Pokémon Modern Emerald

Overview

Simply put, “Pokémon Modern Emerald” is a modernization of the original “Pokémon Emerald” game. This game contains all of the QOL features and enhancements I’ve desired since first playing the original game in 2005. Consider this a 2.0 update to the original game. This is not a “difficulty hack-rom” and will never be. There are already a lot of good ROM hacks available if you want a super difficult version of Pokémon Emerald. The idea behind this game is to play it instead of the original “Pokémon Emerald,”, especially for those who want a vanilla experience with more features such as simple difficulty modes, move splits, QOL features, new Pokémon, new areas, new rematches, and an extensive list of others. This hack is a “3rd generation hack,” which means that it does not attempt to mimic later generations, and while some features and improvements from later generations are included, this hack is fundamentally a 3rd generation game. Don’t expect to be able to catch 900 different Pokémon or learn all the new moves from later generations. This hack does not include the “Battle Engine Upgrade” or anything similar, but it does include some of its mechanics (such as the OPTIONAL Physical / Special split that occurred in Generation IV, or the Fairy Type). There are 423 Pokémon in total, with two from Generation 8 and three from Generation 9. At the start of the game, the Challenges screen allows you to choose between two modes. If you don’t touch anything, the spawns will be the same as in the original Emerald, minus the version exclusives. All 423 will be available if “Modern Spawns” is enabled. The game also includes Day/Night spawns for both modes (though the difference is minimal without Modern Spawns and is mostly a rate change for certain species). WONDER-TRADES are also available to help you complete your national Pokédex (except for legendaries, all Pokémon are available for Wonder-Trade, and you are limited to 3 Wonder-Trades per day). The hack has all of its features and will only be updated with bug fixes, if any. HOWEVER, the 1.3 update has been released as a result of the encouragement and suggestions from the community. As a result, I’m always open to new ideas. The game has been thoroughly tested again, and the majority of the bugs have been eliminated. The source code is available on Github, and bugs can be reported there or in this thread. The game is playable on any emulator (tested on: MGBA, DSTwo GBA emulator) as well as on real hardware (tested on: EZ Flash Omega). Let’s call this my “dream emerald” version, but it’s now even better!
