Are there any ROM hacks out there that have all Pokemon put Gen 9? I'm really itching to play something where I can "catch em all".

This sounds excellent.Radical Red has everything up to gen 9, but it's really hard, even if you play the lowest difficulty.
I'm not sure if there's any other rom hacks that go up to gen 9 yet.
Really cool hack landed recently - Fire Red/Leaf Green Geneneration 1 style
It's a complete (and completed) demake of FRLG down to Red and Blue. It's using the original music, tilesets, sprites, etc - but with the resolution of the GBA and FRLG's gameplay features. Multiplayer even seems to work with vanilla FRLG.
I have been looking for a place to start with Pokemon games that is true to the old school experience and also has some solid QoL updates and I think this might just be it. Up to now I was thinking I would just go with FRLG but was also kinda wanting that original Game Boy feel so … yeah.
I like all of that except the sprites and battle screen. Why not go with Yellow's?
The author has said he's releasing the first update in 5 years this yearI totally recommend Pokemon Gaia. It's very good at replicating the feel of an official Pokemon game, including an easy difficulty curve.
99% of hacks should work on original hardwareVery cool thread idea.
Might I suggest that you include a pair of tags for hacks that can run on original hardware versus those that require emulation (or are PC-only, if that's a thing?)
Sacred Gold / Storm Silver is a must play.My SteamDeck is arriving tomorrow and I have a HANKERIN' to play HGSS again (haven't played the game for a decade at this point). What mods are worth checking out?
If you're looking for essentially enhanced editions of HGSS, I'd recommend: Refined Gold. Essentially makes most Pokemon available without trade, Wi-Fi events have been integrated into the main game, and a bunch of other QoL features. There's also the overhaul, but there's more substantial changes made, like breaking the linearity of areas in the original game.My SteamDeck is arriving tomorrow and I have a HANKERIN' to play HGSS again (haven't played the game for a decade at this point).

Looking thru this thread and im kinda shocked Crystal Legacy isnt here. It's basically crystal but with jotho mons in jotho,some move changes (cut is bug type) and a reworked level curve along with level differences for the three gyms after Morty depending on the order you do them in. Pretty fun game and i highly reccomend it. Right now the guy and his team are working on a Pokemon Yellow Romhack that fixed a lot of that game as well.

OP has been updated. The majority of games have has a Media section added. They either have screenshots or a video to a review or trailer.
More projects were added:
Pokemon Pinball Generations
Pokemon Crystal Legacy
------
I also wanted to highlight some projects that are in-progress that look incredible:
Pokemon Legends Arise - Trinity Aenigma
An in-progress hack of Pokemon Platinum with Generation V graphics. Taking place in an alternate Sinnoh, where you impersonate the protagonists of D/P/PT, set to investigate happenings in Sinnoh. Some of the features are really cool, the creator is also a composer, so a lot of new music is being made for the game.
Pokemon Odyssey
An in-progress hack of Pokemon Fire Red. Based off of the Etrian Odyssey series, there's no Gym challenge. Instead it's focused on it's core plot, exploring new Stratums, naval exploration and side questing. It also introduces new forms for Pokemon, the Etrian types.
Thank's for letting me know! Went ahead and resolved thatPokémon Odyssey looks incredible. I absolutely am keeping an eye on that.
FYI, the original post has a bug, some of the games are hidden in spoilers for other games.
Vega has really cool Fakemon, but it is absurdly hard. You legit have like four catchable Pokemon before the first gym and that shit has rollout and leftovers on one of her Pokemon. Luckily, an easy version was made for people who suck at the game.Vega (Although I played this nearly 8 years ago, so unsure how it holds up. I remember it being HARD though)
Clover (Be wary, it was created by guys from 4chan, and all that entails....It's still a solid game though)
I can't speak for Theta Emerald, but Inclement Emerald has the PSS and QoL improvements and it still follows the normal Emerald plot. It's a difficulty hack, but it's a fair one IMO, as somebody that bounced off of Radical Red twice due to its difficulty.Has anyone played Theta Emerald Ex?
I'm in the mood to replay Emerald, but with the physical/special split and some of the other modern QoL improvements. I'm fine with there being extra Pokemon included and maybe some increased difficulty, but ideally it would be pretty faithful otherwise.
Altered Emerald is listed in the OP, but it lists features such as redesigned routes, story changes and some Pokemon have had their typings changed. Blergh. It seems Theta Emerald would be the purer experience?
Oh shit, missed this response, but this sounds like the one I've been looking for. Cheers!I can't speak for Theta Emerald, but Inclement Emerald has the PSS and QoL improvements and it still follows the normal Emerald plot.

- 100 new Pokemon, including post-Gen 1 evolutions (such as Kingdra and Rhyperior), Pokemon found in prototype assets (such as Gorochu and Kotora, as well as several cut evolutions from the Spaceworld 1997 demo), regional variants of Kanto Pokemon, convergent evolutions and Paradox relatives of Kanto Pokemon (the Wiglett and Toedscool lines, Scream Tail and Sandy Shocks) and even Meltan and Melmetal!
- Dark, Steel and Fairy types for the new Pokemon! Pokemon such as Clefable are still pure Normal type. The type chart for Dark and Steel matches the Spaceworld 1997 demo, and as a result is much different.
- Some select new moves have been added for the new types, along with two moves from Red and Green's prototype.
- New items, including a new fossil, new evolution items, Bottle Caps and more!
- Several new locations, some just for worldbuilding, others to add new content around the game, especially after beating the Champion!
- New music tracks for several parts of the game, such as for battling Legendaries, Team Rocket, and a handful of restored prototype tracks. A playlist of a handful of them can be found here, all composed by LuciShrimp.
- A few areas have been improved, some looking nicer, having extra content or being easier to navigate.
- MANY QoL enhancements, like having a feminine character option, no version exclusivity, being able to hold more items, additional PC boxes, a better Exp. All, Gym Leader and Elite Four rematches, and so much more!
- A handful of bug fixes and translation errors, mainly to do with the overworld or with trainer AI. Bugs within the battle system itself (like Focus Energy reducing crit rate) are preserved to keep the feel that Gen 1 had.
Is there a straight up ROM version of Ruby/Sapphire that provides all the Pokémon from both those games and from Red/Blue/Yellow and Silver/Gold?
If you want something that is as vanilla as possible, minimal amount of changes at all, try Pokemon Emerald Complete National Dex Edition and use the Light Patch.Is there a straight up ROM version of Ruby/Sapphire that provides all the Pokémon from both those games and from Red/Blue/Yellow and Silver/Gold?
Thank you! Complete novice, how do you patch the games if you're using the Delta iOS app?
Online patcher. If it spits out a .txt file, just change it to .gbaThank you! Complete novice, how do you patch the games if you're using the Delta iOS app?

Yeah, sadly this is a hard one. Most 251 rom hacks hide the Johto Pokemon behind post game, pretty much just in the Sevii Islands. The others I can think of are 386, so Hoenn Dex Pokemon would be scattered around Kanto.Any FR/LG hack rom allows you to start in Kanto while having Johto mons from the get go? thats my dream game
