'''ROM hacks''', also known as '''hack games''' or '''ROM patches''', are video games that have been edited or altered by enthusiasts. The hackers achieve this by changing the code of the '''R'''ead-'''O'''nly '''M'''emory of a published video game to create something new.<br />
<br />
The [[core series]] Pokémon game system is considered very versatile and lends itself well to modification, giving hackers a lot of creative freedom together with a solid, well-tested game engine. These factors, as well as Pokémon’s notable popularity throughout the world, has lead to the creation of thousands of different games spanning multiple generations, ranging from minor adjustments to additional new features and, more and more frequently, entirely new fan-made Pokémon games. Though the core-series is by far the most popular series to hack, there are also many fan-created Pokémon games that do not use these as basis, and instead are, for example, modified versions of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]].<br />
<br />
There is a distinction between ROM hacks and "bootleg games". These are unauthorised copies of published games which are sold to consumers, often flashed onto after-market game paks or game cards and lacking the official Nintendo Seal. However, since ROM hacks are often distributed over the Internet for free, they are regularly sold as bootleg games, usually against the hacker’s wishes. The reliability of these bootlegs are often poor, and has become such a problem that hackers have started to introduce warning screens into their games, cautioning users that if they paid for it, they may have been scammed.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Early Pokémon ROM hacks date back to the late 1990s with modified editions of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. These were often relatively minor adjustments such as sprite or dialogue changes, and would generally follow the flow of the original game. These early ROM hacks were infamous for being particularly crude in nature, ranging from swapping Pokémon and human sprites around to replacing the dialogue with obscene text.<br />
<br />
This trend continued until the release of Pokémon Brown by user Koolboyman in the early 2000s, one of the most notable Pokémon hacks in history. This was the first hack to completely re-invent the game, with a brand new region and completely new plot. Later editions included an expanded [[Pokédex]] (including Pokémon from Generations II, III and IV), additional dungeons and additional plot tweaks. It is one of the few completed hack games and was successful enough to warrant a sequel (Pokémon Prism, [[Pokémon Crystal|a Pokémon Crystal-based hack]]) and a Generation III version (Pokémon rijonAdventures) based on {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.<br />
<br />
Since Brown, Pokémon hacking’s notoriety has expanded exponentially, with developers creating many software tools for desktop operating systems to help create maps, edit sprites, graphics and even developing scripting languages specifically for the Pokémon game engine. It has also inspired many hackers to learn how to edit the games' assembly code directly (known as ASM hacking). Numerous hacks have been released, often using FireRed as a base, such as Pokémon ShinyGold, Pokémon Naranja and the Pokémon Ruby Destiny series, just to name a few.<br />
<br />
There are many websites dedicated to Pokémon ROM hack development. Notable examples include Skeetendo, PHO and [[PokéCommunity]]’s ROM Hack section, the largest known English-language Pokémon ROM hacking community. Many of these sites hold award nominations and ceremonies to showcase some of the best talents of their community.<br />
<br />
==Legality==<br />
[[Nintendo]] is against the practice of ROM hacking and has taken action against it.<ref>https://kotaku.com/another-pokemon-fan-game-says-nintendo-shut-them-down-1790360365</ref><ref>https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150911/06482132220/nintendo-hates-you-massive-takedowns-youtube-videos-featuring-mario-bros-fan-created-levels.shtml</ref><br />
<br />
==Game types==<br />
Pokémon ROM hacks tend to fall into five vague categories, though due to the huge versatility of the Pokémon engine, some hacks will transcend several categories at once.<br />
<br />
===Dex hacks===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Blaze Black 2.png|thumb|Pokémon Blaze Black 2, a popular 649 hack]]<br />
These hacks are designed to make all Pokémon available in-game, including [[starter]]s, [[event Pokémon]], [[game-exclusive Pokémon]], and Pokémon that can only be obtained or <br />
{{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|evolved}} through [[trade|trading]], thus allowing the [[Pokédex]] to be fully completed in a single playthrough of the game. They are often, though not always, named by simply appending the size of the National Pokédex (depending on the [[generation]]) to the end of the base game's name, as in "Pokémon Red 151" or "Pokémon Emerald 386". Such hacks will often not deviate too far from the official game story, and are often used in [[Nuzlocke Challenge|Nuzlocke]] runs and, more notably, for several runs in [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]].<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Hard Mode hacks===<br />
These hacks, such as Pokémon FireRed: The Hard Version and Pokémon Expert Emerald, also differ little from official game in terms of story. They instead have a significantly higher difficulty than usually experienced in regular Pokémon games. These types of games too are popular amongst Nuzlockers as an additional challenge on top of Nuzlocke rules. Many fans see Pokémon Black and White 2’s [[Key System|Challenge Mode]] as an acknowledgement of these hacks, though no official link has been made.<br />
<br />
===ROM bases===<br />
[[File:Day and Night Mode in Liquid Crystal.png|thumb|Late evening in Pokémon Liquid Crystal as a result of the fan-developed Day/Night System]]<br />
These hacks are often designed to be used as a base for other ROM hacks, and often include major revisions to the game’s base code through ASM hacking to add new features such as additional types or a completely re-vamped tileset. Notable features include the introduction of genders into Pokémon Gold, the addition of a Physical/Special split and the real-time clock into Pokémon FireRed, which gives way to a full Day/Night system, a feature that was missed by many fans in Generation III.<br />
<br />
Another noteworthy feature is the development of the UPS format, which allows the expansion of Game Boy Advance ROM hacks from their original 16MB format to 32MB. This has the advantage of effectively doubling the space available for new maps and graphics, but means the game is only playable under emulation and will crash when played on official Nintendo hardware.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Language hacks===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Emerald Chinese.png|thumb|A Chinese fan-translation of [[Pokémon Emerald]]]]<br />
Since the core series games prior to [[Generation VI]] were regularly released first in Japan, sometimes months ahead of their international releases, amateur enthusiasts would often translate Japanese-language Pokémon games into English and other languages so they could be played by international audiences. Since the translation was often performed by one or a small group of people, the quality of these translations were often dubious to say the least, the most humorous example being Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal. Nonetheless, these hacks were generally translated well enough to be played and were very popular amongst {{wp|YouTube|YouTubers}}.<br />
<br />
In recent years, the core series games have begun releasing simultaneously around the world in more languages and as a result the need for language hacks has somewhat diminished. It does still happen for languages that the Pokémon games are not yet available in, most notably [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] prior to [[Generation VII]].<br />
<br />
===Full/complete hacks===<br />
These hacks are complete overhauls of the games, with new characters, plots, regions and features. They often overhaul the game’s graphics, incorporating those seen in later generation games including battle backgrounds, sprites and map tiles. They will regularly include Pokémon, moves and types from later generations, and will sometimes include brand new ones created by the hacker. Some hacks, such as ShinyGold and LiquidCrystal, are remakes of entire previously-released games, in the same way that FireRed and LeafGreen were remakes of Red, Blue and Yellow.<br />
<br />
Because of the extraordinary amount of work involved by a voluntary hacker or hacking team, few of these games are finished in their entirety and are usually playable in the form of a beta. Most of the notable hacks below are considered to be part of this category.<br />
<br />
==Notable core series hacks==<br />
With the release of easy-to-use hacking tools for the core series games, there are thousands of ROM Hacks available. What follows is a few notable examples, each with a brief explanation. <!--RPG Maker created games and fan games do not count as hacks, please double check games before adding in the future--><br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
"Pokémon ShinyGold" was a [[Generation III]] [[remake]] of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} using the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} engine, echoing how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. Whilst not the first of its kind, it is amongst the most well-known Generation III hacks, despite it never leaving the beta stage. It is also one of the most illegally sold ROM hacks, with many bootleg versions of ShinyGold available as pre-patched ROMs or flashed game paks. ShinyGold's creator, username Zel, included a warning in later editions warning users about this problem and to demand their money back if they had paid for it.<br />
<br />
ShinyGold is one of a number of [[Generation II]] remakes developed by hackers. Other examples include Pokémon LiquidCrystal and Pokémon CrystalDust, both of which include expanded areas and features, amongst others.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny Series===<br />
[[File:Ruby Destiny LoG.png|thumb|200px|[[Surfing]] cinematic in Life of Guardians, and example of the 'side-scrolling' perspective sometimes used in hack games]]<br />
"Pokémon Ruby Destiny" is a popular series of games based on the {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} engine created by [[PokéCommunity]] user destinedJaGold. The series consists of three completed games: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers and Life of Guardians. This series is of particular note, as it is one of the longest running completed hack series available, particularly for its in-depth gameplay and plot. It, like other popular hacks, has even drawn interest from Let's Play creators. The series is also known for incorporating the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy type]] into the Generation III game engine, as well as a user-created "Chaos type", alongside several user-created Pokémon (known as "Fakémon" among fans).<br />
<br />
A fourth game in the series, Broken Timeline, was in development and would've involved the Eon duo, Latias and Latios, but development for the game has since been cancelled due to destinedJaGold losing interest after going through several plot changes to the story and never getting past the beta stage, and since been done with ROM hacking in general.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:Starter Moemon Revival.png|thumb|The Kanto Starters, represented by Moemon]]<br />
"Moemon" (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters", 萌え擬人化 ) is a prominent hack of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect.<br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Naranja.png|thumb|Battling [[Tracey Sketchit]] in Pokémon Naranja]]<br />
"Pokémon Naranja" is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means "orange". {{p|Celebi}} appears as this game's [[Game mascot|mascot]]. This game is based on the [[S02|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], [[Ash's Lapras]], the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]]. This game is particularly well-polished and features a completely overhauled graphical system, and well as many hours of playtime. Other anime-based hacks include the popular Pokémon AshGray, a FireRed-based game depicting Ash's journey through the [[Kanto]] region in the [[original series]].<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon TPP Version===<br />
[[File:TPP Red Anniversary Banner.png|thumb|Boxart banner for the physical cartridge release of Pokémon TPP Version]]<br />
{{main|Twitch Plays Pokémon/Season 2#R01: Pokémon Anniversary Red}}<br />
<br />
"Pokémon TPP Version" is a hack of [[Pokémon Red]] created for the [[Twitch Plays Pokémon#Season 2|Season 2]] opening run of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]] and developed by users pigdevil2010 and EliteAnax17. The hack was based on an earlier [[ROM_hacks#Dex_hacks|Dex hack]] named "Pokémon Red 151" by PokéCommunity user Blue, which featured significant [[level]] increases across the game as well as making all 151 Pokémon catchable in the wild. On top of the previous changes, Pokémon TPP Version includes additional challenges and features, such as [[legendary Pokémon]] respawns, [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] rematches with higher-level teams, and level 100 event battles with [[Professor Oak]] and the original {{ga|Red}} from the first Twitch Plays Pokémon episode. It also includes the Battle Tent, a [[Battle Tower]]-like facility intended for players to earn money without having to repeatedly rebattle the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
This hack is notable as the first ever to be specifically designed for live broadcast, as well as the first to be designed for Twitch Plays Pokémon's unique play style. For example, {{p|Mew}}'s cave (a new post-game bonus dungeon accessible from the area of the [[S.S. Anne]] after pushing the infamous [[S.S. Anne#Rumors|truck]]) is filled with numerous [[hole]]s, making it not too difficult to navigate for a single player but extremely challenging with hundreds or thousands of players controlling the game at once. The game took 39 days in total to complete, with the patch only released after the Twitch community's completion. It is also one of the very few hacks that have been released on a physical cartridge with the hackers' permission as part of a community-led project.<br />
<br />
==Bootleg games==<br />
Whilst technically-speaking these are modifications of published games, the ROM hacking community generally considers these more as "bootlegs" rather than ROM hacks. The main difference being these games were likely designed to trick players into thinking they were official for monetary gain, something which most ROM hackers actively try to avoid. These games were often flashed to third party game paks and sold illegally. Below are some notable examples.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:KDT Power title GBC.png|thumb|left|Title screen of Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Power Version]]<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.png|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond", its bootleg]]<br />
[[File:Fake Jade start.png|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade", its twin]]<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). These games are knock-off versions of the Power and Speed Versions of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, respectively, which were only released in Japan for the [[Game Boy Color]] on November 2000, a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and a month prior to {{game|Crystal}}.<br />
<br />
Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the same cartridge as an illegally produced Pokémon Crystal cartridge but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. It was also mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as "the bootleg and illegally produced Pokémon Jade".<br />
<br />
These bootlegs had numerous bugs that the real games did not have, such as the inability to load a save file properly. The game also contains broken English, profanity, and swearing, which is absent from all official [[Pokémon games]] licensed by [[Nintendo]], with the British Gaming Blog describing the additions as "a healthy dose of Engrish and plenty of swear words."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080708225438/http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=580 British Gaming Blog » Bizarre Bootlegs - The Lighter Side of Piracy] (archived copy)</ref><br />
<br />
The real Telefang games do share conceptual similarities with the real Pokémon games. Whereas in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, players take the role of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels through a specific [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]] to obtain or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Poké Ball]]s and send them out for {{pkmn|battle}}s, in the Telefang games, players take the role of a [http://wiki.telefang.net/T-Fanger T-Fanger] who travels through the Denjū World to befriend creatures called [http://wiki.telefang.net/Denjuu Denjū] and have them battle each other using a device called the [http://wiki.telefang.net/D-Shot D-Shot]. However, unlike Pokémon, Denjū themselves have a D-Shot and call each other to battle. Other similarities between the two game series can be seen in the mechanics of each: the creatures in both share common stats such as HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed; both series have moves or attacks in common, like どくばり ({{m|Poison Sting|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Poison_Sting_(move) Telefang]), とっしん ({{m|Take Down|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Rush_(move) Telefang]), かえんほうしゃ/カエンホウシャ ({{m|Flamethrower|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Flamethrower_(move) Telefang]), or じしん ({{m|Earthquake|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Earthquake_(move) Telefang]), and both series also have natures for their creatures ([[Nature|Pokémon]], [http://wiki.telefang.net/Personality Telefang]), though the effects of moves are not necessarily the same in every case, and natures work differently.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|thumb|left|Title screen of Pokémon Jade 2]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wiki.telefang.net/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to feature official artwork of [[Ethan_(game)|Ethan]] and [[Kris]] from [[Pokémon Crystal]] along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same people. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical bugs. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby", which has no relation to the real one.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
[[File:GO TO THE ELF'S WORLD.png|thumb|A poorly translated version of [[Professor Oak]]'s opening speech; Pokémon are consistently referred to as "elf(s)" throughout the game]]<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from the original Japanese to Chinese to English (and allegedly sold in Vietnam, giving the bootleg its popular name), the dialogue in the game (now {{wp|Engrish}}) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character, and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. The translation is so poor that the game has achieved a cult status, and is the subject of many popular Internet memes. It was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon. Another well-known playthrough is the one by ''[[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]''.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.png|thumb|Screenshot from Pokémon Adventure]]<br />
"Pokémon Adventure" is a bootleg of "Sonic Adventure 7", which itself is a bootleg Sonic game, for [[Game Boy Color]]. Pokémon Adventure is a platformer game in which the player plays as an anthropomorphized version of {{p|Pikachu}}. The only similarities the game has with Pokémon are the main character and the use of [[Poké Ball]]s as a point system, similar to rings in the Sonic franchise. Many of the enemies do not resemble any Pokémon at all.<br />

In recent years, the core series games have begun releasing simultaneously around the world in more languages and as a result the need for language hacks has somewhat diminished. It does still happen for languages that the Pokémon games are not yet available in, most notably [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] prior to [[Generation VII]].<br />
<br />
===Full/complete hacks===<br />
These hacks are complete overhauls of the games, with new characters, plots, regions and features. They often overhaul the game’s graphics, incorporating those seen in later generation games including battle backgrounds, sprites and map tiles. They will regularly include Pokémon, moves and types from later generations, and will sometimes include brand new ones created by the hacker. Some hacks, such as ShinyGold and LiquidCrystal, are remakes of entire previously-released games, in the same way that FireRed and LeafGreen were remakes of Red, Blue and Yellow.<br />
<br />
Because of the extraordinary amount of work involved by a voluntary hacker or hacking team, few of these games are finished in their entirety and are usually playable in the form of a beta. Most of the notable hacks below are considered to be part of this category.<br />
<br />
==Notable core series hacks==<br />
With the release of easy-to-use hacking tools for the core series games, there are thousands of ROM Hacks available. What follows is a few notable examples, each with a brief explanation. <!--RPG Maker created games and fan games do not count as hacks, please double check games before adding in the future--><br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
"Pokémon ShinyGold" was a [[Generation III]] [[remake]] of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} using the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} engine, echoing how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. Whilst not the first of its kind, it is amongst the most well-known Generation III hacks, despite it never leaving the beta stage. It is also one of the most illegally sold ROM hacks, with many bootleg versions of ShinyGold available as pre-patched ROMs or flashed game paks. ShinyGold's creator, username Zel, included a warning in later editions warning users about this problem and to demand their money back if they had paid for it.<br />
<br />
ShinyGold is one of a number of [[Generation II]] remakes developed by hackers. Other examples include Pokémon LiquidCrystal and Pokémon CrystalDust, both of which include expanded areas and features, amongst others.<br />

===Pokémon Ruby Destiny Series===<br />
[[File:Ruby Destiny LoG.png|thumb|200px|[[Surfing]] cinematic in Life of Guardians, and example of the 'side-scrolling' perspective sometimes used in hack games]]<br />
"Pokémon Ruby Destiny" is a popular series of games based on the {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} engine created by [[PokéCommunity]] user destinedJaGold. The series consists of three completed games: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers and Life of Guardians. This series is of particular note, as it is one of the longest running completed hack series available, particularly for its in-depth gameplay and plot. It, like other popular hacks, has even drawn interest from Let's Play creators. The series is also known for incorporating the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy type]] into the Generation III game engine, as well as a user-created "Chaos type", alongside several user-created Pokémon (known as "Fakémon" among fans).<br />
<br />
A fourth game in the series, Broken Timeline, was in development and would've involved the Eon duo, {{Latias}} and {{Latios}}, but development for the game has since been cancelled due to destinedJaGold losing interest after going through several plot changes to the story and never getting past the beta stage, and since been done with ROM hacking in general.<br />

===Moemon===<br />
[[File:Starter Moemon Revival.png|thumb|The Kanto Starters, represented by Moemon]]<br />
"Moemon" (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters", 萌え擬人化 ) is a prominent hack of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect.<br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />

===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Naranja.png|thumb|Battling [[Tracey Sketchit]] in Pokémon Naranja]]<br />
"Pokémon Naranja" is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means "orange". {{p|Celebi}} appears as this game's [[Game mascot|mascot]]. This game is based on the [[S02|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], [[Ash's Lapras]], the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]]. This game is particularly well-polished and features a completely overhauled graphical system, and well as many hours of playtime. Other anime-based hacks include the popular Pokémon AshGray, a FireRed-based game depicting Ash's journey through the [[Kanto]] region in the [[original series]].<br />

