About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Purple Version is a Portuguese-language ROM hack based on Pokémon Ruby that significantly expands the original experience into a much larger, story-driven adventure. The hack introduces a completely new narrative involving crime, revenge, and intercontinental exploration, setting it apart from traditional Pokémon ROM hacks.
One of its strongest elements is the creation of two fully connected continents—Purple and Purpeia—which form a dual-region world. Unlike most hacks, progression is not limited to a single map; instead, players can travel between continents using multiple methods such as flying and climbing, creating a more dynamic world structure.
The game also features a modernized Pokémon roster, including later-generation Pokémon, Mega Evolutions, and new moves, making team-building more diverse and strategic. Combined with a large number of gyms, tournaments, and additional battle facilities, this hack is designed to feel like a full-scale Pokémon expansion rather than a simple modification.
Story Overview
The story begins in a world shaped by tragedy and crime. The protagonist’s father was a detective working in the Greater City of Piredo, where he fought against the dangerous criminal organization known as TEAM GARLANDER. During a violent confrontation, he is killed by one of its key members, Lepes, and the police station is destroyed in the aftermath.
Fearing for safety, the protagonist moves to the peaceful Sky City, where they meet Professor Joel, a respected researcher who also has a child of the same age. After assisting him, the professor offers a choice between three Pokémon: Magby, Elekid, and Smoochum, marking the beginning of the journey.
From there, the adventure spans across two massive continents: Purple and Purpeia. The first challenge takes place in the Purple continent, where the protagonist must defeat the Elite Four. After this milestone, a new journey begins across Purpeia, accessed through a boat in the Cortantes Islands.
Throughout the story, the protagonist faces powerful trainers, uncovering deeper connections between both continents while battling the remnants of TEAM GARLANDER and competing in major leagues, tournaments, and gym challenges.
