Explorers of Memories is a romhack where the protagonist never lost their memories, and this effects the story in many ways causing events to never happen or making events happen earlier than they should.However, this is not a retelling of the original story, instead it is a brand-new story with elements of the original.
Chapters 1-9 are currently completed as of this demo.
This patch is for US versions of the game and works with Xenophobia and Clean roms.

a rom hack dedicated to making the game much more difficult

by Argonien.

A Rom Hack in which the protagonists end up between the fronts of a war of continents.

A complete ROM hack with an original story! It was mostly made to try out SkyTemple, so it's very short (~5 minutes).

This is a story of a human turned Pokemon found on the beach by a team. While that team is out of town helping him get back to his world, the human stays back in town and another Pokemon begins to see the human as someone they can bond with.

Demo is roughly 15 minutes with no dungeons. Final version will have some dungeons. The story and events in this demo will likely change over the course of development.

A ton QoL features and mechanics are to be expected in this hack such as improved movesets, updated and Gen V+ moves, more generous stat curves, new TMs, and more diverse enemies in dungeon.
You can also expect mechanics such as GtI Exp. Share (by Irdkwia), Move Shortcuts (by End45) and Complete Team Control (by Cipnit/Jirt).
1.3 is gonna contain even more features like challenge modes, boss field effects, level scaling, toggleable difficulty modes, Fairy-type and new moves.
The aim of this hack is first to be as inclusive as it can be, but also to offer the player a different and enjoyable experience of Explorers of Sky with new quests and more !

This is a short hack done for the SkyTemple Jam in May 2021. Despite constraints within our team, I was able to cobble together something from our planning, thus we present this brief little story sequence with a 9-floor dungeon. This is the opening to a tale of a group of dungeoneers, heading on their way for a visit to the doctor for Alger, the player character.

A Special Episode-esque hack, starring the sinister Darkrai.

Adventure after adventure with some friends our main character feels the need to take a break.
Though it's no ordinary break. Needing to clear their minds they enter a dungeon.
But there's a foreboding aura all the way down to the bottom. What really happened down there?

Translation of the game (without any major changes) to Brazilian Portuguese.

What happens when you make a rom hack editor for PMD public?
Hell. Also a lot of shitposts.

Demo includes Chapters 1-3, higher difficulty as well.
Roughly 1 hour of content. Biggest issue is the textbox (you'll know when you see it), however that is easily fixed by exiting the game and returning to a save.
Naming the partner currently does not work either, apologies.
Everything else should hopefully satisfy you, however!

A "balance" rom hack of Explorers of Sky! But in all seriousness, Explorers of Kaizo is Explorers of Sky but with many things added to be the hardest, it can possibly be. Expect a lot of updates to be added as the game still isn't complete and I'm still not good at balancing difficulty.

Explorers of the Azure Sky is an enhancement hack of Explorers of Sky in the same vein as ones of the main series like Drayano's Renegade Platinum, featuring:

A new take on the story of Explorers of Sky, staying faithful to the original while also featuring a far more active player role, as well as an attempt at interconnecting the PMD world.
- New movesets for every Pokémon. Some have had their abilities or typings changed. Some have had their IQ groups changed as well.
- Eevee has replaced Phanpy as a male player option, and Growlithe has replaced it as a partner. Sorry Phanpy fans!
- A Friend Bow is given to you at the beginning of the game with the other two items you get, in order to help recruitment!
- Liked the L + A/B/X/Y move system from later games? Don't want unnecessary tutorials shoved in your face? Want to have a partner of the same type as you? You can, with the patches made by End45!
- Want to control your teammates in the middle of battle? Now you can, by pressing Select, with the Complete Team Control patch by Cipnit!
- The Fairy type has been added, along with Fairy gummies, thanks to Irdkwia! The gummies have been added to the dungeon and Kecleon Shop item pools, as well as job rewards.
- As such, the Fairy type has been given to Pokémon from Generation 6 onwards that have become Fairy type, as well as to plenty of new Pokémon that didn't have it before!
- Fairy type moves have been added as well, with custom animations. These include Moonblast, Play Rough, Dazzling Gleam, and more!
- The experience share system from Gates to Infinity and later, once again thanks to Irdkwia!
- New Pokémon, including Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, Victini, Snivy and its evolutions, and more coming soon.

CURRENT STORY PROGRESS: Chapter 10: Dusknoir -COMPLETE - *DEMO AVAILABLE*
Work on Chapter 11 has begun.

As this is very much a personal project of mine, I haven't made any plans to make a ProjectPokemon post or anything similar as of yet. Maybe as the hack evolves, but for now, if you're interested in following my progress, I'll likely be posting it in the SkyTemple Discord as it happens. Keep an eye out! Feel free to ask me any questions there too.

Also, check out my Twitter @TheMajesticMrL, I might wind up posting there too!