===Pokémon TPP Version===<br />
[[File:TPP Red Anniversary Banner.png|thumb|Boxart banner for the physical cartridge release of Pokémon TPP Version]]<br />
{{main|Twitch Plays Pokémon/Season 2#R01: Pokémon Anniversary Red}}<br />
<br />
"Pokémon TPP Version" is a hack of [[Pokémon Red]] created for the [[Twitch Plays Pokémon#Season 2|Season 2]] opening run of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]] and developed by users pigdevil2010 and EliteAnax17. The hack was based on an earlier [[ROM_hacks#Dex_hacks|Dex hack]] named "Pokémon Red 151" by PokéCommunity user Blue, which featured significant [[level]] increases across the game as well as making all 151 Pokémon catchable in the wild. On top of the previous changes, Pokémon TPP Version includes additional challenges and features, such as [[legendary Pokémon]] respawns, [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] rematches with higher-level teams, and level 100 event battles with [[Professor Oak]] and the original {{ga|Red}} from the first Twitch Plays Pokémon episode. It also includes the Battle Tent, a [[Battle Tower]]-like facility intended for players to earn money without having to repeatedly rebattle the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
This hack is notable as the first ever to be specifically designed for live broadcast, as well as the first to be designed for Twitch Plays Pokémon's unique play style. For example, {{p|Mew}}'s cave (a new post-game bonus dungeon accessible from the area of the [[S.S. Anne]] after pushing the infamous [[S.S. Anne#Rumors|truck]]) is filled with numerous [[hole]]s, making it not too difficult to navigate for a single player but extremely challenging with hundreds or thousands of players controlling the game at once. The game took 39 days in total to complete, with the patch only released after the Twitch community's completion. It is also one of the very few hacks that have been released on a physical cartridge with the hackers' permission as part of a community-led project.<br />
<br />
==Bootleg games==<br />
Whilst technically-speaking these are modifications of published games, the ROM hacking community generally considers these more as "bootlegs" rather than ROM hacks. The main difference being these games were likely designed to trick players into thinking they were official for monetary gain, something which most ROM hackers actively try to avoid. These games were often flashed to third party game paks and sold illegally. Below are some notable examples.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:KDT Power title GBC.png|thumb|left|Title screen of Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Power Version]]<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.png|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond", its bootleg]]<br />
[[File:Fake Jade start.png|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade", its twin]]<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). These games are knock-off versions of the Power and Speed Versions of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, respectively, which were only released in Japan for the [[Game Boy Color]] on November 2000, a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and a month prior to {{game|Crystal}}.<br />
<br />
Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the same cartridge as an illegally produced Pokémon Crystal cartridge but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. It was also mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as "the bootleg and illegally produced Pokémon Jade".<br />
<br />
These bootlegs had numerous bugs that the real games did not have, such as the inability to load a save file properly. The game also contains broken English, profanity, and swearing, which is absent from all official [[Pokémon games]] licensed by [[Nintendo]], with the British Gaming Blog describing the additions as "a healthy dose of Engrish and plenty of swear words."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080708225438/http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=580 British Gaming Blog » Bizarre Bootlegs - The Lighter Side of Piracy] (archived copy)</ref><br />
<br />
The real Telefang games do share conceptual similarities with the real Pokémon games. Whereas in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, players take the role of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels through a specific [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]] to obtain or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Poké Ball]]s and send them out for {{pkmn|battle}}s, in the Telefang games, players take the role of a [http://wiki.telefang.net/T-Fanger T-Fanger] who travels through the Denjū World to befriend creatures called [http://wiki.telefang.net/Denjuu Denjū] and have them battle each other using a device called the [http://wiki.telefang.net/D-Shot D-Shot]. However, unlike Pokémon, Denjū themselves have a D-Shot and call each other to battle. Other similarities between the two game series can be seen in the mechanics of each: the creatures in both share common stats such as HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed; both series have moves or attacks in common, like どくばり ({{m|Poison Sting|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Poison_Sting_(move) Telefang]), とっしん ({{m|Take Down|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Rush_(move) Telefang]), かえんほうしゃ/カエンホウシャ ({{m|Flamethrower|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Flamethrower_(move) Telefang]), or じしん ({{m|Earthquake|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Earthquake_(move) Telefang]), and both series also have natures for their creatures ([[Nature|Pokémon]], [http://wiki.telefang.net/Personality Telefang]), though the effects of moves are not necessarily the same in every case, and natures work differently.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|thumb|left|Title screen of Pokémon Jade 2]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wiki.telefang.net/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to feature official artwork of [[Ethan_(game)|Ethan]] and [[Kris]] from [[Pokémon Crystal]] along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same people. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical bugs. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby", which has no relation to the real one.<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
[[File:GO TO THE ELF'S WORLD.png|thumb|A poorly translated version of [[Professor Oak]]'s opening speech; Pokémon are consistently referred to as "elf(s)" throughout the game]]<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from the original Japanese to Chinese to English (and allegedly sold in Vietnam, giving the bootleg its popular name), the dialogue in the game (now {{wp|Engrish}}) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character, and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. The translation is so poor that the game has achieved a cult status, and is the subject of many popular Internet memes. It was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon. Another well-known playthrough is the one by ''[[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]''.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.png|thumb|Screenshot from Pokémon Adventure]]<br />
"Pokémon Adventure" is a bootleg of "Sonic Adventure 7", which itself is a bootleg Sonic game, for [[Game Boy Color]]. Pokémon Adventure is a platformer game in which the player plays as an anthropomorphized version of {{p|Pikachu}}. The only similarities the game has with Pokémon are the main character and the use of [[Poké Ball]]s as a point system, similar to rings in the Sonic franchise. Many of the enemies do not resemble any Pokémon at all.<br />

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latios''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Latiosite}}.<br />
<br />
It is a member of the [[eon duo]] of [[Hoenn]] along with {{p|Latias}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Latios is a bird-like, dragon Pokémon with an aerodynamic body. The lower half of its body is blue with jet-plane wings and fin-like feet. It has a red triangular marking on its chest. By tucking its wings and forelimbs, it can fly faster than a jet. It has white and blue arms that can be tucked into its body. The upper-half of its body is white. It has triangular ears and a blue face with a white oval in the middle. Latios is a male only species; {{p|Latias}} is the female counterpart.<br />
<br />
[[M05|In the fifth movie]], Latios had the ability "Sight Sharing" (Japanese: '''ゆめうつし''' ''Dream Analysis'') which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. [[Oakley]] also mentioned that it can shape-shift. It prefers compassionate Trainers, to whom it opens its heart. It uses telepathy to detect locations and the emotions of others, and can understand human speech. It lives by the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}. Latios is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Luster Purge}}.<br />
<br />

Latios ended up sacrificing itself to save [[Alto Mare]] from an enormous tidal wave.<br />
<br />
====Other====<br />
A Latios also appeared in ''[[PK16|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'' where, along with Latias, it used its powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}} and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "{{p|Wailord}}'s Tear" beneath the ocean.<br />

Latios, along with Latias, was befriended by {{adv|Emerald}}, and took the young Trainer to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. It later helped [[Todd Snap]] watch the events going on on top of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pyramid}}, as well as verify the true identity of [[Guile Hideout]]. After the villain's defeat, it goes back to the [[Southern Island]] with Latias, having accomplished their mission.<br />
<br />
Latios returned with Latias in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} where it had the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Latios. {{adv|Ruby}} brought him along while [[Soaring in the sky]].<br />

==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:Latias and Latios SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Latias and Latios in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br />
After Latios appears from its [[Poké Ball]], it will fly off the stage. It and Latias will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}}, damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.<br />
<br />
====Trophy Information====<br />
Latios appears with its counterpart, Latias.<br />
<br />
''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===<br />
Latios returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Steel Wing to quickly fly across the stage several times to damage targets.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
Latios once again shares its trophy with its female counterpart.<br />
<br />
'''NA''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon/Psychic-type Pokémon. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. By folding in their arms, they can fly faster than fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing.''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon- and Psychic-types. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. Be folding their arms in, they become super aerodynamic and can fly faster then fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing. ''<br />

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If blue is selected Latios roams Hoenn and Latias is found at the island. If red is selected, Latios is found at the island and Latias roams Hoenn.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Latios and {{p|Latias}} were the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to have [[gender]]s.<br />
*Latios shares the same {{pkmn|category}} with its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.<br />
*In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the item Eon Flute can be used to [[Soaring in the sky|fly around Hoenn]] on the back of a Mega Latios/{{p|Latias}}.<br />
* Despite being Legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latios and {{p|Latias}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.<br />
** However, when either Latios or Latias are found in the wild, the pre-battle encounter animation is different than those of ordinary Pokémon, as it is a distorting screen.<br />
*Latios (along with {{p|Latias}}) are the only Legendary Pokemon that have a Mega Stone that was not available to obtain legitimately in Pokemon X & Y through in-game game play, but can be traded over from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire holding their respective stone to Pokemon X & Y.<br />
* The triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latios has the same color as the main body of its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}, even when {{Shiny}}.<br />
* With the [[Soul Dew]], Latios achieves the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, even exceeding that of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Mewtwo|Mewtwo Y}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Latios appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and {{p|Latias}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. They may also be based upon the {{wp|Aeon#In Gnosticism|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their {{pkmn|category}} is "Eon." Latias and Latios are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|junglefowl}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Latios may derive from ''latere'' ({{wp|Latin}} for "to lie hidden"). ''Os'' as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more masculine, opposite the more feminine-sounding ''as'' in {{p|Latias}}.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エルレイド''' ''Erureido'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fighting}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[Gender|male]] {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}}. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gardevoir}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gallade''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Galladite}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Gallade is a white, bipedal Pokémon. Its lower body consists of rounded hips with strong legs. It has a thin green torso with sharp, red horns sticking out of its chest and back. Its arms are shaped like {{wp|tonfa}}s with extendable blades in its elbows. It will use its arms like swords in order to protect someone. Its head resembles a gladiator's helmet with a white face and a teal head crest. It has spikes on the sides of its face. It is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship that is capable of predicting its foe’s moves.<br />
<br />
As Mega Gallade, red plates emerge on its arms, and the helmet and cape-like protrusions on its head and back give it a knightly appearance. When the situation demands, Mega Gallade can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades simultaneously, and fight using a dual-wielding style. Its upper body becomes white, and the spikes on its head elongate.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of Gardevoir's.<br />
* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 160.<br />
* Gallade is tied with {{p|Scrafty}} for the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} base stat of all non-Legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.<br />
* Mega Gallade has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all non-legendary {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.<br />
* Gallade is the only Fighting-type to be able to learn Dazzling Gleam via TM.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|murmillo}}-class Roman {{wp|gladiator}}s, or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} with a horsehair crest worn by Greek {{wp|hoplite}}s. It may also be based on medieval {{wp|knight}}s. Additionally, its battle stances in various media resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of modern {{wp|fencing}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Gallade may be a combination of ''gallant'' and ''blade''. It may also involve Sir ''{{wp|Galahad}}'', a knight of {{wp|King Arthur|Arthurian legend}}.<br />
<br />
Erureido may be a combination of ''{{wp|earl}}'' (in antiquity, a chieftain or military leader; in present day, a rank in the {{wp|Peerage|British nobility}}) or ''elbow'' and ''blade'', referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms. It may also derive from ''{{wp|ballad}}'' (a type of French poetry), in accordance with the musical origin of {{p|Ralts}} and the French {{p|Gardevoir}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjū Telefang]. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime. Major moments and aspects from the anime are present, like the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the meeting with Flint in Pewter City, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, and more. The nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Rising===<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokémon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokémon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Dark Rising 2====<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues their search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokémon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains Gen VI Pokémon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Flora Sky===<br />
Pokémon Flora Sky is a Swedish hack of Emerald Version which takes place in a heavily modified region, still called the Hoenn region. It features a heavily modified version of Emerald's storyline along with features from the 4th generation and 5th generation games including honey trees and a digging mini game, as well as 4th and 5th generation Pokémon and characters. The game also has a sizeable post-game storyline and then a series of sidequests, mostly involving legendary Pokémon. Two versions of this game were released, the original version and the Complement Dex Version which contains different Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Marble====<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon RijonAdventures===<br />
Pokémon RijonAdventures is a hack of FireRed Version which is a remake/sequel of Brown version. Set once again in the Rijon region it takes place 20 years after Brown and 15 years after Prism and features the children of the protagonist and rival from Brown on a new adventure, not just in Rijon but also in a new region called South Rijon.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, which was created on August 22nd, 2007, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The second game in the series is titled Rescue Rangers, which was created March 13th, 2008, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, which was created near the end of 2008 on December 16th, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game. The game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Elemental Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization, who causes havoc across Hevah, and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
The fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, which creation began November 30th, 2013. The story centers around the events after Life of Guardians, in which Chaomega is about to merge the two timelines together, since the Dragon Gods of Hevah disappeared since there are no Guardian Trainer to use as a vessel to keep them alive. The main protagonist, a Latios or Latias depending on the gender selected and in human form, are tasked to search for Lugia and Ho-Oh in Kanto and Johto to see if they are prepared for the merge but are nowhere to be found, as are Mewtwo and Celebi. Despite this, Chaomega merges the timelines together, only for Arceus to appear, upset with Chaomega's actions and the player is forced into a battle against Arceus in which they lose. The player then wakes up as a new Trainer getting ready to begin their journey.<br />
<br />
The game is unique than the other three titles as the player is able to choose which region they can start in. They start in either Kanto, Johto, Gento, Hevah, and the Crest region. The game also features other elements from newer titles, such as Physical/Special split from Generation IV, new attacks that don't replace existing ones, a few Fakemon from the previous game, new music with some from the previous title, and Pokémon from Generations IV, V, and VI, along with the Fairy-type and the new Chaos-type.<br />
<br />
The game is currently in its first Beta, which was released September 17th 2014, allowing up to 2 or 3 Gyms to be battled, depending on which region the player chose.<br />
<br />
DJG decided to go back and try to fix some of the bugs in the first three games, while still allowing other hackers to modify the game they see fit, stating he will try to fix some bugs that were game breaking and were difficult to fix at the time, such as replacing the old sprites in Reign of Legends with the newer DS-style Pokémon sprites that were put together thanks to Chaos-Rush, and fixing the region map has it has been an issue since the hack was completed in 2007.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2====<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, {{wp|Butterfly (Smile.dk song)|"butterfly"}}, "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjū Telefang]. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime. Major moments and aspects from the anime are present, like the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the meeting with Flint in Pewter City, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, and more. The nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Rising===<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokémon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokémon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Dark Rising 2====<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues their search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokémon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains Gen VI Pokémon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Flora Sky===<br />
Pokémon Flora Sky is a Swedish hack of Emerald Version which takes place in a heavily modified region, still called the Hoenn region. It features a heavily modified version of Emerald's storyline along with features from the 4th generation and 5th generation games including honey trees and a digging mini game, as well as 4th and 5th generation Pokémon and characters. The game also has a sizeable post-game storyline and then a series of sidequests, mostly involving legendary Pokémon. Two versions of this game were released, the original version and the Complement Dex Version which contains different Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Marble====<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon RijonAdventures===<br />
Pokémon RijonAdventures is a hack of FireRed Version which is a remake/sequel of Brown version. Set once again in the Rijon region it takes place 20 years after Brown and 15 years after Prism and features the children of the protagonist and rival from Brown on a new adventure, not just in Rijon but also in a new region called South Rijon.<br />

===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />

<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The second game in the series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game. The game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Elemental Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization, who causes havoc across Hevah, and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
The fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline. The story centers around the events after Life of Guardians, in which Chaomega is about to merge the two timelines together, since the Dragon Gods of Hevah disappeared since there are no Guardian Trainer to use as a vessel to keep them alive. The main protagonist, a Latios or Latias depending on the gender selected and in human form, are tasked to search for Lugia and Ho-Oh in Kanto and Johto to see if they are prepared for the merge but are nowhere to be found, as are Mewtwo and Celebi. Despite this, Chaomega merges the timelines together, only for Arceus to appear, upset with Chaomega's actions and the player is forced into a battle against Arceus in which they lose. The player then wakes up as a new Trainer getting ready to begin their journey.<br />
<br />
The game is unique than the other three titles as the player is able to choose which region they can start in. They start in either Kanto, Johto, Gento, Hevah, and the Crest region. The game also features other elements from newer titles, such as Physical/Special split from Generation IV, new attacks that don't replace existing ones, a few Fakemon from the previous game, new music with some from the previous title, and Pokémon from Generations IV, V, and VI, along with the Fairy-type and the new Chaos-type.<br />
<br />
The game is currently in its first Beta, allowing up to 2 or 3 Gyms to be battled, depending on which region the player chose.<br />
<br />
DJG decided to go back and try to fix some of the bugs in the first three games, while still allowing other hackers to modify the game they see fit, stating he will try to fix some bugs that were game breaking and were difficult to fix at the time, such as replacing the old sprites in Reign of Legends with the newer DS-style Pokémon sprites that were put together thanks to Chaos-Rush, and fixing the region map has it has been an issue since the hack was completed in 2007.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2====<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, {{wp|Butterfly (Smile.dk song)|"butterfly"}}, "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjū Telefang]. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime. Major moments and aspects from the anime are present, like the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the meeting with Flint in Pewter City, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, and more. The nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Rising===<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokémon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokémon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Dark Rising 2====<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues their search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokémon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains Gen VI Pokémon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Flora Sky===<br />
Pokémon Flora Sky is a Swedish hack of Emerald Version which takes place in a heavily modified region, still called the Hoenn region. It features a heavily modified version of Emerald's storyline along with features from the 4th generation and 5th generation games including honey trees and a digging mini game, as well as 4th and 5th generation Pokémon and characters. The game also has a sizeable post-game storyline and then a series of sidequests, mostly involving legendary Pokémon. Two versions of this game were released, the original version and the Complement Dex Version which contains different Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Marble====<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon RijonAdventures===<br />
Pokémon RijonAdventures is a hack of FireRed Version which is a remake/sequel of Brown version. Set once again in the Rijon region it takes place 20 years after Brown and 15 years after Prism and features the children of the protagonist and rival from Brown on a new adventure, not just in Rijon but also in a new region called South Rijon.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The second game in the series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game. The game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Elemental Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization, who causes havoc across Hevah, and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
The fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline. The story centers around the events after Life of Guardians, in which Chaomega is about to merge the two timelines together, since the Dragon Gods of Hevah disappeared since there are no Guardian Trainer to use as a vessel to keep them alive. The main protagonist, a Latios or Latias depending on the gender selected and in human form, are tasked to search for Lugia and Ho-Oh in Kanto and Johto to see if they are prepared for the merge but are nowhere to be found, as are Mewtwo and Celebi. Despite this, Chaomega merges the timelines together, only for Arceus to appear, upset with Chaomega's actions and the player is forced into a battle against Arceus in which they lose. The player then wakes up as a new Trainer getting ready to begin their journey.<br />
<br />
The game is unique than the other three titles as the player is able to choose which region they can start in. They start in either Kanto, Johto, Gento, Hevah, and the Crest region. The game also features other elements from newer titles, such as Physical/Special split from Generation IV, new attacks that don't replace existing ones, a few Fakemon from the previous game, new music with some from the previous title, and Pokémon from Generations IV, V, and VI, along with the Fairy-type and the new Chaos-type.<br />
<br />
The game is currently in its first Beta, allowing up to 2 or 3 Gyms to be battled, depending on which region the player chose.<br />
<br />
DJG decided to go back and try to fix some of the bugs in the first three games, while still allowing other hackers to modify the game they see fit, stating he will try to fix some bugs that were game breaking and were difficult to fix at the time, such as replacing the old sprites in Reign of Legends with the newer DS-style Pokémon spirits that were put together thanks to Chaos-Rush, and fixing the region map has it has been an issue since the hack was completed in 2007.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2====<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, {{wp|Butterfly (Smile.dk song)|"butterfly"}}, "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjū Telefang]. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both [[Route 101]] and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime. Major moments and aspects from the anime are present, like the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the meeting with Flint in Pewter City, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, and more. The nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Rising===<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokémon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokémon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Dark Rising 2====<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues their search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokémon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains Gen VI Pokémon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Marble====<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game. The game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Elemental Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization, who causes havoc across Hevah, and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games. The Eon duo, Latios and Latias, seem to have a major plot to the hack as well.<br />
<br />
Recently, DJG decided to go back and try to fix some of the bugs in the first three games, while still allowing other hackers to modify the game they see fit, stating he will try to fix some bugs that were game breaking and were difficult to fix at the time.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2====<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, {{wp|Butterfly (Smile.dk song)|"butterfly"}}, "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjū Telefang]. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both [[Route 101]] and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime. Major moments and aspects from the anime are present, like the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the meeting with Flint in Pewter City, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, and more. The nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Rising===<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokémon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokémon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Dark Rising 2====<br />
Pokémon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues their search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokémon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains Gen VI Pokémon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/wiki/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Marble====<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game, the game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Elemental Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization, who causes havoc across Hevah, and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games. The Eon duo, Latios and Latias, seem to have a major plot to the hack as well.<br />
<br />
Recently, DJG decided to go back and try to fix some of the bugs in the first three games, while still allowing other hackers to modify the game they see fit, stating he will try to fix some bugs that were game breaking and were difficult to fix at the time.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2====<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, {{wp|Butterfly (Smile.dk song)|"butterfly"}}, "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

[[File:1997 Pokemon2 Logo.png|right|thumb|The original logo of ''Pocket Monsters 2'']]<br />
The development cycle of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 elsewhere, is probably the most discussed and researched of all releases in the [[core series]] games during the history of the franchise. A relatively broad amount of official material in combination with later investigations reveal a lot of details about incomplete and unreleased elements. Several aspects from the development stages are proof of the over two-year period in which [[Game Freak]] undertook with the sequels to the [[Generation I]] games.<br />
<br />
==Pre-release==<br />
===First mention of ''Pocket Monsters 2''===<br />
In 1997, [[Nintendo]] announced the first details about the then-next [[generation]] of [[core series|Pocket Monsters]] games, to be titled '''''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold & Silver''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター２ 金・銀'''). The games were intended to be released at the end of the year for the original [[Game Boy]], while supporting the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements that the [[Generation I]] games have.<br />
<br />
One of the many notable additions promised was a skateboard that could be used in addition to the [[Bicycle]] of the previous games, and which would allow the {{player}} to travel to "unusual places". Though this never appeared in the released game, other things announced, such as the [[time]] system with its {{wp|real-time clock}}, as well as {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}}, including [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions of old Pokémon]], and new [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s containing new [[move]]s, were included. The communication abilities of the games were also to be improved, and [[Time Capsule|backwards compatibility]] with the Generation I games was also announced.<br />
<br />
A 1997 edition of ''MicroGroup Game Review'' showcased some [[prototype Pokémon and characters]] that were later scrapped.<br />
<br />
Sprites of {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Slowking}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also released, using the [[Super Game Boy]] palettes.<br />
<br />
Concept art of {{ga|Silver}}, {{p|Ledyba}} and the opening cutscene of the games was also published.<br />
<br />

