the anime, and two new ones from the Pokémon movie. In fact, you can catch every Pokémon that Ash catches in the show, as well. What’s more, you can improve your abilities to Generation 5, and your moves to Generation 7.

If you’re looking for an extremely creative and challenging ROM hack, the Pokémon Clover is just what you need. The creators of the Clover, CloverCamerupt, have designed 386 Fakemon you can play with. What’s more, you can upgrade all of your trainers in the game to make the quests more difficult and interesting.

You’ll also get the chance to play in a new region, Fochun, and have access to eight new gyms. After you’ve explored the Fochun region, you’ll get to see a second one, the Ebin Islands. In the Pokémon Clover, you will have the Battle Facility, where you can buy rare items and have rematches with other players.

With one of the biggest selections of Pokémon, this FireRed ROM hack is one of the most popular around, right after Gaia. Shogun created and developed the game, and you can easily hack and edit the game to create the things you want to see.

In Cloud White, you can catch Pokémon from generations 1 through 6. You’ll also get new sprites for Pokémon and your trainers. The PokeMart has been updated in the latest version and you can finally access the PokeCenter. You can play in three different regions: Johto, Mangan, and Azur.

As part of the Dark Rising Series, the first installment features 386 Pokémon from every generation. As soon as you finish your first quest with the Professor, you will get your Pokémon to accompany you on your travels.

Dark Rising has a Day and Night mode included, and you’ll be able to explore a new region. You’ll also get some new moves and a few mini-games to play. If you’ve already played the game and loved the first part, you’ll be happy to know that you can play three more extensions from the same creator.

The last version update came out in 2018 and a creator named Sky developed the game. There are two versions of the Sky Flora you can play: the main one and the Complement Dex version.
