About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Outlaw Version is a story-driven, dialogue-heavy FireRed ROM hack that takes a radically different approach to the traditional Pokémon formula. Instead of following a young Trainer beginning a cheerful journey, this game tells the story of a 15-year-old orphan surviving in the slums of Kanto, slowly rising through a corrupt and morally gray Pokémon world.While the game is built on the familiar FireRed version of Kanto, the tone, characters, and themes are entirely different. NPCs are more crude, violent, strange, and sarcastic, creating a world that feels harsher and more grounded than the official games.
⚠️ Content Warning:
This hack contains dark humor, mature jokes, and offensive dialogue. While no explicit language is used, some content may not be suitable for younger or easily offended players.
