Description

This is a lore-focused Fire Red hack designed for casual players. It was developed several years ago, with ongoing content additions and fixes until recently. Therefore, don’t anticipate modern features. It can be time-consuming, especially if you thoroughly explore everything and engage in various side quests. The game is divided into two parts, labeled A and B. You’ll need to use save states to transition your progress from Part A to Part B (detailed instructions can be found below in the “Playing Part B” section).

In terms of the story, the game comprises a prologue, four chapters, and a brief epilogue. In regards to difficulty, it offers a greater challenge compared to traditional Pokémon games, though most players should not encounter significant difficulty in completing it.

Synopsis

This game follows the journey of a 16-year-old girl hailing from the serene island of Crysta. Her aspiration is to attain the title of Pokémon Champion, vying for one of the coveted eight positions in the finals held on the enigmatic island of Elysium. Little does she know, an ancient malevolent force, orchestrating a scheme that has been in motion for over a century, threatens not just her and her companions but the entire world itself.

Playing Part B

When prompted by the game, you will need to use your most recent save file (saving state) to continue the story in Part B. Depending on your emulator, you may need to rename or relocate a file to a different folder.

In terms of the storyline, you must transition to the new ROM after boarding the ship known as S.S. CHALLENGER. This should occur after you have obtained all 8 badges and participated in the initial rounds of the championship at Battle Colosseum.

Features

A mix of Pokemon, moves, and types up until Pokémon X and Y. Gen I, II, and III mostly but there’s a good number of Pokémon from the next generations like Hippopotas, Garchomp, or Galvantula (Check the online Excel file for the full list of obtainable Pokémon)
Fairy Type-Pokémon & Moves (replacing old ones)
Physical-Special Split
A very few story-only related fakemon and fake moves
Several Regions to explore.
Side quests that reward you with rare Pokémon, moves, or special items.
This game comprises two parts, namely the Main Game (A) and the Finale (B).

The Main Game unfolds primarily in the Rhea region, which serves as the central focus of the game, along with a smaller region named Savahnn. This section of the story encompasses Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3. The prologue, on the other hand, transpires on the idyllic island of Crysta.

The climax of the game predominantly occurs in several key locations, including the enigmatic island of Elysium, aboard a cruise ship, and a series of islands referred to as the Therian Islands. This segment is central to Chapter 4 of the narrative.

What to do

Use save states to preserve your progress instead of relying on the game’s built-in save function. This method allows you to transfer your progress to Part B seamlessly. (In Visual Boy Advance, you can achieve this by pressing SHIFT+F1 to save an instance as a .sgm file)
For an added challenge, consider switching the Battle Style to “SET.”

What NOT to do

Don’t get hung up on completing the Pokédex. You can’t catch all the Pokémon, the focus of this ROM Hack is the story.
Do not release Pokémon that were given to you for obvious story reasons, as this may lead to the game being soft-locked. Only release Pokémon that you have personally caught using a Poké Ball.

Known Issues/Bugs

Sometimes there’s a minor graphical glitch in the reflections (it doesn’t impact the gameplay).
You will softlock if you release Pokemon that were given to you due to story reasons.
Sometimes riding or dismounting the bike causes the hero’s sprite to change into a Sylveon sprite. Entering or exiting a building will reset it.
On the S.S. Challenger, using the Omni or the Quest Logger immediately after warping from the engine room to the corridor may cause the game to crash. Simply leave the corridor first, then use it normally.
Trying to use Fly or opening the map while inside Kern Mines area may cause the game to crash
In some very few occasions, speeding the emulator when you are healing may fail. Just heal again.
If you use the standard menu save function and then transition to Part B, loading your progress may cause the game to crash during the “Previously on your quest” scene. This happens because that routine tries to show scenes from Part A from areas that no longer exist. To avoid this, use save states for a while until the ‘Previously on’ starts showing scenes only from Part B.
Please be aware that there might be spelling or language errors in the game, as English is not the creator’s native language

For a hack that’s got updated in 2025, I actually expected I a bit more features, like at least a new BGM for specific trainer battle (rivals). Just played the Part A and got to the 2nd gym. And with that I can tell the story/scripting of this hack is done by big brain novel writer (that’s a compliment of you find my word selection is confusing lmao, but I think it fix him). Seriously, why those enchantment romhackers doesn’t work together with a big brain like this guy? They could’ve reach Pokemon Unbound level of enjoyment for sure. Nevertheless, the story itself can keep make me play it, for now. But I almost give up sometimes due to the lack of features. Well that’s a curse to anyone who played high standard romhacks like Unbound…

  Update. This hack is MIND-BLOWING. I’ve never been feel exited playing a romhack before, beside Unbound. But while Unbound stays on official pokemon experience, Elysium had more mature and dark storyline, most of the dark part is on some of the side quests. If just this hack have more polished in term of aesthetic (visual, music, etc), it’ll be my top 1 romhacks, surpassing Unbound, maybe

  It is kinda ironic that the main series doesn’t manage something similar. Okay, maybe a bit less death and more “fainting” to make it for all ages but overall, this shows what is possible without overdoing it and being too mature for example. It had a decent balance, the concept of death, especially on-screen, was handled really well without spilling blood everywhere except for some side content.
  
