Play Pokemon Chronicles of Soala Online

Pokemon Chronicles of Soala feels like stumbling onto a lost GBA game from back in the day. The Soala region has this weird mix of familiar routes and odd little twists, like trainers using pokemon you wouldn't expect. First ten minutes? You're thrown into some vague mystery about ancient ruins, but mostly it's the usual catching and battling, just with a slightly off-kilter vibe.

Ran into a bug where the screen flickered near the second gym, and some of the dialogue feels like it was translated awkwardly. But there's something charming about it, like finding an old bootleg cartridge. The new pokemon designs are hit or miss—some look like rejected beta sprites, others weirdly fit.

If you're into obscure rom hacks, Pokemon Chronicles of Soala is worth a look, just don't expect polish.
