Created by <a href=\"https:\/\/eeveeexpo.com\/members\/14640\/\" id=\"js-XFUniqueId4\" target=\"_blank\">AlmAchAndAlee<\/a> and first uploaded back in January 2025, <em>Pok\u00e9mon Decay <\/em>is a fully completed project that is now available to download for free, and it will be the perfect way for fans to return to a whopping four incredible regions. <\/p>\n<p>Set in the Talem region, <em>Pok\u00e9mon Decay <\/em>is &#8220;intended to give the player as much nostalgia as possible by referring to the storylines of the old games.&#8221; The story follows the player who wakes up with no memories and soon discovers that it is up to them to discover the truth behind the natural disasters that targeted the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Following the disasters, the four iconic regions have now come together to form one: the Talem region.<\/p>\n<p>Gameplay consists of defeating eight Gym Leaders and the Elite Four all whilst facing all of the beloved characters and evil teams first introduced in the first four generations of Pok\u00e9mon. As such, the map features every Pok\u00e9mon found in classic entries, as well as later evolutions. &#8220;For self-preservation reasons, they had to adjust themselves to the new environment,&#8221; the official ROM hack description reads. &#8220;That&#8217;s why many of them had to change their typing. Those Pok\u00e9mon are known as Delta Species.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:74.683544303797%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n                                                                                            <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=1\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\"\/><img width=\"825\" height=\"616\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image shows Pokemon from Pokemon Decay\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-decay-v0-djtmquttwbff1.webp?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>Pok\u00e9mon Decay <\/em>welcomes 131 Delta Species and 40 Evolutions and Pre-Evolutions of pre-existing Pok\u00e9mon, offering players a roster unlike any other.
