Pokemon Emerald Semi-Randomiser ROM

Pokemon Emerald Semi-Randomiser is a GBA ROM Hack by Anguishjumps based on Pokemon Emerald. It was last updated on August 04, 2022.

Description

Pokemon Emerald Semi-Randomiser. What does that mean? Usually, every trainer in the game has a team hand-picked by the developers according to level, difficulty, class, etc. I believe I have created an algorithm that emulates that process and picks an appropriate team every time you start a Pokémon battle.

This means every trainer battle in the game is new each time you play it, but never truly random. In this romhack, you’re forced to play blind against whatever terrors my algorithm has generated for you. Ultimately, I want to create a Pokémon game you can play comfortably from your bed without itching to look up boss teams or level caps on your phone.

Features

Shop changes

• Rare Candies sold for $1 in all shops
• Pokeball prices quartered in all shops
• All evo items are purchasable in Lilycove Department Store 2F

Pokemon changes

• Evo items have been changed to work like evo stones (e.g metal coat)
• Sky Pillar Rayquaza has been changed to Level 40
• Milotic and Trade Evos now evolve by level up at level 36

Text changes

• Gym statues now display the game’s level caps

Otherwise, pokemon are identical to vanilla Emerald as far as I’m aware. Unless something really REALLY bad happened.

Fixes

• Rayquaza at Sky Pillar is now level 40, if you’re rayquaza-inclined
• trainers now scale based on the highest levelled Pokémon in your party, -1 for each Pokémon in their party, or their original level, whichever is highest
• Encounters are now randomised too, on much the same principles as trainers. cool!
• Battle Frontier sets are now tiered behind a level barrier, with them all being unlocked at level 25. This is mainly to prevent middle-stage Pokémon that can either have Ember or Flamethrower (ahem, Combusken) and roll you early game.
• BST buff to Wattson, hope he isn’t too hard.
• I tried to increase battle speed a bit by changing some vars i hope it works
• Evolution items are now buyable in Lilycove 2F
• Milotic and Trade Evos now evolve by level up at 36, as well as their original criteria.

Features added
