About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Allworld is a ROM hack based on Pokémon Crystal that expands the traditional Pokémon experience by incorporating regions from all the main series games. The story begins in Pallet Town, where you start with a Pikachu as your starter, similar to Pokémon Yellow. However, this hack introduces many changes to the timeline, regions, and gym leaders.
- The hack follows a modified version of Pokémon Yellow's story but also adds the ability to explore regions from other generations, including Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
- The hack takes place in an alternate timeline, with Johto occurring three years before the events of Gold/Silver/Crystal, making some characters and events differ from the original games.
- The Johto gyms also have some modifications. For example, Falkner's father replaces him as the first gym leader, and Kurt becomes the second gym leader. Additionally, Jasmine uses Ampharos instead of Steelix, as Steel types had not yet been researched in the timeline of this hack.
- The Elite Four is located in Silver Mountain, where Ash is said to be in the original Gold/Silver storyline. The mountain is presented as a dangerous area to traverse.
- After completing Johto, players are meant to journey to Hoenn, although this area is not yet available in the current version.