<br />
===New Pokémon in the anime===<br />
The {{pkmn|anime}} also provided early peeks at the new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the eventual [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}}, appeared in the [[EP001|first episode]]. Later, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} {{Ash}} himself found, and [[Misty]] became the first main character to own a [[Generation II]] Pokémon. {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Marill}} made their first appearances in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', and {{p|Donphan}} appeared at the start of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. During [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|the second season]] of the English dub, Ash and Misty also encountered {{Tracey}}, who owned a {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}; {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, the version mascot of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, was the focus of [[M02|the second movie]], in which {{p|Slowking}} also appeared. {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, and {{p|Elekid}} also made an appearance in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.<br />
<br />
===First screenshots===<br />
The color scheme in these screenshots corresponds to the [[Super Game Boy]] palettes, as the games hadn't been developed with the [[Game Boy Color]] in mind yet. It also sported the palette-swapping functionality that is also present in the [[Generation I]] games.<br />
<br />
At this time, the initial game screenshots released didn't look all that much different from the Generation I games. The pictures clearly show the games' engine being in a more developed, but still early, stage. The lack of {{pkmn|battle}} screenshots would seem to indicate that a redone battle system had not been implemented yet.<br />
<br />
As can be seen on one of the screenshots, {{m|Whirlpool|whirlpools}} were originally randomly interspersed across [[Route|sea routes]] to serve as obstacles.<br />
<br />
On some other screenshots of different stages of development, part of a city resembling [[Ecruteak City]] is seen. Whether it was an actual prototype of Ecruteak City, or a completely distinct location, is not known.<br />
<br />
A screenshot depicting an earlier design for the [[Pokémon Center]] also shows an [[Unown]] ruin on the upper-right corner, which was possibly related to the [[Ruins of Alph]], or an equivalent location at that point in development.<br />
<br />
A simplified version of the northwestern-most section of {{rt|35|Johto}}, near the [[gate]] to [[National Park]], also appeared on one of the screenshots. The differences from the final design of the route include water instead of trees and fences, with the path to the right not being open.<br />
<br />
Another screenshot also depicts possible prototypes of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], as well as of a gate-- possibly the gate that leads to Route 35, or rather, the [[Magnet Train]] station in [[Goldenrod City]].<br />

<br />
===Delayed release===<br />
[[File:1998 Pokemon GS Logo.png|right|thumb|The second logo of ''Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver'', with the number 2 being dropped from the title]]<br />
The end of 1997 passed without a release for ''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold & Silver''. The potential release date was removed, and things generally stayed quiet until March 1998, where it was officially announced that the release would be delayed.<br />
<br />
It was at this time that the games were re-announced as '''''Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver'''''. Though the number 2 was dropped, the games remained as sequels to the [[Generation I]] games. Much of the year was quiet with regard to information about the games, as {{game3|Yellow|''Pocket Monsters: Pikachu''}} was on its way out in Japan, and {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the {{pkmn|anime|Pokémon anime}} were on their way to the United States.<br />
{{-}}<br />
===More information===<br />
[[File:1999 Pokemon Gold Logo.png|right|thumb|The final logo for {{game3|Gold and Silver|''Pocket Monsters: Gold''|s}}]]<br />
[[File:1999 Pokemon Silver Logo.png|right|thumb|The final logo for {{game3|Gold and Silver|''Pocket Monsters: Silver''|s}}]]<br />
Following nearly a year without press releases, the [[Nintendo]] of Japan website was finally updated with new information on {{game3|Gold and Silver|''Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver''|s}}. A revised release date of June 1999 was given and it was announced the games would be compatible with the then soon-to-be-released [[Game Boy Color]].<br />
<br />
[[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork for {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Hoothoot}} was also released, as were several screenshots of the new {{pkmn|battle}} system, featuring fully-colored sprites.<br />
<br />
The battle screens are very similar to the final ones, but the absence of [[gender]] notation is apparent. {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} gender was a previously announced feature, and the graphical indicator of the gender during battle was likely added later as a convenience to {{player}}s.<br />
<br />
The [[move]] [[stats]] screen, which, in the final release, shows players the remaining and total amount of [[Power points|PP]] for each move, as well as its [[type]], was apparently not fully completed at this point in development.<br />
<br />
The battle system, nearly complete, was demonstrated, including [[wild Pokémon]] encounters. The new [[Pokédex]], while close to completion, was still missing several features, such as the [[footprint]] and [[National Pokédex]] number of the Pokémon. The location, [[cry]], and printing functions were also missing.<br />
<br />
The screenshots released look very similar to the actual footage of the final release. The locations shown do not appear to be part of the final map, though they look similar.<br />

<br />
==Post-release==<br />
Since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released, other things have been uncovered that reveal interesting details about their development.<br />
<br />
===Locations===<br />
The final releases have a large number of incomplete maps that detail what most [[Johto]] towns looked like during the development stages. Some data pertaining to [[Kanto]] locations that are not available is also present.<br />
<br />
====Ecruteak Pharmacy====<br />
[[File:Olivine beta house.png|thumb|right|Inside the unused house in Olivine City]]<br />
Another complete map is a house in [[Olivine City]], where a woman refers to a pharmacy in [[Ecruteak City]] instead of [[Cianwood City]] on both Japanese and English releases. This possibly suggests that the pharmacy was originally planned for Ecruteak City. Oddly enough, she has a {{p|Rhydon}} inside her house, which uses a bugged overworld sprite that intermittently changes between its own and the one resembling a {{p|Clefairy}}.<br />
<br />
The following text is from the woman's speech:<br />
<br />
;Japanese<br />
<blockquote>あたしの ポケモンが びょうきに なったときは エンジュの クスリやさんに クスリを つくって もらったの</blockquote><br />
<br />
;English<br />
<blockquote>When my <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> got sick, the <sc>Pharmacist</sc> in <sc>Ecruteak</sc> made some medicine for me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Interacting with the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s overworld sprite will yield:<br />
<br />
;Japanese<br />
<blockquote>サイドン『ぐごーおお！</blockquote><br />
<br />
;English<br />
<blockquote><sc>Rhydon</sc>: Gugooh!</blockquote><br />
<br />
====Safari Zone====<br />
One of the most complete prototype maps found in their internal data is a rough version of the {{safari|Kanto}}. Surprisingly, it has several of its attributes defined, such as music, connections to [[Fuchsia City]] and even [[wild Pokémon]] found by [[fishing]] in a small pool in the area, which other prototype maps do not have. The Safari Zone also appears in the internal list of [[Pokégear]] map locations, along with [[Viridian Forest]], [[Cerulean Cave]], and {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Lab====<br />
Full maps without events programmed in exist for the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]], indicating that Cinnabar Island was originally planned to make an appearance without the erupted volcano, or at least that the Lab was going to remain.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Graphics===<br />
A mine cart image was discovered on the cave tilesets. The player character's early sprites, which depict {{ga|Ethan|him}} without his [[Bag]], are still present in the games' code as well.<br />
<br />
===Events===<br />
An unused event script, complete with text, was discovered.<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/entei-event/ Entei Event]</ref> In it, a different event for a level 40 {{p|Entei}}, analogous to the birds in [[Generation I]], was planned. The script consists of three events: output text on-screen, play Entei's [[cry]] and initiate a {{pkmn|battle}} with a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] [[level]] 40 Entei. The output text is: "''<sc>Entei</sc>: Bufuu!''"<br />
<br />
This unused event was removed from {{game|Crystal}}.<br />
<br />
There are also unused text strings for an event related to the [[Burned Tower]], where someone's daughter was missing.<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/ecruteak-daughter/ Ecruteak Daughter]</ref> It is possible that this event made its final debut as the missing granddaughter in the [[S.S. Aqua]].<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Oh, no. Oh, no&hellip;<br>My daughter is missing.<br>No&hellip; She couldn't have gone to the <sc>Burned Tower</sc>. I told her not to go near it&hellip; People seem to disappear there&hellip;<br>Oh, what should I do&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
===Sweet Honey===<br />
Several text strings refer to <sc>Sweet Honey</sc>, suggesting that [[Honey]] was originally planned for the [[Generation II]] games. It eventually made its debut in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>My <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> is an expert at collecting <sc>Sweet Honey</sc>.</blockquote><br />
<br />
If the unidentified [[Non-player character|NPC]] were to give Sweet Honey to the {{player}}:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I'll share some with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
If the player did not have enough room in {{ga|Ethan|his}} [[Bag]]:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I want to give you some <sc>Sweet Honey</sc>, but you have no room for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
If the player had room in the Bag:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Here you go! Have some <sc>Sweet Honey</sc>!<br><br>{Player} received <sc>Sweet Honey</sc>.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Other text related to Sweet Honey includes:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>My little brother takes <sc>Sweet Honey</sc> and goes somewhere with it.<br>I wonder what he's up to?<br><br>Did you put <sc>Sweet Honey</sc> on a tree? What happened to it?<br><br>Did you put <sc>Sweet Honey</sc> on a tree? It takes about a day for <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> to be drawn to it.<br><br><sc>Butterfree</sc>: Freeh!</blockquote><br />
<br />
===Naming the mother===<br />
Data, including text strings, remain for yet another forgotten feature: the ability to name the {{player}}'s [[Mom|mother]]. Space is reserved in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} for two other names as well, which default to <sc>Red</sc> and <sc>Green</sc>&mdash;the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} and his {{ga|Blue|rival}} from the [[Generation I]] games.<br />
<br />
===Bird type===<br />
The {{t|Bird}} type from the [[Generation I]] games remains in the internal data. This is presumed to be a carryover from the Generation I games' engine, as {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were developed on an upgraded version of it.<br />
<br />
===Items===<br />
The [[Town Map]] and [[Poké Flute]] from the [[Generation I]] games are also present. Both are named [[Teru-sama]] (Japanese: カビチュウ ''Kabichū'') and are otherwise unusable. However, if their data is modified so that the <sc>Use</sc> option in the [[Bag]] appears, the Poké Flute will still function, and the Town Map will attempt to, but fail, as the data it would access was relocated or removed altogether.<br />
<br />
===Cal===<br />
There is unused {{pkmn|battle}} data for {{ga|Cal}}, the default opponent at the [[Trainer House]]. There are two parties&mdash;one with the initial [[evolution]]ary stages of the [[Johto]] starters and one with their second evolutionary stages. As [[Viridian City]] and its Trainer House cannot be legally accessed until much later in the {{player}}'s adventure, it is unknown what purpose these parties would have served.<br />
<br />
===Game Corner===<br />
A second card-flipping [[Game Corner]] game was planned.<br />
<br />
===Status Prevention Items===<br />
Located in the code of ''Gold'', ''Silver'', and ''Crystal'' are six unused hold items that would have prevented the Pokémon holding it from being inflicted with a status effect. <br />
<br />
These items work perfectly except burned and frozen. While they still create the correct effect, the other four bring up the text "(Pokémon)'s protected by (item)!" These items aren't consumed after use, so they can be used indefinitely, much like the Leftovers. Burn and Freeze simply do the effect without telling the player anything. <br />
<br />
It is unknown why these were left out, as it is likely these items are the precursor to [[abilities]] introduced in Generation III that would prevent certain status effects, such as [[Immunity]] and [[Insomnia]].<br />

[[it:Pokémon Oro e Argento beta]]</div>RPD490https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=ROM_hack&diff=2118717ROM hack2014-05-14T18:41:00Z<p>RPD490: /* Pokémon Dark Violet */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of [[Pokémon Crystal]]. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both [[Route 101]] and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime, with the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, the nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang|Keitai Denjū Telefang 2}}. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Violet===<br />
Pokémon Dark Violet is a total conversion for FireRed and a complete re-imagining of Pokémon Red and Green, created by Chaos Rush. According to Chaos Rush, Dark Violet is how ''he'' would remake them and is completely different from FireRed and LeafGreen. The story centers around Red, Blue and Green, three teenagers, two from Pallet Town and one from Viridian City respectively, preparing to set off on their Pokémon journey. The game features 210 Pokémon, both from Kanto and Johto, as well as a few from Sinnoh, with new sprites created by Chaos Rush based around their DS sprites, new tilesets that are based around HeartGold and SoulSilver, 113 new moves added, some from Generation IV, V and new custom ones that don't replace the old moves, as the old moves come with new animations. Generation IV's Physical/Special split was implemented, new remixed music that is based around the HGSS versions, as well as custom ones for important characters such as Red/Green having a custom theme, similar to Brendan and May in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as changing the overworld sprites for all the characters into R/S/E styled ones, and Blue and Red/Green have a custom battle theme, as well as adding in Team Rocket's battle theme when they are encountered. Team Rocket also has more relevance to the game's plot, as well as the rival from Gold, Silver and Crystal, named Kamon, can be battled as he is set to destroy Team Rocket himself, and the Executives that were properly introduced in HGSS are encountered and fought as well. The game's difficulty also has increased making it more challenging, as well as bring a new experience to the game's story. The game is currently at Beta 2.1, with the game going as far as doing the Silph Co. plot and defeating Sabrina. Chaos Rush stated the next version will be the completed game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Marble====<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game, the game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Guardian Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games.<br />
<br />
While DJG stated he now no longer supports the first three games, hackers are free to make modifications to the games as they see fit.<br />
<br />
===Pokemon Dark Rising===<br />
http://coolrom.com/screenshots/gba/Pokemon%20Dark%20Rising%20%28Hack%29.jpg http://coolrom.com/screenshots/gba/Pokemon%20Dark%20Rising%20%28Hack%29%20(2).jpg<br />
<br>Pokemon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokemon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokemon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokemon Dark Rising 2====<br />
http://i50.tinypic.com/2n6ax3s.png http://oi39.tinypic.com/2ewjzex.jpg<br />
<br>Pokemon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues his/her search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokemon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains GenVI Pokemon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2====<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, "butterfly", "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
This game was mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as an illegal bootleg game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492 Pokécommunity - [Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]]</ref> It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of [[Pokémon Crystal]]. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both [[Route 101]] and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref><br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime, with the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, the nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang|Keitai Denjū Telefang 2}}. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Dark Violet===<br />
Pokémon Dark Violet is a total conversion for FireRed and a complete re-imagining of Pokémon Red and Green, created by Chaos Rush. According to Chaos Rush, Dark Violet is how ''he'' would remake them and is completely different from FireRed and LeafGreen. The story centers around Red, Blue and Green, three teenagers, two from Pallet Town and one from Viridian City respectively, preparing to set off on their Pokémon journey. The game features 210 Pokémon, both from Kanto and Johto, with new sprites created by Chaos Rush based around their DS sprites, new tilesets that are based around HeartGold and SoulSilver, 113 new moves added, some from Generation IV, V and new custom ones that don't replace the old moves, as the old moves come with new animations. Generation IV's Physical/Special split was implemented, new remixed music that is based around the HGSS versions, as well as custom ones for important characters such as Red/Green having a custom theme, similar to Brendan and May in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as changing the overworld sprites for all the characters into R/S/E styled ones, and Blue and Red/Green have a custom battle theme, as well as adding in Team Rocket's battle theme when they are encountered. Team Rocket also has more relevance to the game's plot, as well as the rival from Gold, Silver and Crystal, named Kamon, can be battled as he is set to destroy Team Rocket himself, and the Executives that were properly introduced in HGSS are encountered and fought as well. The game's difficulty also has increased making it more challenging, as well as bring a new experience to the game's story. The game is currently at Beta 2.1, with the game going as far as doing the Silph Co. plot and defeating Sabrina. Chaos Rush stated the next version will be the completed game.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Marble===<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game, the game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Guardian Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games.<br />
<br />
While DJG stated he now no longer supports the first three games, hackers are free to make modifications to the games as they see fit.<br />
<br />
===Pokemon Dark Rising===<br />
http://coolrom.com/screenshots/gba/Pokemon%20Dark%20Rising%20%28Hack%29.jpg http://coolrom.com/screenshots/gba/Pokemon%20Dark%20Rising%20%28Hack%29%20(2).jpg<br />
<br>Pokemon Dark Rising is a hack of Pokemon FireRed created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=294115 DarkRisingGirl]</span>. It takes place in a region called Core Region. Pokemon from the first five generations appear in this game. The objective of the game is to rescue the player's father & rescue Arceus who has been trapped by a dark entity named Darugis. The players has to travel through the Core region and defeat the villainous teams which are being controlled by Darugis. The starter Pokemon are Dratini, Bagon and Gible.<br />
<br />
====Pokemon Dark Rising 2====<br />
http://i50.tinypic.com/2n6ax3s.png http://oi39.tinypic.com/2ewjzex.jpg<br />
<br>Pokemon Dark Rising 2 is the sequel to Dark Rising. The story continues as the player continues his/her search for their father and Arceus. It takes place in a new region called the Omni Region. The starter Pokemon are Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp. It contains GenVI Pokemon also, hence, it is popular between players.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the [[legendary Pokémon]] that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the lowest level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the {{t|Dragon}} type in addition to its normal {{t|Grass}} type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their {{pkmn|Dream World}} abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2===<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called "PiraDance" in game), and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning [[Poké Ball]]s, to the beat of one of three songs, "butterfly", "Babylon", or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is also a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup|RGB}}{{sup|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokemon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup|RGB}}{{sup|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{p|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. A member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
After returning to Kanto from the Sevii Islands, Red catches the [[Legendary birds]]: {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. He learns of {{p|Mewtwo}}, the only Kanto Pokémon he has not caught. Red makes his way to [[Cerulean Cave]], where he finds and catches Mewtwo. With that, Red has completed the Kanto Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]<br />
<br />
===Super Smash Bros. Melee===<br />
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==In other games==<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the TFG==<br />
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.<br />
<br />
==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|200px|right|Red from Pokemon Origins]]<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]<br />
Red's [[cross-canon counterparts|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning one {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared both Red's name and FireRed and LeafGreen design.<br />
<br />
===In the manga===<br />
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===<br />
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure]]<br />
Another counterpart of Red makes an appearance in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jou]] battled the Gym Leader. Jou then officially encountered Red while on [[Mt. Silver]].<br />

==In other manga==<br />
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.<br />
<br />
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Red's anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]], appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{Main|Red (Adventures)}}<br />
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. <br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===<br />
{{main|Shu}}<br />
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}<br />
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].<br />
<br />
There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}<br />
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In the 1997 "Pocket Monsters Official Fan Book," Game Freak teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games. They called Red "Satoshi", the Japanese name of his anime counterpart Ash, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat|Ash's cap]] from the {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[version mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated it and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events. Because of this, it is likely thought that this Red is from Yellow, as Blue uses a team that is mixed with his different teams over the course of Generation I, as his starter Pokémon used in Red, Blue, and Green are missing, as well as his evolved Eevee from Yellow.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four version mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.<br />
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).<br />
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with a Level 85 on all 3 of his Pokemon. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.<br />
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip". <br />
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:<br />
<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}<br />
<br />
::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:<br />
<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}<br />
<br />
::This implies that Red is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.<br />
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:<br />
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.<br />
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:<br />
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.<br />
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]<br />
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with five out of six so far. He is also the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not appear at the lobby if defeated in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
* Encountering Red on [[Mt. Silver]] in regular gameplay requires that the {{player}} obtains the 16 [[Badge]]s of both [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] (and Kanto itself is only accessible after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] first), then being granted access to [[Mt. Silver]] from [[Professor Oak]]. Despite this, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red can be found at Mt. Silver ''the first time'' right at the beginning of the player's [[journey]] by bypassing the collision data of the overworld maps or by [[cheating]]. This is not possible in [[Generation II]], as the game is programmed to only allow Red to appear at Mt. Silver after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, even though regular gameplay imposes further requirements.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is also a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup|RGB}}{{sup|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokemon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup|RGB}}{{sup|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{p|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. A member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
After returning to Kanto from the Sevii Islands, Red catches the [[Legendary birds]]: {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. He learns of {{p|Mewtwo}}, the only Kanto Pokémon he has not caught. Red makes his way to [[Cerulean Cave]], where he finds and catches Mewtwo. With that, Red has completed the Kanto Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]<br />
<br />
===Super Smash Bros. Melee===<br />
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==In other games==<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the TFG==<br />
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.<br />
<br />
==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|200px|right|Red from Pokemon Origins]]<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]<br />
Red's [[cross-canon counterparts|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning one {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared both Red's name and FireRed and LeafGreen design.<br />
<br />
===In the manga===<br />
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===<br />
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure]]<br />
Another counterpart of Red makes an appearance in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jou]] battled the Gym Leader. Jou then officially encountered Red while on [[Mt. Silver]].<br />