  In a way this is amazing of course and the creator deserves all the credit. Even as a non-competitive player, nor someone who really is deep into mechanics, it was doable with the grinding made easier by speed-up functions of emulators. But on the other hand it’s sad that a major company is degrading the games more and more into a hand-holding adventure where you are not a protagonist or even much of a part of the story but a battle doll. And this is not about silent protagonists. They can work just fine. But seeing your character smile as everyone looks shocked is terrible Not to mention that all potential Pokémon has in abundance gets sucked up by wanting to be more and more child-friendly even though most young children can’t even read. Everything is just implied, never talked about. So a protagonist you may not feel with all the time still felt so much better than anything the main games have produced in a long time. Not because they can’t but they won’t. Even titles of spin-offs often had better stories, without being too brutal. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (especially the Sky variant) is a masterpiece for a rather simple game. Even later Pokémon Ranger titles do story a lot better
  
  This was amazing even with some flaws which I forgive because it’s fanmade by a non-native speaker at a time their English was likely still developing. And for that, you can still get the gist of everything even where some mistakes may happen. I also liked the complexity of relationships and to steer some things in different directions without romance being a primary focus. It was basically incorporated in a way that felt natural, especially considering the age of the protagonist, and it never became the main focus but only something developing over time, even shifting away from the expected and instead bringing characters closer through shared goals without hesitating to address conflict. Even non-malicious conflict. Where friends don’t see eye to eye but it doesn’t cause tons of drama. Characters grow a lot and the complexity is just right to be engaging but not too muddled nor trying to be ultra-profound. There are even a lot of gray areas. Parts where you think someone isn’t always wrong in thinking that way but you also understand the protagonist’s view, especially as a young person that’s no longer a young child but neither an adult yet. 16 is an age where you can grasp a lot of things around you but maybe not all complexities of life ye that come with life experience. Something that is actually shown in how characters develop in this game. How especially the younger ones are not so set in their ways yet but also easily lose their cool at times. Say things that may be insentive but also apologize for it. And that it’s not all black and white in life while still trying to see the good. But I liked that. I liked that she is a kind person but not a Mary-Sue. Because her outbursts, while at times right, don’t always change something for the better nor reach a person.
  
  One thing I would criticize is that Pokemon you receive and then later leave temporarily due to story reasons will take your items and come back the same as before you got them. Without spoiling, a certain someone took my Twisted Spoons with it and never returned them.
  
  The spelling and tile errors are overall fine. Crashes were minimal. I still recommend saving often, just in case, because Part A contains a lot of backtracking on foot and you don’t want to spend ten minutes doing it again because the cutscene crashed the game.
  
  One thing I would recommend is not using the paid version of MyBoy unless you’re absolutely certain you’ll have access to the save files on your phone or have a PC. I couldn’t access them and can’t use a computer, so I basically started part A all over again. Which was worth it but John GBA is ultimately a bit inferior in terms of speed-up but it’s much easier to patch part B on your phone as the files are accessible. So check early if your emulator has accessible save files if you don’t plan on using a PC. The 1,99€ weren’t even the issue but starting it all again. Which is worth it overall to replay butafter just having spent 80 or 90 hours on it, it was just a bit soon but I wanted to know the rest.
  
  Another thing I found a hassle were the W.P.A rules. It kinda sucked to always shuffle items around. I get the challenge and at the time the creator may not have had another solution but I feel some battles were unnecessary to have them. Especially to be more casual friendly. Like unofficial gyms. It takes time away from the story and its immersiveness to spend like half an hour at the end leveling up a wholly different team.
  
  I got all side quests done and only missed some minor stuff since I’m hoarding and no one trying to buy stuff from me will ever get to in a game. Be careful that no is sometimes the right answer to progress a quest.
  
  Some tips for those trying it out and struggling: Berries do not count as healing items and can be used in and outside battles like any other item and are fairly cheap to buy in bulk early. This will especially help you in part B at the end since you can heal up with Sitrus Berries in-between battles without wasting scarce healing items. Second tip: One-Hit KO moves work on all except one enemy even if your level is the same. If you struggle at the end, make a save state and load it when the attack missed. This is only for those struggling as the game even counts the same level as being vulnerable. For a challenge, don’t utilize the load function or the moves at all, but I’ve seen some complaints about the rather steep difficulty curve in part B even with a diverse team at level 100. Which was amazing story-wise as enemies felt like actual threats and you would debate whether it’s worth battling some optional ones but may cause problems.
  
  Before loading part B, ensure that you have bought all Berries you may need. Same with some items in some stores like PP ups you can only buy in some areas which you cannot return to later. These are useful because you will be forced to use an entirely different team at some point for a bit and being able to up some PP isn’t a bad idea.
  
  I would use rare candies only on story Pokémon at the end. You get a lot but I feel it’s nicer overall to be able to head to the climax without spending time grinding again. Like my Pokémon were level 100 way before the Championships started. I did grind but Lucky Eggs and EXP Share help greatly later.
  
  Lastly, I recommend doing side-quests. They provide valuable things and are fun to do, adding more layers to the world. Not all are ground-breakingly relevant, but all are nice add-ons. Same with exploring. Not all mysteries will lead to a solution though. Like a huge part of my playtime was also trying to figure out if some things were just mysteries or actual quests.
  
  So I agree with you. It’s an amazing story with only a few things that could have used some more detail maybe but for a relatively small ROM hack, it truly was astounding and giving the main games a run for their money.

  It’s a bit tricky, but you don’t need to patch anything.
  1. Save your game when prompted (after boarding the ship known as S.S. CHALLENGER. This should occur after you have obtained all 8 badges and participated in the initial rounds of the championship at Battle Colosseum.)
  2. Go to the folder with your Elysium save files.
  3. Change the name of the save file you want to use to the name of the part B file [Elysium – Part B (v1.2.0)].
  4. Boot up the game, that’s it.

      Yes, it’s a bit tricky, but you don’t need to install nothing. Just quick save in the right screen (it’s described in the post), then go into your phone files and open the saves from your emulator. In there, you will find every quicksave of every game you have on your emulator. Locate the one you want to transfer to part B and change it’s name to the name of the part B file (change only the number, if I remember correctly, it’s enough). Then just boot up the game and you are in
