Pokemon E'merald ROM

Pokemon E’merald is a GBA Rom Hack by orioniszeta based on Pokemon Emerald in English. It was last updated on December 14, 2023.

Story

You follow Orion on a very mild psychological journey to find answers to something or someone he has forgotten. Originally inspired by PT, the game primarily features the ever-famous breeding route from Verdanturf Town, Route 117, Mauville City, and Route 118, several times.
Collect keys to open up exits from “Isolation” to progress.

There are several “left and right” doors by choosing the left doors you will enter isolation and try to find the next exit to progress, the right door is a shortcut for moving quickly through these sections as only the first set of ‘door’ choices (the one with absol in the room) has story elements in this version.

Features

• The original Pokémon emerald gyms (all 8) and contests are available
• Unique story elements
• All 385 Pokemon are obtainable plus 5 “glitch Pokemon”.
• Strength, rocksmash, cut, and dive are no longer necessary for progression.
• Rocksmash has been buffed.
• Orion’s favorite Pokemon have been buffed.
• Various QOL mods have been added (details in credits)

Known Bugs

• Some post-game elements may not work as intended
• Event triggers may not clear correctly (sootopolis city may act as if Kyogre and Groudon are there but the gym and all other entrances are still accessible)
• The ship’s are not currently accessible by normal means, if you go to an event island through other parts of the game you can access the ship to Lilycove which after taking should make the ship run normally.
• If you beat all the trainers in Brawly’s gym the game freezes after beating him, workaround is to not beat all the trainers or go directly to Brawly to avoid the freeze.
