Status: Main Story Completion ➜ 75% (current beta concludes at the end of the Sixth Stratum)
Pokemon Odyssey is a GBA ROM Hack by PacoScarso based on Pokemon Fire Red in English. And it is now available to download. It was last updated on October 5, 2024.
Hello people! Long story short: this is a crossover project between Pokémon, Made in Abyss, and Etrian Odyssey. It’s a sort of dungeon-crawler story-driven, but you don’t need to know anything about Etrian Odyssey or Made in Abyss to fully enjoy this game!
Synopsis
On the island of Talrega lies the entrance to the Yggdrasil labyrinth, a gigantic desert carved from the roots of the tree of life over millennia; filled with treasures and other valuable items, it attracted explorers from everywhere.
What are you looking for? Fame? Money? Or do you just want to test your coaching skills by tackling the maze? Is there something deep down?
In this game, you’ll play as Nyx, a young adventurer who wants to challenge the labyrinth.
But as soon as she starts descending, something goes wrong…

A: Yes, they are! To use your old save file with a new version, just make sure that both the .gba file and the .sav file have the same name (for example, Odyssey.gba and Odyssey.sav) and are placed in the same folder. The emulator will do the rest and load your save file.

If you use this candy RIGHT BEFORE a Captain battle, your party level will be set to the current Level Cap-1 (in case you want to evolve your Pokémon via level-up). Let’s say you’re about to fight the first Captain (Level Cap = 18); your party will be set to Level 17;
If you use this candy BEFORE REACHING the Captain, your party level will be set to the previous Level Cap.

updated the post
It’s not
only the text at the top of the post hasn’t been changed from v2.0.3 to v2.5 the links had been updated.
Completed the 50 percent wanna know when the next part is coming out
Where can we report found bugs etc? I’ve found that defeating a F.O.E. has a 50/50 chance of freezing the game after the battle (I play on the ‘My Boy! Free’ emulator for Android for relevance) and today I found out Lairon doesn’t learn a new move at level 35. Other than that the game has been great and quite refreshing from the regular Pokémon style.
If you want to report something use our Discord Server.
Anyway, that bug happens because you’re playing on MyBoy, which is not a supported emulator, but of course when they reupload my game they forgot to add or look at the txt files in the game folder
Documents fail to open..
Stats, wild encounters etc
fixed the links
I can’t open the map or use the bag during a match, any idea?
Unfortunately you’re using a bad emulator. Use mGBA on pc and Lemuroid/Retroarch on mobile

Ok good job but now I got an invalid GBA file. Not sure what went wrong.
I just checked the file and it seems to be working fine. Please re-download the game. If that doesn’t fix it, try using mGBA (if you’re on pc) or RetroArch with mGBA core/Lemuroid (if you’re on android)
