These “fan-made Pokémon games” offer fresh regions, intense battles, and bold new stories that bring an exciting twist to the classic gameplay.

🚫Playing These Fan Games Isn't Easy
Fan-made ROMs like Radical Red or Unbound aren’t official products, so you’ll need:
- A compatible emulator for PC, Android, or iOS
- The base ROM required for each fan game (e.g., FireRed)
- Patches to apply the modified game correctly
- A clean, bug-free version — which is surprisingly hard to find
- Time to configure your emulator (especially on iPhone!)
Most guides are outdated, and many ROM sites are filled with malware or broken files. You might end up with a non-working game — or worse, a virus.
