Play Pokemon Poke’s Bizarre Adventure Online

Pokemon Poke’s Bizarre Adventure is one of those weird GBA rom hacks that throws you into a world where nothing makes sense, but in a fun way. You start with a totally random starter—mine was a Pikachu with sunglasses—and then the game just keeps getting stranger from there.

The battles feel familiar, but the trainers you fight have bizarre teams, like a guy with six Magikarp that all know Hyper Beam. The dialogue is full of odd jokes and fourth-wall breaks, and the map twists in ways that shouldn’t be possible. It’s messy, but there’s charm in how unpredictable it is.

If you’re tired of standard Pokémon games and want something unhinged, Pokemon Poke’s Bizarre Adventure might be worth a look.
