Fly with your Pokémon!

Preview time! When you fly in the upcoming Pokémon Brown update, the sprite is actually your Pokémon.

We’re still in advanced testing: old-school binary hacks require a lot more testing and rebuilds than modern disassembly hacks, and we are all about polish. Thank you all for your patience! We’ll let you know when it’s ready as soon as we can.

Pokémon Brown testing is going quite swell…

Pokémon Brown advanced testing is well underway! This game is 20 years old and is still an old-school binary hack, so there are a lot of weird quirks we are discovering (like this funny sprite glitch!). We don’t have an ETA as yet, but it is soon™!

Happy 20th Birthday Pokémon Brown!

A few days ago, Pokémon Brown turned 20 years old.

To celebrate, here is, for the first time, some video from the upcoming update!

Here you’ll see all-new features, such as an EXP bar, gender indicators, refreshed battle UI, new sprites and even more.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Pokémon Brown turns 20

Today, 20 years ago, I was in high school and released the very first version of Pokémon Brown. The first version was a mess in retrospect, built with a small map editor, “Tile Layer Pro” and a hex editor. but it broke grounds being the first finished “New Region” hack.

I could’ve never envisioned what ROM Hacking would’ve grown to 20 years later, the idea of modding games has grown so much, resulting in incredible passion projects. My contributions and the combined efforts of various talent since helped ROM hacks excel.

I encourage everyone to keep pushing forward, prove that your ideas are possible and continue to inspire the next generation, because the best is yet to come from ROM Hacks. I’m also still making stuff (the cartoon and a small game) and hope you like them when they’re out.
