'''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', also known as '''fan games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as eBay. | '''ROM hacks''', or '''hack ROMs''', also known as '''fan games''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered.

Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones. It should also be noted that all current Chinese language Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games. | Due to their nature, there are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet, so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones.
