Download3. Pokemon Dark Worship 2
Pokemon Dark Worship 2 is the follow-up to the popular FireRed hack Pokemon Dark Worship, now rebuilt and expanded in the Sinnoh region with fresh surprises and an original, custom storyline. The game picks up after events from the classic Sinnoh titles — Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum — but forges its own path with new conflicts, new faces, and new mysteries that ripple through the region.
After Cyrus’s disappearance into the Distortion World, Sinnoh was quiet for a time — but not for long. The remaining operatives of Team Galactic have allied with the shadowy Team Dark Worship under the leadership of Joshua, the son of Izac. Together they plot something that could reshape the destiny of Sinnoh’s legendaries. The full scope of their plan is still unknown, and the player will unravel it piece by piece.
The game blends classic Sinnoh charm and beloved characters (Barry, Dawn, Professor Rowan, and more) with the original cast from the Dark Worship universe, giving long-time fans and newcomers alike a familiar yet unpredictable experience. With Pokemon from Generations 1 through 9, expanded encounters on every route, and a custom quest-driven narrative, Pokemon Dark Worship 2 aims to deliver a deep, replayable RPG experience that honors the originals while adding plenty of new thrills.
Download2. Pokemon Duality
Pokemon Duality takes place in the newly created region of Lumina, where an ancient struggle between light and darkness shaped the world. In a time long before modern civilization, Giratina sought to spread chaos from the Distortion World, twisting both Pokémon and humans in the process.
To stop this, Arceus battled Giratina and sealed its power within seven Shadow Orbs hidden across Lumina. Over centuries, this conflict faded into legend, remembered only through writings left behind by monks in old ruins.
In the present day, Thorne, leader of Team Obsidian, uncovers forbidden texts and begins searching for the Shadow Orbs. Convinced that Giratina represents true freedom rather than chaos, he seeks to challenge Arceus’s influence and remake the world in his own vision.
