These hacks, such as Pokémon Red 151, Pokémon Emerald 386 and Pokémon BlazeBlack/VoltWhite are designed to make available all Pokémon, items and locations within the game, including [[event Pokémon]], [[version-exclusive Pokémon]], Pokémon only obtainable through [[trade|trading]]/migrating, Event Locations and Event Items.