<br />
==In other manga==<br />
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.<br />
<br />
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Red's anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]], appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{Main|Red (Adventures)}}<br />
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. <br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===<br />
{{main|Shu}}<br />
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}<br />
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].<br />
<br />
There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}<br />
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In the 1997 "Pocket Monsters Official Fan Book," Game Freak teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games. They called Red "Satoshi", the Japanese name of his anime counterpart Ash, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat|Ash's cap]] from the {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[version mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated it and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events. Because of this, it is likely thought that his Red is from Yellow, as Blue uses a team that is mixed with his different teams over the course of Generation I, as his starter Pokémon used in Red, Blue, and Green are missing, as well as his evolved Eevee from Yellow.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four version mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.<br />
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).<br />
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with a Level 85 on all 3 of his Pokemon. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.<br />
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip". <br />
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:<br />
<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}<br />
<br />
::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:<br />
<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}<br />
<br />
::This implies that Red is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.<br />
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:<br />
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.<br />
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:<br />
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.<br />
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]<br />
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with five out of six so far. He is also the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not appear at the lobby if defeated in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
* Encountering Red on [[Mt. Silver]] in regular gameplay requires that the {{player}} obtains the 16 [[Badge]]s of both [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] (and Kanto itself is only accessible after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] first), then being granted access to [[Mt. Silver]] from [[Professor Oak]]. Despite this, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red can be found at Mt. Silver ''the first time'' right at the beginning of the player's [[journey]] by bypassing the collision data of the overworld maps or by [[cheating]]. This is not possible in [[Generation II]], as the game is programmed to only allow Red to appear at Mt. Silver after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, even though regular gameplay imposes further requirements.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is also a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup|RGB}}{{sup|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokemon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup|RGB}}{{sup|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{p|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. A member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
After returning to Kanto from the Sevii Islands, Red catches the [[Legendary birds]]: {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. He learns of {{p|Mewtwo}}, the only Kanto Pokémon he has not caught. Red makes his way to [[Cerulean Cave]], where he finds and catches Mewtwo. With that, Red has completed the Kanto Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]<br />
<br />
===Super Smash Bros. Melee===<br />
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==In other games==<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the TFG==<br />
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.<br />
<br />
==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|200px|right|Red from Pokemon Origins]]<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]<br />
Red's [[cross-canon counterparts|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning one {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared both Red's name and FireRed and LeafGreen design.<br />
<br />
===In the manga===<br />
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===<br />
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure]]<br />
Another counterpart of Red makes an appearance in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jou]] battled the Gym Leader. Jou then officially encountered Red while on [[Mt. Silver]].<br />

<br />
==In other manga==<br />
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.<br />
<br />
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Red's anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]], appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{Main|Red (Adventures)}}<br />
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. <br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===<br />
{{main|Shu}}<br />
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}<br />
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].<br />
<br />
There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}<br />
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In the 1997 "Pocket Monsters Official Fan Book," Game Freak teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games. They called Red "Satoshi", the Japanese name of his anime counterpart Ash, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat|Ash's cap]] from the {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[version mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated it and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events. Because of this, the that is fought is likely Yellow's version of Red, as Blue uses a team that is mixed with his different teams over the course of Generation I, as his starter Pokémon used in Red, Blue, and Green are missing, as well as his evolved Eevee from Yellow.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four version mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.<br />
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).<br />
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with a Level 85 on all 3 of his Pokemon. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.<br />
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip". <br />
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:<br />
<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}<br />
<br />
::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:<br />
<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}<br />
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}<br />
<br />
::This implies that Red is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.<br />
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:<br />
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.<br />
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:<br />
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.<br />
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]<br />
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with five out of six so far. He is also the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not appear at the lobby if defeated in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
* Encountering Red on [[Mt. Silver]] in regular gameplay requires that the {{player}} obtains the 16 [[Badge]]s of both [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] (and Kanto itself is only accessible after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] first), then being granted access to [[Mt. Silver]] from [[Professor Oak]]. Despite this, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red can be found at Mt. Silver ''the first time'' right at the beginning of the player's [[journey]] by bypassing the collision data of the overworld maps or by [[cheating]]. This is not possible in [[Generation II]], as the game is programmed to only allow Red to appear at Mt. Silver after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, even though regular gameplay imposes further requirements.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007. [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492] It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of [[Pokémon Crystal]]. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on [[wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]], with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka gijinka]. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both [[Route 101]] and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.[http://kotaku.com/gaming/clip/pokemon-dressed-up-in-moe-332781.php]<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime, with the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, the nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang|Keitai Denjū Telefang 2}}. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
Zorak of Something Awful did a complete [[Let's Play]] [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Quartz/index.html playthrough of the game], which ended in an interview with the creator of the hack.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Marble===<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny Series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game, the game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Guardian Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games.<br />
<br />
While DJG stated he now no longer supports the first three games, hackers are free to make modifications to the games as they see fit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Liquid Crystal===<br />
Pokémon Liquid Crystal is a total conversion for FireRed and is remake of Pokémon Crystal, created by LinkandZelda. The storyline is generally that of the original Crystal, but with new features. The game is centered around Johto, Kanto, as well as the Orange Archipelago. Along with Team Rocket, a new team known as Team Saturn has been added and their goal is to capture the Legendary Pokémon to take over the world. The game offers new tilesets, music that has been remade for the regions, a Gameboy Player item that will play the music in 8-bit, but unlike the HGSS Gameboy Player, the music is in true 8-bit chiptune using the GBA's audio hardware, and other features that weren't in the original Crystal, as well as the other Generation II remake, Shiny Gold.<br />
<br />
The game is currently running on a Live Beta, so the game is updated periodically with fixes, but the game is mostly complete as players are able to complete the Johto and Kanto quests, as well as most of the Orange Archipelago. <br />
<br />
===Pokémon CrystalDust===<br />
CrystalDust is another Crystal remake, but instead of FireRed being the base, it uses Emerald as a base and is created by diegoisawesome. It is a complete recreation of almost everything imaginable; sprites, sound, maps, events, and text all are almost perfect copies of their GBC counterparts, only upgraded. While the game uses Emerald as a base, it takes some sprites from FireRed, as well as music track since FireRed's data is already in Emerald. <br />
<br />
The game is currently in its second Beta stage, with most of Johto and some of Kanto's quests completed. The third beta will have the rest of Kanto completed.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the legendaries that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the bottom level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the [[Magmarizer]] and [[Electirizer]] are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[Evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the Dragon type in addition to its normal Grass type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their Dream World abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2===<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />

===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called 'PiraDance' in game) and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning Poké Balls, to the beat of one of three songs, "butterfly", "Babylon" or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', '''hack games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as {{wp|eBay}}.<br />
<br />
Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese language}} Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy and Game Boy Color==<br />
===Pokémon Adventure===<br />
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|right|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]<br />
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3. While the game is paused, one can move themselves away from enemies.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Brown===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br />
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukémon", titled "Fukémon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack had a complete change of all maps, minor script tweaks and almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that some of the cities in Brown have a close resemblance to the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Beta maps|beta maps]] found in {{g|Gold and Silver Versions}}. For example, Botan City slightly resembles the [[Azalea Town]] beta map, Jaeru City resembles the [[Blackthorn City]] beta map, and Castro Valley strongly resembles the [[Olivine City]] beta map.<br />
<br />
The author of this hack released an updated version of Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, several glitch repairs, new features and new additions to the storyline.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===<br />
[[File:Fake Diamond start.jpg|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]<br />
<br />
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Telefang is divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Prism===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Prism Naljo.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br />
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007. [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=227492] It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, Pokémon from the first four generations, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. There are also a few minigames included such as a {{wp|Pachisi}}-type board game. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public. Its latest version was released in August 2010.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===<br />
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of [[Pokémon Crystal]]. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. This particular hack was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on [[wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]], with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.<br />
<br />
==Game Boy Advance==<br />
===Moemon===<br />
[[File:386 Moemon.png|thumb|right|386 Moemon]]<br />
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka gijinka]. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.<br />
<br />
A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both [[Route 101]] and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect. <br />
<br />
Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.[http://kotaku.com/gaming/clip/pokemon-dressed-up-in-moe-332781.php]<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Amber===<br />
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It is made by the hacker 'Joy', and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon AshGray===<br />
Pokémon AshGray is a modification of FireRed, and directly follows the anime, with the player being stuck with Pikachu, being attacked by a group of Spearow, fighting Team Rocket at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, the Butterfree-Raticate trade on the S.S. Anne, Charizard disobeying the player after evolution, the nurses have been redesigned into Nurse Joys, the Pokémon Centers have redesigned exteriors, and the Nurse Joys all have Chansey. Pikachu, however, stays in its Poké Ball, and Brock and Misty do not travel with the player, though they will run into them from time to time. The game also features the opportunity to travel through the Orange Archipelago and play through the events of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ChaosBlack===<br />
[[File:ChaosBlack start.jpg|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br />
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br />
<br />
The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game is apparently developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]<br />
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang|Keitai Denjū Telefang 2}}. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===<br />
Pokémon Naranja is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br />
<br />
This game is based on the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br />
<br />
The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br />
<br />
Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates. This is the only known Pokémon game to ever feature the Orange Islands that was sold.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Quartz===<br />
[[File:Quartz Title Screen.png|thumb|The title screen of Pokémon Quartz]]<br />
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay. It also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game.<br />
<br />
While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br />
<br />
Zorak of Something Awful did a complete [[Let's Play]] [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Quartz/index.html playthrough of the game], which ended in an interview with the creator of the hack.<br />
<br />
A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Marble===<br />
[[File:Marble battle.png|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Doduo}}'s replacements]]<br />
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon ShinyGold===<br />
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]<br />
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br />
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, the game's creator, Zel, placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features some changes to the storyline, like the fact that a new Trainer, named Carlos, is introduced, a Trainer with which the player keeps fighting during the gameplay. It has also introduced features that allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br />
[[File:Carlos ShinyGold.png|thumb|center|A battle against Carlos]]<br />
<br />
===Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon===<br />
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot'em up series {{wp|Touhou Project}} and the Pokémon games. The (official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.<br />
<br />
Almost every Pokémon has been replaced with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. Certain fan derivative versions of the game uses the physical-special split from Generation IV. In the newest official Japanese version, 1.8, the types and evolution styles have been changed as well.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny Series===<br />
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.<br />
<br />
The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game, the game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having now knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Guardian Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.<br />
<br />
Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games.<br />
<br />
While DJG stated he now no longer supports the first three games, hackers are free to make modifications to the games as they see fit.<br />
<br />
==Nintendo DS==<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===<br />
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the legendaries that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the bottom level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the [[Magmarizer]] and [[Electirizer]] are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[Evolutionary stone]]s do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the Dragon type in addition to its normal Grass type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their Dream World abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2===<br />
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequels of Blaze Black and Volt White, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male {{tc|Veteran}} inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating/catching {{p|Regirock}}. In addition, new features are added, such as a house in [[Nacrene City]] in which the player can have rematches with any of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, the ability to battle Gym Leaders from [[Hoenn]] in the overworld, and a battle against {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}} in the [[Nature Preserve]].<br />
<br />
==NES==<br />
===Pokémon 4-in-1===<br />
<br />
Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games: "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called 'PiraDance' in game) and "Pacman". "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. Pacman is a {{wp|Pac-Man}} clone where {{wp|Pac-Man (character)|Pac-Man}} is replaced with a Pikachu face and {{wp|Ghosts (Pac-Man)|the ghosts}} with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons. PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning Poké Balls, to the beat of one of three songs, "butterfly", "Babylon" or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.<br />

== Telefang Wiki? ==<br />
<br />
There is a [http://telefang.wikia.com/ growing Wiki that is solely dedicated to the Telefang series], where the first game of the series that was eventually hacked into Pokémon Diamond/Jade. I'm thinking about adding it to this article because it has some useful information ([http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Jade including the hacks themselves], as well as information about the series in general), but I'm not going to add it without it being okay with other people because I don't want to look like a spammer. Should I add it here or not?<br />
<br />
Also, there's a really informative fansite dedicated to the game as well. Should I add that too? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 05:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Another GBA Hack Game ==<br />
I saw this hacked game on eBay. It was called "Perla" and it featured Lucario on the box. The picture even included the manual and it had [[Lucas]] on its pages. Probably Diamond/Pearl-based? [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 03:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)<br />

:It's mainly due to the fact that these games are hacked from ROMs. ROMs are illegal (that whole 24-hour thing is bull****), cartridges containing these hacks are illegal, and we can't have full articles on games that can only be obtained by illegal means.<br />
<br />
:Besides, buying hacks on cartridges can provide inconsistent results and their boxes don't always accurately reflect its content. Hacks may have gamebreaking glitches that can render the game incompletable; the Diamond/Jade pair have several such glitches. Additionally, boxes containing the Quartz hack have an E for Everyone rating pasted onto it, yet that hack's content would lend more to an M for Mature for strong language, use of alcohol, and mature sexual themes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

What if someone made a hack game, but gave it out for free? :\ Would that still be illegal? Just wondering [[User:Takoto|<span style="color:#2E0854"><b>Takoto タコト</b></span>]]|<span style="color:#F4C2C2"> サソデイ = 愛</span><br />
:I don't know about physical copies of it, but most people make ROM Hacks to be played on an emulator, and let people download them. Same with fangames, only minus the emulator.<br />
<br />
Hacked games are not necessarily games that are based on main series games. 'Hacked' is just a software term and has nothing to do with illegal measures. Some so-called hacked games are IPS patches for main series ROMs and if these ROMs are illegal then playing a patched version of the ROM will also be illegal. However a game that was hacked together by someone that isn't a patch for a different ROM is not necessarily illegal. Always remember that in many countries possession/receipt of stolen property/goods is a crime, though. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
:Actually, the patch files are legal, as they don't contain copyrighted materials. However, it is illegal to use the patch file, as you need a ROM to do so, and a ROM is illegal as it violates copyright. The ROM download is illegal because it contains the copyrighted data from the original game. However, this is only true of hacks, and not of bootlegs, which are completely legal as far as I know.

::Individual Pokémon ''names'' are trademarked, as is the word "Pokémon".

::::If it isn't called a Pokemon game, doesn't contain Pokemon and is created from scratch (using even scraps of code from the games would be considered illegal), then it depends on how similar it is to the Pokemon games. If the mechanics are too similar (e.g. replaced everything related to Pokemon with something else but kept the same mechanics) then it could still be considered to be in breach of copyright, and Nintendo could still take action if it thought the mechanics were too similar. So yes, I believe bootleg games would be legal, provided that they aren't Pokemon games, don't contain Pokemon, and don't play too similarly to Pokemon games.

== THREE games called "Pokémon Jade"? ==<br />
When searching for "pokemon jade" on YouTube, I found that there were not one, not two, but THREE different bootleg games called "Pokémon Jade." The most notable one, and the one that everybody talks about, is an Engrish hack of [http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Speed Version], and had a counterpart, "Pokémon Diamond" (not to be confused with the one for the DS, but rather a hack of Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Power Version) -- though this is already mentioned in the article anyway. However, I found two other games with the same name. One of them, found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lyGkQ7JIKg here], is a combination of other fake games -- Pokémon Adventure being one of them, but there were a few other games that this fake is based off of. There was also a video on YouTube a while ago (which is unfortunately gone now) showing a Pokémon Jade for Game Boy ADVANCE -- not Color, but Advance. The video didn't show any footage of the game, just the cartridge and box, but if I remember correctly, the cartridge had the deer thing (Shishigami?) that was also on the cartridge for the Pokémon Jade that was based off Telefang Speed. Anybody know more information about these games? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 03:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)<br />

== To do ==<br />
<br />
*Explanation of the legal issues related to ROM hacking and playing ROM hacks. (In theory it can be legal, in practice it almost never is.) Elaboration on patching versus actual ROMs being released.<br />
*Distinction between bootlegs and fan-made hacks. Remove redundancy relating to "oh yeah zel put in an anti-bootleg screen" and "chaos black is known for being bootlegged".<br />
*Some guideline for notability of hacks. There's a new hack announced every other day at Pokecommunity, but how many actually get finished? Next to none. Diamond/Jade are notable. Chaos Black is notable. Prism and Shiny Gold are notable. Moemon? Debatably notable (I had never heard of it, although apparently it made it onto Kotaku). But unless Bulbapedia starts having individual pages on specific hacks, it shouldn't be considered an index of them.<br />
*Page should probably be moved to ROM hacks, as this by far is the more widely used (and more precise) name.<br />

==Exact Bootlegs==<br />
<br />
I was wondering if we should add a section about the fact that some people take the actual games and not remakes or revisions and bootleg them onto GBA cartridges and sell them over ebay, and amazon under the sold by users section. It happened to me on amazon and I have read other accounts of it happening to other people. One of the common things that happens with these bootlegs is there is compatibility issues when trying to use dongle method or the pal park, as well as the emerald save data being erased when Diamond or Pearl is loaded.

== Pokemon Creepy Black Version? ==<br />
Should there be anything about this one in here? <br />
Here's a likn to a video describing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iYwMgG8dNs<br />
Or if you can't watch it (for whatever reason) I will breifly explain: <br />
Basically it's Pokemon Red Version. Everything is the same until you first look at your Pokemon. You'll have your starter and a Pokemon named "Ghost". It's sprite is the same as ghosts from Lavender Town. You can't trade it, release it, etc. It only has one move "curse". When you use it, the screen cuts to black and you hear the Pokemon who you're battling's cry, except the pitch is lower. It goes back to the regular battle screen, except the Pokemon is not there. It's implied the Pokemon died. So you go through the entire game. It's pretty much the same as Red. You can use Curse on anyone (except a few people, I forget who). So after you beat it all, it cuts to black. You then see an old person looking at graves in Lavender Town. The old man is apparently your player. You can walk anywhere on the map, except nobody else is around. The Lavender Town theme plays everywhere. You are able to go back to Pallet Town. When you go to your house and stand on the tile that you started on, cut to black. Then every player and their Pokemon you used Curse on appears, one by one. The Lavender Town theme slowly becomes deeper in pitch and slower in speed. Finally, you battle Ghost. You have no Pokemon, cant escape, etc. Finally when you're down to minimal health, Ghost uses Curse, the screen cuts to black, the end. You have to start a new game if you want to play again. Freaky, right? Oh....that was a little more than breifly. Oh Well.<br />
<br />
There is also a hack of firered that adds ghost with your starter but you don't kill anyone.[[User:Kingsisle|Kingsisle]] ([[User talk:Kingsisle|talk]]) 19:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)<br />

I have also seen a video about an article about this game, however it is believed to be fake. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:'''@BobzBlobz:''' If you believe this is fake, then why not add a section where games are known but not known to be real? Anyway, I believe it's real. If you search it on Google, you will find someone who posted about it and their experiance with it on a website called TinyCartidge. This is the first time people hear of it. --[[User:PeterFoster111|PeterFoster111]] 18:36, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

Sam says: Pokémon Creepy Black Version isn't a Real Pokémon game. Much like it's successor, Pokémon Lost Silver, they are fake Pokémon games created based on a creepypasta in which regards the game itself. Yes, these are indeed hacked games, albiet very known ones, and should be added to the list as soon as possible.<br />
(I'd do it myself, but apparently the page is protected.) {{unsigned|Sam Halcyon}}<br />
<br />
==PokéMon Arcoiris Version==<br />
Well i just recently bought a game called Pokémon Arcoris (still dont got it tho, its in mail) and im supprised its not here already. Its pretty cool and you can catch Shadow Lugia, it allows you to be Misty or Ash for characters and your starter is Pikachu. Its based on the orange islands, and is a hack of Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire. MUCH MORE INFO SOON WHEN I GOT IT.[[User:Rsrdaman]]<br />
<br />
==Emerald 386 and FireRed Omega?==<br />
Would these two be considered notable? At least on the Nuzlocke forum, they seem to be very popular and well known, and so I was wondering if at least a mention of them could be made on this page. The basic premise of these as I understand them is that all of the Pokémon up to the third generation are included in these games. I'm afraid I don't know much about them, but they seem easy to look up and I was surprised there wasn't a mention of any sort here. I apologize if this isn't the right place.

== Pokemon Uranium ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm one of the developers for Pokemon Uranium. (I'm the spriter/writer/designer). I just want to make a few corrections: it's NOT a rom hack, it's an RMXP fangame designed to be played on the computer. Here is the [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=215424 Pokecommunity thread].<br />
<br />
There is no "Uranium team," it's just me and ~JV~, the programmer/mapper.<br />
<br />
While I appreciate the free hits, I'm not sure whether it should be a part of this page since it's not, technically speaking, a hacked game. I think a section for notable non-hack fangames is a good idea, though, because there are a few which are complete (such as Pokemon Raptor) that deserve some recognition.<br />

:The point of this article is ''not'' to advertise fan games. It is to list ''extremely notable'' fan games that had a major effect on the fandom. Games that, were they not ''illegal'', would easily be given their own page. Should this article become simply a list of hack games that are considered 'good' so that people could find them, it would likely be deleted. As it is, this article is walking a fine line between "okay" and "must be deleted to prevent Nintendo taking down the whole site". As a large site, we must hold ourselves to higher standards in regards to legality than smaller sites. The sections that exist should not be expanded either.

