Because it is built in RPG Maker, the game does not run at 60 FPS like a GBA ROM hack. The movement can feel a bit "griddy," and there is occasional lag in the larger cities.

If you have played through Pokémon Scarlet & Violet twice, shiny hunted everything in Legends: Arceus , and are still craving a truly fresh adventure, the fan game community has a gift for you. But you’ll hear it referred to by two names: Pokémon Xenoverse and the Pokémon Xenoverse ROM .

However, if you can look past the technical limitations, Pokémon Xenoverse offers the most creative and lengthy original story in the fan game sphere. It doesn't feel like Kanto with a new coat of paint; it feels like a lost Generation 8.5 game.
