What is Pokemon Dark Rising?[]
Pokemon Dark Rising is a fan made Pokemon game created by DarkRisingGirl and her team back in 2012 using Pokemon Firered as it's base. The game has steadily become a series and added more games such as:
Pokemon Dark Rising 2[]
A direct sequel to the first game continuing the story
Pokemon Dark Rising: Order Destroyed[]
A sequel to the second game released to bridge the events of the second game to the upcoming third installment of Pokemon Dark Rising. This plot contains many secrets not known before hand nor revealed in the first or second games! It is a must to play though in order to understand the story of Pokemon Dark Rising 3 however.
Pokemon Dark Rising Origins: Worlds Collide[]
A game with more in depth lore about the events happening between the second and third games and is meant to be a sequel to Order Destroyed. An aspect of this game that has received mixed reviews is the fact that Pokemon are no longer the only creatures you can capture! Digimon also make an appearance and you can catch and battle with them in the same manner as you would Pokemon! So if your a fan of both Pokemon and Digimon, then give this title a try!
Pokemon Dark Rising: Kaizo[]
While being a remake of the first Dark Rising game, Pokemon Dark Rising Kaizo still manages to be it's own game with several plot changes as well as new events. The difficulty curve is heightened even more making it more difficult then the first game.