==Crystal GBA/Crystal Shards==<br />
<br />
I saw a game labelled Pokémon Crystal on Ebay but the game was a GBA cartridge. I bought it out of curiosity and the title screen calls it Pokémon Crystal Shards. It seems to be a badly translated hack of a Spanish FireRed and doesn't make sense at some points, like Professor Oak trying to teach me Softboiled before entering my name. Anyone else know of this game and does it deserve a section? [[User:Wexdarn|Wexarn]] 12:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Haha, that's hilarious. I wonder if it was due to the pirates's bad translation skills / need to fill in space with somehting, or if that was added intentionally for the point of being funny. Anyway, I can't comment on this, as I've never heard of it... but then again, I've never heard of most of the games on here. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Additions==<br />
I've heard of a game not on here... it was called "Monster! Go! Go!" (or something along those lines)... it was a hack of some Smurfs game where a lot of the graphics were changed to Pokémon. I've never played it, but from the screenshots it looks like they did a good job. I'm sure other people have heard of this? I'm not adding it because I don't really know anything about it, and I don't know if its notable.<br />
<br />
Also this was mentioned before, but how about some mention of Pokémon fan games that aren't hacks... ones that are made from scratch or made in some game-making program? I do believe that they should get their own page, but I've noticed no one has done so. I'm not starting the page since I don't really know much about them, but I do know that they exist. I'm pretty sure that there's at least one Pokémon MMORPG out there (or being worked on). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:24, 22 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== A couple of possible additions ==<br />
<br />
Of the many hacks I've played over the years, there are a few I believe are good enough to add to this page:<br />
<br />
The first is the entire Ruby Destiny series by DestinedJagold, which I notice has been mentioned before. I figured I should explain that the series is made of three games: Reign of Legends (a Ruby hack that has plenty of Generation IV Pokemon and a few customs), Rescue Rangers (a hack that is similar in style of play to the original Mystery Dungeon games), and Life of Guardians (more Gen IV Pokemon and completely new story). These three games definitely belong on this page.<br />
<br />
The other game is the first Generation V hack I have ever seen, called Blaze Black and Volt White. As the names suggest, they are hacks of Black and White Versions. These games, no matter which you play, have all 649 Pokemon available to own without connecting to other games (i.e. in game trades, evolution and basic catching). This includes every starter and every legendary. The trainer battles are also harder in both team makeup, moves and level. For example, the Striaton City gym leader now has all 5 starters of their main type (depending on who you battle against) at level 12 and the Pan-monkey of their type at level 14, all in a rotation battle. Other changes include changing the types of some Pokemon (Serperior is now a Grass/Dragon), every Pokemon having a chance of having their Dream World ability upon capture, changes in some move types (Cut is now Grass, Strength is now Rock), changes in evolution methods (mainly for the ones that need to be traded to be evolved), and changes in what some Pokemon can learn in terms of leveling up and by TMs and HMs. These are only a few of the changes that Drayano (the hack's creator) made. Here is a link for full information on the hack:<br />
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=247696<br />
<br />
I would love to see both these hacks included on this page., hopefully someone reads this.<br />

:Yeah... "ROM hacks" (or just the shortened "hacks") is definitely the most common term. "Hacked ROMs" showing up pretty commonly too.

:Also agreed. If you look on any of the forums that the patches to the games are posted on (projectpokemon, pokecommunity, gbatemp, etc.), you will see, almost 100% of the time, the words "ROM Hack(s)," or as Gou said, sometimes just "hacks." "Hack games" however, is a very scarcely used term.

== "Also known as Fan Games" ==<br />
Um... no. A "fangame/fan game" refers to a game someone actually made themselves (such as with RPG Maker, Game Maker, the OHRRPGCE, or something along those lines... or even coding it from scratch!) They may sometimes have graphics and such taken from the official games, but an actual fangame isn't edited from one of the official games like a ROM hack is. They're two different things.

Additionally, boxes containing the Quartz hack have an E for Everyone rating pasted onto it, yet that hack's content would lend more to an M for Mature for strong language, use of alcohol, and mature sexual themes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

What if someone made a hack game, but gave it out for free? :\ Would that still be illegal? Just wondering [[User:Takoto|<span style="color:#2E0854"><b>Takoto タコト</b></span>]]|<span style="color:#F4C2C2"> サソデイ = 愛</span><br />
:I don't know about physical copies of it, but most people make ROM Hacks to be played on an emulator, and let people download them. Same with fangames, only minus the emulator.<br />
<br />
Hacked games are not necessarily games that are based on main series games. 'Hacked' is just a software term and has nothing to do with illegal measures. Some so-called hacked games are IPS patches for main series ROMs and if these ROMs are illegal then playing a patched version of the ROM will also be illegal. However a game that was hacked together by someone that isn't a patch for a different ROM is not necessarily illegal. Always remember that in many countries possession/receipt of stolen property/goods is a crime, though. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
:Actually, the patch files are legal, as they don't contain copyrighted materials. However, it is illegal to use the patch file, as you need a ROM to do so, and a ROM is illegal as it violates copyright. The ROM download is illegal because it contains the copyrighted data from the original game. However, this is only true of hacks, and not of bootlegs, which are completely legal as far as I know.

::Individual Pokémon ''names'' are trademarked, as is the word "Pokémon".

::::If it isn't called a Pokemon game, doesn't contain Pokemon and is created from scratch (using even scraps of code from the games would be considered illegal), then it depends on how similar it is to the Pokemon games. If the mechanics are too similar (e.g. replaced everything related to Pokemon with something else but kept the same mechanics) then it could still be considered to be in breach of copyright, and Nintendo could still take action if it thought the mechanics were too similar. So yes, I believe bootleg games would be legal, provided that they aren't Pokemon games, don't contain Pokemon, and don't play too similarly to Pokemon games.

== THREE games called "Pokémon Jade"? ==<br />
When searching for "pokemon jade" on YouTube, I found that there were not one, not two, but THREE different bootleg games called "Pokémon Jade." The most notable one, and the one that everybody talks about, is an Engrish hack of [http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Speed Version], and had a counterpart, "Pokémon Diamond" (not to be confused with the one for the DS, but rather a hack of Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Power Version) -- though this is already mentioned in the article anyway. However, I found two other games with the same name. One of them, found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lyGkQ7JIKg here], is a combination of other fake games -- Pokémon Adventure being one of them, but there were a few other games that this fake is based off of. There was also a video on YouTube a while ago (which is unfortunately gone now) showing a Pokémon Jade for Game Boy ADVANCE -- not Color, but Advance. The video didn't show any footage of the game, just the cartridge and box, but if I remember correctly, the cartridge had the deer thing (Shishigami?) that was also on the cartridge for the Pokémon Jade that was based off Telefang Speed. Anybody know more information about these games? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 03:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
There is also another jade version in development-Rabla 20:58, 11 October 2008 (AEST)<br />
<br />
== To do ==<br />
<br />
*Explanation of the legal issues related to ROM hacking and playing ROM hacks. (In theory it can be legal, in practice it almost never is.) Elaboration on patching versus actual ROMs being released.<br />
*Distinction between bootlegs and fan-made hacks. Remove redundancy relating to "oh yeah zel put in an anti-bootleg screen" and "chaos black is known for being bootlegged".<br />
*Some guideline for notability of hacks. There's a new hack announced every other day at Pokecommunity, but how many actually get finished? Next to none. Diamond/Jade are notable. Chaos Black is notable. Prism and Shiny Gold are notable. Moemon? Debatably notable (I had never heard of it, although apparently it made it onto Kotaku). But unless Bulbapedia starts having individual pages on specific hacks, it shouldn't be considered an index of them.<br />
*Page should probably be moved to ROM hacks, as this by far is the more widely used (and more precise) name.<br />

==Exact Bootlegs==<br />
<br />
I was wondering if we should add a section about the fact that some people take the actual games and not remakes or revisions and bootleg them onto GBA cartridges and sell them over ebay, and amazon under the sold by users section. It happened to me on amazon and I have read other accounts of it happening to other people. One of the common things that happens with these bootlegs is there is compatibility issues when trying to use dongle method or the pal park, as well as the emerald save data being erased when Diamond or Pearl is loaded.

== Pokemon Creepy Black Version? ==<br />
Should there be anything about this one in here? <br />
Here's a likn to a video describing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iYwMgG8dNs<br />
Or if you can't watch it (for whatever reason) I will breifly explain: <br />
Basically it's Pokemon Red Version. Everything is the same until you first look at your Pokemon. You'll have your starter and a Pokemon named "Ghost". It's sprite is the same as ghosts from Lavender Town. You can't trade it, release it, etc. It only has one move "curse". When you use it, the screen cuts to black and you hear the Pokemon who you're battling's cry, except the pitch is lower. It goes back to the regular battle screen, except the Pokemon is not there. It's implied the Pokemon died. So you go through the entire game. It's pretty much the same as Red. You can use Curse on anyone (except a few people, I forget who). So after you beat it all, it cuts to black. You then see an old person looking at graves in Lavender Town. The old man is apparently your player. You can walk anywhere on the map, except nobody else is around. The Lavender Town theme plays everywhere. You are able to go back to Pallet Town. When you go to your house and stand on the tile that you started on, cut to black. Then every player and their Pokemon you used Curse on appears, one by one. The Lavender Town theme slowly becomes deeper in pitch and slower in speed. Finally, you battle Ghost. You have no Pokemon, cant escape, etc. Finally when you're down to minimal health, Ghost uses Curse, the screen cuts to black, the end. You have to start a new game if you want to play again. Freaky, right? Oh....that was a little more than breifly. Oh Well.<br />
<br />
There is also a hack of firered that adds ghost with your starter but you don't kill anyone.[[User:Kingsisle|Kingsisle]] ([[User talk:Kingsisle|talk]]) 19:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)<br />

I have also seen a video about an article about this game, however it is believed to be fake. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:'''@BobzBlobz:''' If you believe this is fake, then why not add a section where games are known but not known to be real? Anyway, I believe it's real. If you search it on Google, you will find someone who posted about it and their experiance with it on a website called TinyCartidge. This is the first time people hear of it. --[[User:PeterFoster111|PeterFoster111]] 18:36, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

Sam says: Pokémon Creepy Black Version isn't a Real Pokémon game. Much like it's successor, Pokémon Lost Silver, they are fake Pokémon games created based on a creepypasta in which regards the game itself. Yes, these are indeed hacked games, albiet very known ones, and should be added to the list as soon as possible.<br />

==PokéMon Arcoiris Version==<br />
Well i just recently bought a game called Pokémon Arcoris (still dont got it tho, its in mail) and im supprised its not here already. Its pretty cool and you can catch Shadow Lugia, it allows you to be Misty or Ash for characters and your starter is Pikachu. Its based on the orange islands, and is a hack of Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire. MUCH MORE INFO SOON WHEN I GOT IT.[[User:Rsrdaman]]<br />
<br />
==Emerald 386 and FireRed Omega?==<br />
Would these two be considered notable? At least on the Nuzlocke forum, they seem to be very popular and well known, and so I was wondering if at least a mention of them could be made on this page. The basic premise of these as I understand them is that all of the Pokémon up to the third generation are included in these games. I'm afraid I don't know much about them, but they seem easy to look up and I was surprised there wasn't a mention of any sort here. I apologize if this isn't the right place.

== Pokemon Uranium ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm one of the developers for Pokemon Uranium. (I'm the spriter/writer/designer). I just want to make a few corrections: it's NOT a rom hack, it's an RMXP fangame designed to be played on the computer. Here is the [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=215424 Pokecommunity thread].<br />
<br />
There is no "Uranium team," it's just me and ~JV~, the programmer/mapper.<br />
<br />
While I appreciate the free hits, I'm not sure whether it should be a part of this page since it's not, technically speaking, a hacked game. I think a section for notable non-hack fangames is a good idea, though, because there are a few which are complete (such as Pokemon Raptor) that deserve some recognition.<br />

:The point of this article is ''not'' to advertise fan games. It is to list ''extremely notable'' fan games that had a major effect on the fandom. Games that, were they not ''illegal'', would easily be given their own page. Should this article become simply a list of hack games that are considered 'good' so that people could find them, it would likely be deleted. As it is, this article is walking a fine line between "okay" and "must be deleted to prevent Nintendo taking down the whole site". As a large site, we must hold ourselves to higher standards in regards to legality than smaller sites. The sections that exist should not be expanded either.

==Crystal GBA/Crystal Shards==<br />
<br />
I saw a game labelled Pokémon Crystal on Ebay but the game was a GBA cartridge. I bought it out of curiosity and the title screen calls it Pokémon Crystal Shards. It seems to be a badly translated hack of a Spanish FireRed and doesn't make sense at some points, like Professor Oak trying to teach me Softboiled before entering my name. Anyone else know of this game and does it deserve a section? [[User:Wexdarn|Wexarn]] 12:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Haha, that's hilarious. I wonder if it was due to the pirates's bad translation skills / need to fill in space with somehting, or if that was added intentionally for the point of being funny. Anyway, I can't comment on this, as I've never heard of it... but then again, I've never heard of most of the games on here. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Additions==<br />
I've heard of a game not on here... it was called "Monster! Go! Go!" (or something along those lines)... it was a hack of some Smurfs game where a lot of the graphics were changed to Pokémon. I've never played it, but from the screenshots it looks like they did a good job. I'm sure other people have heard of this? I'm not adding it because I don't really know anything about it, and I don't know if its notable.<br />
<br />
Also this was mentioned before, but how about some mention of Pokémon fan games that aren't hacks... ones that are made from scratch or made in some game-making program? I do believe that they should get their own page, but I've noticed no one has done so. I'm not starting the page since I don't really know much about them, but I do know that they exist. I'm pretty sure that there's at least one Pokémon MMORPG out there (or being worked on). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:24, 22 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== A couple of possible additions ==<br />
<br />
Of the many hacks I've played over the years, there are a few I believe are good enough to add to this page:<br />
<br />
The first is the entire Ruby Destiny series by DestinedJagold, which I notice has been mentioned before. I figured I should explain that the series is made of three games: Reign of Legends (a Ruby hack that has plenty of Generation IV Pokemon and a few customs), Rescue Rangers (a hack that is similar in style of play to the original Mystery Dungeon games), and Life of Guardians (more Gen IV Pokemon and completely new story). These three games definitely belong on this page.<br />
<br />
The other game is the first Generation V hack I have ever seen, called Blaze Black and Volt White. As the names suggest, they are hacks of Black and White Versions. These games, no matter which you play, have all 649 Pokemon available to own without connecting to other games (i.e. in game trades, evolution and basic catching). This includes every starter and every legendary. The trainer battles are also harder in both team makeup, moves and level. For example, the Striaton City gym leader now has all 5 starters of their main type (depending on who you battle against) at level 12 and the Pan-monkey of their type at level 14, all in a rotation battle. Other changes include changing the types of some Pokemon (Serperior is now a Grass/Dragon), every Pokemon having a chance of having their Dream World ability upon capture, changes in some move types (Cut is now Grass, Strength is now Rock), changes in evolution methods (mainly for the ones that need to be traded to be evolved), and changes in what some Pokemon can learn in terms of leveling up and by TMs and HMs. These are only a few of the changes that Drayano (the hack's creator) made. Here is a link for full information on the hack:<br />
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=247696<br />
<br />
I would love to see both these hacks included on this page., hopefully someone reads this.<br />

So I have this bootleg that is named "Pokemon Silver." Sadly I don't know what the actual game is,and I can't provide a screenshot because I googled it and didn't get the results that I wanted.The games text are small and everyone speaks Japanese.You seem to start out as a crossover of a Squritle and a dragon.(That's what I always thought...)Mostly the graphics glitch up in the intro,and I don't know the storyline because like I said,everyone speaks Japanese.What is this game?

==Move==<br />

This page should be moved to ROM hacks. That is the more common name and "hack games" can refer to games that have been hacked into by an [[Action Replay]]. [[User:Spyspotter|Spyspotter]] [[User talk:Spyspotter|says…]] Edit the mainspace, [[Special:ListUsers|kids!]] 13:03, 10 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:I agree. As someone who is actually involved in the ROM Hacking community, I can't recall a single time that someone has referred to them as "Hack games". Typically it's just "ROM Hacks", or occasionally just "hacks".--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] ([[User talk:Goukazaru|talk]]) 18:13, 23 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Yeah... "ROM hacks" (or just the shortened "hacks") is definitely the most common term. "Hacked ROMs" showing up pretty commonly too. I've sometimes seen "hacked games," but never "hack games" (aside from this page and its talk page, anyway.) --[[User:FnrrfYgmSchnish|FnrrfYgmSchnish]] ([[User talk:FnrrfYgmSchnish|talk]]) 01:26, 7 July 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Also agreed. If you look on any of the forums that the patches to the games are posted on (projectpokemon, pokecommunity, gbatemp, etc.), you will see, almost 100% of the time, the words "ROM Hack(s)," or as Gou said, sometimes just "hacks." "Hack games" however, is a very scarcely used term.

<br />
== "Also known as Fan Games" ==<br />
Um... no. A "fangame/fan game" refers to a game someone actually made themselves (such as with RPG Maker, Game Maker, the OHRRPGCE, or something along those lines... or even coding it from scratch!) They may sometimes have graphics and such taken from the official games, but an actual fangame isn't edited from one of the official games like a ROM hack is. They're two different things.

<br />
==Biology==<br />
Gallade is a white, bipedal Pokémon. Its lower body consists of rounded hips with strong legs. It has a thin green torso with sharp, red horns sticking out of its chest and back. Its arms are shaped like {{wp|tonfa}}s with extendable blades in its elbows. It will use its arms like swords in order to protect someone. Its head resembles a gladiator's helmet with a white face and a teal head crest. It has spikes on the sides of its face. It is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship that is capable of predicting its foe’s moves.<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of Gardevoir's.<br />
* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 160.<br />
* Gallade is tied with {{p|Scrafty}} for the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} base stat of all non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.<br />
* Because of its prior evolutions, breeding and the use of a TM99, Gallade is the only Fighting-type to learn Fairy-type move.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|Murmillo|murmillo-class}} Roman {{wp|Gladiator|gladiators}} or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) that was worn by Greek {{wp|Hoplite|hoplites}}. It may also be based on medieval {{wp|Knight|knights}}. Additionally, its battle stances (depicted in-game and in artwork) resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of {{wp|Fencing|modern fencing}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Gallade may be a combination of ''gallant'' and ''blade''. It may also involve {{wp|Galahad|Sir ''Galahad''}}, a knight of {{wp|King Arthur|Arthurian legend}}.<br />
<br />
Erureido may be a combination of ''{{wp|Earl}}'' (in antiquity, a chieftain or military leader; in present day, a rank in the {{wp|Peerage|British nobility}}) or ''elbow'' and ''blade'', referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms. It may also derive from ''{{wp|ballad}}'' (a type of French poetry), in accordance with the musical origin of {{p|Ralts}} and the French {{p|Gardevoir}}.<br />
<br />

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]]. <br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. <br />
<br />
It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}} as a [[Tower duo|duo]], even sometimes as its polar opposite. {{game3|Gold and Silver|Silver|s}} represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}} represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies." <br />
<br />
Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, its remake {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], appearing on the boxart of them all.<br />
<br />
In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Lugia plates.png|thumb|left|201px|Lugia folding back its plates]]<br />
Lugia is a large Pokémon that resembles a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. It is primarily pale silver-white, but it has blue undersides with slightly varying tones. It has a ridged mouth similar to a beak, although it has teeth on its lower jaw. Its head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia has a long, slender neck and a smooth, streamlined body, with the exception of dark blue or black plate-like protrusions that run down the length of its back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It can fold back these plates to increase its speed. It has large wings that resemble hands. Though it is genderless, {{jo|Silver|young Lugia}} has been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population. [[EP220|Lugia has been shown]] to be fiercely protective of its young.<br />
<br />
Lugia leads the [[legendary birds]]. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably, it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of its wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings, it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}. It is extremely {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rare}} and is hardly ever seen.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Lugia anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Lugia in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
====[[Lugia (M02)]]====<br />
A Lugia was featured in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', central to the legend of [[Shamouti Island]]. Its psychic powers allow it to communicate with humans.<br />
<br />
====[[Silver (Johto)]]====<br />
A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''. and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. Meowth, as well, said that he'd "never seen a Pokémon like that before!" On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with both James and Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands. In both versions, Ash first refers to the baby Lugia as a "mysterious Pokémon."<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
Lugia saved Ash, Misty and Brock from being sucked into a whirlpool in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]''.<br />
<br />
A Lugia also appeared in a [[Team Rocket]] fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.<br />
<br />
Lugia made a brief cameo at the beginning of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:PS148.png|thumb|200px|Lugia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
The [[Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia (unnamed at the time) in the {{chap|Yellow}}. The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}} is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{Adv|Green}}), but both times it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}. It was first encountered in {{PAV|7}} as a being of shimmering light (long before most [[Generation II]] Pokémon were known) when [[Lance]] summoned it to aid his schemes of eliminating most of mankind, but it wasn't until much later in {{PAV|12}} that it was properly identified as Lugia. Besides the two, it was also controlled for some time by [[Will]] and [[Karen]] while they were under the Masked Man's jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br />
Lugia makes a brief appearance at the end of the chapter ''[[ET20|Epilogue: Wild Type]]''.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===<br />
[[Shu]] captured Lugia once, but released it in order to let it continue protecting the ocean.<br />

