About Pokemon Light Platinum
Pokemon Light Platinum is one of the most famous and influential Pokémon ROM hacks ever released. Created by WesleyFG, it is built on Pokémon Ruby and delivers a completely original Pokémon journey.
The adventure begins in the Zhery Region, a fully custom landmass with new towns, routes, gyms, story events, and a unique Pokémon League. After becoming champion, the game opens up the Lauren Region, effectively turning Light Platinum into a dual-region Pokémon experience similar in scope to official Generation II titles.
Unlike simple enhancement hacks, Light Platinum focuses on a full RPG structure: cinematic events, tournament arcs, legendary Pokémon quests, and gym battles that gradually scale in difficulty. This makes it one of the most complete “fan-made Pokémon games” available.
