While there’s a near endless amount of ROM hacks available for those who legally own a copy of the game, fans on Reddit have been discussing which one is the best of them all and the consensus has landed on Pokemon Unbound.
For those unaware, Pokemon Unbound is a ROM hack for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance title Pokemon FireRed. It takes players on a new adventure to the Borrius region, where they’ll find Pokemon never-seen in the base games. It’s very story-driven and is absolutely massive compared to the regular Pokemon games. You can even select your difficulty for those who fancy more of a challenge.
Speaking about the ROM hack, players are hailing it as the best on the market, and a must-play for any fans of the series.
“Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition and Pokemon Unbound are their own tier from the ones I've played.”
“Unbound set a new precedent of standards in the ROM hacking scene. Gave us the CFRU battle engine. Introduced so many QOL improvements and features we see in other rom hacks (quest log comes to mind).”
“Unbound, FireRed Rocket Edition, newly released Dark Worship are full-fledged and pretty good.”
If you own a copy of Pokemon FireRed and fancy giving Pokemon Unbound a try for yourself you can find several online guides to make it happen.
