Pokemon Emerald Eternity was developed as a binary hack with the goal of staying as true to the original as possible while also making the “definitive” version of the game. It does not include the Fairy type and does not add any Pokémon from other generations. It uses a version of DizzyEgg’s Battle Engine Upgrade v1.0 (with a lot of bug fixes by me).
