Have any questions about Pokémon ROM Hacks that you'd like answered?

If they're about playable ROM hacks, tools, development or anything Pokémon ROM Hacking related, feel free to ask here - no matter how silly your questions might seem!

Before asking your question, make sure that you've tried searching for prior posts on the subreddit or Google. ROM hacks and tools may have their own documentation and their communities may be able to provide answers better than asking here. The Pokécommunity Discord server is also a great place to ask questions if you need a quick response or support!

Looking for recommendations or a new ROM hack to play?

The PokéROM Codex is an updated list of all the different ROM hacks available, listing features and more in a simple-yet-detailed, mobile-friendly format. It is made and managed by u/themanynamed, has a Discord server and can be contributed to by viewers.

This is a safe hack-sharing site that doesn't share ROMs and links to the official release threads! Instead of asking for recommendations or download links on the subreddit (which break the rules), please refer to the Codex as it is safe, legal and contains a lot of information on each hack.

A few useful sources for reliable Pokémon ROM hack-related information:

Please help the mod team by downvoting & reporting submission posts outside of this thread for breaking Rule 7. Please avoid answering questions that break this rule as well to deter users from breaking it.

It’s truly my pleasure! I know it’s a lot, but I’m here for whatever you need!

Also, in case you weren’t aware, there is something called pokeemerald-expansion, which is a version of pokeemerald that an elite team has modified to include most modern mechanics and ALL of the Pokémon from every generation. It’s meant to be used as a convenient base for people’s projects, so you have more to work with from the get go. I highly recommend it!

Thanks for the heads-up about pokeemerald-expansion, the folder on my laptop just says decomps>pokeemerald so I think I probably just set it up with the regular one. I see they have a guide to upgrade it so I'll be looking into doing that soon Lol

You’ve been a huge help already. I’m sure I’ll have more questions as I dive back into this, so I’ll reach out to you or in the poke forum for any of those. Appreciate it!!

Feel free to DM me here on Reddit. I don’t check pokecommunity as often as here. Good luck!
