Best Answer

A game ROM is essentially the program that is run on a console game. The program itself can't be changed, whether it is on a DVD or a game cartridge. The term "game ROM" usually refers to the game cartridges used in classic consoles such as Atari and Nintendo NES. Some of the games have been converted for use in a PC by using an emulator, a computer program that makes the game program think its being run by the game console.

Do you need a Pokemon rom to make a Pokemon game?

No you don't, I helped my friend create the game Pokemon shiny gold while i was in Mexico with out a ROM but to copy a game you make sure you go to a safe website to get the ROM, the ROM ins't a CD but you can burn it onto one. YOu will need several things like an ips file and all that fun stuff i am constantly posting more Pokemon games without the use of a ROM but you can use one to copy or make it. Hint copy a game don't make one.
