Pokemon Tarragon

Pokemon Tarragon is a Pokémon FireRed ROM hack that takes you beyond the familiar Kanto region with a completely original adventure. Instead of following the classic FireRed storyline, you begin your journey after graduating from Sorell University. Your hometown Professor offers you a research position, and your first assignment soon develops into a larger mystery involving your cousin and the newly discovered Tarragon Region.

🌎 Discover the Tarragon Region

The entire adventure takes place in the original Tarragon Region. Instead of revisiting Kanto, you travel through newly designed towns, routes, and locations created specifically for this project. Your adventure begins in:

• Pine Glen
• Sorell University
• New towns unique to Tarragon
• Custom routes and outdoor areas

Every location has been designed for this ROM hack rather than copied from previous Pokémon games.

📖 An Original Story Begins

Pokemon Tarragon starts with a different type of Pokémon journey. After graduating from Sorell University, you return home expecting a normal life. Your hometown Professor soon offers you an opportunity to help complete the regional Pokédex.

As your research continues, strange events begin to surround your cousin, who has already been working with the Professor. This mystery becomes an important part of the early storyline. The current Alpha version includes gameplay through the first Gym.
