PokeSouls is a Dark Souls-inspired Pokémon FireRed ROM hack that transforms the classic Pokémon formula into a brutal, high-stakes RPG experience. Expect punishing battles, boss-style encounters, darker themes, and a progression system built around survival, mastery, and smart decision-making.
PokeSouls reimagines Pokémon as a much harsher RPG, inspired by the design philosophy of Dark Souls-style games. Instead of casual gym-to-gym progression, players are pushed into a world where every fight can be dangerous, every mistake matters, and building a smart, balanced team is essential.
