i was today years old to discover the best unofficial pokemon game ever.
back in 2017, a developer named pia carrot quietly released something that pokemon fans have been dreaming for 20 years.
a pokemon game (built on pokemon crystal) called pokemon orange.
while it looked like a gen 2 game, the games takes place in orange island, the tropical region from the anime where it never got its own game.
players start as a kid from valencia island and deliver the mysterious gs ball to professor oak while taking on the orange crew.
the best thing was that the game introduced mechanics most official games didn’t even have yet back then like:
1. reusable tms
2. physical and special split
3. tropical forms
4. pinkan berries that would turn your pokemon pink for ever
players also can catch the crystal onix. also they have the ability to surf just right the start of the game between islands.
once you finish the main game. you unlock a post game story based on pokemon 2000 movie featuring lugia and legendary birds.
