Pokémon Elysium
DOWNLOAD FOLDER (Complete. Last version: 2.0.0 - 27-January-2024)
Download Part A
Download Part B
Base game: Fire Red 1.0 (Recommended patcher: upset 0.4).
Summary
This is a game about the adventure of a 16-year-old girl from the peaceful island of Crysta. She's on a journey to become a Pokémon Champion, aiming to secure one of the 8 spots in the finals set on the mysterious Elysium island. However, unbeknownst to her, an ancient dark presence, setting in motion a plan more than 100 years in the making, will endanger not only her and her friends but the entire world.
About
It is a story/lore-focused Fire Red hack for casual players, developed years ago (although content was added until very recently) that I decided to release it despite originally not planning to. It is a lengthy one, especially if you explore everything and follow the various side quests, and it is divided into two parts, A and B. To play it, you'll need to patch two files and use save states to continue your saved game from Part A to B (instructions can be found in the readme file that accompanies the download). Story-wise, the game consists of a prologue, four chapters and a small epilogue. Regarding its difficulty, it's harder than the Pokémon games, but most players will not find any difficulty in finishing it. It was first released on reddit and you can read the post here.
Features:
- A mix of Pokémon, moves and types up until Pokémon X and Y. Gen I, II and III mostly but there's a decent number of Pokémon from the next generations like Hippopotas, Garchomp, Rhyperion 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 fakemoves
- Some (permanent) Mega Evolutions
- Several Regions to explore.
- Side quests that reward you with rare Pokémon, moves or special items.
Things to know - Bugs
Spoiler:
What to do:
Use save states to save your progress rather than the game's built-in save feature. This way you can pass your progress to Part B. I.e in Visual Boy Advance, SHIFT+F1 saves an instance to a .sgm file.
Save in many and different slots
Switch Battle Style to SET for more challenge.
What to not do:
Try to complete the Pokedex. You can't catch every pokemon, the focus of this Rom Hack is the story. You can ignore the Pokedex Completely
Do not release Pokémon that were given to you for obvious story reasons, as this could potentially lead to the game being softlocked. Release only the Pokémon you've personally caught using a Pokéball.
Known Issues/Bugs:
Sometimes there's a minor graphical glitch in the reflections (it doesn't impact the gameplay).
At a certain point in the game, you will softlock if you release an obtainable Lapras before obtaining HM Surf.
In very, very rare occasions, the player's sprite (may) suddenly messes up. This can be quickly fixed by entering or exiting a building or cave or using FLY. This has been fixed but there's still a very small chance you may encounter that bug.
Please be aware that there might be spelling or language errors in the game, as English is not the creator's native language!
Patching to Part B
When prompted by the game, you will need to patch Part B onto a clean ROM and use your most recent save file (saving state) to continue the story. 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.

Instructions of how to play PART B in Android Emulators (Using MyBoy as example):
- While playing PART A: When the game prompts you with the message "SAVE NOW", go and create a new Save State from the Menu -> Save - > Slot 1.
- (Optional) Link your Android with a PC (unless you can rename/copy files from your phone).
- Navigate to the folder where MyBoy stores the save files. The path should look like this: Phone\Android\data\com.fastemulator.gba\files\save.
- (IMPORTANT) Assuming your game is named PokemonElysiumA.gba. Take a copy of PokemonElysiumA ST1 file and PokemonElysiumA.st1 PNG file. to an external folder of your PC to make sure you have a backup of them.
- Download and patch PART B to a completely new ROM and add it to your MyBoy. Make sure it doesn't overwrite your first one. (save it with a different name).
- If your patched rom is now called PokemonElysiumB.gba, rename the two files of step 4 to PokemonElysiumB ST1 and PokemonElysiumB.st1 PNG and place them to the same save folder (\Android\data\com.fastemulator.gba\files\save)
- Boot the 2nd ROM, go to the menu and LOAD the first state. You should see your hero inside the ship.
Instructions of how to play PART B in iOS Emulators by user u/Grazerous
I have been able to patch it in iOS, following this: I launched the 2nd part and made a quick save state. I then, copied the save file from part A to the save state folder on part B (where I have this quick save state) and renamed the save file from part A giving it the name of the quick save from part B, which are some letters and numbers.
