Introduction
Hello Pokemerald community, my name is Skeli and this is my only ROM hack. I started ROM hacking seriously in 2016 and since then I’ve written various ASM routines, created the Dynamic Pokemon Expansion for FireRed and developed the Complete FireRed Upgrade together with ghoulslash.
After a long time I’m proud to announce that Pokemon Unbound is finally ready. There are now two fully functional versions:
The first is the main game, a story-driven game with complex puzzles that will test the limits of your patience and perseverance. Once you’ve completed the main campaign, there’s also a significant amount of post-game content to enjoy over the coming weeks.
The second version, called the Battle Frontier Demo, introduces Unbound’s combat engine by granting unlimited access to the Battle Frontier. This version was created in the format of a mobile game, i.e. H. daily rewards, monthly payouts and unlimited playtime. If you like fighting, you’ll find plenty to do with over 100 different possible combat combinations. For a fair combat experience, I recommend choosing this version over the main game’s Insane difficulty – a difficulty designed for unfair challenges.
With that in mind: Have fun with Pokemon Unbound!
Story
Welcome to Borrius, a region steeped in history. Centuries ago, the Borrian people were engaged in a great war with a foreign land. When all seemed lost, the Borrian king summoned a mighty force to turn the tide. Unfortunately, the war ended in defeat when the king of the foreign land used a devastating weapon. Angered, the Borrian army returned home.
The people, now angry with the Borrian king, attempted a coup d’etat by manipulating the dark power summoned during the war. However, the Borrian king managed to seal their power and the coup was foiled.
Many years later, an organization known simply as the “Shadows” appears intent on unleashing the dark force once more. Are they aiming to destroy the Borrius region, or is something else at play? It’s up to you to stand in their way! Also Try Pokemon Infinite Fusion.
