About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Derpizard is a pure comedy and parody ROM hack designed entirely around one infamous sprite: the Japanese Pokémon Green Charizard, affectionately named Derpizard.
This hack is not meant to be serious, balanced, or story-driven. Instead, it replaces nearly every Pokémon-related asset in the game with Derpizard, creating an intentionally absurd and laugh-focused experience. The goal is simple: play, laugh, and embrace the stupidity.
Story Overview
There is no unique storyline in Pokémon Derpizard.
The game follows the original Pokémon Ruby storyline, but every reference to Pokémon, characters, sprites, and encounters has been replaced with Derpizard. Trainers use Derpizard, wild encounters are Derpizard, and even overworld sprites feature Derpizard’s unmistakably goofy face.
The result is a surreal parody where the narrative itself becomes irrelevant compared to the visual and textual chaos.
