Story & Setting

Pokemon Saiph takes place years after the events of Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. After the Shadow Crystal was purified, scientists learned to harness its power as an energy source. Fearing its influence, Almia’s government sold it to Hoenn, where Old Mauville was converted into a massive power plant.

Disaster struck when Old Mauville exploded, releasing devastating radiation waves. The crystal was relocated to a secret laboratory in the nearby Colen Region, while western Hoenn — including Littleroot Town — was completely evacuated.

Ten years later, you begin your Pokémon journey in Colen. As you explore, you encounter Team Void, a mysterious organization linked to the Shadow Crystal and the legendary Pokémon Darkrai. Their goal: to reclaim the crystal, rescue a man lost inside it, and use Darkrai’s power to reshape the world. It’s up to you to stop them — and uncover the truth behind the Shadow Crystal once and for all.

This is one of the few GBA ROM hacks that connects its story to the Pokémon Ranger universe, giving Saiph a unique identity among FireRed hacks.
