How did it start? The idea for Countryball as a Pokémon hack started circa 2017, when /flag/ members from /int/ stumbled upon a gif of Canadian maple leaf evolving into the flag of Norfolk island. It took a few months until they decided it would be fun to make another ROM hack, similar to /vp/s' critically-acclaimed Pokémon Clover, with /flag/s' being centered around flag-related memes. Since then, the project has grown in size and scope, with many people from other internet communities helping and contributing. So what is it about, anyways? Set in the region of Terra, the player will set out on a quest to defeat the eight Flagmasters of the region and advance to the Flag League! But be wary, a regime of the past grows stronger every day... Features: ☭ Hundreds of custom-drawn pixel art Countryballs! ☭ A whole new region to explore based on real-world geography (Consider it a, "World Tour" of sorts!) ☭ New music! ☭ A dex of 300~ new Countryballs!
