About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Ruby Merodia is an English Pokémon Ruby ROM hack that replaces the original Pokémon roster with a completely different cast of Fakemon. Rather than rewriting Hoenn's story, the project focuses on giving players a familiar adventure populated by original fan-made creatures.
According to the available information, the storyline remains identical to the original Pokémon Ruby, making the new Pokémon the main attraction. Even the opening sequence has been adjusted to fit the new roster, with the Pokémon attacking Professor Birch replaced to match the hack's custom world. As a Beta 1 release, the project offers an early look at its Fakemon-focused gameplay while retaining the classic Ruby progression.
