About This ROM Hack
Pokémon: The Corrupted Wishes is an original ROM hack set in a parallel universe from the mainline Pokémon games. It emphasizes a darker, more challenging journey with unique mechanics and limitations, including a strict three-Pokémon party rule. The hack includes Pokémon from Generations 1–7 with a custom Pokédex, clean DS-style sprites, and updated battle mechanics, combining both nostalgic and modern elements of Pokémon gameplay.
Story Overview
You play as a boy named Noire (or a name of your choice) who has grown up with a Froakie. The Purla Pokémon League is now open, and your childhood friend Julia shares the same dream of becoming Champion. Your journey begins by receiving your Pokédex from Professor Kao.
The story explores the legend of Jirachi, a wish-granting Pokémon. A corrupted wish, made by a man with broken desires, has altered reality and brought unforeseen consequences into the world. Your mission is not only to collect Gym Badges but to navigate this corrupted Pokémon universe and uncover the deeper mysteries surrounding Jirachi’s wish.
