About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Imperial is a Spanish ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed (Beta 1) that introduces a deeply narrative-driven experience centered around a completely new region called Summerty (also associated with the Candelia region in its lore descriptions).
The hack focuses heavily on storytelling, worldbuilding, and exploration, combining classic Pokémon gameplay with a more structured and cinematic narrative approach. At the core of the experience is a conflict involving a powerful artifact known as the Eye of the Tiger, which plays a central role in the fate of the region.
Unlike traditional FireRed mods, Pokémon Imperial places strong emphasis on lore, political conflict, and environmental storytelling, making it feel closer to an adventure RPG than a standard Pokémon journey.
Story Overview
The story of Pokémon Imperial takes place in the Summerty region, a land discovered and later shaped into a kingdom known as the Lancaster dynasty.
According to in-game lore, the region was originally discovered by explorers who found it as a vast natural paradise. The first king, Summer I, named the land and established a dynasty. However, over time, the region suffered a devastating civil war caused by internal conflict within the Lancaster family.
Years later, the ruler King Snow Lancaster begins a campaign of destruction across the recovering region under the pretext of searching for the Eye of the Tiger, an ancient artifact said to have the power to either regenerate or destroy the entire land.
At the same time, a rebel organization known as Mockingjay rises to oppose his rule and restore balance to the region.
The protagonist, Greener, a young trainer from Villa Topacio, begins his journey after the disappearance of his best friend. His search leads him to an ancestral diary that reveals the existence and importance of the Eye of the Tiger. From this moment, Greener becomes entangled in the conflict between the Lancaster dynasty, the rebels, and the fate of the Summerty region itself.

Detailed Story:
After a long journey, I managed to see it, the prize, the greatest possible reward for the travelers of the ship, it looked small, like a tiny piece of green in the immense distance of the ocean. I was the first to see it. I was riding my Pidgeotto, above the clouds when, I turned around and, as in a dream, I saw it, a beautiful green brushstroke in the middle of the monotonous blue canvas that is the sea. I screamed like a madman, I was overflowing with happiness and wanting to transmit the message to everyone. ~ EARTH, EARTH !! ~ The scream excited all the travelers, an immense clamor ran through the ship.When we disembark, we find an immense natural paradise.
As I was the first to venture onto the island, I was given the honor of naming the region and becoming its king. Thus was born the Lancaster dynasty of the Summerty region
"Excerpt from the biography of King Summer I"
The first cities of Summerty were in their maximum splendor, great metropolises that coexist in perfect harmony with nature. But most of Summerty remains unexplored, which is why I, Robert Greener, set out to explore the region and discover what lies beneath the mighty Zona Blanca mountain.
"Interview with Explorer Robert Greener"
I got it, last Thursday I managed to enter the White Zone, the largest natural monument in the region.
It was incredible, I found a passage that led to an immense room. In it, they could fit about 50 separate catdeals, there were 4 waterfalls that fell from four points of the room, each waterfall was of one color, and all of them joined in the center of the room where a beautiful glass altar stood, around the altar a forest had been born that must have any type of imaginable vegetable.
In the center of the altar was a ball the size of a fist. That ball was a golden color with rainbow hues. Three black stripes crossed the ball to a green point where all the stripes converged, giving it a tabby look. Ecstatic by the beauty of the ball, I decided to take it with me, but as soon as I picked it up, I heard a strange noise, a kind of roar that foreshadowed death and desolation. The waterfalls stopped; the grass began to rot at the speed of light and the mountain began to collapse on my head. Terrified, I put the ball in place, and immediately the grass began to bloom again, but the mountain continued to collapse.I ran out of the mountain just as a landslide blocked the entrance as I realized that the island's center of power was buried under the White Zone.
"Excerpt from the biography of the explorer Robert Greener"
It has been 16 years since the Summerty region emerged from the horrible civil war that the king's brother provoked to steal his throne. That war stole all the splendor the region boasted, making the false promises Snow Lancaster made after stealing the throne easily believed.
Now, 16 years later, just as the region begins to recover from the serious consequences of the war, Snow's troops begin to destroy everything under the pretext of searching for a strange object found by an ancient explorer that is said to give the power to destroy or regenerate the region, the Eye of the Tiger.
Tired of the Lancastrian tyranny, a mysterious organization called Mockingjay rebels against Snow and does everything possible to overthrow him.
[Player] Greener is a young man from Villa Topacio who, when his best friend disappears, decides to go looking for her in the region; but, in one of his trips, he finds the diary of one of his ancestors that shows him how to find the Eye of the Tiger and save the region.
