Sure Pokemon Legends: Z-A just released last month but what if I told you that the most exciting Pokemon game actually comes out next week? While Nintendo's hot new thing has its pros (and cons) fans of the series may be more interested in Pokemon Lazarus, a much-hyped ROM hack finally releasing its 1.0 version on November 14.
Lazarus's creator, Nemo622, made the announcement in a post on the r/PokemonROMhacks subreddit. The 1.0 release will mark the culmination of nearly a year of development, as the project was initially revealed in December 2024 under the name Pokemon Sunset. A demo for the ROM hack released this March and received plenty of buzz in the community, which isn't that surprising given Nemo622 previously developed the successful Pokemon ROM hack Emerald Seaglass.
