A new Pokémon region based on the Emerald Isle? Sign me up! Pokémon Peach and Lime bring the Celto Region to our hands in this new ROM hack based on Pokémon Emerald, with new legendaries and Pokémon to discover.

The Celto region has all four seasons with some awesome weather effects, including leaves blowing across the screen during Autumn. There's a charming new story and original music to go with new fan-made critters, all packaged in a game that feels familiar yet exciting and fresh at the same time.

As the demos are based on Emerald, Peach and Lime provide a Gen 3 experience with a difference. You'll battle through Gyms and uncover a plot from Team Horizon to sabotage them. And the settings remind me of a mixture of Pokémon and Zelda games. There are some scenes that make me think I could be in Oracle of Seasons, though I wouldn't be surprised if the team behind it took inspiration from it!
