Pokémon fan games
Pokemon fan games are games built by fans of the Pokémon games. These games usually attempt to emulate the formula of the core series or specific spin-off games, though rarely they may use the Pokémon IP in other ways. Many fan games are ROM hacks of existing titles. However, an increasing number of standalone titles have been built from scratch using separate development tools and game engines instead. Note that fan games are usually considered distinct from bootlegs, which are unauthorised copies of published games sold to consumers as if they were official.

Pokémon Uranium
Pokémon Uranium was made using the RPG Maker XP engine and was released in 2016, after 9 years of development.[1][2][3] The game adds 166 original Pokémon alongside a new region, Tandor. Similar to the official games, Uranium contains both online trading and online battling.[4] In August 2016, after one and a half million downloads, the download links for the game were taken down from the official website because the developers wanted to "respect Nintendo's wishes", after learning other sites that offered the download received DMCA takedown notice letters from lawyers representing Nintendo.[5][6][7] The following month, the developers announced that they had officially ceased development of the title and shut down the website and servers.[8] Following the announcement, community members created a new website and continued to develop patches for the base game, including bug fixes and new features.[9]
