"Pokemon Prism" has found new life after it was leaked by pirates. The pirated ROM of "Pokemon Prism" is being distributed now after Nintendo had put a halt to the project. Nintendo shutdown the game right before it was released but fans now have been given access to the game and have now been playing it.
According to gaming website Polygon, the free custom ROM hack of the "Pokemon Crystal" project was in development for eight years. "Pokemon Prism" provides an experience never seen before within the Pokemon universe.
The ROM hack was created by a team led by Koolboyman. They had planned to release the free ROM in time for Christmas. The project was shut down through the efforts of Nintendo. The video game company forced the termination of the development for the custom Pokemon game. Nintendo issued a cease-and-desist order four days before Pokemon Prism was supposed to be released.
Despite Nintendo's best efforts and thanks to a group of pirates and to a widely available copy of the last version of the game that the pirates had leaked, the hacked ROM finally reached its intended audience.
Pokemon Prism is now in the hands of its ardent admirers, the fans who followed the development of the game and awaited its final release. It had now found its way online.The free custom game is also finally accessible to Pokemon fans. The ROM of Pokemon Prism is now available throughout the internet.
Gaming website Kotaku reported that ROM hacking involves editing portions of the Read Only Memory of software. The goal in hacking video game ROMs is to modify how a game looks or how it is played. Many ROM hacks involve cheats that make it easier to play the game or to acquire and use rare items.
The ROM usually referred to in gaming terms is a file that contains a copy of the digital contents of a physical game cartridge. The file contains all the elements of the game software. It includes the game's data, variables, sprites, images, game logic, dialog, plot, menus, and the game program itself among many other elements.
Koolboyman's custom Pokemon game was intended to include several features. It would have added character customization, your own Pokemon as a playable character, original custom Pokemon, and a whole new region in "Pokemon Crystal" for exploration. The creators of "Pokemon Prism" wanted to offer an entirely new experience for free.
