About This Game

Pokemon World Link (beta) Box Art

Introduction: Pokemon World Link (beta) is an unfinished ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed for the Game Boy Advance. It is set in the new region of Korros, which features a mix of original and familiar-looking towns and routes. The visual style uses FireRed's base tiles and sprites with some custom edits, maintaining the standard GBA aesthetic.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The game offers a choice of three starter Pokemon: Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. It is built on the pre-Physical/Special split engine of FireRed, meaning move categories are still determined by type. The difficulty is standard for a base FireRed hack, not specifically designed as a challenge run. Key mechanical changes are limited; it does not introduce the Fairy type, Mega Evolution, or a day/night cycle, focusing instead on new story content and region design.

Key Features:

  • An original storyline set in the Korros region with new characters and a rival.
  • Access to all Pokemon from the first three generations, with some available earlier in the campaign.
  • Several beta-exclusive areas and events that showcase planned content which was never fully implemented.
As an incomplete beta, the game contains numerous bugs, soft-lock potential, and areas that are not fully polished. Pokemon World Link (beta) represents an ambitious but unfinished project for players interested in exploring a new region built on a classic foundation.
