About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Amaryllis is an original-region GBA ROM hack set in the Ohkai region, a cold and uneven landmass far removed from the known Pokémon regions. The hack places strong emphasis on new Pokémon, custom lore, and modern battle mechanics, while still running on the Pokémon FireRed engine.
The project is currently in beta, with content planned to expand over time, including additional Fakemon, story progression, and polish.
Story Overview
The Ohkai region is a rugged and chilly land, known for its beautiful flowers and newly discovered Pokémon species. Recently, a mysterious flower known as the Amaryllis has begun appearing across the region—despite not being native to Ohkai.
You play as a child from Wistfall Village, a small settlement in the southwest of the region. One day, Professor Basswood, a botanist and Pokémon enthusiast, gives you and a newly arrived red-haired girl rare Pokémon partners. He tasks you both with investigating the strange appearance of the Amaryllis flower.
At the same time, a group called Team Epoch has emerged. Their research into Pokémon minds and biology—and their attempts to control Pokémon—have drawn the attention of the region’s Pokémon Rangers. As tensions rise, you and your rival become entangled in a growing conflict that may threaten the entire Ohkai region.
