Pokemon Conversion Emerald ROM

• NEW TYPES: Many redundant or oddball Pokemon have been given new secondary types to better fit their movepools or the team niche that they try to fill. Fairy type is also implemented.
• REBALANCED BASE STATS: Most of the Pokemon in the game have been given increased base stats to better show off their strengths, mostly based on their previous placements on the tier list.
• MORE ACCESSIBLE ITEMS: Prices are reduced, and important items are easier to come by.
• ALL 386 POKEMON CATCHABLE (75% done): the goal is to have 6 Pokemon catchable in each area, to increase variety and teambuilding choices.
• TYPE VARIETY: Redundant types are diversified. No more rat/bird/fishpocalypsemon. Many humanoid Pokemon have been changed into Fairy types rather than animal-based Normal-type. Less pseudodragon and more Dragon types.
• QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES: Reusable TMs, Rewriteable HMs, shorter annoying texts, clearer, and concise descriptions.
• TYPE REBALANCING: Ice-type resists Normal and Flying attacks. Fairy type is weak to Bug attacks.
• IMPROVED BREEDING: Any two Pokemon can breed, like in many other monster games. Egg hatch times halved.
• Shiny Pokemon: Shiny rate is 0.5% (one in 200), making them uncommon instead of impossible to find during a casual playthrough. Many Pokemon have new shiny colors.
• Special Evolution: Pokemon who have a trade or other special evolution methods can now also evolve through friendship.
• Catch Rates: Pokemon have a flat 10% added to their catch rates. A similar feel helps with sableye and legendary PTSD.
• Surfing/Fishing: Surf encounter rates reduced. Fishing now finds non-Magikarp and 1 new Pokemon for each rod tier.
• Day/Night System: Caves also use natural illumination to make your nature hike and evolutions more memorable.
• System Time: The Gamecube at your house can be used freely to change the system time.
• HM sanity: Pokemon with wings can use Fly, pokemon with claws can use Cut, etc.
• Egg Move sanity: Many pokemon have improved learnsets with important moves such as Will-o-Wisp, Dragon Dance, Heal Bell, and Baton Pass.
• Run anywhere: Able to use running shoes indoors.

Known Bugs

• Some Pokedex entries are missing, seems to be a vanilla emerald bug? This will get filled in for the release version.
• Old legendaries and sea caves, safari zone, victory road not yet finished.
• Brandon rides a missingno in the intro (compressed graphics corruption). Not sure how to fix this.
• Ocean Route 124 (Relic Reef) is filled with Pupitar (L1-50). Not sure how to fix this, seems to be a bug caused by the map editor.
• The important features should have NPCs or signs to explain them in the release version.
• Some attack descriptions don’t fit (bad linebreaks) due to the rushed nature.
