Pokemon Verklempt Emerald ROM

Features

General Changes

• The Type Chart is rebalanced!
• The Steel and Fairy types are no longer overpowered! The Ground Type is no more! The Bug and Grass types are no longer worthless!
• Ice, Fairy, and Ghost Pokemon do not take Hail damage. Ice and Fairy Pokemon gain 1.5x Defense and Special Defense in the Snow!
• Rock, Steel, and Ghost Pokemon do not take Sandstorm damage. Rock Pokemon gain 1.5x Defense and Special Defense in Sandstorms!
• Grass, Water, and Electric Pokemon gain 1.2x Defense and Special Defense in Rain!
• Grass, Fire, and Dragon Pokemon gain 1.2x Defense and Special Defense in Sun!
• Grass Pokemon who lack the Steel type recover 1/16th of their HP at the end of each turn in the Rain and Sun!
• Level 50 is the maximum level of all Pokemon, and the maximum level any Pokemon can Evolve or learn moves at.
• Stat Calculation and Move Damage calculation will treat all Pokemon as Level 50 while ignoring EVs, IVs, and Nature.
• All battles are Double Battles! If a Pokemon Trainer only had one Pokemon, it was duplicated so the Double Battle can happen! 100% Wild Pokemon Double Battle chance!
• You obtain the National Dex upgrade for free at the start of the game, unlocking many rare and powerful Pokemon in the wild, and when you’d ordinarily earn the National Dex in a normal Pokemon Emerald rom, you gain the Mega Ring instead.
• Stronger enemy Trainers! Every Gym Leader and Elite Four member gets one Legendary Pokemon! Some foes have access to Mega Evolution, and you don’t! Not until you get the Mega Ring as a reward when you’d normally earn the National Dex.
• A move with a non-zero chance to activate its secondary or additional effect is now guaranteed to trigger if the move is a Super-Effective move that matches the type of its user, or the Rainbow status is up. If this works inconsistently, let me know.
• Ghost-Types are immune to Freeze/Frostbite, Paralysis, and Poisoning.
• Rock-Types are immune to Freeze/Frostbite, Paralysis, Burning, and Poisoning.
• The PP Up and PP Max do nothing. In this setting they’re overpriced placebos. Feel free to sell them if you ever find any.
• Paralysis quarters your speed, reducing it to 25%, but cannot cause your moves to randomly fail.
• Infatuation has a 25% chance to make your moves fail.

Quality Of Life

• Instant text speed.
• Hold A+B to auto-skip text!
• Badge-Based Minimum Level Boost – Your Pokemon below your Minimum Level will be raised to your Minimum Level, which starts at 5, and is raised to the following stages for each Gym Badge you obtain: 16, 18, 24, 28, 32, 38, 42, 50.
• On your Bike, hit R to shift gears between Mach Gear and Acro Gear. You cannot change your Gear while moving.
• Faster battle text. No mandatory pauses for anything except sound effects (Because skipping those pauses crashes the game).
• You can forget and replace HM moves.
• Trainer Pokemon grant 4x their usual EXP, not 1.5x. Friendship gain rate was raised, and a Massage will Maximise Friendship.
• Birch’s intro speech at the start of the game was shortened.
• Mom doesn’t force you to visit your Rival before you can save Birch.
• After saving Birch and nicknaming your Starter, you get an Eevee and a Bike.
• Evolution Levels multiplied by 0.75x, minimum 2. If a Pokemon evolved via Trade, Beauty, or Trading with an Item, it evolves via Level now.
• All Pokemon obey orders.
• Mach Bike reduces Wild Pokemon encounter rate, Acro Bike does not.
• Pokeball price reduction across the board.
• Birch gives you many PokeBalls, GreatBalls, and UltraBalls at the start of the game.
• Lava Cookies can be purchased at the Lavaridge Town Herb Shop.
• The Master Ball, Eon Ticket, Mystic Ticket, Aurora Ticket, Old Sea Map, and Revival Herb can be purchased at the Ever Grande PokeMart.
• Master Balls can be purchased at Ever Grande City for 50,000 Pokedollars.
• Safari Balls always successfully capture their targets, like a Master Ball.
• Faster learning. No “1… 2… and… poof!” text or repetitive prompts or “Are you sure?” prompts when replacing a move or deciding not to learn a move. You want to learn a move but you already know one, replace one? Yes? Then open the window and don’t waste my time when picking one. No? Then move on, no need to tell me a move wasn’t learned. And when I boot up a TM or HM, I don’t need to be told I booted up a TM or HM.
• Faster levelling. Stat display boxes are skipped when levelling up. Level up messages for Pokemon not sent out are skipped. The EXP_Share is always active.

Ability Changes

• Solid Guard has replaced No Guard, and multiplies the damage Super Effective attacks deal to you by 0.75x.
• Poison Touch has replaced Poison Point, and checks its chance to trigger on contact regardless of who initiated contact.
• Serene Grace multiplies the damage non-Super Effective attacks deal to you by 0.75x. Serene Grace does not increase the chance of a move’s additional effect activating, as a move with a non-zero chance to activate its secondary effect is now guaranteed to trigger if the move is a Super-Effective move that matches the type of its user. Mostlys.
• Sand Veil and Snow Cloak half damage taken while in Sandstorm or Hail/Snow respectively.
• Hustle boosts your Physical moves by 1.2x. Does not affect accuracy, as all moves have perfect accuracy.
• Compoundeyes boosts your Special move damage by 1.5x.
• Pickpocket replaces Magician and Pickup, inheriting their effects. Pickpocket triggers on contact regardless of whether who initiated the contact. Pokemon with Pickpocket may find items outside of battle. If the Pokemon was not already holding an item, at the end of the turn it will pick up an item that was consumed by another Pokémon.
• Klutz prevents your Held Item from activating, and when contact is made with a target who lacks the Ability Sticky Hold, your Held Item is given to the target. If the target already had a held item, that item is overwritten with the Klutz’s held item.
• Sticky Hold now grants an immunity to Klutz’s item-replacing effect.
