About This ROM Hack

Pokémon Ruby Destiny: Rescue Rangers is a unique spin-off of the Ruby Destiny series where players take on the role of a Pikachu in a world inhabited by Pokémon. Unlike traditional Pokémon hacks, this game emphasizes rescuing Pokémon, exploration, and adventure, rather than battling and catching Pokémon.

Players partner with Torchic and Chikorita, forming a rescue team to help Pokémon in need, and navigate through a newly designed forest and overworlds. The game also features healing mechanics using Berries and healing plants, and focuses on scripted events and story-driven gameplay.

 


Story Overview

On your 12th birthday, you invite four friends over to celebrate, all of whom love Pokémon. Suddenly, a strange aura knocks you unconscious.

When you wake up, you find yourself deep in an unfamiliar forest, surrounded by Pokémon. Torchic and Chikorita reveal that you have become a Pikachu. Shocked and confused, they invite you to join their Rescue Team, dedicated to helping Pokémon in need.

With nowhere else to go, you accept, and your journey begins as a new Pokémon in a world where rescue and teamwork are key.
