About This ROM Hack
Pokémon 2Awesome Version is a comedy-driven FireRed ROM hack created as a sequel to Pokémon Awesome Version, focusing heavily on humor, references, and unconventional storytelling.
Unlike traditional ROM hacks that aim for realism or difficulty, this project leans fully into its identity as a parody experience, filled with jokes, pop culture references, and exaggerated characters. The tone is intentionally chaotic and self-aware, blending humor with a surprisingly structured narrative underneath.
Despite its comedic nature, the hack still includes custom maps, original scripts, and a full storyline, making it more than just a joke project. It delivers a short but distinct experience where humor and gameplay are tightly combined, creating something that feels unique within the ROM hacking scene.
Story Overview
You play as a typical Trainer aiming to conquer the four Gyms of the Empire region while constantly competing against your salty and obnoxious rival, Fatal. Along the journey, you witness Pokémon being mysteriously harmed, and the actions of a secretive army begin to affect civilians. While you are not immediately motivated to stop them, the story gradually reveals the stakes, uncovering secrets and creating tension.