[[File:SSBB Lugia.png|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===<br />
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.<br />
<br />
====Melee trophy information====<br />
''The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.''<br />
<br />
====Brawl trophy information====<br />
<br />
''"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as "guardian of the seas," it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."''<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<!-- Please do not add trivia referring to the episode of E.R. which mentioned Lugia. That belongs on the page: "List of references to Pokémon in popular culture," not here. --><br />
* Lugia is the first legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive normal episodes of the anime.<br />
* Lugia is the only legendary Pokémon to be part of the [[Pokémon All-Stars]] DVD series.<br />
* Lugia has been the mascot of three games, namely: {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], and {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, making it the record holder of most number of times used as a game mascot. <br />
* Before the introduction of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."<br />
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
* Despite not being a {{t|Water|Water type}}, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a {{ct|Water}} in the [[Lugia (TCG)|Trading Card Game]].<br />
* Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest base]] {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{t|Flying}} types. <br />
** Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} for highest base stat total of all Flying types.<br />
* In the book adaptation of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Lugia is mistakenly referred to as a {{2t|Water|Flying}} type Pokémon.<br />
* Lugia's [[Generation IV]], {{Gen|V}}, and {{Gen|VI}} Pokédex entries that mention it being able to cause a 40-day storm may be a biblical reference to {{wp|Noah's Ark}}.<br />
* When Lugia's Shiny form is shown in {{g|Stadium 2}}, it is green rather than pink.<br />
* Lugia is the tallest {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.<br />
* Despite being said to whip up a 40-day storm when flapping its wings, and being part Flying-type, Lugia cannot learn the move [[Hurricane (move)|Hurricane]]. <br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Lugia's origin is unclear. While it is regarded a legendary bird Pokémon, it also has elements of dragons, dinosaurs, and sea creatures. It is suggested that {{wp|Ryūjin}}, a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea, is a possible basis for Lugia. The two have similarities in mythology, and further evidence lies in Lugia's Shiny coloration: red and white are also the colors of the coral of which the {{wp|Ryūgū-jō}}'s palace was made. The beluga whale, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, is also cited as a design source: at the very least, it may also form part of Lugia's name origin. Lugia's back fins and tail spikes are reminiscent of the ''{{wp|Stegosaurus}}''.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Lugia may be derived from ''{{wp|lutetium}}'' (a silverish element), which in turn is named after ''Lutetia'' (the Roman name for {{wp|Paris}}, the city of light). It may also involve ''Lugeo'' (Latin for ''to lie dormant'', alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea) and ''luna'' (Latin for ''moon''). Alternatively, it may come from ''{{wp|beluga whale}}''.<br />

<div>[[Image:VS_Seeker.png|thumb|100px|right|[[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] art of the Vs. Seeker]]<br />
<br />
The '''Vs. Seeker''' (Japanese: '''バトルサーチャー''' ''Battle Searcher'', named without a period in [[Generation III]] as "Vs Seeker") is a [[key item]] that appears in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen|s}}, {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}. It is used to re-battle Trainers that the player has battled previously.<br />
<br />
==Locations and uses of the Vs. Seeker==<br />
[[Image:Vsseeker_obtain.png|thumb|250px|right|Explaining the use of the Vs. Seeker]]<br />
===All games===<br />
When used, the Vs. Seeker sends out a signal that allows [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to find other Trainers who want a rematch. This signal affects all Trainers that are within the player's view. Once used, the device cannot be used again until it is charged. The player does this by walking a total of 100 steps. The effect on the Trainers wears off either when they have been battled, when the player leaves the [[route]], or when the player walks 100 steps within the route. If the player attempts to use the Vs. Seeker when it is not fully charged, the player will be told how many steps remain for it to function. It should be noted that after using the Vs. Seeker, some Trainers may have higher-leveled Pokémon than the last battle, and their Pokémon may even have evolved. The Vs. Seeker is also unable to be used in buildings or caves, even where previously battled Trainers are present.<br />
<br />
===Generation III===<br />
The Vs. Seeker can be obtained from a girl in the [[Vermilion City]] Pokémon Center, claiming that she is giving them out to everyone for free. The indication of a rematch is initially a speech bubble above the Trainers' heads with a black double exclamation mark ('''!!'''). After that, the Trainers jump up and down or raise their hands to remind the player post-battle of who wanted a re-match. Trainers that have not been battled previously by the player display a single red exclamation mark ('''<span style="color:#FF0000">!</span>'''), and do not jump up and down. Trainers that do not wish to battle display a blue speech bubble containing a white <span style="background:#8888FF; color:#FFFFFF">'''X'''</span>.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vsseeker1.gif|thumb|250px|left|{{ga|Red}} uses the Vs. Seeker on {{rt|25|Kanto}}. Five Trainers wish to have a rematch.]]<br />
<br />
===Generation IV===<br />
The Vs. Seeker is received from {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} on [[Sinnoh Route 207|Route 207]] after the first trip down [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In {{v2|Platinum}}, instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]]. The indication of a rematch in Generation IV is similar to that of Generation III. The initial reaction is a speech bubble containing a double red exclamation mark (<span style="color:#FF0000">'''!!'''</span>), and the Trainers rotate in place afterwards. If a Trainer does not want to battle, they will do nothing.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
According to the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the Vs. Seeker was designed by [[Bill]] and works by sensing the fighting spirit of willing Trainers. Its purpose was served when all three Vs. Seekers handed out to {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} shone their lights towards [[Trainer Tower]], allowing them to proceed there.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
The {{TCG|VS Seeker}} has appeared as a card in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Leaf}}, in their Generation III designs, wear them on their [[bag]] straps.<br />
** In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Pokémon Trainer has a Vs. Seeker, as his design is based on Red.<br />
** Red's Vs. Seeker still appears on his Generation IV and [[Generation V]] sprite.<br />
* The [[PokéNav]] and the Vs. Seeker resemble each other somewhat in appearance, and both serve the purpose of allowing players to rechallenge Trainers they previously battled.<br />
* Using the VS. Seeker does not temporarily lower the volume of any current background music, such as [[Cynthia]]'s theme, when playing the [[Piano]] in the [[Villa]] of {{game|Platinum}}.<br />
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]] and Platinum, if the player uses the Vs. Seeker on a certain area of the cycling road part of {{rt|206|Sinnoh}}, it is possible to catch the attention of a {{tc|Hiker}} below the road. However, it is impossible to fight him without using the Vs. Seeker again, as there is a [[gate]] on the way.<br />
*While not used, the Vs. Seeker bag sprite appears in the coding for Generation V games, along with all other items seen only in Generation III and IV.<br />

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. <br />
<br />
She is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
She is a member of the [[eon duo]] of [[Hoenn]] along with {{p|Latios}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Latias is a bird-like dragon Pokémon. She has a highly aerodynamic body, with the shape of a jet airplane, which lets her fly at topflight speeds. The lower half of her body is red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet. Latias has a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest. Latias's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight, further increasing her aerodynamics. The upper-half of Latias's body is white. She has triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
Latias are the female of the species, with the male being {{p|Latios}}. Latias are much smaller and lighter than Latios, Latias' physical characteristics are mainly red while Latios are mainly blue.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Latias can enfold her body with a glass-like down to refract light which can render her invisible or alter her appearance (an exclusive type of Transformation). She is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. She can telepathically communicate with others.<br />
Latias's {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Psychic}} typing has given her the ability to wield attacks of many different elements (except for {{t|Fire}}).<br />
<br />
In the movie ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'' and manga ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios is seeing.<br />
<br />
Latias is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Mist Ball}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Latias will form small herds of several members. They will rarely make contact with people or other Pokémon. If Latias senses hostility towards herself, she will ruffle the feathers all over her body and cry shrilly to intimidate her foe. However, she will usually disappear if she senses an enemy.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]<br />
Latias rarely shows herself to humans, so her location is often found in isolated areas, or in secret havens. However, wherever they do make their homes usually has a body of fresh water.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />

After Latias appears from its [[Poké Ball]], she will fly off the stage. She and Latios will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}} damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.<br />
<br />
==== Trophy Information ====<br />
<br />
Latias appears with her counterpart, Latios.<br />
<br />
''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} were the first [[legendary Pokémon]] to have [[gender]]s.<br />
** They were also the first legendaries to have set genders.<br />
** Despite this, they belong to the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}, and cannot breed.<br />
* Before [[Generation IV]], Latias and Latios either resisted or were weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any.<br />
* Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and {{p|Latios}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.<br />
** However, the pre-battle animation when Latias is found in the wild is not the same as that of regular Pokémon.<br />
* In Generation III, the triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latias has the same color as the main body of her male counterpart Latios, even when {{Shiny}}. <!--The color seems to differs a bit from Generation IV and on--><br />
* Latias and {{p|Lugia}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.<br />
* Latias has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.<br />
** Furthermore, with the item [[Soul Dew]], her {{stat|Special Defense}} rises to the point where she has the second best Special Defense in all the game, only being beaten by {{p|Shuckle}}.<br />
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} both have the highest base Speed of all Dragon-type Pokémon.<br />
[[Image:Latias Blaziken.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]<br />
*A pre-alpha sketch depicts an [[Prototype Pokémon and characters|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.<br />
* Latias weighs exactly as much as {{ga|Ethan}} when viewed from the "Size" data in her Pokédex's entry. It shares this trait with {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}. <br />
* Although [[Eon duo]]'s total movepool by [[level]] and [[TM]] are same, Latias can learn two more [[Generation IV]] [[Move Tutor|tutor moves]] than {{p|Latios}}; {{m|Magic Coat}} and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.<br />
* Latias is the only legendary Pokémon that can be summoned with a [[Ranger Sign]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] that does not have red irises in official Ken Sugimori artwork, although {{p|Entei}} is displayed with orange eyes in its {{pkmn|Dream World}} artwork.<br />
*The Shiny sprite for Latias in Diamond and Pearl depicts her with yellow irises as her normal sprite, this was corrected in Platinum however.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Latias appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and {{p|Latios}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. They may also be based upon the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their [[species]] is "Eon." Latios and Latias are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|Prototype Pokémon and characters|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|Junglefowl}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Latias may derive from ''lateo'' ({{wp|Latin}} for ''to lie hidden''). ''As'' as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more feminine, opposite the more masculine-sounding ''os'' in {{p|Latios}}.<br />
<br />

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. <br />
<br />
She is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
She is a member of the [[eon duo]] of [[Hoenn]] along with {{p|Latios}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Latias is a bird-like dragon Pokémon. She has a highly aerodynamic body, with the shape of a jet airplane, which lets her fly at topflight speeds. The lower half of her body is red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet. Latias has a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest. Latias's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight, further increasing her aerodynamics. The upper-half of Latias's body is white. She has triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
Latias are the female of the species, with the male being {{p|Latios}}. Latias are much smaller and lighter than Latios, Latias' physical characteristics are mainly red while Latios are mainly blue.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Latias can enfold her body with a glass-like down to refract light which can render her invisible or alter her appearance (an exclusive type of Transformation). She is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. She can telepathically communicate with others.<br />
Latias's {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Psychic}} typing has given her the ability to wield attacks of many different elements (except for {{t|Fire}}).<br />
<br />
In the movie ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'' and manga ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios is seeing.<br />
<br />
Latias is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Mist Ball}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Latias will form small herds of several members. They will rarely make contact with people or other Pokémon. If Latias senses hostility towards herself, she will ruffle the feathers all over her body and cry shrilly to intimidate her foe. However, she will usually disappear if she senses an enemy.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]<br />
Latias rarely shows herself to humans, so her location is often found in isolated areas, or in secret havens. However, wherever they do make their homes usually has a body of fresh water.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />

<br />
====Other====<br />
A Latias also appeared in ''[[PK16|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'' where, along with Latios, she used her powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "{{p|Wailord}}'s Tear" beneath the ocean.<br />
<br />
A Latias appeared in [[SS025]] under the ownership of [[Nurse Joy]]. She was used against [[Forrest]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} in a battle to prove Forrest's capabilities as a potential Gym Leader, where Latias proved victorious.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
Latias made a brief cameo along with Latios at the beginning of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Latias Maid Adventures.png|thumb|Latias as a human in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Latias, along with Latios, was befriended by {{Adventures|Emerald}} and took the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. She has appeared as a human a few times as the saga continued by using her ability to reflect light.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Latias (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
==Other appearances==<br />
[[File:SSBB Latias and Latios.png|220px|thumb|Latias and Latios Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br />
After Latias appears from its [[Poké Ball]], she will fly off the stage. She and Latios will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}} damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.<br />
<br />
==== Trophy Information ====<br />
<br />
Latias appears with her counterpart, Latios.<br />
<br />
''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''<br />
<br />
==Game data==<br />
===NPC appearances===<br />
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: If the ball drops out of the [[Sapphire Field]] while the "Ball Saver" is active, Latias will rescue it and place it on {{p|Spoink}} without the ball being lost. <br />

If red is selected, Latias roams Hoenn and Latios is found at the island. If blue is selected, Latias is found at the island and Latios roams Hoenn. <br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} were the first [[legendary Pokémon]] to have [[gender]]s.<br />
** They were also the first legendaries to have set genders.<br />
** Despite this, they belong to the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}, and cannot breed.<br />
* Before [[Generation IV]], Latias and Latios either resisted or were weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any.<br />
* Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and {{p|Latios}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.<br />
** However, the pre-battle animation when Latias is found in the wild is not the same as that of regular Pokémon.<br />
* In Generation III, the triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latias has the same color as the main body of her male counterpart Latios, even when {{Shiny}}. <!--The color seems to differs a bit from Generation IV and on--><br />
* Latias and {{p|Lugia}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.<br />
* Latias has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.<br />
** Furthermore, with the item [[Soul Dew]], her {{stat|Special Defense}} rises to the point where she has the second best Special Defense in all the game, only being beaten by {{p|Shuckle}}.<br />
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} both have the highest base Speed of all Dragon-type Pokémon.<br />
[[Image:Latias Blaziken.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]<br />
*A pre-alpha sketch depicts an [[Prototype Pokémon and characters|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.<br />
* Latias weighs exactly as much as {{ga|Ethan}} when viewed from the "Size" data in her Pokédex's entry. It shares this trait with {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}. <br />
* Although [[Eon duo]]'s total movepool by [[level]] and [[TM]] are same, Latias can learn two more [[Generation IV]] [[Move Tutor|tutor moves]] than {{p|Latios}}; {{m|Magic Coat}} and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.<br />
* Latias is the only legendary Pokémon that can be summoned with a [[Ranger Sign]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] that does not have red irises in official Ken Sugimori artwork, although {{p|Entei}} is displayed with orange eyes in its {{pkmn|Dream World}} artwork.<br />
*The Shiny sprite for Latias in Diamond and Pearl depicts her with yellow eyes as her normal sprite, this was corrected in Platinum however.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Latias appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and {{p|Latios}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. They may also be based upon the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their [[species]] is "Eon." Latios and Latias are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|Prototype Pokémon and characters|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|Junglefowl}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Latias may derive from ''lateo'' ({{wp|Latin}} for ''to lie hidden''). ''As'' as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more feminine, opposite the more masculine-sounding ''os'' in {{p|Latios}}.<br />

<div>'''Fishing''' is a recreation that is commonly seen in the [[Pokémon world]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Fishing is one way to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. There are three fishing rods that are given out throughout the course of each {{pkmn|games|game}}, and each one is given out by a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]]. The exception is in {{2v2|Black|White}}, where only the Super Rod is available, and it is obtained from [[Looker]].<br />

===Catching Pokémon===<br />
====Generation I and Generation II====<br />
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. Sometimes, it will hook a Pokémon, and start a {{pkmn|battle}}. Other times, it will catch nothing. There is a random chance of either happening, so if the rod catches nothing, players can feel free to cast it out again.<br />
<br />
====Generation III====<br />
Starting with [[Generation III]], fishing became more complicated, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}.<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
[[File:PokéPark Fishing Rally fishing ocean.jpg|thumb|Fishing in PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]]<br />
In [[Generation IV]], the {{player}} would use the rod, and an exclamation mark-like sign would pop up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In [[Generation V]], fishing mechanics are mostly unchanged from [[Generation IV]]. However, by fishing in {{DL|Phenomenon|rippling water}}, different Pokémon can be caught, generally being rare Pokémon or the evolved forms of the Pokémon normally found. As such, this allows certain Pokémon such as {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Poliwrath}} to be caught in the wild, while normally they would not. Furthermore, the Old and Good Rods are no longer available, making the {{player}} have a single rod to fish Pokémon with.<br />
<br />
===PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS===<br />
{{main|PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS}}<br />
[[PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]] is a game focused on fishing for Pokémon. Points are earned for the size, rarity, and species of the caught Pokémon. Up to five Pokémon can be stored at once, and high scores could be seen at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}}s, while the game was still available for download.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Cilan fishing rod.png|thumb|right|250px|Cilan holding a fishing rod]]<br />
Numerous episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} have featured the group fishing.<br />
<br />
At the {{safari|Kanto}}, a fishing rod is distributed with the {{ball|Safari}}s.<br />
<br />
Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. In ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', a [[Sullivan|fisherman]] believed that the secret to catching the [[Nero|Whiscash]] he was looking for, was finding the right lure. {{an|Misty}} has a collection of lures, including a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to {{Ash}} as a gift in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. {{Ash}} used this lure in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]'' to try to catch a powerful {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} used his fishing skills to catch a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} that was preventing {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon. Like others before him, {{an|Cilan}} uses a fishing lure based on himself. In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} showed his fishing skills again when he caught a {{p|Basculin}} in {{TRT}}'s fake fishing competition.<br />
<br />
A Super Rod made its debut in the anime in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' as the item {{an|Iris}} had to find for a scavenger hunt.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to fish in the bottom of the statues in [[Gym]]s (except for the [[Saffron Gym|Saffron]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]]s) or any room of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]].

<div>'''Fishing''' is a recreation that is commonly seen in the [[Pokémon world]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Fishing is one way to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod.

