STANDALONE GAMES — NO BASE ROM

Pokémon fangames for PC & Android,
kept separate from ROM hacks.

These games install as standalone projects instead of patching a commercial Pokémon ROM. Compare the exact platform, story scope, completion state, language and source confidence before choosing what to play.

DIRECT ANSWERS

Choose a fangame without mixing up the format

What is a Pokémon fangame?
On this page, a fangame is a standalone fan-made Pokémon game rather than a patch for a commercial Pokémon ROM. Each profile keeps its exact installation model visible so the two formats are never mixed.
Do Pokémon fangames need an emulator?
The standalone games listed here do not use a GBA or Game Boy emulator. Platform support still varies: some run directly on Windows, while an Android route may use JoiPlay only when the project source documents it.
Which source-verified Pokémon fangame should I start with?
Pokémon Nova is Pocket Radar's strongest fully source-verified standalone starting point: its canonical sources document a complete open-world campaign, Windows and JoiPlay routes, English and Spanish, and all 1,025 official Pokémon as obtainable.
Does Pocket Radar host Pokémon fangame downloads?
No. Pocket Radar links only to developer-owned project, release, documentation or source-code pages. It does not host installers, mirrors, ROMs, BIOS files or prepatched games.
BEST DOCUMENTED START

Start with a fully source-verified standalone game

Only a complete creator-source chain earns this placement. Partially verified games remain visible below, but they are not promoted to the same confidence level.

Standalone does not mean every device

Windows, Android, macOS and Linux support are recorded separately. Pocket Radar never turns a community workaround into confirmed native support and never mirrors an installer.
