Pokemon Lazarus ROM

Pokemon Lazarus is a GBA ROM Hack by Nemo622 based on Pokemon Emerald. It was last updated on March 25, 2024.

Description

Features

• A brand new region based on the Aegean Sea (mainland Greece + surrounding islands)
• A new story, with new characters and a spooky new evil team to defeat
• Charming GBC-style graphics for just about every menu, Pokémon, and object in the overworld
• 9 Starters Options
• 400+ Pokemon from generations 1 to 9.
• A variety of exciting new features, such as overworld Pokémon encounters and a dynamic Day/Night system
• 2 Difficulty Modes – Normal & Hard
• Side Quests with Rewards
• In-game Cheats Function
• Following Pokemon.
• Improved Berry System
• Content up to the 3rd Gym and a bit beyond! (as per the current version – demo v1.1)

Difficulty Modes

Pokémon Lazarus has a Difficulty Mode setting, which can be changed on the second page of the Options menu alongside various other settings!

• Normal Mode: Soft Level Caps, Standard Gym Leader Teams. Can likely beat the game with most Pokémon teams, with a few battles requiring extra planning.
• Hard Mode: Hard Level Caps, Modified Gym Leaders to be more difficult fights. Opponents gain extra levels as the game progresses, ending in a +5 level bonus to opponents. Planning before Gym battles is key, as their Pokémon have stronger moves and more coverage

Changelog

• Added Inn to Pokémon Centers, allowing time skipping
• Added Recommended Emulator list
