A Pokémon FireRed ROM hack inspired by the legendary Orange Islands anime arc. Explore tropical islands, complete unique trials, and experience a full fan-made Pokémon adventure beyond Kanto.
Pokemon Orange Islands is a fan-made Pokémon ROM hack built on Pokémon FireRed. It is inspired by the famous Orange Islands arc from the Pokémon anime, where Ash travels through a tropical archipelago between the Kanto and Johto regions.
Instead of traditional gyms, the Orange Islands challenge players with unique trials, puzzle-focused challenges, and story-driven battles. The game blends classic Pokémon progression with a fresh island-hopping structure that focuses on exploration and variety.
This ROM hack is especially popular among players who enjoyed story-based games like Pokémon Ash Gray, offering a similar anime-style journey but set in an original region rarely explored in official Pokémon titles.
Pokemon Orange Islands focuses on delivering something official games never fully explored: a dedicated Orange Archipelago adventure. Rather than simply remixing Kanto or Johto, it builds an entire journey around island exploration, ship travel, and non-traditional Pokémon challenges.
This makes it one of the most distinctive Pokémon ROM hacks available, and a favourite among fans of the anime era.
