About This ROM Hack
Pokemon NavyBlue is a Fakemon-heavy FireRed ROM hack set in the original region of Larmog, a fully custom world split by sea and shaped by ancient mythology.
The main focus here is not polishing FireRed into something modern, but instead expanding it into a new fan-made universe filled with original Pokémon designs and experimental ideas.
The game introduces 175 Fakemon, many with unique inspirations, alongside version-exclusive encounters and slightly different content depending on whether you play NavyBlue or its counterpart, TurquoiseBlue.
Visually, the hack goes for a simplified, almost “painted tile” style, which intentionally matches its custom Pokémon designs rather than trying to replicate official Game Freak polish.
Story Overview
The story takes place in the Larmog Region, a distant land split into two major areas by the Larmogian Sea. Rich in legends, oceans, forests, mountains, deserts, and massive cities, Larmog has a deep and tragic past.
Three thousand years ago, the 35th and final King of Larmog attempted to strengthen his kingdom by awakening a powerful Legendary Pokémon. Though the two initially bonded, the king sought to exploit the Pokémon’s power for selfish gain. This triggered the appearance of a second Legendary Pokémon, leading to a catastrophic battle that destroyed the castle—and much of the region itself.
After rebuilding, people began to fear Pokémon and eventually started using them for battle instead of servitude. Unknown to most, the king survived and has lived for centuries, seeking to reunite with the Legendary Pokémon and rewrite history, preventing the fall of his kingdom—even if it means ending Pokémon battles forever.
In the present day, you are a 12-year-old trainer living with your professor father, your mother, and your twin rival. As you explore Larmog, you’ll encounter ancient legends, rivalries, and the immortal king himself. Your choices will determine whether Larmog’s past is repeated—or finally laid to rest.
