About This ROM Hack

Pokémon Nameless Version is a large-scale story-driven ROM hack developed as both a prequel to Pokémon Mega Power and a direct sequel to Pokémon Resolute. While it connects directly to those titles, it also stands strongly on its own with a deep narrative, multiple regions, modern mechanics, and a semi–open world design.

Players take the role of Chronya, a young hero whose journey is shaped by political conflict, betrayal, and fate. The hack focuses heavily on player freedom, allowing you to decide when to advance the main storyline, when to explore, and when to challenge major events.

With Pokémon ranging from Generation 4 to Generation 9, real Mega Evolution mechanics, no traditional Gyms or League structure, and an in-game guide system, Pokémon Nameless Version is designed to feel closer to a modern Pokémon RPG while still running on the GBA engine.

 


Story Overview

Twelve years ago, Altena, the general of the Valo Empire, was forced to flee her homeland with her daughter Chronya. The reasons were never explained to Chronya — only that her father lived in the distant Cyenn Region, and that seeking his help was their only hope.

Before they could reach safety, they were attacked by the Dark Workers, agents of the Valo Emperor who sought to erase Altena forever. Altena fell into their trap, and with no other choice, Chronya leapt into the ocean to escape.

She was saved by a young agent named Gavin, who entrusted Chronya with his Pokémon to protect her. From that moment on, Chronya’s journey began — a journey that would span multiple regions, uncover ancient powers, and determine the fate of nations.
