Pokemon Gengar Edition is a Pokemon GBA Rom Hack by Peabody66 based on Pokemon Emerald in English. Pokemon Gengar Edition is a QoL hack for Pokémon Emerald focused on letting Gastly actually work as a starter, which it canonically can't, because Ghost moves don't hit Normal types and Gengar's evolution requires trading.

Description

Pokemon Gengar Edition is a weekend ROM hack for Pokémon Emerald. It’s a QoL hack for Pokémon Emerald focused on letting Gastly actually work as a starter, which it canonically can’t, because Ghost moves don’t hit Normal types and Gengar’s evolution requires trading. Posting it because I had fun and figured someone else might too.

Features

  • Gastly is one of the three starters in Birch’s satchel (left Pokéball)
  • Haunter evolves into Gengar at level 36 by leveling up — no more trade-evolution dead end
  • The Gastly line gets a 36-move natural learnset spanning level 1 to 99. Hypnosis, Bite, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Psychic, Dream Eater, all three elemental punches, Destiny Bond, Perish Song, Explosion — basically every move Gengar has ever known, learned naturally as you level
  • All TMs and HMs work on the Gastly line, including HMs that are normally type-locked
  • HMs can be forgotten at the move screen — no Lilycove Move Deleter required
  • The other three starters are catchable in the wild at ~10% rate on themed routes (Mudkip on Route 102, Torchic in Fiery Path, Treecko on Route 119)
  • Mew (Route 120), Celebi (Petalburg Woods), and Deoxys (Route 121) are catchable at 1% rate
  • Every Pokémon’s catch rate is set to engine max (255) — virtually any wild encounter catches with a regular Poké Ball when weakened
  • Gengar’s base stats are boosted to pseudo-legendary tier (100/110/95/130/150/110 = 695 BST)
  • Starting money is bumped to $999,999 (the game cap) — effectively unlimited
  • Gastly knows Bite at level 1 so it can actually damage Zigzagoon (the original Gen-1 design is broken for a starter; Ghost moves don’t hit Normal types)
