But that recent bout of experimentation doesn\u2019t diminish just how long the Pok\u00e9-formula has remained mostly static. For two and a half decades, the developer essentially released the same game over and over, and fans like me ate it up like pulled <a href=\"https:\/\/bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net\/wiki\/Lechonk_(Pok%C3%A9mon)\">Lechonk<\/a>. Perhaps disappointingly, the series appears to be resuming its usual course with the more traditional <em>Scarlet &amp; Violet<\/em> launch this November.<\/p>\n<p>Whether <em>Legends<\/em> will form an enduring and fresh new branch on Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s franchise tree is the kind of philosophical quandary that could make <a href=\"https:\/\/bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net\/wiki\/Xatu_(Pok%C3%A9mon)\">Xatu<\/a> spend all day staring at the sun.<\/p>\n<p>But for those who look beyond Nintendo\u2019s official releases, the Pok\u00e9mon series is anything but stale. While Nintendo, the games&#8217; publisher, hasn&#8217;t worked to make older Pok\u00e9mon games accessible on modern hardware\u2014or affordable on older gear\u2014a certain demographic of dedicated fans has taken it upon themselves to not just preserve legacy Pok\u00e9mon titles but to actively improve them. These volunteer ROM hackers and preservationists work to keep the passions of an aging generation of Pok\u00e9mon masters alive, all while fighting occasionally brutal legal crackdowns from Nintendo.<\/p>\n<h2>A growing tradition<\/h2>\n<p>After falling in love with Pok\u00e9mon, ROM hacker Spherical Ice spent hours designing custom sprites on forums when he was just seven years old. \u201cThat inevitably led to me discovering ROM hacks, but I was really scared about the law, so I remember hiding it from my brother and parents because I thought I would go to jail,\u201d Spherical Ice told me.<\/p>\n<p>ROM hacker Vytron, who made the hacks&nbsp;<em>Pok\u00e9mon Saiph<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Sors<\/em>, has also had to consider the legal issues inherent in the hobby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a certain point of view, I can understand [Nintendo\u2019s] behavior toward fan creations,\u201d Vytron said. \u201cHowever, I do think it\u2019s a bit over the top. The base games are titles Nintendo does not redistribute nowadays. [ROM hack] creators always point to Game Freak and Nintendo as the creators of not just the base game but Pok\u00e9mon as a brand, and they don\u2019t charge money for the games\u2014they don\u2019t harm the business of the company.\u201d <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad_wrapper\" aria-label=\"In Content advertisement\"> <span class=\"ad_notice\">Advertisement <\/span> <\/aside>\n<p>Many other Pok\u00e9mon ROM hackers feel similarly. Since these projects tend to rejuvenate interest in older games\u2014most of which are only playable on the hardware they were originally developed for\u2014they can increase the overall popularity of Pok\u00e9mon without laying claim to any profits. Proof of this effect isn\u2019t hard to come by; a cursory glance at YouTube or Twitch immediately demonstrates the immense draw ROM hacks have today. In many ways, it\u2019s difficult to imagine contemporary Pok\u00e9mon without them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery shortcode-gallery gallery-wide\">\n<ul>\n<li data-thumb=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-150x150.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region.png\" data-responsive=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-980x654.png 1080, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-1440x961.png 2560\" data-sub-html=\"#caption-1884828\">\n<figure><figcaption id=\"caption-1884828\"> <span class=\"icon caption-arrow icon-drop-indicator\"><\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\"> A new region in <em>Pok\u00e9mon Sors<\/em>. <\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li data-thumb=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-2-150x150.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-2.png\" data-responsive=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-2-980x652.png 1080, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/romhack_pokemon-sors-region-2-1440x958.png 2560\" data-sub-html=\"#caption-1884827\">\n<figure><figcaption id=\"caption-1884827\"> <span class=\"icon caption-arrow icon-drop-indicator\"><\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\"> Another new region, plus autorun. <\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>This is especially true when considering the vibrant history of Pok\u00e9mon ROM hacks. While there has been a sharp increase in awareness of the space in the last few years, today\u2019s ROM hackers were playing the hacking work of others as early as 2007\u2014and some hacks date back even further than that.<\/p>\n<p>ShockSlayer, the creator of ROM hack <em>Crystal Clear<\/em>, remembers encountering publisher Natsume\u2019s Telefang games, an unrelated series of Japanese monster-catching titles that bootleggers famously <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Keitai_Denj%C5%AB_Telefang#Piracy\">translated as <em>Pok\u00e9mon Diamond<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Jade<\/em><\/a> in an attempt to capture Western Pok\u00e9-mania. One of those bootlegs would eventually lend its name to an official Pok\u00e9mon game, while the other featured the Forest Spirit from the Hayao Miyazaki film <em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> on its box art (the Forest Spirit, obviously and unfortunately, wasn\u2019t catchable).<\/p>\n<p>While these projects weren\u2019t necessarily ROM hacks in the conventional sense of the term, they were at least partially responsible for instigating the first wave of Pok\u00e9mon fan games like <em>Shiny Gold<\/em>, <em>Chaos Black<\/em>, and <em>Quartz<\/em>\u2014names that cropped up as often as <em>Red
