Overview
Built from the vanilla Emerald decomp, Pokémon Obscura is a ROM hack set in the Shizen region, a region that is on the cusp of booming Pokémon technology. In Pokémon Obscura, your 16 year old protagonist is thrown right into the action, as you meet a strange figure that tells you of an impending doom that can only be resolved by the return of an ancient Pokémon guardian that has been missing for 200 years, and you guessed it, that person who will restore balance to the Shizen region is none other than you! Travel this new region with its own story with Pokémon spanning gens 1-9 from a hand-selected 256 count Pokédex while you battle heroes from the past to obtain the strength that you need to restore the region...and battle against an enemy organization looking to obtain this strength for themselves.

Storyline
Pokemon Obscura is a story-driven ROM hack built from the vanilla Emerald decomp, set in the tech-advancing Shizen region. You play as a 16-year-old thrust into destiny after encountering a mysterious figure who warns of an ancient doom—one that can only be stopped by the return of a long-lost guardian Pokémon missing for 200 years.\n\nExplore a fresh region with Pokémon from Generations 1–9 (curated 256-mon Pokédex), battle legendary trainers from the past, and stop a rising organization bent on harnessing ancient power for their own ends.
