This is a story of a human turned Pokémon 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 Pokémon 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.
After a long hiatus, as of September 2023, Distant Connection is now back in development with a fully revamped and redone script, and the demo is now vastly different from what the final product will be, though will keep it up until this hack is released.

With so many amazing ROM Hacks and only 9 awards, sadly not everyone can win. Here are the other submitted ROM Hacks, which are also all really good but didn't quite get one of the awards. For some of them it was REALLY close, so don't be discouraged by not getting an award. The competition was really tough!
This one-shot story sees Team Fire Spark continue their adventures with their new recruit Manaphy. But what seems like a routine mission quickly turns into the beginning of a mystery as they find four Pokémon who never should have existed.
Contains one dungeon with 15 floors and runs for roughly 25-40 minutes.
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.

What happens when the symbol of defeat makes a team with a wimpy snow-type and a grumpy fighter? Perhaps not even the future may tell!