Starting with [[Generation III]], fishing became more complicated, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}.<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
[[File:PokéPark Fishing Rally fishing ocean.jpg|thumb|Fishing in PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]]<br />
In [[Generation IV]], the {{player}} would use the rod, and an exclamation mark-like sign would pop up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In [[Generation V]], fishing mechanics are mostly unchanged from [[Generation IV]]. However, by fishing in {{DL|Phenomenon|rippling water}}, different Pokémon can be caught, generally being rare Pokémon or the evolved forms of the Pokémon normally found. As such, this allows certain Pokémon such as {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Poliwrath}} to be caught in the wild, while normally they would not. Furthermore, the Old and Good Rods are no longer available, making the {{player}} have a single rod to fish Pokémon with.<br />
<br />
===PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS===<br />
{{main|PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS}}<br />
[[PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]] is a game focused on fishing for Pokémon. Points are earned for the size, rarity, and species of the caught Pokémon. Up to five Pokémon can be stored at once, and high scores could be seen at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}}s, while the game was still available for download.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Cilan fishing rod.png|thumb|right|250px|Cilan holding a fishing rod]]<br />
Numerous episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} have featured the group fishing.<br />
<br />
At the {{safari|Kanto}}, a fishing rod is distributed with the {{ball|Safari}}s.<br />
<br />
Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. In ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', a [[Sullivan|fisherman]] believed that the secret to catching the [[Nero|Whiscash]] he was looking for, was finding the right lure. {{an|Misty}} has a collection of lures, including a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to {{Ash}} as a gift in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. {{Ash}} used this lure in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]'' to try to catch a powerful {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} used his fishing skills to catch a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} that was preventing {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon. Like others before him, {{an|Cilan}} uses a fishing lure based on himself. In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} showed his fishing skills again when he caught a {{p|Basculin}} in {{TRT}}'s fake fishing competition.<br />
<br />
A Super Rod made its debut in the anime in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' as the item {{an|Iris}} had to find for a scavenger hunt.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to fish in the bottom of the statues in [[Gym]]s (except for the [[Saffron Gym|Saffron]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]]s) or any room of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. However, when using the Super Rod in any [[Gym]] or [[Elite Four]] room other than [[Cerulean Gym]] or [[Lorelei]]'s room, the game will say "''Looks like there's nothing here.''"<br />
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the "!" will occasionally appear above the partner Pokémon instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite.<br />
* The Super Rod is the only fishing rod that is obtainable in {{game|Black and White|s}}. The Old and Good Rods, while still existent in the game's programming, cannot be obtained without hacking, and cannot be used; however, oddly enough, they can be [[held item|held]] by a Pokémon.<br />

In Black and White 2, these Rods cannot be obtained without hacking. The Super Rod, unlike the Old and Good Rods, actually can be used to fish for Pokemon. Although you would be catching Pokemon that require the [[National Pokedex]], like Goldeen, as the Pokedex would give a ??? in place of the number in the Unova Pokedex.<br />

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}.<br />
====Generation IV====<br />
[[File:PokéPark Fishing Rally fishing ocean.jpg|thumb|Fishing in PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]]<br />
In [[Generation IV]], the {{player}} would use the rod, and an exclamation mark-like sign would pop up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
In [[Generation V]], fishing mechanics are mostly unchanged from [[Generation IV]]. However, by fishing in {{DL|Phenomenon|rippling water}}, different Pokémon can be caught, generally being rare Pokémon or the evolved forms of the Pokémon normally found. As such, this allows certain Pokémon such as {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Poliwrath}} to be caught in the wild, while normally they would not. Furthermore, the Old and Good Rods are no longer available, making the {{player}} have a single rod to fish Pokémon with.<br />
<br />
===PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS===<br />
{{main|PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS}}<br />
[[PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]] is a game focused on fishing for Pokémon. Points are earned for the size, rarity, and species of the caught Pokémon. Up to five Pokémon can be stored at once, and high scores could be seen at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}}s, while the game was still available for download.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Cilan fishing rod.png|thumb|right|250px|Cilan holding a fishing rod]]<br />
Numerous episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} have featured the group fishing.<br />
<br />
At the {{safari|Kanto}}, a fishing rod is distributed with the {{ball|Safari}}s.<br />
<br />
Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. In ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', a [[Sullivan|fisherman]] believed that the secret to catching the [[Nero|Whiscash]] he was looking for, was finding the right lure. {{an|Misty}} has a collection of lures, including a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to {{Ash}} as a gift in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. {{Ash}} used this lure in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]'' to try to catch a powerful {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} used his fishing skills to catch a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} that was preventing {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon. Like others before him, {{an|Cilan}} uses a fishing lure based on himself. In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} showed his fishing skills again when he caught a {{p|Basculin}} in {{TRT}}'s fake fishing competition.<br />
<br />
A Super Rod made its debut in the anime in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' as the item {{an|Iris}} had to find for a scavenger hunt.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to fish in the bottom of the statues in [[Gym]]s (except for the [[Saffron Gym|Saffron]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]]s) or any room of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. However, when using the Super Rod in any [[Gym]] or [[Elite Four]] room other than [[Cerulean Gym]] or [[Lorelei]]'s room, the game will say "''Looks like there's nothing here.''"<br />
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the "!" will occasionally appear above the partner Pokémon instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite.<br />
* The Super Rod is the only fishing rod that is obtainable in {{game|Black and White|s}}. The Old and Good Rods, while still existent in the game's programming, cannot be obtained without hacking, and cannot be used; however, oddly enough, they can be [[held item|held]] by a Pokémon. In {{game|Black 2 and White 2}}, these Rods cannot be obtained without hacking. The Super Rod, unlike the Old and Good Rods, actually can be used to fish for Pokemon. Although you would be catching Pokemon that require the [[National Pokedex]], like Goldeen, as the Pokedex would give a ??? in place of the number in the Unova Pokedex.<br />

<!--Please DO NOT describe your opinions of Pokémorphs here and always contribute meaningful information with a neutral point of view.--><br />
[[File:Pikachu Pokémorph.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Drawing of a Pikachu Pokémorph, named Stunner Pikans, drawn by Shawntae Howard. The character is an anthropomorphic Pikachu from the community fan comic, ''PokéCombat Academy''.]]<br />
'''Pokémorph''' is a popular term used [[fanon|among fans]] to describe two things; it is used as a term for either a character, usually a human, that has the ability to {{m|transform}} into one or more Pokémon, or an anthropomorphic Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The term and its meanings are not used in any Pokémon canon; all Pokémorphs of either kind (though more so the anthropomorphic kind) are within the realms of [[fan fiction]], fan art, fan comics and {{wp|dōjinshi}}, role playing forums, and various {{wp|MUSH|MUSHes}}.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
It is not known exactly how or when the term "Pokémorph" came into existence within the Pokémon fandom and accurate information pertaining to the history of the term is scarce. It is presumed that the term and/or its initial meaning existed since around the time that Pokémon {{2v2|Red|Blue}} were released worldwide. "Pokémorphs" were first used to describe any fictional characters that could shapeshift into various Pokémon species. These characters, a derivative of "Pokémon" and "polymorphism", were usually based upon the ''{{wp|Animorphs}}'' book series by {{wp|K. A. Applegate}}.<br />
<br />
Over time however, "Pokémorphs", this time derived from "Pokémon" and "anthropomorphism", were then used to describe fictional Pokémon characters who had a combination of both human and Pokémon attributes. These Pokémorphs usually have the physical shapes and sizes of humans, with the appearances and powers of a single Pokémon, as well as mixtures of both human and Pokémon abilities, behaviours and characteristics, such as various forms of communication (e.g. verbal speech between both humans and Pokémon). This "anthropomorphic Pokémon" explanation increased in use as these kinds of fan characters became more prevalent over the years while the original "polymorphic Pokémon" term faded in popularity. Currently, "Pokémorph" is almost always used to refer to an anthropomorphic Pokémon, though its older "polymorphic" meaning is still used in some newer fan fiction to this day.<br />
<br />
===Relations to the furry fandom===<br />
It is assumed by several Pokémon fans and some non-fans who are aware of Pokémorphs that most, if not all, Pokémorphs of the anthropomorphic kind are either closely related to or are the Pokémon-based version of {{wp|Furry fandom|furries}}, which are fictional anthropomorphic animals that are part of the furry fandom subculture. The furry fandom has been rather infamous for various {{wp|Furry fandom#Public perception and media coverage|perceptions and portrayals}} by non-fans and the media that those who relate to this fandom are believed to have a strong {{wp|Furry fandom#Sexual aspects|sexual interest}} in anthropomorphic animals. Likewise, several Pokémon fans tend to look down on anthropomorphic Pokémon because of their negative views and beliefs that they are "Pokéfurries", such as in this biased definition of a Pokémorph in a "Guide to Writing Non-Sucky Pokémon Fan Fiction":<ref>"Stinkoman" (real name unknown) (March 2007). [http://web.archive.org/web/20090830060225/http://geocities.com/stinkoman/fanficguide/c2.html The Guide to Writing Non-Sucky Pokémon Fan Fiction | Chapter 2: Glossary of Important Terms]. {{wp|Geocities}}. Archive taken from {{wp|Archive.org}} capture. Retrieved July 24, 2011.</ref><br />
<blockquote><br />
<p>'''Pokémorph''' - I shudder as I write this, but it is a sacrifice I as an author am required to make. A Pokémorph is a creature that is a combination of a Pokémon and a human. It is essentially the Pokémon equivalent of a furry. (If you don't know what a furry is, consider yourself lucky.) Pokémorphs (and the stories that include them) are very popular in furry circles, and should be avoided at all costs.</p><br />
</blockquote><br />
However, contradicting the above "definition", the furry fandom does not generally see Pokémorphs as a part of their fandom, rather seeing Pokémorphs as an extension of the Pokémon fandom. As quoted on WikiFur:<br />
<blockquote><br />
<p>As a general rule, not all people with Pokémorph characters are furries. In point of fact, these people play such characters out of a kind of fandom for the video game they were based on. As such, unless a person with such a character says they are a furry, they should not be considered to be a furry. To them, it is more of an interest in the subject and fandom of the game which is thought of as separate from the furry fandom, although there are some with Pokémorph characters who are actually furries and also have separate furry characters. In some general consensus, the number of actual furs with such characters is low, though this is not confirmed and is subject to shifting even lower, or higher as time passes.<ref>[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9morph#Pok.C3.A9morphs.2C_furries.2C_and_people Pokémorph - WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia | Section, "Pokémorphs, furries, and people"]. WikiFur. Retrieved July 24, 2011.</ref></p><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
==Types==<br />
The simple naming scheme of a specific species of Pokémorph is adding the suffix, "-morph", to the name of a [[Pokémon species]] (e.g. "{{p|Pikachu}}-morph"). However, despite the basic descriptions above, Pokémorphs come in a variety of different forms, beyond being simply humans mixed with different species of Pokémon. <br />
<br />
===List of Pokémorph types===<br />
Most of these different types are based on the anthropomorphic meaning of Pokémorphs:<br />
* '''"Human" Pokémorphs''' - Pokémorphs that look much like humans, but are still referred to as "morphs" due to that they are able to use a Pokémon's attacks or abilities. Rarely, they may also have some of a Pokémon's behaviours and instincts.<br />
* '''Polymorphic Pokémorphs''' - As aforementioned, these Pokémorphs are usually humans who have the ability to transform into a Pokémon, mostly at will. They were usually based off of K. A. Applegate's ''Animorphs'' books.<br />
* '''{{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|Moe anthropomorphic}} Pokémorphs''', also known as "'''<span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka Gijinka]</span> Pokémon'''" - Anthropomorphic Pokémon that look mostly human, but contain ''{{wp|Moe (slang)|moe}}'' qualities. Many of these Pokémorphs tend to look like humans in {{wp|cosplay}}, though they often have some Pokémon features, such as tails, ears, fins, and wings. <br />
* '''Taur Pokémorphs''' - Based off the {{wp|centaur|centaurs}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, these Pokémorphs have the upper body (head, arms, and torso) of a human, but the lower body (and, occasionally, the ears) of a Pokémon with a quadruped or other multi-legged body. Bipedal variations of these Pokémorphs are very rare.<br />
* '''Naga Pokémorphs''' - Based off the {{wp|Nāga|nāgas}} of {{wp|Hinduism}} and {{wp|Buddhism}}, these Pokémorphs have some of the parts, especially the arms, of a human, but the body and appearances of a serpentine Pokémon, such as {{p|Arbok}} and {{p|Seviper}}.<br />
* '''Traditional anthropomorphic Pokémorphs''' - Currently the most common form of Pokémorphs, they basically look like Pokémon with humanoid body forms. The Pikachu-morph character seen at the top of the article, Stunner Pikans, is an example of this type.<br />
* '''Combiomorph''' - A rare kind of Pokémorph, combiomorphs were created by fan fiction writer, <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1507250/pikachuhunter1 pikachuhunter1]</span>, in the fan fiction, ''<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4095642/1/Pokemon_Periwinkle_Its_Real Pokémon Periwinkle: It's Real]</span>''. They are described by pikachuhunter1 as "a combination of two Pokémon and a human. The human side of them is the most prominent, and whoever is afflicted with being a combiomorph is able to turn into either [one] of the Pokémon associated with them." Their appearances look similar to that of chimeras, which are mythical creatures composed of different animal parts.<br />
<br />
==Notable fan creations==<br />
This is a list of fan-made media involving Pokémorphs that are considered notable in the Pokémon fandom:<br />
<br />
* The [http://pokedex.deviantart.com/ Gijinka Pokédex Project] - A deviantArt group that focuses on anthropomorphic Pokémon. An overwhelming majority of the fan art in this group are based on the moe anthropomorphic (gijinka) type of Pokémorphs.<br />
* [[Hack games#Moemon|Moemon]] - A hack of Pokémon {{v2|FireRed}} that changes all Pokémon into gijinka.<br />
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3553005/1/Morphic Morphic]'' - A fan fiction written by [[The Cave of Dragonflies]] webmaster "Butterfree", also known as "Dragonfree" or "Antialiasis", that is known as a well-written <span class="plainlinks">[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Deconstruction deconstruction]</span> of Pokémorphs. <br />
* ''[http://editthis.info/pca_central/Main_Page Pokémorph Combat Academy]'' - A community fan fiction/comic series created by <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ebonyleopard Shawntae Howard]</span>, who also created the furry comic series, ''{{wp|Extinctioners}}''.

<hr />
<div>[[File:PCCenter.gif|frame|right|The Pokémon Communication Center in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, seen here in a hacked English version with the facility and the unused English scripts restored.]]<br />
The '''Pokémon Communication Center''' or '''PokéCom Center''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモンコミュニケーションセンター|Pokémon Komunikēshon Sentā}}''' ''Pokémon Communication Center'') is an expanded [[Pokémon Center]] found exclusively in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}. In that game, it replaces the normal Pokémon Center in {{ci|Goldenrod}}. This building houses the machines necessary to use the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It was never implemented outside of {{wp|Japan}}, likely due to the fact that cell phones were not as advanced or popular in other regions at the time. Despite this, it is still present in the code of the international releases. It is similar to the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|GTS]], [[Global Terminal]], [[Wi-Fi Plaza]], and the [[Pokémon Net Center]].<br />
<br />
==Special event==<br />
The Pokémon Communication Center had a special mobile {{pkmn2|event}} which allowed players to obtain the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]], may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, taking the GS Ball to [[Ilex Forest shrine|the shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]] summons a level 30 {{p|Celebi}} to battle.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The Pokémon Communication Center's location in Goldenrod City may have inspired the [[Global Terminal]]'s location in the same city in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
* Inside the Adminstration Office, the upper-left PC will read an email saying that they will keep working on until the day when all trainers around the world will be able to link together without barriers. This turned out to be true when the release of Diamond and Pearl brought players around the world together with Wi-Fi.<br />

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}<br />
'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター ハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター ソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.<br />
<br />
Much like how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as [[Starter Pokémon#Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters]].<br />
<br />
{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
The plot of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are mostly the same as Gold and Silver with a few changes and included plot elements exclusive to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]. [[Player character|The player]], either [[Ethan (game)|Ethan]] or [[Lyra (game)|Lyra]] begins his journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|egg}}, the player returns to New Bark Town, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark Town, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving at Violet City, the player must first defeat the Elder [[Li]] at [[Sprout Tower]] before facing the Violet City gym. He has just been defeated by [[Silver]] and after defeating Li, he gives the player {{m|Flash}}. After defeating Falkner for the {{badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are sacred in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a [[Lure Ball]] and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up, however, unlike the one found in [[Kanto]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}, it is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. The Day Care functions the same way as in other [[Generation IV|Generation IV games]]. If these Pokémon are [[egg group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon egg]] can be produced.<br />
<br />
Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third badge, the {{badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Plain badge, getting a [[Squirtbottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be on at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in Ecruteak City, where the {{type2|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{badge|Fog}}. The player encounters the [[legendary beasts]] in the [[Burned Tower]] and they [[Roaming Pokemon|run off]] around Johto. The player also meets [[Eusine]] who is studying the Burned Tower and takes interest in [[Suicune]]. <br />
<br />
The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood City. There, they encounter the {{type2|Fighting}} type Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine City. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{type2|Steel}}. When the player gets their sixth badge, the {{badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s. <br />
<br />
The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the [[Magikarp]] in the lake to evolve into [[Gyarados]], which caused the effect of the [[Red Gyarados]]. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type2|Ice}} Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.<br />
<br />
After clearing all of the Rockets and defeating the {{tc|Executive|Rocket executives}}, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the HeartGold and SoulSilver versions respectively. The player then is allowed to go through the Ice Path and to Blackthorn City. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type2|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and take a test before they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 badges, the player is given the Master Ball by Elm and is requested to visit the Kimono Girls to prove their worthiness. After defeating the Kimono Girls, the player will either go to the Bell Tower (HeartGold) or the Whirl Islands (SoulSilver) to encounter Ho-oh (HeartGold) or Lugia (SoulSilver). Then the player is allowed to go east of New Bark into Kanto.<br />
<br />
From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.<br />
<br />
The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], whose specialty is {{t|Poison}}. [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, follows, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{type2|DarkT}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]] whom the player met at the Lake of Rage, challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, Oak and his co-host on [[Professor_Oak's_Pokémon_Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.<br />
<br />
=== Postgame ===<br />
<br />
The player then returns to their bedroom in New Bark Town. They head downstairs and recieve a message that Professor Elm has something for them. Returning to his lab the player recieves an [[SS Ticket]] for the fast ship [[SS Aqua]] departing to the region of [[Kanto]], where many rare Pokémon live. The player boards the ship in Olivine city and is bombarded by a sailor looking for his daughter who got loose on the ship. Searching the whole ship, the player finds a sailor who is angry that his co-worker is asleep on the job. Finding him and challenging him to a battle, he runs out of his cabin to join the mate. The player later finds the missing girl in the bottom of the ship. The girl asks the player to play hide and seek with her. The man from before then finds the girl as she mentions that the player was playing with her. The girl's grandpa thanks the player as the ship arrives at [[Vermillion City]] in Kanto.<br />
<br />
Deciding to take on the gyms of Kanto, the player enters the gym in Vermillion City, defeating [[Lt. Surge]] who specializes in {{type2|Electric}} types, and earning the {{badge|Thunder}}. The player travels north to [[Saffron City]] and enters the gym there defeating [[Sabrina]], who specializes in {{type2|Psychic}} types and had envisioned the player's arrival three years prior, and earns the {{badge|Marsh}}. Still, in Saffron, the player encounters the [[Copycat]] in her new house who seems to have misplaced her Pokémon doll. Going back to Vermillion's [[Pokémon Fan Club]] the player sees the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Lost Item}} and retrieves it bringing it back to the copycat who gives the player a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|pass}} to the Saffron [[Magnet Train]].<br />
<br />
The player then travels east of Saffron to [[Celadon City]] and travels to the gym taking on [[Erika]] and winning the {{badge|Rainbow}}. Going back to Saffron and traveling east, the player comes to the [[Power Plant]] where they find that an important part of a machine in the plant has been stolen and they are unable to get the machine running. Traveling north of Saffron to [[Cerulean City]] the player finds out that a suspicious character has been hanging out around the gym. Traveling north onto [[Kanto Route 24|Route 24]] the player finds and battles a [[Team Rocket]] grunt who is trying to revive the team unbeknowst to the fact that the team in Johto was disbanded by the player. The player defeats the grunt who admits that he dropped the part in the Cerulean Gym. The player goes to the gym and retrieves the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Machine Part}}. They return it to the Power Plant and the machine is once again made up and running.<br />
<br />
The player then moves throught the [[Rock Tunnel]] arriving at [[Lavender Town]] where they discover that the former [[Pokémon Tower]] has now become a Radio Tower for Kanto. Talking to the director inside the tower, they receive the Radio Expansion Card which allows them to listen to radio stations in Kanto as a reward for restoring power at the power plant. Travelling the length of the [[Silence Bridge]] and [[Kanto Route 13|Routes 13]], [[Kanto Route 14|14]], and [[Kanto Route 15|15]], the player arrives at [[Fuschia City]] and takes on the gym leader [[Janine]] who specializes in {{type2|Poison}} types winning the {{badge|Soul}}. Going back north to Cerulean and the up to Route 24, the player challenges the Nugget Crew and finds [[Misty]] with her boyfriend at [[Cerulean Cape]]. Misty's boyfriend runs off angering her until she realizes that the player is indeed, a challenger. The player returns to Cerulean Gym and takes on Misty's {{type2|Water}} types winning the {{badge|Cascade}}.<br />
<br />
Returning again to Vermillion City, the player recalls the large Pokémon sleeping outside the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] on the eastern edge of town. He/she plays the Pokéflute Station on their radio which awakens and angers the Pokémon, a giant [[Snorlax]]. After capturing, defeating, or running away from it, the player enters and goes through the Diglett's Cave emerging on [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]] just south of [[Pewter City]]. The player goes north to Pewter City and challenges [[Brock]] and his {{type2|rock}} types and earns the {{badge|Boulder}}.<br />
<br />
The player travels south across Route 2 and through the [[Viridian Forest]] before arriving at [[Viridian City]] the player continues south to [[Pallet Town]] and the surfs to [[Cinnabar Island]]. There, the player sees [[Blue]] who mentions how the town previously found on the island was destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and that the town's gym leader had to relocate his gym to the nearby [[Seafoam Islands]]. Blue then goes back to his own gym in Viridian. The player travels east to the Seafoam Islands and find's [[Blaine|Blaine's]] {{type2|Fire}} type gym within the islands and challenges him to earn the {{badge|Volcano}}.'<br />
<br />
The player travels back to Viridian City and challenges Blue in his gym, which does not seem to have any specialty in types, and defeats him to earn the {{badge|Earth}}. The player goes back to Pallet Town and visits [[Professor Oak]] in his laboratory. Oak sees that the player has earned all of the gym badges in Kanto and decides to allow him to enter [[Mt. Silver]], a mountain so dangerous the average trainer is not allowed to enter it, to challenge [[Red]] who has been the champion of Kanto for three years and trains there constantly. The player goes to [[Mt. Silver]] and climbs to the top to find Red training mutely, and challenges him to a battle. After a hard-fought battle, the player defeats Red becoming the new champion of Kanto and Red walks away without saying a word. The credits roll again.<br />
<br />
==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==<br />
===Aesthetic changes===<br />
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.<br />
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.<br />
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.<br />
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.<br />
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|left|150px|Redesigned Pokédex]]<br />
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.<br />
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.<br />
* {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s are redesigned once again. The Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}}s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Ariana]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.<br />
* The Tin Tower is renamed the [[Bell Tower]].<br />
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.<br />
* All former {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.<br />
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles. <br />
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.<br />
* {{m|Rock Climb}}, despite it not being available prior to [[Generation IV]], continues to be [[HM08]] and requires the [[Viridian Gym]] badge. As a result, several caves and cliffs have markings which allow them to be scaled like in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on {{rt|32|Johto}}, as well as in [[Goldenrod City]] where the tracks were previously on street-level.<br />
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].<br />
* The player can now see how many Kanto badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto badges they had.<br />
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.<br />
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3|Kanto}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of the Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3|Kanto}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.<br />
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.<br />
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.<br />
* When viewing the [[stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be very light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[nature]], and one will be very light red, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.<br />
* [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] contains balconies that are used to navigate through the tower. While on the balconies, the overhead viewing angle of the player changes. This is the first such instance of camera angle variation in the main series games and would later be implemented in different variations in {{game|Black and White|s}}.<br />
<br />
===Location changes===<br />
[[File:HGSS JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]<br />
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.<br />
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} seen in Platinum.<br />
* Two new routes, {{rt|47|Johto}} and {{rt|48|Johto}}, are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new {{safari|Johto}}, as well as the [[Embedded Tower]] and the [[Cliff Cave]].<br />
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.<br />
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.<br />
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.<br />
* [[Union Cave]]'s ladder from 1F to B1F has been shifted north (now closer to the north entrance). There are also many minor changes to B1F.<br />
* The {{rt|23|Kanto}} in Generation II is now a part of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Route 23 no longer exists.<br />
<br />
===Gameplay changes===<br />
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.<br />
* A new series of events precede encountering the [[version mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the version mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.<br />
* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from [[Ecruteak City#Kimono Dance Theater|the dance theater]] in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[version mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]] (in HeartGold) and [[Whirl Islands]] (in SoulSilver) where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}, respectively.<br />
** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were to be battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theatre in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a mischievous [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.<br />
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Apricorn Box}}. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.<br />
* While the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}} only allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}} in HeartGold and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.<br />
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Pokégear|Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.<br />
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.<br />
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained.<br />
* The [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.<br />
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. [[Hoenn]]'s legendaries, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. The [[legendary birds]] can also be found in certain locations in Kanto while {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found at [[Cerulean Cave]]. <br />
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.<br />
* The [[Enigma Stone]] is an event key item that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can allow other Eon Pokémon to be encountered (i.e. Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver, respectively).<br />
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.<br />
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.<br />
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.<br />
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.<br />
[[Image:Pokewalker.png|thumb|right|150px|The Pokéwalker]]<br />
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[happiness]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.<br />
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from {{tc|Juggler}}s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's [[mom]] (if the player allows their mom to save money). Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}, where the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|SquirtBottle}} is controlled via the touch screen to water four berries at a time.<br />
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase a Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats by putting Apricorns in the blender and walking around.<br />
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.<br />
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.<br />
* Passing certain parts in the game can also affect the rematches by improving the team of the trainers that can be re-battled. By defeating the Elite Four and then after collecting the 16 badges the Pokémon team of that trainer are fought at higher levels as long as each rematch phase has been fought at least once.<br />
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]], respectively, as appreciation for defeating Red.<br />
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.<br />
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.<br />
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.<br />
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.<br />
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.<br />
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.<br />
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.<br />
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.<br />
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[move tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.<br />
* Similar to {{game|Crystal}}, the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player sees them fleeing in the [[Burned Tower]], with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be encountered in battle at {{rt|25|Kanto}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]]. Suicune can be seen running around in certain locations across Johto, as well as and Kanto.<br />
*The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.<br />
*Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.<br />
*In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.<br />
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto. Curiously, however, it's not possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Route]]s {{rtn|4|Kanto}} and {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, whereas it was possible in FireRed and LeafGreen, but not in the original Gold and Silver.<br />
* The clock reset interface from the original Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed, as was the case with {{game|Crystal}}. In its replacement is a microphone test interface which can be accessed via the button combination X,Y and Down on the title screen; though this feature, unlike the clock reset interface has been officially mentioned by Nintendo via the game instruction booklet.<br />
* Any special Pokémon, such as {{p|Sudowoodo}}, can respawn to their specific location after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]] at any time, that is, if the Pokémon are first defeated.<br />
<br />
==Pokémon==<br />
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[happiness]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Pokémon outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug-Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.<br />
<br />
In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.<br />
<br />
As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.<br />

