Pokemon Emerald Shiny Hunters Dream is a Pokemon GBA ROM hack by AcyliaEditz based on Pokemon Emerald in English. After going through all of the trainers, I realized that Game Freak did not utilize the dex as much as they should have. I turned the shiny rate to 1 in 100. I wanted to be able to casually explore and catch shiny Pokemon. Even though it's 1-100, it will take a while to find specific Pokemon.

Description

I have been editing a version of Emerald that I actually enjoy. The game itself is good in terms of map, enemies, and Pokemon; however, the game is awful for repetitive enemy Pokemon. After going through all of the trainers, I realized that Game Freak did not utilize the dex as much as they should have. I also am a casual player and want to just collect shiny Pokemon. I found a code that turned the shiny rate to 1 in 100. I wanted to be able to casually explore and catch shiny Pokemon. Even though it’s 1-100, it will take a while to find specific Pokemon. I still haven’t found a shiny Dratini lol

Features

  • For those that want Pokemon like Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, and the starters have their own spawn towards the beginning. It is so OP so do not abuse it.
  • Level changes: some trainers have higher-level Pokémon. The Elite four are ruthless, as they should be. Gym leaders have not been changed. However, you have more options when choosing your team. If someone had only one pokemon in their party i typically added 3-5 levels to it so there is random challenges across the map.
  • EVERY trainer including Gym Leaders and Elite Four has a wide variety of pokemon. I kept a few of their pokemon but replaced some with pokemon from earlier generations. For trainers outside of that, there are a variety of pokemon from Gen 1-3 except legendaries. No duplicates per trainer.
    • Team Magma and Aqua now have type-matching Pokémon. The leaders have way better ones and each grunt will have a different fire or water pokemon.
    • Example: bug trainers will have a mixture of Caterpie, Spinarak, Ledyba, Weedle, Wurmple, and the evolutions.
  • All of the wild pokemon spawns has been changed. Each area has up to 10 different pokemon that can spawn. For the most part, I put pokemon in places that made the most sense. I adjusted some of the levels. Specifically Victory Road has a decent jump in levels.
    • example: Pidgey, Rattata, Sentret, and Spearow are found on route 104 (I believe its 104 lol)
  • Map changes: some of the secret bases have been changed. The tree base near Mauville on route 110 is currently unusable. I tried to make it bigger but it did not work out and now its just bad. Do not go in lol
    • Route 113 has way more volcanic ash spots. Needing 10k steps in that area is awful. The spawns have been changed to be only Spinda.
    • Meteor falls is made accessible in early game but the spawns havent changed. If you abuse it then youll ruin your gameplay.
  • Changed movesets. Most water, fire, and grass type Pokemon now learn Charizard’s, Venusaur’s, and Blastoise’s special moves. I wanted everyone to use their favorite pokemon but not be limited because of the moves. Most pokemon can now learn a variety of moves that fit them. Some pokemon like Ralts now learns at least one move that makes it useful when you catch it.
  • Slaking does not have the truancy trait to where he slacks off. It may be overpowered but that mechanic is trash
  • Every Pokemon from Gen 1 to 3 are available throughout the game. Some evolutions are not in the wild.
  • Pokemon like Machamp, Gengar, Steelix, etc will evolve around 45 now instead of being locked to trading. They all learn a special move around 55.
  • All of the grunts have a name now
  • May/Brennan now have different pokemon
  • Changed quite a few of the shiny sprites. I wanted the evolutions to match + fix some of the bad ones. A few to name: Stantler, Poliwrath, Togepi, Gengar, Abra.
  • Onix and Steelix’s shinies are based on the Johto episode with Crystal Onix

Future changes

  • Remove some of the ocean. I am TIRED of the ocean. Route 124 will be the main one affected.
  • Change the description for every item. It’ll give people a laugh
  • . Add more pokemon. The game needs a handful more ghost pokemon. I want to add Sandyghast, Yamask, and Phantump. If anyone would want to help out with that, that’d be cool because it’s confusing lol
  • I want to add Axew, Roggenrola, Tyrunt, Rhyperior, Mamoswine, Grookey, and Dusknoir.
  • Remove the two-typing system. I do not care. There should only be one type per pokemon.
  • I’d love to change the sprites to look like FireRed lol
