Pokemon World Silver is a mod of Warcraft 3 that uses assets from various Pokémon games and takes inspiration from them. Many mechanics from the Pokémon universe are recreated for use in an RTS engine. Players can build a team of 3 different Pokémon with types accurate to the games, potentially releasing members of their squad as they find rarer ones throughout the game. For a player selected period of 20-50 minutes, players engage in the world while attempting to make their Pokémon as strong as possible as they defeat as many mobs of enemy Pokémon as possible. In this way, they attain resources to power them up, and acquire valuable items to summon more powerful Pokémon and counter what other players have made. At the end of the game, players use their own created Pokémon in a final tournament against one another.

Pokémon World is my attempt to exercise my game design chops to create something more widely accessible after spending an extensive amount of time on my Full Metal Alchemist project. It has managed to attract considerable attention considering Warcraft 3's age. Multiple games are hosted each day by various fans of the game. The map was loosely based on a much older map called Pokémon World Red that had not been updated in years, but was recreated from scratch.
