Description

Pokemon Emerald Azure is a rom hack for Pokémon Emerald. Emerald Azure brings an entirely new story for you to enjoy. There are new locations, NPCs, and gyms. Emerald Azure is also difficulty-focused. The Rom Hack uses the Radical Red dex as a base (all stat changes, abilities, movepools, etc, from the Radical Red dex are present here).

The Rom Hack also currently contains 109 variant forms (counting all evolutions), 9 new Eeveelutions, 26 new Mega Evolutions, along with a plethora of custom signature moves for the new variants. Without spoiling the story… here is a little introduction to what you can expect! I’m being vague with this to avoid my story plans being spoiled since I want the story of the rom to be part of the experience. All sorts of evil organizations have arrived in Hoenn!

Team Rocket, Team Plasma, Team Galactic, and more! A few of these groups have allied with one another to achieve… something! Rumors have risen that this plan has something to do with Darkrai and Cresselia, who have become corrupted and taken on a new form. Oh… and Team Aqua and Magma are involved, of course. Team Skull is also lurking about.

Known Bugs

  • Doubles Battles can soft lock. It is rare, and I am not quite sure what causes it. I fixed the majority of these cases but it is possible it may still soft-lock under rare conditions. I am not able to replicate the bug, but I would suggest saving before double battles.
  • Exiting the Stat Edit UI will take you to the Start Menu UI.
  • Stat Edit UI doesn’t show what buttons do what. (L and R will cycle party mons)
  • Various AZ variants need to have their battle sprites polished. The same goes for a few trainer battle sprites.
