Check out our new Travel Journals forum for sharing playthroughs of ROM Hacks, Fan Games, and other Pokémon content!

IMPORTANT: Following a takedown request, the following hacks have been delisted from PokéCommunity:

  • Pokémon Glazed
  • Pokémon: Giratina Strikes Back
  • Pokémon Flora Sky
  • Pokémon Stranded
The downloads and discussion threads for these hacks will no longer be accessible, and staff will be unable to return questions regarding accessing this content.

PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

I understand how this tutorial isn't needed, but there are so many new pipol that still kept on asking how to patch... =/
Anyway... No fancy things here. I'm going straight to the point.
  • What You Need
    1. A Pokémon ROM
    2. A patch of the hack you want to play...
    3. A patcher (Lunar IPS Patcher, UPS Patcher (download Winrar if you can't extract/open .rar files))
  • Information

    Hacks/Mods have different patches available. If the patch is .ips, then you'll need Lunar IPS Patcher. If the patch is .ups, then you'll need the UPS Patcher. If the patch download is in .rar, and you can't open or extract it, then download and install WinRAR.
