About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Times is a FireRed-based ROM hack set in the completely original Anduria region, designed to deliver a more emotional and narrative-focused Pokémon experience.
The hack blends classic Pokémon gameplay with modern features, including updated battle systems and improved visuals inspired by Nintendo DS titles. One of its standout aspects is the inclusion of Fakemon alongside official Pokémon from Generations 1–4, giving the region its own identity while still feeling familiar.
What sets this project apart is its focus on storytelling and character development, aiming to provide a deeper emotional connection through the protagonist and supporting cast. Combined with custom music, varied environments, and event-driven progression, the game offers a richer, more immersive take on the traditional Pokémon formula.
Story Overview
Long ago, Arceus, the Pokémon Alpha, created the world and legendary Pokémon to maintain balance. After resting in the Hall of Origin atop Monte Corona, strange events unfold in the Anduria region, located in the heart of South America.
Players take on the role of 15-year-old Nebb, whose father died in previous wars. When Anduria faces external threats from surrounding nations, Nebb and his loyal Growlithe enlist to protect the region. Throughout his journey, Nebb aims to become the champion of the Anduria League, starting in Juno Town where Professor Livar provides his first Pokémon. Along the way, players encounter Team Rocket, undertake special events to obtain Pokémon like Spheal, and explore the diverse terrain of Anduria, from tropical forests to snow-capped mountains.
