===Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White===
Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White Versions are hacks of {{game|Black and White|s}} made by Drayano, first released in late March 2011. The concept of the games is generally the same, with no changes to the story or mechanics. The main changes made by these games is that it is possible to obtain all 649 Pokémon in the National Pokédex without connecting to another game. All the legendaries that do not appear normally in the original now have a small chance of appearing in certain locations (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} has a 1% chance of showing up on the bottom level of [[Chargestone Cave]]). In addition, many evolution methods were changed, mainly ones that involved trading as a requirement (the [[Magmarizer]] and [[Electirizer]] are now usable items that evolve {{p|Magmar}} and {{p|Electabuzz}} respectively, in the same manner [[Evolutionary stone|Evolutionary Stones]] do). The hacks also implement a level curve to make the game more challenging, and certain Pokémon have had minor type, learnset, and ability changes to fit the increased difficulty ({{p|Serperior}} was given the Dragon type in addition to its normal Grass type). Most Pokémon, upon being obtained, have a chance of having their Dream World abilities. Finally, some moves have undergone type, power, and accuracy changes, again to fit the increased difficulty.
In October 2012, Drayano continued his project into the sequel, making Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2. The overall concept of the game stays the same, with a few minor improvements. Rather than the normally unobtainable legendaries appearing in the wild, they now appear as interactive encounters after meeting certain requirements (for example, {{p|Zapdos}} now appears outside the entrance to Chargestone Cave after speaking to a male [[Veteran (Trainer class)|Veteran]] inside [[Humilau City]]'s Pokémon Center). These games also take advantage of the [[Key System]] by giving the player the Easy Mode and Challenge Mode keys before even choosing a starter Pokémon, so the whole game can be played in Challenge or Easy Mode from the start, no matter which version is being played. Also, the player is given both the Iceberg Key and the Iron Key immediately after defeating {{p|Regirock}}.

Pokémon 4-in-1 is a pirated NES game which included four mini-games, "PicaClick", "PicaSlot", "PicaDance" (called 'PiraDance' in game) and Pac-man. "Pika" is notably misspelled. PicaClick is a [[wp:Collapse (video game)|Collapse]] clone featuring {{p|Pikachu}}. {{wp|Pac-man}} was replaced with a Pikachu face and the ghosts with {{p|Vileplume}}. PicaSlot is a slot machine mini-game including Pikachu, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, (7), and apple (with worm) icons.  PiraDance involves the player stopping Marill and {{p|Cleffa}} on spinning Poké Balls, to the beat of one of three songs, "butterfly", "Babylon" or "sunrise". It used the animated sprite of the title screen Pikachu from {{game|Yellow}} in the background.
