Quartz is set in the region of Corna, where the hero/heroine has relocated from Saffron City to help Professor Baro research these new Pokémon. It’s a little piece of ROM hacking history. Not only that, it is also the very first hack with a full Pokédex of fan-made Pokémon, commonly referred to by the community as “Fakemon”. This makes Quartz one of the first ever completed hacks. Created by PokéCommunity member Teh Baro, affectionately known as simply “Baro”, this Pokémon Ruby hack began development way back in 2004 before ROM hacking was anywhere near as popular a hobby as it is today, and was completed in 2006.
A title anyone who plays Pokémon ROM hacks will know. It’s that time of the week again – time for #FeatureFriday! This week, we’ll take a look at Pokémon Quartz DX, a remake of an ancient ROM hack called Pokémon Quartz.Īh, Pokémon Quartz.
