Pokemon Outlaw is a gritty Pokemon FireRed (U) ROM hack by Crizzle that transforms the classic Kanto journey into a darker, story-driven experience filled with satire, crime-inspired themes, and unexpected twists.
A FireRed ROM hack that abandons the traditional Pokémon hero fantasy.
Instead of beginning as a cheerful new trainer, you start Pokemon Outlaw as a homeless teenager growing up in the slums of Kanto. The game reshapes familiar towns into harsher environments and replaces the standard gym-challenge flow with a more narrative-focused journey.
While the FireRed engine remains, many maps are altered, dialogue is completely rewritten, and the tone leans heavily into parody, dark humour, and unconventional storytelling.
The story focuses on survival, ambition, and climbing out of the bottom of society. Along the way, you encounter criminal groups, corrupt figures, and unusual characters that radically change how Kanto feels compared to the original games.
The Pokémon League plays a major role, but not in the way players expect — the game is known for a significant narrative twist late in the adventure.
