About This ROM Hack

Pokémon Ciano's Quest is a ROM hack based on Pokémon FireRed, set one year after the events of Pokémon Scarso Edition. The game follows the story of Dirg, Daig, and the protagonist (the "Player") as they return to Cyanentopolis during summer break. They receive a special package from Malna, which contains a copy of Pokémon Scarso Edition. As the characters enter the game, they become trapped in it, leading to a new adventure that is filled with mystery and unexpected twists.

The game features new mechanics, including Mega Evolutions for Pokémon that don’t traditionally have them, and a new map with different regional features. There are three starting teams instead of the usual three starters, with each team containing a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving.
