About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Camp Baker is a unique, story-driven FireRed hack set in a summer camp environment. Unlike traditional Pokémon games, gyms are replaced by Area Directors, who are optional battles, emphasizing exploration and story rather than linear progression. The game introduces a new region, seasonal changes, day/night cycles, and custom overworlds to capture the feel of a summer camp adventure.
Story Overview
You play as a young boy whose dream is to attend Camp Baker, a legendary camp said to make dreams come true. However, your mother enrolls you in the new Pokémon Trainer School in Rosewood. Determined, you sneak out with your best friend to Camp Baker, where you encounter new and familiar faces, face the great area directors, and uncover the camp’s secrets. The story focuses on personal growth, friendship, and fun challenges rather than traditional Gym battles.
