Pokemon Crossroads ROM

Pokemon Crossroads is a ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald developed by the Crossroads Dev Team. It combines the regions of Hoenn, Kanto, and (in development) Johto into one seamless, epic adventure — the kind of ultimate Game Boy Advance experience Game Freak might have created if they had merged these regions back in the day.

What if Game Freak had built the ultimate Game Boy Advance Pokémon adventure?

Pokémon Crossroads lets you step into the shoes of a young trainer journeying across not just Hoenn, but also Kanto and (coming soon) Johto, all connected seamlessly into one grand storyline. Built on the powerful pokeemerald-expansion engine, we’ve integrated systems to bring these worlds to life authentically.

Features

• You get both full stories in one save file: stop Team Aqua/Magma in Hoenn one day, then head over to Kanto to fight Team Rocket the next.
• 16 gym badges total: 8 from Hoenn + 8 from Kanto.
• You choose how you want to start. One version begins in Littleroot Town, the other drops you straight into Pallet Town area.
• Travel between the regions is super simple: just go to the Pokémon Center in Oldale Town or Viridian City and you’re there.
• Everything still feels like a real 2005 GBA game. No weird modern overlays or anything.

Completed core systems

• Region switching: Seamless transitions between Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto with proper flag handling.
• Map integration: All major Kanto overworlds ported and functional with FireRed layouts and palettes.
• Multi-region minimaps: Each region displays its own map in the AreaNav with correct location names.
• Updated Fly system: Respects your current region and available landing points without cross-region bugs.

• Trainer Card: Kanto badges do not currently appear on your Trainer ID card.
• Regional Travel: Travel between Kanto and Hoenn via the Pokémon Centers in Viridian City or Oldale Town.
• Save Compatibility: Existing Pokémon Emerald save files are not compatible due to expanded memory allocation. Old saves are unlikely to ever work.
• Some specific items ported from FireRed are currently non-functional.
