PROGRESS: Project (Suloku Patch 2026) - 22/02/2026 - This is a fully completed GBA ROM hack. The entire Orange Archipelago saga, including the Orange League, the Movie 2000 event, and all sidequests, is finished and playable from start to finish. The developer continues to provide maintenance updates and bug fixes for the community.

It is the definitive, award-winning recreation of the iconic Orange Archipelago saga from the Pokémon anime. Set one year after Red’s victory in the Indigo League, you step into the shoes of a young trainer from Valencia Island on a mission to deliver the mysterious GS Ball to Samson Oak. This complete GBA experience reimagines the second season of the anime, challenging you to conquer the four unique Gyms of the Orange Crew, uncover the events of the "Movie 2000" on Shamouti Island, and engage in a journey that perfectly balances classic Kanto-era nostalgia with modernized mechanics. Whether you're hunting for the legendary Crystal Onix or unraveling local folklore, this is the ultimate tribute to Ash’s island-hopping adventure.
