Pokémon Fire Red: Infinity Horizon (Complete)

Hey everyone, how's it going?

I'm very excited to officially announce the release of my Pokémon Fire Red ROM hack:

It took months of dedication to create a unique, balanced, and surprising experience for all fans.

If you're a fan of Pokémon Fire Red but feel frustrated with the limitations of the original game and have always wished it had more depth, realism, immersion, and challenge, this game is for you...

About the Project

Hello everyone, I'm Overlord Kaktus/Gold/Ruki Studios. Probably you remember me for other projects like Pokémon Ragnarök (Or maybe not hahaha). I'm a Spanish-speaker romhacker and a former GBC romhacker (from 2010 to May 2014). This time I'll show to you guys an old project that I decided to restart, and I really hope this project would be finished.

This is a hack built off of hg-engine, which is a community project that has loads of features ready to be injected into a HeartGold rom.

Need help: Primordial rom hacks and their seeming nonexistence

Hey yall, so we've been trying (TRYING) to research the oldest rom hacks available on these forums, with a date range of about 2003-2006, for a video we're working on. A lot of the oldest hacks on this site (especially the ones that were never properly finished, but still made in some capacity) are in the "Progressing Rom Hacks" subcategory in the Rom Hacks Showcase category, or the old Finished Hack and Demo Archive. Obviously, almost all of those hacks are completely unavailable, and most...

Character deaths: yes or no?

invalid@example.com (Orion☆) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 02:53:51 +0000

Content warning for mentions of death. This is a contentious and sensitive topic, so if you don't feel ready to discuss it, feel free to go back.

One thing that the main games have not done yet is killing off a major character, either onscreen or offscreen. Generally, whenever death is brought up, it's that of a minor, usually nameless character (e.g. Alder's starter Pokémon, the man in the house in Anistar City, the Faller that died while in a mission with Looker and Nanu, Emma's parents...

If a Hard mode existed in each game from the start, would you use it?

invalid@example.com (Sheep) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 02:50:09 +0000

Going forward, pretend that all main series Pokémon games have a hard mode. Selecting this mode will make the games more difficult in various ways - higher level opponents, more Pokémon on the opposing team, less exp gained, and more (think of how Hard modes are traditionally designed in other RPGs and apply that to Pokémon).

Would you be interested in selecting a Hard mode from the beginning if it were officially included in the games going forward? Or are you comfortable with the...

invalid@example.com (FranklyNathan) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 02:06:54 +0000

Emerald Blitz is a decomp hack of Pokémon Emerald streamlined for competitive, fast-paced draft racing. Despite playing through the entire Hoenn region with a team of nine Pokemon, from first gym to Elite Four Champion, a single playthrough takes just two hours to complete. Emerald Blitz is customized with new features and quality-of-life improvements geared toward making the game as fast as possible; it's all of the good with none of the tedium.

Made using Pokemon Essentials v.21.1
I highly advise anyone playing on an older version to download the 2.01/2.02 update. This fixes some major issues found in previous versions and is the most stable release.
STORY:

The project makes obtaining all 251 Pokemon and Mystery Gift decorations and items possible without changing mechanics, story, difficulty, sprites, dialogue, music, or anything else.

Introduction
Hello, this is my first ROMHack and its purpose is to offer a better experience of the original Platinum game, without radically altering the story progression or increasing difficulty.
My initial inspiration was while playing a mono bug type run in Platinum, thinking it would be really helpful to have Honey Trees work without the 6 hours waiting time.

Eventually as I learnt more about ROMhacking, I added more features that (in my opinion) improve the...

IMPORTANT: I have had a number of people ask about later Gen Pokemon.. Let me explain. Yes they are available in the game itself as data - however in the current progress of the DEMO, they are not found in the wild YET - this is due to the game's lore + story being FAITHFUL to canon, meaning Gen 1 in Kanto. HOWEVER, there are Gen 1 regional forms available to BATTLE...

Pokémon name game: More or Less

invalid@example.com (RadEmpoleon) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 21:27:29 +0000

Each post will give a Pokémon's name with either more (+) or less (-) characters than the one above. If the post above used (+), then you would use (-) for the next poster and vice versa. Spaces, hyphens, etc. in the name counts as a character (e.g. "Scream Tail" = 11 characters, "Chi-Yu" = 6 characters).

This project is a successor to the discontinued Gen 8 Move Animation Project led by St. Cooler, which itself was an extension of Pokemon Reborn's animations (full credits at the bottom).
However, this isn't just the Gen 8 project with Gen 9 moves added! The Gen 8 project had very little organization for how it ordered the move list, and since it was made for v18.1, some of the animations were broken when imported to more modern versions. Both of these have been fixed, with all moves...

Pokemon WoofGold and MasterSilver (Complete)

invalid@example.com (woofmasterarf) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 20:17:53 +0000

A Vanilla Plus romhack meant to improve upon the game of my childhood in a variety of subtle ways. This is the most nostalgic game for me, and I wanted a version that lived up to my rose-tinted classes. Initially being inspired by the Crystal Legacy videos by SmithPlaysPokemon, I sought to do the same kind of thing here. There are some ideas taken from that, but as this hack progressed it diverged quite significantly.

Overall, if you love HeartGold and SoulSilver as much as I do and want a...

[SMW Hacking] Building a Point‑and‑Click Engine on the SNES Using Sequential Blocks

invalid@example.com (SUPER-J11BIT) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 17:36:59 +0000

I've been experimenting with a sequential "password block" system in Super Mario World using custom ASM blocks.
Each block increases a RAM counter only if it's touched in the correct order, and a final door checks the value and automatically triggers the end‑level sequence.

What's interesting is that this system isn't just useful for puzzles or passwords.
It can actually serve as the foundation for a full point‑and‑click adventure engine on the SNES.
