Digimon Trials ROM

Digimon Trials is a heartfelt love letter to the Digimon franchise, built on the engine of Pokémon Emerald. This isn’t just a simple sprite swap; it is a comprehensive overhaul that transforms the Hoenn region into a new experience for digital monster fans. The game aims to make Digimon that are usually locked behind gacha games or trading cards playable in a classic RPG format.

With a roster of around 500 Digimon, a revamped type chart, and complex evolution mechanics like Jogress and Mode Changes, this hack blends Pokémon nostalgia with the depth of the Digital World. Can you overcome the increased difficulty and beat the Trial of the Four Great Dragons?

V8.5.2

• Craniummon + Enbarrmon fixed
• Route 120 bridge fixed
• Oldale water spawn fixed
• More Gaossmon spawns, now on Route 101 and in
• Mauville with a 10% chance of appearing.
• There are 4 secret Digimon, 1 being stage 5 and the others are stage 4. All of them are acquired using evolution items. Each player can acquire the benefit ONCE, so no matter how many Digimon you post screenshots of, you will only be able to choose the shiny color of ONE Digimon. If the chosen Digimon already has a shiny color, you can choose another. The first 3 players to show Digimon A win, then the first 3 players to show Digimon B win, and so on…

V8.5

• Holy Type Buff: To improve the Holy type, some resistances have been removed, so now only other Holy Type Digimon and Fairy Type Digimon have resistance to Holy attacks.
• Return of trading and PVP: I’ve put back the stairs to the second floor of the centers, so you can trade and battle. But don’t ask me to balance it for PVP, otherwise I’ll remove those stairs again.
• Contest Hall problem solved
• Drastic map changes: There’s a new area near Mauville, some Crest Guardians have moved slightly, there are new decorations, new dialogues, easier access to the PC, more Digimon spawns, even in some starting cities, and part of the sea has been reclaimed. LESS WATER!
• New items: The Star Sword is only for evolving Shoutmon X3 to X4, the Black Digitron currently only evolves Imperialdramon into Imperialdramon Black, and there’s the Perma Jogress. This item works like an evolution Data, but to transform your Digimon into its fused form. It works on both Digimon involved in the fusion, doesn’t count towards the Jogress limit, but it’s PERMANENT and the item is rare and quite expensive. In the case of Banchou Leomon, which can evolve into Chaosmon and Chaosmon Valdur Arm, the Perma Jogress will transform it into the Chaosmon from the Darkdramon fusion.
