Oh boy, it's Pokemon Light Platinum.

One of the most popular, well-known, and controversial rom hacks ever made.

While the game has it's fans, and it's definitely not bad... its certainly not the most refined Pokemon ROM hack ever made.

Again, it's not bad, but it has it's issues. I mean, after all, it was originally released in 2009 with it's last update in 2014... so naturally, it's gonna age.

So what is Pokemon Light Platinum?

You might guess from the name it has something to do with Pokemon Platinum, the generation 4 DS game... but Light Platinum is it's own beast.

It's a fully fan-made Pokemon campaign, hacked on-top of Pokemon Ruby.

It's set in an all-new region, Zhery, and it has another region to complete after Zhery, called Lauren.

It's about Arceus, and at one point, the Professor of the game Jasmine, even details the origins of the Pokemon universe, and it's pretty cool.