==Reception==<br />
<br />
The games received an 8.5/10 "Great" rating from {{wp|IGN}}<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/143/14348189.html IGN: Pokemon SoulSilver Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>. Pokémon SoulSilver Version received an 87.94% at {{wp|Game Rankings}}<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/960100-pokemon-soulsilver-version/index.html Game Ranking: Pokemon SoulSilver Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, ranking as the 10<sup>th</sup> best DS game of all time<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/index.html Game Ranking: DS Games index] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, while HeartGold Version received a slightly less 87.83%<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/960099-pokemon-heartgold-version/index.html Game Ranking: Pokemon HeartGold Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, also ranking the 6th most popular game, surpassed by {{wp|Super Scribblenauts}}, {{game|Diamond}}, {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|White}}, and {{game|Black}}<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/index.html Game Ranking: DS Games index] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Several figures were given away with pre-orders. People could receive a {{p|Ho-Oh}} figure by pre-ordering HeartGold, a {{p|Lugia}} figure by pre-ordering SoulSilver, and an {{p|Arceus}} figure by pre-ordering the Japanese versions of both HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br />
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.<br />
** The games were also released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, and exactly eleven years after {{game|Yellow}}, the first game to feature walking Pokémon. <br />
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many [[Trainer class]]es shared between regions, like Hikers and Psychics, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.<br />
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.<br />
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.<br />
***The heart in the Ho-Oh crest is identical to the heart logo of the ''[http://www.khwiki.net/Kingdom_Hearts_(game)| Kingdom Hearts]''series.<br />
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.<br />
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the first in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).<br />
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Hoenn]]'s former Champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.<br />
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts a Pokémon of any kind, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.<br />
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.<br />
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the {{pkmn|Champion}}s from each of the previous paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.<br />
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.<br />
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.<br />
* Another minor quirk is that the player will sometimes seem to be standing in the same spot as large Pokémon following them, such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.<br />
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.<br />
* These titles are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French, other than just in English.<br />
** Similarly, these titles are the second set of Pokémon games (after the original {{2v2|Red|Blue}}) to be released in Latin America in Spanish.<br />
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.<br />
* HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, have [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] specialists for every type except the {{type|Ground}}. However, [[Giovanni]], a former Kanto Gym Leader who specialized in the Ground-type, appears during a special event and can be battled.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
*A typo exists in the script of the English versions. Upon evaluating the [[National Pokédex]] with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught when talking to [[Professor Oak]], he, like in all the other Pokémon games he is in, will congratulate the player. However, in the sentence "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!" of his speech, the lowercase L should be an I instead.<br />
*Another typo exists in {{p|Froslass}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver; the period at the end is missing. This is not the case in HeartGold.<br />
*{{p|Goldeen}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver states that its speed is 5 knots per hour. A knot isn't a measure of distance, but speed. Thus, knots per hour measures acceleration.<br />
*After receiving the {{badge|Rising}} from Clair in [[Dragon's Den]], players do not receive [[TM59]] from [[Clair]] on their way out as they normally would, if they use {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}} or an [[Escape Rope]] to leave.<br />

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]<br />
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.<br />
<br />
==Main Regions==<br />
<br />
===Kanto===<br />
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.<br />

===Unova===<br />
Unova has been said to be significantly distant from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Instead of being based on an area of Japan, Unova is based around the {{wp|Manhattan}} area of {{wp|New York City}}.<br />

While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.<br />

* In ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', an ad on a book mentions "Chinese Noodles."<br />
* [[Lt. Surge]] is known as "The Lightning {{wp|United States|American}}!"<br />
* {{p|Mew}} was originally discovered in the jungles of the {{wp|South America}}n country [[Guyana]]. This is mentioned in logs inside of Cinnabar Island's {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.<br />
* {{p|Xatu}}'s FireRed, Silver, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries mention its association with mysticism in South America.<br />
* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Pokédex entries mention its ability to swim the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}. Also, it is to be noted that the direction of its spirals depends on their geographical location. <br />

* [[Silph Co.]] has a branch in {{wp|Tiksi}}, {{wp|Russia}}.<br />
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Team Rocket are disguised as {{wp|vikings}}. In the English dub, [[Brock]] says that he didn't know that vikings still existed and {{Ash}} replies that they "mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}." This is clearly a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} football team.<br />
:*Though in the Swedish dub of the movie, Ash replies to Brock that they come from {{wp|Norway}}. Most likely referring to the Scandinavian Vikings that lived in the 8-11th century.<br />
:* In the Danish dub of the movie, Ash tells Brock that the vikings are mostly on trips in {{wp|Sweden}}, again refering to the Scandinavian Vikings.<br />
* {{p|Ponyta}}'s Pokédex entries mentions that it can clear {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}} and jump over the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} in one leap. {{wp|Tokyo Tower}} is referred in the original Japanese version. <br />

* In ''[[EP009|School of Hard Knocks]]'', {{an|Misty}} mentions wanting to go to {{wp|Paris}}.<br />
* In ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'', {{an|Misty}} described the town like being in 'Merry Old England,' in which it could possibly be based on Tudor Time {{wp|Stratford-Upon-Avon}}. It is also the same historic town where the story's inspirational author, {{wp|William Shakespeare}} was born.<br />
* In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Jessie]] talks about {{wp|Antarctica}}, the place where their next assignment is located. It should be noted that this was dub-added.<br />
* In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', Meowth asks if they saw Vicious in a {{wp|Lucha libre|Mexican wrestling}} movie.<br />
* In the English version of ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', Melvin says he wanted to make it to {{wp|Las Vegas}}. It should be noted that he said that he wanted to make it to {{wp|Broadway}} in the Japanese version.<br />
* In [[M01|the first movie]], Meowth mentioned that they lived on the same Earth (although he may have been referring to the soil rather than the literal planet Earth).<br />
* In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', James says that the Fuchsia Gym looks like a Japanese restaurant.<br />
* In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', Misty makes a direct reference to the Earth stating that, "The Earth is so pretty."<br />
* In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', Meowth says "Keep digging till you hit China!" to Jessie and James who were digging for clam shells.<br />
<br />
==Real world people and cultures mentioned==<br />
* In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Brock directly refers to the tale of {{wp|Noah}} who sent a {{wp|Columbidae|dove}} to find dry land after a {{wp|Flood myth|great flood}}, according to some religions.<br />
* In ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'', Jessie says that {{wp|Albert Einstein}} created the {{wp|Incandescent light bulb|light bulb}}. Max corrects her, saying that {{wp|Thomas Edison}} was the creator.<br />
* A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} mentions the hula dance to a [[Kimono Girl]] while in the Ecruteak dance theater.<br />
* The main series games have featured staff members of [[Game Freak]] that typically [[Diploma|reward]] the player for completing the [[National Pokédex]], or occasionally through alternative methods. [[Shigeki Morimoto|One in particular]] can actually be battled in-game.<br />
<br />
==Other applications of real-world locations==<br />
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]<br />
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.<br />
* In {{p|Raichu}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entry, {{wp|Indian Elephant}}s are mentioned. Incidentally, {{p|Gastly}}'s FireRed entry mentions the same thing.<br />
* At the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Mewtwo is shown overlooking a "far away city" that greatly resembles {{wp|New York City}}. Buildings similar to the {{wp|Chrysler Building}} and the {{wp|MetLife Building}} are visible in the distance.<br />
* In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}} uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Normally, a cloudy globe can be seen, but this time the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} and {{wp|Australia}} are prominent. This also happens in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'' and the introduction to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. This phenomenon may be common in the original series<br />
* In all of the [[version|main series]] games, and some side series games, there is a [[Nintendo]] gaming console in the {{player}}'s bedroom. This is a reference to the real world gaming company that owns the franchise.<br />
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game. <br />
* [[Game Freak]]'s offices are present in the [[Celadon Condominiums]], a possible reference to their real-world office of {{wp|Carrot Tower}}.<br />
* Both {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Beartic}}'s names are derived from the real world location, The {{wp|Arctic}}.<br />
* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} and the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} were seen on a movie poster.<br />
* In the movie ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Kidd's boss's office is in a city that resembles {{wp|New York City}}.<br />
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', a painting within the resort created by {{p|Beheeyem}} bears a striking resemblance to ''{{wp|Relativity (M. C. Escher)|Relativity}}'' by {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.<br />
* In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} is seen during {{an|Misty}}'s fantasy.<br />

'''Unity Tower''' (Japanese: '''ユナイテッドタワー''' ''{{tt|United Tower|romanized in the game's code as United Nations}}'') is on an island in the southwest of the [[Unova]] region. It is only accessible from the Unity Pier in Castelia City after registering a location in Geonet, and making an international [[trade]] with another user who has done the same. There is only one building on the island, which is Unity Tower. Leaving the island via boat takes the {{player}} back to [[Castelia City]]. From the boat dock, there is a pathway that leads to the entrance with differently designed flags that line both sides of the path. A metal detector is placed at the entrance, so that it must be passed through to enter the tower.<br />
<br />
Unity Tower has 130 floors each representing a country (being the amount of countries recognized by Geonet) and a ground floor. These floors are sorted alphabetically (in the language of the game). Access to each floor is granted upon interacting with players registered to each location. Players that have been interacted with appear as NPCs on their country's respective floor. They talk about their interests, and often mention the interaction that the player had with them. The responses from the other Trainers depend on their [[nature]]. At most, the tower can contain 20 Trainers, with a per-floor maximum of 5. If these numbers are surpassed, old Trainers will leave the tower.<br />
<br />
This location was not legitimately accessible in the Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}} until the game was released internationally, due to its nature and the inability of the player of a Japanese-language game to register a location outside of Japan on {{DL|Global Terminal|Geonet}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Unity Tower might be based on the {{wp|United Nations}}, as it is the meeting place for the leaders of the world, and is based in New York. It's further referenced for the flags outside the tower, as the UN has the flags of the countries that are part of the UN.<br />

<div>As with most gaming software, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, in their final release, contain several "dummied out" features that were programmed into the games but for one reason or another had their activating events taken from the final versions.<br />
<br />
In addition, the English translations of these games, {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, had several of their own altered aspects during the two years between the Japanese release of {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|the Japanese Blue}} and the English translations.<br />
<br />
==Prototype names==<br />
During the promotional period that preceded the English release of both the {{pkmn|anime}} and games, some Pokémon were shown with different names than they had in the games at release. These names varied from being slightly off from their current names, to being closer to their Japanese names, to being totally different from any current Pokémon name.<br />

==Battling against Professor Oak==<br />
At the beginning of the game, [[Professor Oak]] introduces the player to the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]]. However, he also has a full team of Pokémon programmed into the game, consisting of a {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, and one of the final forms of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] (the one that was not taken by the {{player}} and {{ga|Blue}}).<br />
<br />
Oak's Pokémon are of an even higher level than those of {{ga|Blue}} as [[Champion]], perhaps implying that he was at one point intended to be faced after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]].<br />
<br />
This battle can be activated through the [[Mew Glitch]] with a special stat of 226 or by use of a [[GameShark]] code, and remains in place in {{game|Yellow}}.<br />
<br />
=="The Misty" would like to fight==<br />
Before the U.S. release of Red and Blue, screenshots were released of a {{ga|Blue|rival}} battle with the text "The BLUE wants to fight!". While this text would work with a typical Trainer, such as "The [[Lass]]" or "The [[Hiker]]", as they were not given personal names until [[Generation II]], it would cause problems with [[Gym Leader]], [[Elite Four]], rival, and game link battles, leaving them to end up as "The [[Misty]]" or "The [[Lance]]" (as these Trainers did not at the time have titles, only their names). Perhaps because of the latter example, which implies the player is fighting against {{wp|lance|a pole-like weapon}}, the "the" was dropped in the final version of the game, leading to the somewhat odd sentence style used until [[Generation IV]] of "Trainer wants to fight!"<br />
<br />
A screenshot in the instruction manual of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} still contains the text "The [[Brock|BROCK]] wants to fight!".<br />
<br />
==Unused Trainer classes==<br />
An unused [[List of Trainer classes|Trainer class]] known as "[[Chief]]" was omitted from the final game, though like Oak, a battle with an NPC with this data can be accessed through cheating.<br />
<br />
The Trainer class is mentioned in-game by one of the [[Team Rocket grunts]] in [[Celadon City]], and shares its battle sprite with the [[Scientist]] Trainer class.<br />
<br />
==Female player character==<br />
[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|right|Artwork featuring an assumed female player character, with a {{p|Squirtle}}]]<br />
There were originally plans for a female character to be playable in Red and Green, as older sketches suggest. {{adv|Green}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] seems to be based on her. The {{ga|Leaf|character}} was redesigned and included in the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]] of the game, to continue the standard of including a female protagonist option.<br />
<br />
==Bird-type==<br />
The {{type2|Bird}} may have been a prototype version of {{type2|Flying}}. This can be seen in the final version of the game: [[Missingno.]], the infamous glitch, is part Bird-type. The Bird-type is present in the [[Generation II]] games' programming; this is unsurprising, since the game engine for Gold and Silver is based on that of the [[Generation I]] games.<br />
<br />
==Badges==<br />
Unused items with the names of all the [[badges]] exist in the game's coding. This could mean that the badges were originally going to be items that were carried in the player's [[bag]]. The Boulder Badge and Cascade Badge are the only ones that do something when used in battle - they allow the player to throw bait and rocks, respectively, as in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] battles. When used outside of battle, they have another strange effect - after the throwing animation, the music changes to a loop of Professor Oak's 'good [[Pokédex]]' jingle.<br />
<br />
==Surfboard==<br />
There is an item in the game that enables the user to {{m|Surf}} without using a Pokémon. This may mean that the move Surf was not implemented as an attack originally, or that the HMs did not initially exist. However, the Surfboard may instead have been a prototype object for testers to advance quickly through the game and access Cinnabar Island without breaking the game's own programming. In Yellow, the name of the item is a Canoe.<br />
<br />
==Battling with no Pokémon==<br />
In Pokémon Yellow, data exists for a battle situation when the {{pkmn|Trainer}} has no Pokémon. In this case, selecting any option other than "Run" shows the message "Hurry, get away!". This may have been a prototype for the initial battle with the wild {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} at the start of the game (as the player has no Pokémon at that point) or as a further reference to the anime against a wild {{p|Spearow}} with Pikachu unable to battle.<br />
<br />
==Concept art==<br />
[[Image:Pokemon conceptart big.jpg|thumb|right|The early concept art by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
In June 2006, early concept art of Red and Green by [[Ken Sugimori]] was uploaded on Pokémon France's official website. The concept art depicts rough versions of various concepts that made it into the final game. They seem to include various {{pkmn|battle}}s, the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], {{ga|Red}} riding on a {{p|Lapras}}, a {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Celadon City]], [[Silph Co.]], and a town with a fountain which could have been reworked into [[Celadon City]]. Some other Pokémon are identifiable in a raw or semi-normal form, such as {{p|Gastly}} and others are prototypical of an entire class of Pokémon, such as a basic {{type2|Dragon}}.<br />
<br />
==No Mew present==<br />
<br />
According to an interview by [[Satoru Iwata]] with [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] and [[Shigeki Morimoto]], localized as "Iwata Asks", they admitted that after the debug features were removed, they added {{p|Mew}} in the empty space. Nintendo thought that this would have been risky because altering the game code after completing testing, meant that any new bugs created by adding data with no debugging features would have been much harder to be fixed. Standard programming practices usually recommend against altering the code and not testing it, just before releasing the game to the customer.

<hr />
<div>{{search|key item whose Japanese name is the GB Player|the Nintendo GameCube accessory|Game Boy Player}}<br />
[[File:Bag GB Sounds Sprite.png|right|frame]]<br />
The '''GB Sounds''' (Japanese: '''GBプレイヤー''' ''GB Player'') is a key item obtainable in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. After {{player}}s have defeated all 16 gyms in the game, they can receive it from one of the [[Game Freak]] employees in [[Celadon Mansion]]. It allows a player to change the game's background music to redone 8-bit tracks from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Several tracks that weren't in the original Gold and Silver also received 8-bit remixes. Examples include the themes of the [[Global Terminal]] and [[Route]]s {{rtn|47}} and {{rtn|48}}.<br />
* None of the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier]] facilities, except for the outside area and the {{jo|Battle Tower}}, have an 8-bit remix of their background music.<br />
* The item only changes background themes and battle music, not other audio effects.<br />
* Some of the original game's tracks, such as [[Team Rocket]]'s themes (unless the player hasn't fought [[Giovanni]] yet), the music played when the player meets [[Professor Oak]], and the opening and closing music, cannot be accessed using the GB Sounds, because they only play before the player has the chance to operate it. To accommodate these, the [[Pokémon Music Channel]] hosts a "Pokémon Past Archive" program each Sunday, featuring such otherwise unheard pieces in addition to a few other themes.<br />
* Despite that the GB Sounds is supposed to sound like the original music from the GB/GBC, none of the songs sound exactly like the originals. The acoustics sound different, many notes have different pitches, and other notes in various songs are not even heard at all. This may be due to the different hardware of the DS.<br />
* The image for the GB Sounds is a Game Boy Pocket, with a pair of headphones.<br />
