About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Arceus Legend is a story-driven ROM hack inspired by the creation mythology of the Pokémon world, focusing on Arceus and the Sinnoh Legendary trio. Unlike traditional Pokémon journeys centered around Gyms and the League, this hack emphasizes exploration, lore, and narrative events.
Built on Pokémon FireRed, the game reimagines Sinnoh in a unique way while retaining classic GBA-style gameplay.
Story Overview
According to legend, an egg existed in total nothingness. When it hatched, Arceus was born—the Alpha Pokémon. With the help of Dialga and Palkia, Arceus created time, space, emotions, and life itself, shaping a world where Pokémon and humans coexist.
Many believe this legend is only a myth… until the protagonist begins to dream of Arceus. Through repeated visions, Arceus warns of individuals with dark intentions who threaten the balance of the world. Unsure whether these visions are real, the protagonist eventually accepts Arceus’s call and sets out on a journey to uncover the truth and protect the Pokémon world.
