Pokemon X ROM (3DS) – Play on PC & Android with Citra

Pokemon X ROM (3DS) lets you play one of the most legendary Pokémon titles on PC and Android using emulators like Citra. Explore Kalos in full 3D, battle with Mega Evolutions, and relive the game that redefined the franchise.

What Makes Pokemon X… Pokemon X

Some games fade into “oh yeah, I played that once.” Not this one.

  • Kalos Region = alive. Streets actually buzzing, forests with depth, not just flat green wallpaper.
  • Mega Evolution = mind blown. My Charizard going full Super Saiyan mid-battle? chef’s kiss.
  • Music & vibe. The soundtrack still gets stuck in my head (seriously, try Lumiose City’s theme again).

Pokemon X wasn’t perfect (the roller skates… ugh), but it mattered.

Playing It Now (ROM + Emulator Setup)

Not gonna overcomplicate this.

  • Want quick install? Grab the .CIA file.
  • Want the “classic raw dump”? Go with the .3DS file.

Citra handles both like a champ. On PC (even older ones), you’ll get smooth gameplay. On Android, it’s surprisingly good too—unless your phone is ancient.

Pokémon X ROM running on a smartphone with a 3DS emulator

Minimum PC stuff you’ll need:

  • CPU: Intel i5-ish
  • RAM: 4GB (8 is nicer)
  • GPU: OpenGL 3.3+
  • OS: Windows, Linux, or whatever doesn’t crash 😅

Pokemon X vs Y – The Twin Rivalry

This debate never ends.

  • Exclusive Pokemon in each version.
  • A few Mega Evolutions only appear in one.
  • If you’re a Pokedex perfectionist → you’ll need trades or both ROMs.

Troubleshooting: Quick Fixes

  1. Error that kills the computer on boot: Go to the most recent Citra build → check the ROM hash, then turn off modifications and texture packs. delete the shader cache and then restart.
  2. Freeze on Mega Evolution: Accurate Multiplication = Safe/Off → Resolution Scale = 1x–2x → clear shaders → relaunch.
  3. Black screen / no audio: Hardware Renderer ON → Enable Shader JIT ON → Audio Stretch OFF → update GPU drivers (Windows).
  4. Low FPS on Android: Close background apps → set Resolution Scale 0.75x–1x → Use .3DS file → enable “Use hardware renderer”.
  5. Save not detected: Ensure same title ID on both devices → copy the exact save folder path from Citra saves to target device.
  6. Controller mapping: PC: map in Citra > Controls. Android: map in Settings > Controls; enable “Use external controller”.

Pokemon X ROM – FAQ

Can I play Pokemon X ROM on Citra?

Yes. Install Citra, then load either the .3DS file (raw ROM) or install the .CIA build inside the emulator.

.3DS vs .CIA — which should I use on Android?

Use .3DS for Android. It usually loads faster and is more reliable on most phones. .CIA is fine on desktop Citra.

I get “Fatal Error” on launch. How do I fix it?

Update Citra to the latest build, re-verify the ROM, disable texture packs/mods, and clear shader cache. On Android, also grant storage permissions.

The game freezes when I Mega Evolve. Any fix?

Turn off “Accurate Multiplication” or switch it to “Safe/Medium,” clear shaders, and try Hardware Renderer ON with a lower resolution scale.

Does .CIA work on Citra?

Yes. Use Install CIA in Citra. For quick testing, .3DS is simpler (Open File > choose ROM).

Minimum PC requirements?

Intel i5-class CPU, 4–8 GB RAM, GPU with OpenGL 3.3+, Windows/Linux. For smoother play: 8 GB RAM.

How do I move saves between PC and Android?

Copy the save folder from Citra on your source device to the destination’s Citra save path for the same title ID. Keep folder names identical.

Pokemon X vs Y — what’s different?

Version exclusives and a few Mega Evolution options differ. To complete the Pokédex you’ll need trades (or both versions).

Best Citra settings for performance?

Hardware Renderer ON, Resolution Scale 1x–2x (then raise), Accurate Multiplication Safe/Off, Enable Shader JIT ON, V-Sync OFF for max FPS.
