Pokemon ROMs Download - Top ROMs

Most of the Pokemon Games I played growing up were on GBA. FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald probably got more hours than I want to admit. Years later, I went back through them — this time using emulators. It’s the same games, same music, same battles, just on a different screen.

This page brings together a mix of original Pokemon ROMs and fan edits. Some are untouched backups of the real thing. Others have been modified — new regions, new stories, tougher AI. They all run well on emulators like MyBoy, DraStic, or Citra, depending on the system.

You can pick by console. GBA for the classics, DS for games like Platinum or HeartGold, 3DS if you’re after Sun, Moon, or Omega Ruby. Most files are small, clean, and ready to go.

Not gonna lie, figuring out emulators kinda threw me off at first. Too many names, too many file types. But after testing a few, it started making sense.

Here’s what usually works:

No need to complicate things. Just grab one, give it a try, and see how it goes.

ROMs come in all sorts of formats: .gba, .nds, .3ds, .cia. Sounds messy at first, but it’s really about matching the file with the emulator. That’s all.

Heads-up: some emulators won’t play zipped files. You might need to unzip them first. Others, like Citra, can open .3ds or .cia directly.

If things don’t load, here’s what might be going wrong:

Trying a different emulator can often fix weird problems. No stress.


There’s a lot to enjoy here. You can jump into FireRed again or try out a ROM hack of Black 2 with new regions and mechanics. Tons of cool stuff out there.

To get started:

  1. Choose a game
  2. Download the ROM
  3. Open it with the right emulator

And that’s really all you need.


Is it safe? Totally. ROMs here are checked and clean. No shady extras, no installers, no hidden junk — just the game, plain and simple.
